Wonderful getaway!

We absolutely loved our stay at this peaceful getaway! The location was so serene and quiet—perfect for relaxing and unwinding. The attention to detail throughout the property was impressive, from the beautifully decorated spaces to thoughtful touches for our dogs, which made us feel truly welcomed as pet owners.Everything was spotlessly clean, and we especially enjoyed soaking in the hot tub under the stars. The hosts were incredibly kind and gracious, and one of the highlights of our trip was meeting and learning about the pigs at their sanctuary—it was such a unique and heartwarming experience!We also had a great time exploring the nearby town of Gladewater, with its charming shops and delicious local food. We can’t recommend this place enough and hope to return soon!

Perfect get-away

With such a well-made cabin, lots of attention to detail, fun/unique decor, immaculate care of the land and their "rescues" (P-B-Pigs with mega personality) Jason and Mitsy have built a great get-away from the city hustle and bustle: Willow's Cabin (located close to Gladewater for excellent antique prowling)!!

Anniversary Getaway

One of our best little getaways! The cabin was perfect, cute, quiet, and secluded. We spent our time grilling, ATTEMPTING horseshoes, hanging out in the jacuzzi , visiting the piggies and just spending time together. The owner/host is super friendly and just far enough to give you privacy and close enough if you need something. We have already recommended the cabin to others!

Quiet getaway

This cabin was too nice for words. The hosts were amazing and our stay was made so much better by the visit with the pigs. We will absolutely plan a return and can’t wait to feed our new farm friends again. The cabin itself was perfect for my wife and I we highly recommend this stay for any couple looking to get away from town and enjoy a nice quiet place away from the crowds.

The hand built cabin was well equipped and comfortable. A great retreat. Visiting and learning about the pigs was quite entertaining and interesting. Mitsy and Jason are great people who have essentially dedicated their lives to caring for these animals and giving each of them their best life. We highly recommend this get away for kickin’ back and learning something new, too!

At one with nature

This property is amazing. We loved being able to really unplug and to step away from city life. The hot tub was such a wonderful treat, and we loved the indoor tub as well. The cabin was so comfortable and homey we had no trouble relaxing and feeling at home. Seeing the Pigs at the Oinkin Oasis was one of our favorite parts of the trip, we loved hearing the stories and those pigs were the sweetest! Can not wait to come back soon!

Perfect girls getaway

The cabin was so incredibly cute! Completely pig themed with pig art, dishes and decor. It was clean and nice. The hot tub was great, having access to the Polaris was a cool plus. It’s a beautiful atmosphere being next to a pond. We were able to listen to music via their Bluetooth speaker system. Communication with the host was easy and consistent.

Unique, peaceful, and relaxing!

There's no other place like this in the world, guaranteed. The cottage is bursting with personal touches by the owners, all fueled by their passion for providing refuge to their beloved pigs. We were able to meet these sweet pigs even though our stay was short, and I learned so much! The cabin itself is well-built and well-equipped for cooking, relaxing, and enjoying nature. We enjoyed the hot tub and the opportunity to listen to the records provided the most. Sitting on the front porch with the music on the outdoor speakers, and listening to the frogs croak in the nearby pond brought us back to another time :) I highly recommend a getaway to this cabin! We will definitely be looking to come back. Thank you for sharing this with us!

We arrived on Friday afternoon and stayed till Sunday morning! I could have not asked for a better stay for friends wedding Gladewater Tx. Mitsy and Jason were more than helpful when we asked questions. The cabin was clean and inviting. The hot tub was clean and worked perfectly. The thing that had me at Hello was the pet friendly yard and all the amenities that you would need if you have a pet. They left a treat and toy for our dog. The pet door was good for her to go in and out of. We enjoyed walking the property with our dog. We didn’t get to visit the piggy’s sanctuary by our choice but when we get another opportunity to visit again it will be on our list. I loved reading the stories online and most of all Willow’s story and how much she ment to you and your family. Thank you for sharing this little piece on heaven on earth with us. Sincerely Misty,Brandon and Trudy
Trudy enjoyed being able to play outside!
Loved the decor!

We had a wonderful time here with our dogs. Cute little house. Yard fenced in but not huge. We didnt get a chance to go see the pigs unfortunately but we did see them when we walked the short trails around.

Our country retreat w/ the oinks

This was the perfect place for a retreat with a mix of southern hospitality and the country life not far from civilization. Mitsy and Jason were the best host we’ve had thus far. They do their best to ensure you have fun and relaxing experience with all of the games, ATV and trails as well as the hot tub! You won’t be disappointed we definitely weren’t. Be sure to visit the pigs especially Jolene and her mini Jolene’s and big ole Mac. Lol ask for a conversation with petunia.

Rest & Recovery Time

Loved and adored the property!!! As soon as we pulled up it was soooo surprising how secluded and serene this beautiful cabin was. Above and beyond all of our expectations!!!!We had just been through some pretty challenging months and wanted a space to help us recover from things Never in our wildest dreams did we think we could find such an amazing getawayway. But this is it folks!!!!From the location and the love put into the handmade cabin. Loved that it has no wifi and all of the pigs surrounding us. The hosts were super sweet and available to help us feel right at home and made us feel like family.The only horrible thing was leaving. We miss it already.My husband said that he would have paid twice what they were asking. There was so much to it and on top of that they allowed us full access to a Polaris ranger which made trail riding a ton of fun!

About the host

Hosted by Mitsy

Host profile image
Our Mission, at the Oasis, is two-fold. First, we provide a forever home to the swine that are put into situations causing them harm, or those that were pets but have been discarded after growing too large or too pig-ish. With our compassion and commitment to never give up, we want to give these intelligent animals a second chance at life - at the joy of being a pig.

Secondly, we believe change never occurs where awareness and education lack. With over 150 pigs in our care and calls for those needing homes flooding in daily - we know the best defense is a good offense. We aim to educate and bring awareness to the growing problem of backyard breeders and the lack of understanding of what owning a swine truly requires.

To help us better achieve our mission, in 2016 we've made the Oinkin Oasis a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

To learn more about our organization, sponsor one of our residents or for general inquiries, please contact us directly at oinkin_oasis@yahoo.com.

We would like to open our sanctuary cabin door for you to not only enjoy time away from the busy life we are forced to maintain but to meet our residents that give Jason and I the drive to do what we do each and every day along side our full time careers. We promise, you will not be disappointed with the blood sweat and tears Jason has poured into Willow’s cabin for your relaxation.

Please note that, persuant to our status as a 501c3 non-profit organization, this item is considered a gift in return for a donation. All profits support Oinkin Oasis Forever Home At Rockn W Ranch. Our mission is to provide a Forever Home to the less fortunate swines that have been put into unfortunate situations that fails them the life they deserve.

Why they chose this property

Willow’s Cabin has the absolute getaway opportunity that includes an outdoor hot tub, inside whirlpool, queen sized bed and a comfy chair that folds out into a twin sleeper, a full kitchen complete with a stove, microwave, refrigerator/freezer, Keurig, and all cooking necessities to prepare your meals and enjoy on the handmade kitchen table or on the 8’ x 30’ front porch overlooking the ponds furnished with rocking chairs and ceiling fans while listening to nature or your favorite tunes from the outdoor speakers.
