About this property

East Texas Hideaway-close to Canton and the lake

Welcome to Briar Glen Cottage. Fully remodeled house in rural East Texas. Come sit in the rockers on the porch and enjoy the quiet. You may see deer in the yard or the neighbor’s yard. Enjoy dinner on the patio, swing in the hammock, build a fire in the fire pit or stay in and watch Direct TV. Children have their own secret playroom. Close to First Monday in Canton. About 40 minutes to Lindale and Tyler. Callender Lake is the best kept secret in East Tx. The community offers a fishing pier (about 3/10 mile away), boat launch, swim area and park, each of which are a short distance away, on a private 365 acre lake. Bring your water toys! Great vacation getaway!!

This is a rural location so you may see a couple of friendly neighborhood dogs. There may be other loose dogs in the neighborhood as well. Also, depending on your cell phone carrier, your signal may be weak which may require you to step outside.

Briar Glen Cottage comfortably sleeps 8 people. We can accommodate two more people, but if so, they would need to sleep on the floor. If you wish to add up to two more people, there will be an additional charge of $20 per person per night. We require that you let us know about any additional guests when you book. Any unauthorized overnight guests will be grounds for cancellation through VRBO for failing to abide by our House Rules.

Please be considerate of our great neighbors by keeping quiet hours from 9 PM to 8 AM.

There is one Ring camera over the driveway.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Wanzer

Host profile image
My husband and I have owned property in this neighborhood since 2009. We purchased this house in August of 2021. It was our desire to offer a quiet haven to guests but allow them to still be close to Canton and the other beautiful places in East Texas. We live just half a mile away. We just moved here permanently from Richardson, Tx in February 2021. We love the rural setting, the beautiful sunsets over the lake and the quiet country life here.

Why they chose this property

If you need to escape city life, this is the place to be. The cottage sets in the back of the subdivision with only two immediate neighbors. The community is gated. The trees are gorgeous and the fishing pier is just a 2 minute drive away (or walkable) for beautiful sunsets. You can also hang out at the public beach, children’s park or bring your own boat to launch. Callender Lake is a small private 365 acre lake. You could also bring your own canoes or kayaks.
