The cottages were cozy retreats even in the rain. The cottage reminds me of an old family cottage. So much fun to stay here. The hosts were generous and attentive. It is a place to return to over and over.

We had a great time here at the KNOX cottage. The view was just so amazing and beautiful all around us. We loved our cottage and the decor applied with the special touches made. Amazingly very clean and comfortable. Tom was very kind and made us feel very welcomed to be there. We ordered the cinnamon rolls upon another reviews suggestion and menu. Mary’s cinnamon rolls were very delicious and very filling. We loved our stay here at this place, and is definitely at the top of our list to come and stay again when that time permits. I regret we didn’t come upon Old Camp Joy with all the beautiful scenery sooner.

A wonderful anniversary weekend! The kitchen had all we needed so we enjoyed cooking all of our meals. The cottage was incredibly CLEAN!! The bed was comfy and the views from the front porch spectacular. We preordered cinnamon rolls and they were AMAZING so don’t miss out on those. Absolutely would return and stay again in the Knox cottage. Perfect and lovely.

Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully designed property with perhaps one of the most beautiful views in East Texas. The cottages are not only adorable, but are clean and comfortable as well. For us it was a welcome challenge to be without TV or Wi-Fi for a few days, but this setting is exactly where you want to be for a digital detox. Plus, there are plenty of amenities to keep you entertained. The sounds of birds wake you up and the chorus of frogs and crickets lull you to sleep. We especially enjoyed canoeing in the lake where many wildlife encounters were had. Lake O' The Pines is (in my opinion) the best lake in East Texas as it's shores have been kept mostly natural, preserving gorgeous views of the piney woods. The drive to the property will have you wandering what you signed up for, but the moment you turn in the driveway you'll feel as if you've just entered the gates of paradise. The hosts do a wonderful job providing everything you need to make the most of your stay, and are quite pleasant to visit with as well. The cottage was spotless and the linens were freshly pressed. I feel this place is a fantastic value for money and will definitely be returning with family and friends.

This time we rented all three houses on the property. Each is decorated so well, clean and comfortable. The views are outstanding right on Lake of the Pines. A flat bottom boat, kayak and canoe are available at the waters edge. Tom and Katherine are a stones throw away if you need anything.
I can’t say enough about how clean and well stocked you will find these properties.

My husband and I went for our anniversary. The cottage was so cute and clean. We enjoyed our weekend stay and will definitely bring kids the next time. You can fish just a few steps away and use their little boats they leave out.

My wife is a teacher and this past year has been very rough for her with Covid and doing home schooling. My job in law enforcement has also been stressful this past year. Staying in this cottage was like a shot in the arm or just what the doctor ordered!!!! Such a peaceful place. We loved it here and it was hard to leave. Tom and his wife were very welcoming and told us if we need anything done hesitate to ask. We will be coming back for another visit

2nd trip to this beautiful property.....stayed at different cottage this time but just as cute as the first. Gracious hosts.....had a small power outage at no fault of owners and they furnished flashlights so we could still play board games with grandaughter. Thanks Tom, Katherine and Mary for a memorable girl’s weekend.
