About this property

Luxury Log Cabin in the Premier Resort-Holly Lake Ranch

The Taylor's Whispering Pines is a log home in the piney woods of East Texas in the gated resort community of Holly Lake Ranch. The cabin is located on a secluded lot that is only two long blocks from the amenities of Holly Lake Ranch including the lake, park, courts, putt putt, hiking trail and much more.

This beautifully decorated rustic, yet modern, log cabin is perfect for families or couples that are looking for a romantic get-away. From the moment you enter the door, you will be encompassed with a feeling of welcome and relaxation.

This unique log cabin has 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths. With 2 king beds, 1 queen bed, and a pull out queen bed sofa and two memory foam rollaways stored in a closet, the cabin can sleep 9 comfortably. 9 guests is our maximum (we can not exceed 9) and there is parking for up to 5 cars.

The three spacious bedrooms offer smart televisions, and each has its own unique ensuite. One of the bedrooms is its own private suite located off the large covered back porch. The open concept kitchen is fully stocked with everything you might need to make your stay more enjoyable.

The living room is great for gathering or for enjoying the ambiance of the fireplace. In the mornings, you can enjoy your coffee on the back patio while wildlife watching. In the evenings, you can sit around the warmth of the firepit, or make s'mores with family and friends.

Items included at the cabin...

-Fully stocked kitchen ready for cooking and serving,
-BBQ Grill with propane provided,
-Coffee Maker (drip style),
-All linens for beds and towels,
-Fire pit with firewood provided,
-Smart televisions in each bedroom and living area, and
-WIFI throughout the house, patios and firepit.

There is something for everyone at Holly Lake Ranch Resort. Y’all will enjoy amenities such as fishing (no fishing license required) at the 5 private lakes, golfing, swimming beach, hiking, biking, tennis, putt-putt, disc golf and so much more. Please note that Holiday Inn has seized operations at HLR and their eastside amenities (including the watercraft rentals on the eastside) are closed to all HLR owners & their guests. Our cabin is located on the westside and the above listed amenities are available on westside. There is a restaurant in the resort near the golf club house. Other restaurants are available outside the resort.

100 miles east of Dallas and minutes from Tyler, Mineola, Gladewater and Jefferson guests can enjoy antique shops, restaurants, theatres, wineries and local entertainment.

Just like Holly Lake Ranch, our cabin is for your families and friends to enjoy. Our cabin is not a “party house”; therefore, no loud gatherings, no events and no parties are allowed. Our custom log cabin and it’s upscale rustic decor & furniture is our personal weekend getaway home and we expect guests to take great care of it. Up to TWO dogs are welcomed to stay at the cabin but only if they are house trained (know to go outside) AND are NOT destructive. Dogs are NOT to be ever left alone in the cabin or a room unless they are in a crate.

For security, outside facing only cameras (Ring) are located on the outside of each exterior door of the cabin. There is also a Ring camera at the Barn door. They are not actively monitored.

Thanks for your interest in the most unique and nicest vacation rental home at Holly Lake Ranch!

Great place to slow down and unwind

With the trees, deer and squirrels, you get a feeling of seclusion. Your own private getaway that is so peaceful and relaxing. We really enjoyed the lakes and sandy beaches. Love the welcoming bear and Big Foot. The layout of the cabin gave us all our own space when needed and love the real wood furniture.... beautiful.

The Bear Cabin

Great place to go with a beautiful setting. The kitchen is well stocked. The bedrooms are very comfortable. The owner is very easy to reach with any question you may have. There are several little surrounding towns that are fun to visit with good shopping and restaurants. We have visited twice and to plan to do so again!

Beautiful new rustic cabin with ALL the extras and more.

Large three bedroom, three bath house with log cabin appeal. Great furnishings and decor meant to be in the woods. Large living and dining area with great kitchen, fully functional . Large beds with comfortable mattresses, sheets, and pillows. Large outdoor entertainment area with covered porch. Ping pong table, grill, large fire pit surrounded by ten confortable chains surrounding it. Perfect for a family vacation or weekend getaway. I would have given it a five rating, but the TV's weren't working and it was a big football day.

Whispering Pines at Holly Lake Ranch

While we enjoyed the property and it was as was described on VRBO, we had a few things that would have made our stay a little more pleasurable. The grass was very long, wish it had been cut, so our littles could play outside. The floors inside were very dirty, appeared they had not been mopped at all. Bare feet turned black within an hour of walking on them. Cobwebs in the corners inside. Shower heads all need some work to perform properly. AND the last and most important, we found a pill on the floor at the foot of the bed. Had it been vacuumed that would not have been there. Dangerous for little children!

We had a great time on our vacation! There were 3 rooms with big beds, and a bathroom for each bedroom was amazing. The scenery was beautiful and we were blessed with the presence of many a deer right outside the front and back windows. The front windows were huge and it was very peaceful to sit and watch the wildlife. Also, 24/7 security made it feel very safe. Very thankful for the pet friendliness and accepting my cat. She always go with me! The downsides were a dirty oven and the ice maker didn’t work because the filter needs to be replaced. A downside (outside of the owner’s control) is NO cell service AT ALL. There is wifi, but my phone said SOS or Satellite the whole time.

Couldn't have been happier!

We all loved this home so very much that we are thinking about already booking for next summer. From the perfect location, beautiful home and decor to the relaxing back patio to hang out on and wait for deer to wander up. The house was so clean with plenty of towels for everyone and the kitchen was stocked with any dishes we may have needed. Host was friendly and communicated so very well. Can't wait to return!!

All I can say is Wow!

The gated community is beautiful. With all the trees and large lot you can’t tell you have neighbors. Luxurious cabin. Very clean. Deer wander right up to the front door. Although we didn’t have time to use them, the community has lots of amenities. Golf, putt putt, pickle ball , private fishing lakes with docks and more. Will book here again.

Super Relaxing

The house has great bedroom and bathroom set up for convince and privacy. The living space is large and very comfortable for small or large groups. The outdoor living space allows everyone to enjoy a great covered porch , overlooking a wonderful wooded view. The owner was very easy to work with. I would recommend this location to friends and family.
