Newly Restored Family Cabin With a Relaxing Charm

The family home place has been restored to as close to original as possible. We of course added a few simple luxuries such as an indoor bathroom, heating and air, and electricity. This little cottage is 425 square feet with 2 queen beds and a queen sleeper sofa. Original boards, doors and windows from the house were saved and are once again a part of this amazing home.

Sitting on the edge of the 85 acre home place, guests can take short stroll to the fishing pond, walk the paved road for exercise, build a fire in the backyard fire pit or say hello to our Black Baldy cattle. The area is peaceful, the wildlife are always sneaking around and our sweet kitty Poppat will likely pay you a visit!

The local towns have lots to offer from Palestine's collection of antique stores and amazing restaurants, to wineries and a great brewery in Athens. Don't forget to catch a ride on the scenic train ride from Palestine to Rusk in the Fall and Summer or for the Polar Express ride in the Winter!! We are just a 45 minute drive from Canton Texas home of the First Monday Trade Days.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cabin, which features a fireplace. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a microwave. Conveniences include a coffee/tea maker and a sofa bed.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a hot tub or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.

Perfect, Perfect, Perfect!!
My wife and I booked a 2 night stay and really enjoyed our time there. The cabin is quaint and cozy…had everything we needed, plus more! The outside space was so peaceful. Woke up our second morning being greeted by the horses and donkeys. The hosts left us a box of vanilla wafers to feed them which was such a special experience. The hosts were gracious and kind and far exceeded any expectations we had. We will be returning for sure, next time with the kids in tow! Thank you so much Sonny and Katie Beth. It was just the pick-me-up the wife and I needed!

We came for the eclipse and Katie was a great host. Everything was as stated in the ad and more. She even left us snacks and wine. We enjoyed seeing the animals. We wished we had more time to fish and feed the donkeys! I highly recommend.

This is our second visit to the property. Katie Beth and Sonny, the owners, are so accommodating and the house is everything as described. Great adventure for the kids to pet the cows, play with Cowgirl the dog and property is gorgeous. You won’t be disappointed if you are looking for a quiet place in the country.

Weekend refresher
Just a one night get away from the busy life of being parents. This was exactly what we needed! Katie Beth gave us a quick tour that we requested to see the other locations and we will definitely be back to check those out. We didn't see the donkey but just enjoyed the scenery and fresh air and green grass! Highly recommend

This place was just what I needed to get away from everything going on at home. A short drive down the road, but away from everything. The hot tub was so nice. The animals surrounding the cabin made things cheerful. I have been recommending to everyone who says they want to get away!

Cabin in the country
We always enjoy “out of the way places” for privacy, beautiful areas, and The Henry’s place was on point. Katie is a really friendly host, even when they had a family emergency, and made sure we were in and good to go. Plus, we had a couple 4 legged furry playful ladies named Cowgirl and Thelma, which the kids loved out our whole trip, including The Polar Express Train! We will definitely head back, and hopefully visit with the Henry’s, good down to earth people!

A Unique Experience
This was an experience that will be a part of our families storytelling adventures for the rest of our lives. The kids were enthralled with the farm animals, Martha and Annie, were quite the ambassadors and were a great way to start every morning. You won’t need for anything, Katie Beth the host, was wonderful to work with and did everything to make our stay warm and welcoming. The cabin was lovely and a perfect weekend get a way.
