About this property

Secluded Cabin On A 13 Acre lake; 10 min from Crockett, 30m Palestine

Our family has been curating this hidden gem for 20 years.
Deer Run is a favorite *QUIET* vacation spot for small groups, families, and individuals. IF you are looking for a small FAMILY REUNION this building is also AVAILABLE TO RENT WITH Lucy's Lodge #1423858 (this sleeps 12/6 bedrooms).

**For reduced pricing, contact us directly: info@stillwaterrefuge.com**

There is NO WIFI and cellular reception is not that great, but that is what makes our place so special.

If you are looking for a "tech-free" getaway we are the place for you!

Driving to the secluded cabin you must drive down a gravel road and through a pasture (all on our private property). Most small cars seem to have no trouble, but we wanted to let you know in advance what to expect.

On the main level are the kitchen, dining and living rooms (with a pull-out couch), master bath, and bedroom. A compact washer/dryer is located on the main level as well. Upstairs is the second bedroom with 2 bunks and a bathroom (full-size stand-up shower). Deer Run is built to comfortably sleep 6 people and can accommodate 8 maximum (for an additional fee) if the sleeper sofa is used. Outdoor seating is available on both the front and back porches. All linens and cookware are provided. Deer Run has central heat/air and satellite TV in the living room and master bedroom. All you need to bring are the groceries, a swimsuit, and your fishing pole!


Any additional activities must be scheduled PRIOR to your visit.

Wonderful get away!!
We enjoyed our stay at the cabin so much! It was very clean and comfortable. We fished right off the dock just outside of the cabin. We caught 56 fish while we were there mostly large mouth bass and blue gill perch. We went out on the boat and fished some as well. It was very hot but a little rain shower cooled us off. There is super cool rope swing and sandy beach area, we didn’t swim though. The owners were very nice people and helpful. We will be going back!

Zero cell phone service and God's beauty lead to amazing family time! From fishing, kyaking, rope swings, bonfires, and board games, its a place you can never forget, and can't wait to get back to! Our little piece of heaven will always be our favorite family trip!

A corner of Heaven
Our weekend getaway at this lakeside cabin was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the tranquil beauty of nature and the warm embrace of the cozy cabin. With excitement bubbling in the air, we wasted no time diving into our family adventure. Days were spent basking in the sunshine, swimming and splashing in the refreshing waters of the lake, and exploring the surrounding forests and trails. Evenings were filled with laughter and storytelling around the crackling fire pit, roasting marshmallows and marveling at the star-filled sky above. It was a weekend of pure joy, where time seemed to stand still, and we were able to truly connect with each other and with the wonders of the natural world. As we packed up to leave, our hearts were full of gratitude for the memories we had made and the special bond we shared. This lakeside cabin will forever hold a cherished place in our family's history, and we can't wait to return for more adventures in the future.

Great Fishing Weekend
I rented Deer Run with three friends for a guys fishing weekend. The cabin was perfect. It was super clean and right on the water. We were able to fish the whole weekend which is exactly what we were wanting to do. I contacted Amy with a few questions anbout the property and she was quick to respond and provided all the details we needed. We would definitely come back to this great property!

Secluded, relaxing stay
The property is truly remote, beautiful, and full of things to do! My bestie and I stayed here for some R&R away from our families. It was quiet, quaint, and an impressive piece of property. The bunkbeds upstairs are incredibly comfortable, and the bathroom has an amazing view of the lake. I’d love to bring my family of 5 here next time, when it’s warmer, to utilize the lake and kayaks. Thanks for a memorable place to stay Jesse!

Piece of heaven on earth.
This was a win for the whole family. The cabin was like something out of a movie along with the whole scenery. The beauty of this place was vast and it never seemed to end (no complaints) I can not wait to come back to this place. Next visit here, I’m going to explore everything as this place holds so much history and I’m so grateful they’re willing to share this beautiful place with their guest. Maybe you’ll get lucky and see it rain while sitting on a rocking chair, I did and it was amazing. If you’re looking for seclusion, you will NOT be disappointed.

Daughter’s Birthday Getaway
Great place to unwind and relax with my wife, daughters, and a couple of their friends for our daughter’s 13th birthday. We fished, swam, made smores, rode bicycles, and explored the nature trails. A great deal of “attention to detail” has been put into the property and it makes for a wonderful experience. I am already thinking of reasons to return!

Spring break get away.
We had a wonderful, relaxing time. The kids had fun. We fished and enjoyed the peace and quiet at this lovely property. It was clean and very cozy. We enjoyed a campfire and swimming. We also hiked and explored the nearby Mission Tejas State Park, Caddo Mounds Historical Park, Davy Crockett National Forest and a bit further away the Angelina National Forest. This area is beautiful with rolling hills and lots of creeks/lakes to explore.

Little cabin in the woods
Wow, this place is absolute serenity. So peaceful and beautiful and makes you forget the rest of the world even exists. Such a perfect spot for a family getaway. No cell or wifi service was great for the kids, it forced them off of their devices and to really engage with everyone. The rope swing was sooo much fun and kayaking the lake was peaceful. The home was cozy and had a great cabin feel. My only complaint is the pull out couch bed. This was the most HORRIBLE couch bed I have ever laid on, I don't feel it should be advertised as an extra sleeping space AT ALL. It feels like you are laying directly on springs. My arms were asleep each morning. I definitely would bring a blow up mattress if you need an extra sleeping space. Other than that, the place was amazing and the owners were very kind to answer all of my questions. Great spot for small kiddos too as my 2 year old had a blast in the sandy beach. Overall a wonderful experience! We'll be back!!

About the host

Hosted by Jesse Amy Easley

Host profile image
My wife and I met while attending Baylor University in Waco, Texas. She was a native East Tennesseean that feel in love with Texas and me. Not long after being married, we realized how similar East Texas was to East Tennessee, so we moved. We have been at the ranch for almost 15 years; raising kids and livestock side by side.

Why they chose this property

Our original and current vision in building Deer Run was to provide a place that nourished the soul and brought healing to family, friends, and visitors alike. Year after year, we continue to fall in love with the beauty around us- abundant wildlife, excellent bird watching, open pasture land, rolling hills to numerous creeks and springs to explore. This peaceful, natural setting has made great family memories for us, especially picking the wild dewberries in late Spring.

What makes this property unique

Over the years, we have had many customers that repeatedly tell us how restful and quiet our place is. Many have said that it is like coming home; a place where they feel welcome. The cabin on the lake really is the best place on the ranch. You can sit in the rocking chair on the front porch and watch the sunrise while drinking coffee or end the day on the back porch with the sunset. Many kids have spent their days running and jumping off the little pier into the lake or catching perch the size of a dinner plate.

For all you hunters out there: Deer Run is located at Stillwater Refuge which is a hunting ranch and retreat center. Ask about hunts we have available during your stay!!

For Reduced Rates email or call us to book directly @ Stillwater Refuge.
