About this property

Cozy cottage in peaceful, rural setting, 15min away from public beach on lake

Get away from the hustle & bustle at our hilltop home. Large fenced in area for your furry friends. Outside of town surrounded by farm life on a quiet path, there is something for everyone, from the outdoor adventurers to those seeking peaceful getaways. Just minutes away from the lake & 11min from town with a scenic drive through forest trees in every direction. 25 min away from River Run ATV Park with plenty of trailer parking. There are hiking & biking trails as well as museums and safaris.

Great Family Trip

This is the perfect little place when we want to visit our family in Jacksonville. It's nice to have a home away from home to spend time with our kids and grandkids. This house has everything we needed to make memories with our family during the day and rest well at night.

We'll Be Back!

We've stayed at several VRBO houses, but this one feels like a HOME! The kitchen is well-stocked, and every room is clean and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and we can't wait to go back!

Quiet stay in the country

This is a great place to stay. We had 3 couples and a dog and were in the area for a baby shower. The beds were comfortable, the house was very clean and the neighborhood was quiet. The kitchen was well appointed with everything you need to prepare meals. I will definitely book her again if I need to stay in the area. It's about a 30 minute drive to Tyler.

Nice quiet house

Nice newly remodeled home, very cute and plenty of room. The can opener doesn’t work, so would suggest bringing one. Had a little trouble getting in. But other than that it was very comfortable for playing games with friends. Close to town.
