About this property

Return to the easy life at this quaint farm close to venues, lakes, and more!

The “Farmhouse” was built in 1945 in the colorful rolling hills of Redland, TX. It is nestled in the beautiful Piney Woods among Redbuds, Pines, Dogwood, Gum, and Oak trees. Each season is vibrant with color!

The Farmhouse is located off Highway 80 between Mineola and Hawkins and boasts numerous nearby activities! In addition to the location being a venue for quiet and relaxation, Highway 80 itself is famous for its bi-annual garage sales, and it connects many historic towns where antique shopping is a must!

One such town, Mineola, has several music venues to add to the ambiance and local color of this historic town. For any fishermen/women out there, lakes Fork, Hawkins and many more are close by! The cities of Canton, Tyler, and Gladewater are just a short scenic drive away, and let's not forget Country Music star Kacey Musgraves grew up in Mineola

Everything was as advertised. Really enjoyed our stay out in the country. There was a super friendly cat that visited us as well so that was a bonus.

The virw was so peaceful. I did wish it had a dishwasher. The beds were comfortable. The internet was satellite vut homeworker warned me that it can be slow due to weather. A nice patio to enjoy outside weather. They were very attentive.

Dirty forks in furniture in bedroom, trash under sofa, toilet not working (had to buy own plunger), a/c not working it was 80 degrees in home (had to sleep in living room on sofa and floor with doors open for cross breeze), ceiling fan worked only in one room, tv in master bedroom did not work. Of all VRBO stays I’ve ever had this was by far the worst stay.

The goal was to get away

We really wanted to get away for a few nights and relax, this spot was perfect. The area is beautiful, the house is great, the bed was comfortable, and it was nice and quiet. Towns are close enough to get some food or supplies and get back to doing nothing, Mineola, Hawkins, and Lindale are great little towns. Nelda was very helpful and nice. We enjoyed our stay.

We had the best time! The farmhouse is beautiful and well kept! We loved reading the family history and very much enjoyed how quiet and peaceful the area is. My niece particularly enjoyed playing the piano. She spent most of her evenings there instead of browsing on her phone which was a definite plus! Nelda was a wonderful host and always made sure we had everything we needed! I cannot say enough about her hospitality! Thank you so very much!

Found a great place to stay after our Uncle’s funeral.

The whole family loved the peaceful feeling when we drove through the gate, to see the land and the trees and the little farm house. We walked in and again felt a peaceful spirit. The history of the house really excited my wife, daughter and Granddaughter. Yes we would definitely stay again.Thank you for the wonderful feeling we felt when we were there.

Very Quiet

Very quiet and peaceful place. A lot of history in that house. Wish I could have meet Nelda to gain some more insight into history of the property. There is a very talkative cat that oversees the homestead, One thing that confused me was the "rules" said "no glass containers" yet all the plates, bowls, and even the coffee cups were glass.
