Kitchen could have been better stocked with cooking utensils. Wrong filters for coffee maker. Not enough paper towels. Upstairs could have been cleaner. Spider webs near beds. My brother-in-law killed a brown recluse spider downstairs. Just a suggestion; each bathroom should be stocked with soap and shampoo. Only one stand up shower. Drawers broken in kitchen and by coffee maker.

Property was as advertised

Our family enjoys the peace, quiet, and beauty that comes with country living. Cozy Retreat provided all of that and more. The grandkids enjoyed fishing in the pond and our grandson caught his first bass! Natalia, the host, checked in advance to make sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Kudos to Cozy Retreat!

Great Country Retreat

Great weekend getaway from the Dallas area. The property is large and wooded with plenty of walkable terrain. The house has a lot of entertaining areas and a great kitchen. The host was responsive and helpful and I’m sure we will be back for a longer stay next time.

Relaxing Country Getaway

Natalie’s property was the perfect family getaway from the city. We really enjoyed walking out the front door to fishing, canoeing, and nature walks with the kids. Saw plenty of wildlife (deer, beaver, ducks, turtles, etc.) right on the property. The cabin was very clean and well appointed with cooking and cleaning essentials. The only things that weren’t apparent from the listing were that the third bedroom is only accessible through the studio bedroom, and the owner had to come pickup a liability waiver in person. Mentioning for other traveler planning purposes.

The cabin was really nice and well decorated

My family and friends had a great time there, Nataliya was so nice and accomidating. It was very peaceful and loved the fishing...I would've given it 5 stars, but the only negative things were the lack of wifi and a good phone signal...other than that it was great...looking forward to going back.

We had a great time, there were 12 of us and the house was perfect. Plenty of room for everyone and everything was clean. Nataliya was a great host, always responded to all my questions in less than 10 minutes. The kids enjoyed so much they wanted to stay longer, we are definitely planning to come back soon.

This was a multi-generational family trip. This property provided a lot of space to stretch out. We really enjoyed the huge family room with the ping pong table. The lake (with canoe) was awesome. Everyone was able to catch fish! We would come here again - very quiet and peaceful.

This property worked out great for our group!

We had a group of 6 in town to visit family living in Palestine, a 20 minute drive away. We hosted a birthday party, watched Saturday football, and ate in every meal! The property more than adequately held our family group of 11 for our gatherings. Sleeping arrangements were more than adequate. I suspect the house would sleep 12, maybe more, people comfortably. The house is very much like a cabin. My kids said it felt like going to camp! The owner was tuned in to our every need, making our stay very comfortable. Thanks Nataliya!!

Misleading Listing and Unsettling Experience

My family and I stayed here for a getaway, and unfortunately, it was by far the worst vacation rental experience we’ve had. The host called at 8 PM asking if we had arrived. When we got there, a car was parked in the bushes, which made us feel uneasy. Within 10 minutes of entering the home, we heard arguing outside. Then, after 10 PM, the host knocked on the door unannounced, requesting we sign a paper waiver, list all family members, and review house rules. She also began questioning our intentions, including whether we planned to have a fire. It felt invasive and entirely unnecessary at that hour.The back door didn’t properly lock—it only had a chain at the top, which still allowed it to open a visible gap. The home had visible dust, spider webs, heavy mold in the coffee pot, and stained blankets. The upstairs AC panel was locked at 73, which was not disclosed. There was also an outside security camera that was not disclosed as well.The listing claimed 4 bedrooms, but there were only 3 true bedrooms—two connected—and the extra space was not private. The “many acres” were completely overgrown and unusable. Furniture was outdated, and gave the home a neglected, tired feel.Other guests have raised many of these same concerns, which unfortunately we overlooked and the host’s responses were combative, snarky and unprofessional. We came for a peaceful and private stay, but instead experienced late-night confrontation, privacy violations & safety concerns. Do NOT recommend.

Good and Bad

We had a wonderful birthday weekend for my husband's 70th. There were some wonderful things about the property, pros and cons.Location -- wonderful! Secluded county estate, but close to Jacksonville and Palestine.Things to Do -- We fished daily from the pond. The younger members went kayaking on Lake Palestine. We all enjoyed the ping-pong table. There is also a volleyball net, but no volleyball in sight.Check-in -- Very stressful. The owner would not give the gate and door codes until noon on the day of check-in. Since we live 3 hours away, I wasn't able to tell my other two parties the specific information until AFTER they had started the journey. Then, the owner showed up about 5:30 to pick up the liability release. That made me see how distrustful she was of us. At midnight, my granddaughter was awakened by a car, shining its lights on the house. She was actually frightened that someone had breached the gate and was coming for us. I'm sure it was the property owner. But, really? Supplies: The kitchen was great. Everything we needed. We were told not to use the garbage disposal. Well, why have one? (It worked fine.) The towels were thin and old. It took us lots of looking to find the extras. No washcloths! No tissue boxes. We went to town to get those, plus more toilet paper. Features: The master bedroom and all the baths have lots of built-in shelves. Perfect for a traveler! I loved this feature. There were lots of great beds, so the teenagers didn't have to share.
