About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Rustic ranch retreat with access to private saltwater pool.

Escape to the Piney Woods of East Texas and experience the charm of country living on our working ranch. Whether you're looking for a relaxing retreat or a family adventure, you'll find plenty to enjoy.
Spend sunny afternoons lounging by the pool while the kids play, then gather in the Cook House to grill dinner and enjoy a meal together. Detect some treasure in the yard near the 150-year-old dogtrot-style antebellum home with the provided metal detector—you never know what pieces of history you might discover.
Wake up to pastoral views of grazing livestock, collect fresh eggs when available, and visit our friendly resident pot-bellied pigs. In spring, the property comes alive with colorful wildflowers and abundant birds. Summer evenings offer spectacular star-filled skies free from city lights, while autumn brings pecan harvesting and the beautiful colors of an East Texas fall.
Our location is the perfect home base for exploring the area's many attractions, including Cherokee Trace Drive-Thru Safari, Mission Tejas State Park, Caddo Mounds State Historic Site, Davy Crockett National Forest, the Texas State Railroad, historic Nacogdoches, Canton's famous First Monday Trade Days, and the Tyler Rose Garden. If you're visiting during the holidays, don't miss the magical Polar Express train ride—a favorite tradition for families.
The cozy Bunkhouse comfortably sleeps four guests, with additional sleeping available on the pull-out sofa. Inside you'll find a refrigerator, coffee maker, and toaster oven, while the fully equipped kitchen in the Cook House provides everything you need to prepare meals.
Guests have access to the Bunkhouse, Cook House, and swimming pool. Complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, making it easy to stay connected if needed.
Please note that this is a working ranch, so you may see livestock during your stay. The swimming pool is not heated and may be too cool for comfortable swimming after September. There is no lifeguard on duty, guests swim at their own risk, and the pool closes at dark.
If you're traveling with a larger group, be sure to ask about our sister property, The Boho Schoolie, which accommodates four additional guests.
To help us keep the property fresh and welcoming for everyone, smoking or vaping is not permitted anywhere inside the buildings. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Guests who smoke indoors will be responsible for any cleaning or damage charges required to restore the space.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker. Housekeeping is available on request.

Mr. Jack was outside cleaning the pool when I arrived. He was very kind and offered to help me unload my vehicle. This is a working ranch so the owners were out and about tending to their animals. It was extremely peaceful. We had farm fresh eggs in the fridge. The house itself is lovely. The bed was extremely comfortable. The cookhouse has everything you need to make a full meal. We spent the weekend relaxing for my Husbands birthday. It was absolutely perfect!
