About this property

Vintage Cottage on Lake!<br>Fish Camp Cabin<br>FREE kayak, canoe & bike use!<br>

2024-Two new electric recliners and a new sofa sleeper with memory foam pad for groups of four!
Warm days and cool nights make for a cozy evening by the fire pit counting the stars. This quaint, fully-furnished lakefront cottage is perfect for family vacations, guy's fishing retreats, girl's getaways, a couple of couples or a romantic getaway with your honey. Overlooking one of the clearest, spring-fed lakes in Texas (the same aquifer that Ozarka and Nestle gets their spring water feeds Lake Hawkins), this 1-bedroom, 1 bath has everything you need to get outta town and forget about the 'real world' for a while. The bedroom, with a Queen-size bed and the Queen-size sleeper sofa in the living area can accomodate a small family or 2 couples. Watch the sun rise over the lake from the deck as you're enjoying your morning coffee. Enjoy our screened-in dockhouse, private boat dock for securing your boat, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, sun-bathing and lots of room to play, walk, run, cycle around the lake or just chill. A public beach at Lake Hawkins County Park is down the road, just a few minutes away. You’ll want “our place” to be your “your place” for your next intimate getaway. We are away from the crowds but closely connected with WiFi, WiFi calling, Roku and Alexa.

We have several outstanding restaurants in our area. Red Rooster Icehouse, Taste of Italy on the Lake and Circle M Crawfish are three of our favorites.

We're 100 miles east of Dallas, 100 miles west of Shreveport, 35 miles north of Tyler and within minutes of Mineola, Gladewater and Jefferson with scores of antique shops, lakes, wineries and some of the best fishing, boating, bicycling and motorcycle riding in the country! Lake Fork, Lake of the Pines, Lake Palestine, Lake Holbrook, Lake Winnsoro, Lake Gilmer, Lake Quitman are just minutes away. So spend a weekend on beautiful Lake Hawkins or spend a week and fish them all!

I want to go back
We loved our stay in this nice little cabin on the lake. The cabin was nicely decorated, comfortable AC, bedding was excellent. The lake is absolutely beautiful with a nice covered deck in front to enjoy the sunrise over the lake with a cup of coffee. The property has a nice dock with plenty of room to sit and just enjoy the view. The owner communication by text was excellent as well. We enjoyed being back in Wood County where my family is from and still have many friends so this was a nice homecoming location. I want to go back!

Great Weekend Getaway
The lake is quiet and beautiful. We love that the house is close to the water and includes: kayaks, canoes, floaties, and fishing poles. Our teen girls enjoyed exploring. Not to mention the fabulous Italian restaurant 1/4 mile down the road.

GREAT CABIN!
We had an incredible weekend at this lake cabin! Check-in was a breeze, and we were immediately impressed by how clean and well-maintained the property was. The covered dock was a standout feature—we spent hours enjoying the beautiful water. The listing was spot-on, and the cabin itself was cozy and comfortable, especially the bed, which made for restful nights. The property owners were fantastic, providing clear instructions and making sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and can't wait to come back!

A Wonderful Family Getaway!
Everything was just as it was advertised. There are even helpful little notes all throughout the cabin that make everything you need effortless. The Riley's are amazing hosts! They contacted me the day before we were to check in and offered to push our stay by one day to avoid the rain from Hurricane Beryl. That was incredibly thoughtful and greatly appreciated. They shared all of the local places to eat and visit during our stay. I recommend this cabin and the hosts to anyone looking for an affordable, clean,relaxing and all around great place to stay. It was perfect for our family of 4 and look forward to another visit as soon as we can.

Cozy Comfortable Cabin
We had a lovely stay during the Texas Monsoon Season of 2024. The cabin is comfortable and is well stocked with everything that you need. Plentiful pillows and blankets (the washer/dryer is a plus). The kitchen is well equipped for cooking full meals and even for baking. I especially appreciate the selection of books and games (both for adults and children) the nice hand soap in both kitchen and bathroom, as well as the beautiful bath gel and fluffy towels! We had multiple thunderstorms and power outages during our stay and our wonderful hosts came out at 10:00 p.m. to bring us lanterns and flashlights. That is great customer service! We will definitely be returning to this sweet cabin.

