Safe & Peaceful

This was such a blessing! Had to travel to Texas from NW Ark for a family emergency. I was nervous being in a new town all by myself!! The location of the cabin was so peaceful and I felt so safe! The kitchen was well stocked so that I could eat my avocado with some salt for breakfast. Great hot water for my shower and great water pressure! This was a great place to stay in a stressful situation.

Wonderful little place

It was a nice place, just as it looks in the picutres. The lake is about a mile away though, we thought it was really close by. The home is by the road, but you dont hear the traffic going through. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We will definitely be back if were ever in the area again.

Better than pictures

The pics don’t do justice for the property. Beautiful sprawling oaks. Deer in the yard in the mornings. The plywood walls were actually pretty cool. Very close access to boat ramp. Good water pressure in shower.

Pretty Darn Good

We stayed for a week as we had some business in Temple. The full kitchen is nice, the bed was comfortable and the whole space cozy. I wish it had laundry, but the laundromat in town is good with friendly staff. Perfect for two people.

This was a nice little place for us after the wedding.

We liked staying here; however, some of the pictures had us kind of confused. It appears like there is a lake pretty close. It isn't that close to the house. It is at a nearby campground where you can pay to get in. Outside of that, the beauty was there and the house was a good pick for us for our honeymoon. Just the right size.
