Perfect Stay That Gives Back

We had a wonderful stay at Willow's Cabin. The cabin is cozy and the decor just makes you smile! It was wonderful to sit on the porch and listen to the birds and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The bed is so comfortable and it was the perfect setting to relax and enjoy the quiet. We loved visiting Oinkin Oasis and meeting all the piggies! I love that our stay goes to supporting such a wonderful cause. Communication with the host was fantastic. We will definitely be back!

Cozy little cabin

It was the perfect little place. My only complaint was the bed. It is memory foam and needs replacing. However, that being said I would stay there again and again!!!

Unplugged and relaxing - A+++!!!

An amazing stay that matched all the reviews and provided what we needed - an unplugged, remote and relaxing stay! Pitch black at night, shaded during the day. Hot tub outside is accessible via a fully paved pathway. External sound system speakers are high quality. Having the vinyl turntable and listening to classic records was relaxing, but also being able to stream your personal music to the system was a great touch. HOT HOT water available! (And that outdoor tub is a very neat feature!) Overall a near perfect stay. My only awareness I'd put out there for anyone, if this is important to them (and is not an overall negative of any way): internal tub is higher so can be an issue for shorties (like us), internal lights create heat and are of the dimmer type - romantic yes, but a little impractical to stay cool and/or see things clearly for older eyes, no desk/small table besides what is in the kitchen, bring favorite DVD's to watch, consider grocery shopping on the way in - Brookshire's is the only grocery in town and its a traditional smaller style store - so selection is limited compared to what we've grown accustomed to in large Wal-Mart towns.

Fun with piggies!

The owners of this property are SO helpful, accommodating, and are so quick to respond to your messages and questions. The cabin is so cute and quaint, and has all you'll need for your stay. The pig sanctuary is right across from the cabin, and they really take the time to introduce you to the "residents", (they know all of them by name, and there's over 100 of them!),answer questions, and let you interact with the animals...who LOVE belly rubs, btw! My daughter and I had the BEST time, and can't wait to go back!

Perfect get-away

With such a well-made cabin, lots of attention to detail, fun/unique decor, immaculate care of the land and their "rescues" (P-B-Pigs with mega personality) Jason and Mitsy have built a great get-away from the city hustle and bustle: Willow's Cabin (located close to Gladewater for excellent antique prowling)!!

A perfect escape from the city

My partner and I stayed here to get out of the city for a bit. The place is super isolated (a great benefit in our case) and you aren't likely to run into anyone unless you want to! In our case, we met up with the property owners and they gave us an amazing walk around the pig rescue, meeting all kinds of pigs from potbellies, to huge farm pigs, and even some rescued feral hogs! The cabin was peaceful and unique, a perfect amount of space for two, although we spent a lot of our time in the rocking chairs on the porch and the hottub. Best of all, the cost of the rental goes entirely to the pigs, so we left feeling great about the money spent. 10/10 would stay again!

2nd Trip (even better than the 1st)

Such a wonderful place to relax. We enjoyed the first time we stayed at the cabin immensely, and decided to return for a second stay. We stayed longer this time and visited the pig sanctuary this time. The hostess, Misty, was so gracious and spend time talking with us and answering questions. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch enjoying the rain and the wild life. You will NOT be disappointed if you decide to visit Willow’s cabin!!

Great little interesting cabin

We rented Willow’s Cabin for a weekend getaway to celebrate my wife’s 40th birthday. This place did not disappoint! The property owners are super nice and accommodating. Definitely check out the pig rescue, lots of fun. Plenty of amenities on property so you can relax and have fun. My wife also enjoyed shopping in Gladewater and Mineola so there are things to do locally. We had a great time, and can’t say enough how great the property owners were, and how cool their cabin is. We definitely will be back.

We enjoyed the peaceful, comfortable, and clean cabin. Soaking in the hot tub while watching a doe feed and her fawn frollick was a highlight. We enjoyed meeting Jason and learning about their precious pigs. Our stay was delightful!

Cozy/cute cabin

We really enjoyed our time in your cabin. We needed a break, and a few days to celebrate our 25th anniversary. We found that in your cabin and property. It was very cozy, and adorable, even though we got lots of rain - we still enjoyed our time there. Blessings, Jon & Lisa

About the host

Hosted by Mitsy

Host profile image
Our Mission, at the Oasis, is two-fold. First, we provide a forever home to the swine that are put into situations causing them harm, or those that were pets but have been discarded after growing too large or too pig-ish. With our compassion and commitment to never give up, we want to give these intelligent animals a second chance at life - at the joy of being a pig.

Secondly, we believe change never occurs where awareness and education lack. With over 150 pigs in our care and calls for those needing homes flooding in daily - we know the best defense is a good offense. We aim to educate and bring awareness to the growing problem of backyard breeders and the lack of understanding of what owning a swine truly requires.

To help us better achieve our mission, in 2016 we've made the Oinkin Oasis a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

To learn more about our organization, sponsor one of our residents or for general inquiries, please contact us directly at oinkin_oasis@yahoo.com.

We would like to open our sanctuary cabin door for you to not only enjoy time away from the busy life we are forced to maintain but to meet our residents that give Jason and I the drive to do what we do each and every day along side our full time careers. We promise, you will not be disappointed with the blood sweat and tears Jason has poured into Willow’s cabin for your relaxation.

Please note that, persuant to our status as a 501c3 non-profit organization, this item is considered a gift in return for a donation. All profits support Oinkin Oasis Forever Home At Rockn W Ranch. Our mission is to provide a Forever Home to the less fortunate swines that have been put into unfortunate situations that fails them the life they deserve.
