Great relaxing stay

The property was ideally situated and had all.the amenities one can expect in an off beat location. Close to the town but far away to feel truly relaxed. My family was there for the Polar Express train ride but had plenty to in the house in our downtime too. My family had a lovely stay and yours will too.

Great cabin and host

The cabin was perfect and very clean. The host was super-responsive to all of my questions. I could not have been an easier stay. The only downside is that the cell phone service in the area is bad, but the host has WiFi to use, so that helped fix things. I would definitely stay here again.

Great peaceful place

We came with family for a wedding in Palestine. This place was clean, quiet and peaceful. The owners own Rump’s BbQ I highly recommend. Her desserts are the BEST! The place has been thoughtfully stocked with items you may have forgotten (toothbrush, razor, first aid kit, shampoo, etc) We would definitely come back if we have a chance.

A little piece of peace!

The cottage was a great size, and spacious with beautiful decoration and furniture. Great updated appliances, fireplace (used the lights for ambiance, TV with Direct TV and internet) the internet is a little slower but to be expected being out in the country. The fishing pond was great entertainment for some to catch and release, there were several big fish! The bbq pit was helpful in grilling hamburgers for the family. We will definitely be back when visiting family in the area.
