Hemlock Haus is Awesome!

We stayed here with family and rented both units; it was perfect! The place was super clean and had AMAZING outdoor space. Jen was a superb host. She had great recommendations on things to do, restaurants, hikes, etc. And she was always checking in to make sure that we had everything. (We needed extra blankets and had them in minutes.) The location was great too. I cannot recommend this place highly enough!

Great stay

The cabins were nice and clean. We loved the backyard patio, it was a big area with a fireplace and picnic tables. That was perfect for playing cards and hanging around the fire. We also loved that Jen let us use their backyard, it is a huge backyard with a trampoline and swing. The backyard was perfect for setting up games with plenty of space. The check in process was easy, Jen greeted us and gave us a tour of the property. She even marked on the map restaurants and places we could visit. The check out process was simple and easy.

Wonderful Getaway

Perfect Cooks Forest location near trails and the river. Very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the multiple areas to dine and gather. Hosts are welcoming and eager to ensure a pleasant stay. Definitely recommend!! My 80 year old parents found it most pleasant!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Traugott

Almost five years ago our family left the bustle of DFW (and great Mexican Food) to live a quiet dream in Cook Forest. Our property came with two cabin rentals formally known as the Tree House. The Tree House Cabins were rented out by the previous owners since the 1970's. We have many years of experience in the hospitality, sales, and the business world and look forward to providing you with nicest "Southern Hospitality" during your stay. Please let us know how we can help you plan your stay, we are here to serve you.
