Escape in the forest

Group of 7 ladies stayed here for a long shopping weekend at Canton. The outdoor fire pit was perfect. The property was artfully decorated with interesting art pieces, both outdoors and indoors. Highly recommend

Beautiful Lodge in the woods...

The Lodge was amazing and very accommodating and comfortable for our girls getaway. It is beautiful and decorated beautifully and cozy for lounging and relaxing. The only hiccup we had was the road coming in and out of the property. It is extremely rough and should be noted that a pickup or SUV is necessary for access to the lodge.

A unique cabin!

Kathy met us at the cabin and showed us around. The cabin was perfect! We brought our two (very well trained) labs. They behaved so well and enjoyed walks on the property. We took them into Tyler for morning and evening hikes. Otherwise we relaxed at the cabin. The Internet was good, I was able to do Zoom meetings. The S’Mores kit was fun and we loved the dozen eggs from the farm next door! Kathy texted and checked in , such a gracious host! Highly recommend the cabin!

Perfect Getaway

The property is absolutely beautiful! The only sounds you hear are the crickets and the birds chirping. It is off the beaten path, but close enough to Canton and Tyler for great shopping and food. The cabin had EVERYTHING we needed. If you need a peaceful getaway, l highly recommend Dragonhead Retreat!

Must stay place for couples or family

Even my dogs enjoyed their daily trail walks and we enjoyed peace and tranquility. I even finished 3 books that I've been putting away. The only draw back was that it was too hot to light the clay fire place outside. Definitely would recommend!

Beautiful cabin in a secluded spot

We booked this cute little cabin last minute after other vacation plans fell through. We had a great time! It's about equidistant between Canton and Tyler making it perfect for shoppers. There was plenty of room for the 4 of us. The owners were sweet enough to give us a s'mores kit which we took advantage of. They also offered us a scavenger hunt for our son. A few things to be aware of: 1. The road to the cabin is dirt. Make sure you take a vehicle that can make it up there. 2. The loft area is super cozy with a queen size bed and pull out futon. However there are no stairs, just a fairly steep ladder. It wasn't an issue for us but important to know for those who may have mobility issues. There is a queen size bed and twin sofa bed on the main floor. 3. Cell phones don't work well out here. But the WiFi was great! 4. There is no tv. Note this in the listing. We brought our own small tv and it worked great for us. The cabin is well stocked with pretty much all of the utensils and kitchenware that you would need. All you need to do is go to Canton or Tyler for the groceries! Make sure to enjoy the outdoor areas in the morning when it's cool in the summertime. It was beautiful!
