Guesthouse on peaceful 11+ acre homestead! Pet friendly!

Come visit our Château De ‘Shop,’ a peaceful nature getaway in East Texas. Tucked away on 11+ acres of forest, this spacious guesthouse is conveniently located in-between Tyler and Lindale. We are just 4 miles south of I-20, and an hour and fifteen minutes in either direction from Dallas and Shreveport. The building was originally a metal barn/workshop, but has been beautifully renovated as a guesthouse. It is located next to our main home on the property! Surrounded by evergreen forest, two creeks, and plenty of wildlife - Château De ‘Shop’ is the perfect place to relax and unwind. We are a fragrance-free rental! That means that we do not use candles, air fresheners (plug-ins, sprays, etc.), high-powered fragranced cleaning products, or dryer sheets. Our laundry soap and disinfectant spray both have clean ingredients that contain essential oils. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a dining table.

The host was great! The house was beautiful. The only complaints were the remote didn’t work for the bedroom tv, bed was sunk in the middle, so we didn’t sleep good, and the bath tub wouldn’t hold water. Other than that, it was so peaceful, beautiful and had a great price.

Cozy and Clean

This was a one night stay on our road trip and we were delighted with the accommodations. This cottage is tucked away from the city of Tyler on a little property with chickens, roosters, sheep, and a friendly dog. We enjoyed the sounds of the animals as we walked our little dog in the entry road. The cottage is neat as a pin and well stocked with everything you might need. The bed and living space were comfortable and the bathroom has a clawfoot tub/shower. We could not have been any more satisfied with our stay.

Very quiet and clean. Big sweet dog outside watching over a bunch of sheep and chickens. My dog really wanted to hang out with them. Comfortable beds - the loft was comfy and had it's own A/C. Big TV and nice kitchenette. Very unique place. Would definitely stay here again.

Slice of heaven!

My stay at Lydia's place was absolutely wonderful!! The property looks just like the pictures. It is set back quite a way from the road, so there was plenty of peace and quiet, but it was also right next to the owners, so it was plenty safe, which was important as a woman traveling alone. Lydia and her husband Weston are lovely, warm, welcoming people who made sure I had everything I needed. I would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thank you for your hospitality! :)

Peaceful Paso/Atascadero

First time in the area and loved it! Reminded me a little of the Piedmont wine region in northern Italy. House was nice and convenient as we spent time in Paso at a few wineries and checked out San Luis Obispo. House was. Wry good - loved the spacious bedrooms and beds were comfy backyard and back patio were nice also. Good times!

Wonderful “Chateau”!

Our stay couldn’t have been more enjoyable! The chateau is exactly as pictured! All communication with the owners was very prompt. If you are wanting clean…you have found it. But if you are looking for hustle and bustle, center of town living, well this is not the place for you. It was so very peaceful! A little bit of heaven, only 10 minutes from town. We cannot thank our hosts enough and can’t wait to come back!

Second visit to this clean, quiet & peaceful place. Very easy to get to anyplace in the Tyler, TX area from this location. The sheep, dogs and owners are the best; very pleasant and helpful. Would return here for relaxation anytime.

The Perfect Get Away Place

This cozy retreat is the perfect place if you want to get away from it all. It is nestled in the back of the beautiful acreage surrounded by tall pines all around. The house has everything you need for yourself, family, and friends. There are animals on the property that we loved to engage with as well as our yellow lab we brought with us. The owners were absolutely amazing, accommodating, and answered any and all questions we had. Superb stay all around!
