About this property
CLARA'S CABIN... a place to unwind, reflect, draw, write, or enjoy your people.
This is a lovely little two bedroom cabin in beautiful East Texas. There are views of the hardwood forest on three sides with a pasture to the south of Clara's Cabin. It is secluded from the rest of the property and is full of natural light afforded by the large windows. The doors are antique Spanish Colonial with hand forged hinges. As in Gus's Place, we have wonderful stained glass created by regionally acclaimed glass artist, Pat Williams. I think that you will love the very special artistic touches throughout this home.
A quiet spot for reflection is snuggled into a recess in the woods. The walkway from there will take you to the back porch and the propane fired grill is always ready for your own foodie creations.
Truly a place to get away and relax.

Why they chose this property
We escaped from busy, busy Dallas to Nacogdoches in 1984. Wanted to raise our 3 kids here in this wonderful little town and were glad that we did. We thought about moving to Austin when they went off to college but found this wonderful property and happily stayed.
We have turned the original 1865 homeplace, Gus's Place, into a wonderful little vacation rental. We also added a large barn with an apartment, a pool kitchen and we have great areas to allow for large parties or reunions.
"Gus" was so busy that we decided to bring "Clara's Cabin" into the picture. While not as historic as ole "Gus", it is just as charming and decorated with wonderful art and artifacts from that period. Clara's Cabin is set in an area that is easily accessible to our guests who stay there yet very private.

What makes this property unique
IF you love fishing and want to come home with a boat full of fish...let us know and we will line you up with an outstanding professional fisherman/ER nurse, Super nice fellow. Knows where ALL the fish live and is just the finest person you could meet.
In the winter months, I do Raku firings from time to time and kiln openings when the kiln has been fired and is ready to unload.
There are some other amenities that we can offer....Just ask....Kids LOVE It out here!
