About this property

HIDEAWAY at HAWKINS!East TX LAKEFRONT Cabin in the Trees-Firepit-Private dock🐟

🎣 Hideaway at Hawkins offers the PERFECT getaway on one of the clearest, most beautiful, spring-fed lakes in Texas!! Just steps away from the lake shore, come take in beautiful sunsets, fish, swim, boat, or just relax on the back deck or front porch. Our firepit near the water is also a fun gathering spot for roasting marshmallows or hotdogs!! Whether you're looking for a spot for a couple's getaway, a family gathering or a friend's trip, our cabin is all you need for a fun and memorable stay. The Wood County beach and swim area offers a fun place to spend an afternoon and is just a couple of miles from our property on Lake Hawkins. They do charge a nominal day use fee. Our master bedroom has a comfy king bed, en suite half-bath, dresser and full washer and dryer closet. There is also a queen sleeper sofa with memory foam mattress (NOT an uncomfortable sleeper with bars poking through!) You'll find everything you need in the kitchen including a microwave and coffee bar (K-cups included!) If you prefer to cook your own meals, take advantage of the crockpot or full set of pots & pans. A GAS GRILL is also available on the back deck. The white bead board walls and ceilings, along with rustic barn doors, solid wood countertops and fun décor offer a quaint farmhouse feel. Dining for 6, a writing desk, a flat screen TV and DVD player as well as Wi-Fi provide some of the comforts of home. The back deck is a great place to grill burgers or steaks and gather for a meal or drinks to take in all that the peaceful, forest-like surroundings provide. The lake is also home to a great Italian restaurant, A Taste of Italy, as well as The Shiver Shack (snow cones & ice cream), Snack Shack and R & C Beverage Mart and Bait Shop. Come see why Lake Hawkins is called the best kept secret in East Texas!! If you love boating or fishing, there's a private covered dock to tie up to or to fish from, just across the street, directly in front of the cabin. A public swim beach at Lake Hawkins County Park is down the road, just a couple of minutes away. Take a stroll or bike ride along the beautiful, scenic, winding road that lines the lake... great photo ops along the way!! Do you love antique shopping and visiting fun restaurants and junk stores? The towns of Mineola and Gladewater are just 15-20 min in either direction on Hwy 80 and Canton is just a 45 min. drive. Jefferson, Longview and Tyler are also nearby. Come check out these fun towns as well as other attractions in the area! Whether for a weekend or a week, Hideaway at Hawkins won't disappoint. We'd love to have you as our guests and hope you love being there as much as we do!

This is the sweetest little cabin for a couple's getaway! It was clean, the bed is comfy & the view is beautiful! The dock is a perfect spot to have coffee & watch the sun rise. We had all of our meals on the front porch so we could enjoy the beautiful weather, trees & sounds of nature. The lake is a great size to ride your bike around @ 12-ish miles. Our time there couldn't have been any better!

Relaxing at the lake

The cabin is very cute. It is decorated really well. I loved sitting on the dock just thinking and enjoying nature. The time around the fire pit at night was wonderful. Loved drinking our coffee on the front porch. The view is spectacular. A wonderful week of R&R

Cozy, Relaxing and Well Appointed

If you like the serenity of a quiet lake, a comfotable porch overlooking the water and the delightful sounds of birds, then this is the place for you. Even your car or truck is under cover and on a paved surface, so no walking in mud or wet grass. There's even a back deck ans grill for more privacy.

Great get-away for us! Size of the place was perfect for 1 couple (even plus 1). A big positive was having a private dock to leave our boat at overnite. Beautiful lake and area. Bonus restaurant in walking distance.

Really nice getaway

This was a very nice, very clean rental. I enjoyed my stay here with really only one exception: the wifi never worked and the internet was very spotty. I know that the property owners had warned of that in advance, but I thought they implied that it might work sometimes. I would definitely recommend staying here - just be prepared to be out of touch with the world.

About the host

Host profile image
My husband and I love to travel and especially like visiting waterfront locations. We purchased this cabin in hopes that we, along with our family of 5 grown children and 8 grandchildren could enjoy it for years to come. We also love being able to offer it to you as a vacation property!

Why they chose this property

This property is set in a beautiful wooded area surrounded by towering pine trees directly on the shores of Lake Hawkins and we just fell in love with all it has to offer, from a cute and cozy cabin interior to amazing views of the lake to fun activities like water sports, fishing, boating and swimming. We hope you'll book and enjoy it as much as we do!!

What makes this property unique

BEAUTIFUL LAKEFRONT PROPERTY WITH ALL YOU NEED FOR A RELAXING AND ENJOYABLE STAY!! Get away from it all! Come play! Come gather and have a terrific time!