Perfect Lake Getaway
My husband and I stayed here for a few days and it was amazing. The cabin has a full kitchen and has all the kitchen utensils/gadgets you need. It rained a bit while we were there but sitting under the tin roof patio watching the rain roll across the water was simply wonderful. The scenery was beautiful and watching the squirrels, birds and deer was so peaceful. The dock has a cano, kayaks and indoor seating. The water is clear and there were 3-4 pound bass swimming under the dock. The cell service isn't great and the Wi-Fi is okay but we weren't bothered by it since we wanted the quiet. There are board games and DVDs along with some streaming services. We will do this again!

Relaxing Getaway
We had a lovely 3-night stay. The cottage was cozy and clean. The bed was very comfortable - soft, but not too soft. Pillows were great. Enjoyed a bonfire and smores at night; coffee and turtle watching from the boathouse dock at sunrise. We had a perfect view of the eclipse from the dock. Luckily, the rain clouds held off until after totality. Internet connection was strong and supported multiple devices. We were also able to smoothly stream movies in the evening, even with a thunderstorm raging. Owner was very flexible, and communication was unobtrusive and informative. Would definitely stay again if we ever get back down this way. Can't say enough good things about our stay. Very beautiful and peaceful.

Just right
it is the perfect getaway for my wife and I. We did all the things we like to do. Read, go on walks-around the lake, fish out on the dock, and centrally located to Mineola and Gladewater-places we like to antique. Not to mention a 10 minute walk to the best Italian restaurant we've ever eaten at- Taste of Italy. Will definitely be back!

Quick trip to Hawkins
Our stay was shorter than expected but still great. Clear instructions, great owner communication, property as advertised with lots of extras for activities. We got in a little late and did not want to leave to get food, and there was a great family owned Italian restaurant in the community. Seating on the water, great food and byob. Looking forward to going back when i can spend a little more time and really enjoy the dock.

A FAVORITE OF OURS!!
This cabin is a favorite as the owners take great care to make your stay wonderful. It is very clean and has all the amenities you need to be comfortable. Rain or shine it is relaxing and peaceful. Great for couples, families, or girls weekend. The dock and fire pit area are perfect for small gatherings. Very nice to have items to use on the lake without added fees! Owners are also fantastic at giving you area information if you’d like to explore. Wonderful communication. This is a go to cabin so definitely will stay again!

Great Little Lakeside Getaway!
Perfect little cabin for my husband and myself! We enjoyed sitting on the porch and dock. Wood was stacked and ready for a fire in both the fire pit and the wood stove inside the dock house. Owner made sure to have the personal touches of home including blankets draped and pillows on the outside furniture for the cool evenings. Highly recommend! Great communication with the owner.

What do an Aggie and a science teacher have in common? A love and appreciation of nature. We are excited owners who want to provide you with a step back in time. A stay in a vintage cabin, at the base of a stand of pines, on a pristine lake. Sounds like our kind of place and we want to share that with you.

Why they chose this property

Cozy, vintage, clean!
What more would you want?
Singing birds, scampering squirrels and the breezes whistling through the pines.
More? His and her bikes, fishing kayaks and a canoe all free of charge.
Enjoy a sunrise view from your private pier. Or, jump in for a cooling swim and finish with snacks in your screened in cabana.
Crappie and Bass will fear you as you fish from the pier or 11’, 300 lb limit kayaks. Or, simply tour the lake and soak in the rays aboard one of the two kayaks or share the rowing in the canoe Not enough fun? Jump on a ladies pearl pink Panama Jack bike or men’s black Schwinn bike and ride part or all of the 10 mile waterfront oil top road around the lake. Stop off at the beach area $3/person for a sandy roped off swim.
End the evening with a cookout on the grill, s’mores in the fire pit or treat yourself to the “Taste of Italy” waterfront restaurant 1/2 mile away. The owners are from Macedonia and prepare authentic Southeastern European cuisine complete with homemade rolls and Cannolis for dessert. Bring your own wine.
