Rest & Recovery Time

Loved and adored the property!!! As soon as we pulled up it was soooo surprising how secluded and serene this beautiful cabin was. Above and beyond all of our expectations!!!!We had just been through some pretty challenging months and wanted a space to help us recover from things Never in our wildest dreams did we think we could find such an amazing getawayway. But this is it folks!!!!From the location and the love put into the handmade cabin. Loved that it has no wifi and all of the pigs surrounding us. The hosts were super sweet and available to help us feel right at home and made us feel like family.The only horrible thing was leaving. We miss it already.My husband said that he would have paid twice what they were asking. There was so much to it and on top of that they allowed us full access to a Polaris ranger which made trail riding a ton of fun!

Wished it had been better

The property is beautiful and well maintained. Since there is no internet, I was looking forward to at least watching a little local TV, but the use of the TV is just to view DVDs. But, we could not get the DVD player to work. Out major problem with the place was the complete disregard the owners had for our welfare in not being able to contact them. We tried on several occasions to write to them on the VRBO message board, but NO response. They have a notebook with SEVERAL pages of things that renters are not to do, but the phone number is crossed out. They said if we cared to visit their pig rescue to text them (they did leave a number to do that) but they did not respond to a message at that number. At the end, I believe the hot water had a problem, because it went out, but I'm not sure. Again, we could not contact the owners. They said there were outside towels for the hot tub, we found none, although we decided not to use the hot tub. Because we were in Longview for a graduation, we spent very little time at the cabin and would have loved to see the pigs and make a donation, but again that was not possible because we could not contact the owners. Of all of the times I have ever had a short time rental, I have never been so frustrated - not being able to contact the owners and their endless list of what not to do!!!! I am sure they could have helped us with the DVD player - or perhaps instead of all of the rules they could have listed in the book how to make the playerwork

This was a great place. It stormed while we stayed there and the cabin was good shelter, other than the rain and all the weather alerts would not have known it was storming.

Perfect Stay That Gives Back

We had a wonderful stay at Willow's Cabin. The cabin is cozy and the decor just makes you smile! It was wonderful to sit on the porch and listen to the birds and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The bed is so comfortable and it was the perfect setting to relax and enjoy the quiet. We loved visiting Oinkin Oasis and meeting all the piggies! I love that our stay goes to supporting such a wonderful cause. Communication with the host was fantastic. We will definitely be back!

Unplugged and relaxing - A+++!!!

An amazing stay that matched all the reviews and provided what we needed - an unplugged, remote and relaxing stay! Pitch black at night, shaded during the day. Hot tub outside is accessible via a fully paved pathway. External sound system speakers are high quality. Having the vinyl turntable and listening to classic records was relaxing, but also being able to stream your personal music to the system was a great touch. HOT HOT water available! (And that outdoor tub is a very neat feature!) Overall a near perfect stay. My only awareness I'd put out there for anyone, if this is important to them (and is not an overall negative of any way): internal tub is higher so can be an issue for shorties (like us), internal lights create heat and are of the dimmer type - romantic yes, but a little impractical to stay cool and/or see things clearly for older eyes, no desk/small table besides what is in the kitchen, bring favorite DVD's to watch, consider grocery shopping on the way in - Brookshire's is the only grocery in town and its a traditional smaller style store - so selection is limited compared to what we've grown accustomed to in large Wal-Mart towns.

Fun with piggies!

The owners of this property are SO helpful, accommodating, and are so quick to respond to your messages and questions. The cabin is so cute and quaint, and has all you'll need for your stay. The pig sanctuary is right across from the cabin, and they really take the time to introduce you to the "residents", (they know all of them by name, and there's over 100 of them!),answer questions, and let you interact with the animals...who LOVE belly rubs, btw! My daughter and I had the BEST time, and can't wait to go back!

Perfect get-away

With such a well-made cabin, lots of attention to detail, fun/unique decor, immaculate care of the land and their "rescues" (P-B-Pigs with mega personality) Jason and Mitsy have built a great get-away from the city hustle and bustle: Willow's Cabin (located close to Gladewater for excellent antique prowling)!!

A perfect escape from the city

My partner and I stayed here to get out of the city for a bit. The place is super isolated (a great benefit in our case) and you aren't likely to run into anyone unless you want to! In our case, we met up with the property owners and they gave us an amazing walk around the pig rescue, meeting all kinds of pigs from potbellies, to huge farm pigs, and even some rescued feral hogs! The cabin was peaceful and unique, a perfect amount of space for two, although we spent a lot of our time in the rocking chairs on the porch and the hottub. Best of all, the cost of the rental goes entirely to the pigs, so we left feeling great about the money spent. 10/10 would stay again!

2nd Trip (even better than the 1st)

Such a wonderful place to relax. We enjoyed the first time we stayed at the cabin immensely, and decided to return for a second stay. We stayed longer this time and visited the pig sanctuary this time. The hostess, Misty, was so gracious and spend time talking with us and answering questions. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch enjoying the rain and the wild life. You will NOT be disappointed if you decide to visit Willow’s cabin!!

Great little interesting cabin

We rented Willow’s Cabin for a weekend getaway to celebrate my wife’s 40th birthday. This place did not disappoint! The property owners are super nice and accommodating. Definitely check out the pig rescue, lots of fun. Plenty of amenities on property so you can relax and have fun. My wife also enjoyed shopping in Gladewater and Mineola so there are things to do locally. We had a great time, and can’t say enough how great the property owners were, and how cool their cabin is. We definitely will be back.
