Book Doe's today! The very best vacation rental that I have ever stayed at. Not only is it a lovely home with amazing surroundings, the owner thought of everything! Its also the little tnings too, such as an alarmclock, lovely bedding, a well stocked kitchen and bathroom. The directions and access were so easy! The stop sign at the gate was a great thought as well. I really could go on and on. Thank you!

This was the most beautiful, dreamy place for our stay! We absolutely loved it. It was clean and spacious for what we needed. We loved all the windows and natural light, the porches, the backyard area over looking the pond, the cute water feature, and of course all the beautiful farm land and animals surrounding the property.

This was the perfect place to stay for our family traveling from MI to TX for our daughter's graduation from Baylor. We loved having a relaxing place to retreat to after the busyness of graduation activities. The property is incredibly peaceful and the accommodations are clean and beautiful! We just loved all the animals on the property as well. Thank you so much Dorothy!

A Perfect Stay

Everything about this cottage and setting are stunning! It was spotlessly clean, well stocked and so incredibly peaceful. I sat for nearly two hours doing absolutely NOTHING but watching birds and listening to the birds, and it brought such peace to my soul. Thank you, thank you!!

Peaceful Getaway

If you are looking for a peaceful retreat this is the place. Doe’s Hideaway is even prettier in person. We enjoyed our mornings on the front and back porch drinking our coffee and reading our bibles. What a perfect way to start the day. Had fun fishing and walking around on property, the Alpaca's were entertaining too. The evening skies were spectacular while hearing all the sounds of nature. We will definitely be back when we visit our daughter at Baylor.

The best honeymoon getaway!

We had the best time here! It was the perfect place to get away from all of the craziness of our regular day-to-day. A serene and secluded area, where we definitely got a lot of fishing in! Just a short drive into town to do something during the hottest parts of the day. We absolutely loved it and hope to be back again!

Anniversary 29

Our most relaxing stay to date. The house was better than picturest shown. We relaxed on the back porch and by the waters edged most of the time. We had a storm along the coastline that made winds too high to fish most of the time, but still managed to catch a few. I highly recommend this house for a relaxing stay. Owner was sooo easy to deal with too. We even purchased one of the pieces of art while there.
