Nature Getaway in the Heart of Rural Texas WITH NO CLEANING FEES and a Natural OUTDOOR COLD PLUNGE POOL on property!

Welcome to our peaceful retreat, tucked in the woods and just minutes from the lake. Set on our Private 22-acre Farm, this is a true country setting, where you’ll walk grassy trails, drive down dirt roads, and be surrounded by trees, wildlife, and the natural beauty of Texas.

It’s a perfect spot for couples looking to unplug, slow down, and reconnect. Watch the sunset, stargaze by the fire, or enjoy your morning coffee surrounded by nature. Whether you`re celebrating something special or simply craving quiet time together, you`ll find it here.

Please note: The property is hilly, and it’s a walk down to the lake, to the ponds, and to most areas on the land. It’s not recommended for anyone with mobility issues or those who may have difficulty navigating uneven terrain.

Expect to experience the seasons — it’s hot in the summer, cold in the winter, and the weather can shape the landscape with overgrowth or erosion. We maintain the property, but nature always has a say.

We love our wildlife neighbors and we work to preserve their home.
As part of this natural setting, you may encounter bugs, spiders, poison ivy, snakes, and other woodland critters. We encourage guests to be aware and respectful of the environment around them. If you appreciate the outdoors, you’ll feel right at home.

We’re dedicated to preserving the Natural Texas Ecosystem. Our property is a safe habitat where local wildlife can thrive and raise their young. During the growing seasons, the landscape can be a bit wild or overgrown, which is part of our commitment to keeping things as natural and untouched as possible.

We also farm organically on the property and aim to stay chemical-free. The presence of spiders and lake bugs is simply part of life here—it`s all part of the charm of an authentic Texas lake and woodland stay.

But if you`re expecting a sterile hotel experience or a bug-free zone, this may not be your ideal fit. Dirt on your shoes and the occasional scratch from a tree branch are part of the adventure.

If you`re ready to unplug, explore, and enjoy the raw beauty of the Texas wild, we’d be honored to host you!

Host Info:
We live on the same private 22-acre farm in the original farmhouse and are nearby if you need anything during your stay. You may see us out working in the gardens, tending the landscape, or walking the property.

There are five cabins and a lake house on the property. The trails, natural lake access, fishing pier, ponds, hot tub, and cold plunge are shared spaces. The natural setting offers plenty of room to explore, relax, and enjoy the outdoors. We’re always happy to help if you have questions or need anything—but we respect your privacy and want you to enjoy the peace and beauty of the land.

Other things to Note:
Brookshire’s Grocery and Whataburger are just about a mile away for quick essentials and meals.

The cabin is nestled in the woods near the lake, so you can expect bugs, poison ivy, occasional snakes, and other natural critters common to East Texas forests. Please stay alert and aware while exploring.

Chiggers can be active in tall grass from May through August—please bring bug spray if you plan to spend time outdoors.

IMPORTANT: The cabin features an open loft bedroom accessed by a ladder. This is not recommended for guests with mobility issues, small children, or anyone uncomfortable climbing ladders.

STRICT NO-PET POLICY: Due to the cabin’s construction and the owner’s severe skin allergies, no animals of any kind are allowed. We handle all laundry and most cleaning ourselves and cannot make exceptions. Please respect our health and do not ask for exceptions. There are many pet-friendly options around the lake.

There is no cable or wired internet. Limited jetpack Wi-Fi is provided, but streaming and TV ARE NOT GUARANTEED.

The cabin includes a full-size sleeper sofa with extra linens. It’s perfect for romantic getaways and ideal for couples, though it can accommodate a small family. Please note the space is tight for more than two adults.

We strive to protect the natural Texas ecosystem and provide a safe habitat where local wildlife can thrive and raise their young. Our property is native and may be slightly overgrown during the growing seasons. We practice organic farming around the property, avoiding chemicals whenever possible, and only use pesticides sparingly for nuisance pests. Spiders, lake bugs, and other wildlife are part of this natural ecosystem and the unique experience of staying at Lake Palestine.

This is a place to unplug, connect with nature, and enjoy a peaceful, romantic setting!
