Cabin Fun

This is the cutest little cabin in the woods, it’s peaceful and so tranquil. The owners were so sweet and accommodating, she checked in on us and made sure we had everything we needed and it was all to our liking, which it absolutely was! It was such a great time, we can’t wait to go back and do some more Texas Fishing!! :)

We brought the boat and family down for some Texas Fishing!

Awesome property

This property is adorable! So warm and welcoming! It was beautifully decorated for Christmas!! The outdoor area was lovely and provided the “get out of town” feel we were hoping for. Definitely exceeded our expectations!

TOP NOTCH GETAWAY

If you don’t need the city, this is a great spot to relax and rest. My best friend and I absolutely loved it. The hosts did a fantastic job of outfitting and decorating the place. Lots of room inside and out. Quiet, private. And it was so clean. We have no complaints. If you plan to cook a big meal though, you might want to bring some kitchen items.

The facility was clean and the so well maintained. We loved all of the well thought out details. Thank you, for making sure our trip back to Nac for our daughter was a memorable time!

Comfortable Family Reunion

Property was nice. Our family got together from out of state to celebrate our parents 50th wedding anniversary. The house was clean and gave us a comfortable place to regroup from the festivities.

Wonderful Property to Get Away From It All

We met friends for a football-watching and catching-up weekend. This was the perfect place to do that! It is exactly as advertised! The communication with the host was great! We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back to this property!

Relaxing getaway

We had a great weekend in Nacogdoches! We intended to take our boat out but had issues with the battery. So, we enjoyed just hanging out at the house and relaxing. It was very quiet outside and the weather was perfect. Everything we needed was provided. The house was perfect and comfortable!

Nice Property

It was a very nice property. The only criticism is that smell of the water made it hard to wash clothes. Instructions we left to run the water due to the well, but that didn’t work for the washing machine.

A place of healing

The property was absolutely serene and beautiful. From the drive in to arriving at the property. Secluded, quiets, and peaceful. There were 5 ladies total with me all from different walks of life that made us single. We came for a conference however, we enjoyed out time in a home away from home. The details were so beautiful in the home and it made us all feel so welcomed and comfortable. We enjoyed lounging no the big comfy couches at the end of each night and gathered at the table for breakfast and coffee in the mornings. I personally enjoyed praying and reading my bible on the front porch and the swing in the yard. I went exploring along the creek and loved it. Absolutely hands down we would all return a 100 times. The owners also were so kind in the conversing we had on how to get in the gate. Excellent and highly recommend staying here.

mostly positive

Very clean with ample amenities. Our host, Pamela, was responsive to our additional contacts after we arrived. Whoever cleaned the place before we arrived is a Cleaning Ninja. We have a few nits to pick. The main one is we discovered a camera aimed at the front porch, which belies the VRBO advertising claim of complete privacy. It wasn't hidden, but it wasn't obvious like fake cameras usually are. There was also a Ring doorbell, presumably with a camera and microphone by the front door. Although we didn't do anything to have shamed ourselves, the presence of monitoring devices is, again, contrary to a feeling of having privacy. We can understand the need for security monitoring, but perhaps the hosts should give a written assurance they are inactive when guests are present, or give guests an option to disable it. A short first step on the stairway inside contributed to my brother falling on the umbrella stand. Luckily, he wasn't injured too badly. The "creek" that's advertised was a stagnant pond. I don't recall the specific wording of the ad. Again, this isn't a big deal, but my brother felt misled and asked me to mention it in my review. He also complained about no place to hang clothes in the upstairs bedrooms. I think the checkout time of 10 AM is way too early for people on a holiday or vacation. I had to go to bed early on our last night so I'd have time to sleep enough and get ready to leave in the AM. Noon would be far more convenient to all of your guests. I will be looking at checkout times in my future VRBO rentals and consider whether that's a deal-breaker. We did have cel service and a decent internet via the Wi-Fi, even though we were warned that might be spotty.

Country Getaway

We had a family Christmas weekend of playing games, exchanging gifts, and lots of eating. The place was very clean with large bathrooms and ample parking as we had 6 vehicles. We spent our time indoors because of the weather but the outside looked so inviting. We drove to Nacogdoches and it wasn’t a long commute. I would highly recommend this place.
