About this property

The Owl's Nest

If you’re looking for a nice quiet place to relax and unwind, you’ve found it. The Nest is peaceful, quiet, and secluded with all the comforts of home and within minutes of grocery shopping, antiquing, state parks and Lake Bob Sandlin. Relax on the screened in porch, around the fire pit or in front of the wood burning stove. You might even catch sight of the many deer in the area that love to visit the feeder in the back yard! Along with deer there are racoons, river otters, eagles and too many songbirds to mention! Bring your camera!
For you fishermen and water enthusiast, we have boat parking next to the cabin with outlets for charging and a boat launch approximately 8 miles away.
Drive 15 minutes in one direction and you’re in lovely downtown Winnsboro with antique shops, restaurants, a spa, farmers market and grocery shopping. Drive the other direction for 20 minutes and you’re in Mt Pleasant.
The Nest offers a fully equipped kitchen, queen size bed, queen size sleeper sofa and 2 twins in the loft. And we didn’t forget about your fur babies! There are 2 large, covered crates for them that are cleaned and disinfected after ever visit. The bathroom is equipped with towels, soap, shampoo, and conditioner. The Nest also has a washer / dryer! No need to over pack or take-home dirty laundry!
We look forward to hearing from you!

The most charming little cabin. We loved the seclusion of it. The screened in back porch was a favorite along with the soaking tub on the porch. Everything was decorated perfectly and I loved the little notes left for us. We will definitely be back to stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Melony Lynne Kirkland

Host profile image
My name is Melony, I'm originally from Arkansas, a small country town of about 800 people. I miss that and that is why I have The Nest! I live and work in the DFW area but spend as much time as possible at The Nest. Obviously, I can't be here all the time, so I wanted to share it with other hard-working people that might need a few days to decompress and relax. I hope they love it as much as I do!

Why they chose this property

I love this area because it's remote without being isolating. It's quiet and peaceful and perfect for unwinding from a long work week in the city. There are tons of opportunity for wildlife photography and the neighbors are kind and helpful without being intruding.

What makes this property unique

I think The Nest is unique in that it allows you to be as reclusive or as active as you want to be. You can stay for a week and never see or talk to anyone or drive 15 minutes and do all the shopping and socializing you want or bring your boat and be on the lake in 10 minutes!
