Such a cozy cabin! It was just what we were looking for to get away. Had some trouble navigating through the trees but it was such a cozy couple of evenings on the porch!

Great hideaway!

I was looking for a few days of weekday retreat and found it. There were a few other guests on the property but it still was quiet and peaceful. If you're looking for an escape from Dallas Fort Worth that's not an all day drive then this is it!

Birthday get away

We was wanting to get away and go camping, even for just 1 night, so a cabin was the best choice. We were very comfortable, the hosts were very polite. Yes we probably will go back.

Not clean

The cabin is quaint. The room was dirty! Looked like the sheets had blood stains! The shower looked like someone had just used it! There was trash on and under the night stands! Bed is so uncomfortable. We barely slept! We will not be coming back. I reached out about the cabin being dirty and never heard from anyone! Not a let me fix it or a sorry. Would not recommend

This was an embarrassing, unfortunate, incident. My cleaning team did not clean this cabin, even though I had assigned it a priority to be cleaned. They are no longer working here. The guests checked in late in the evening and sent me one text about the cabin. I did not see the text until the next morning. The guests did not call me (several phone numbers are listed in their reservation and in the cabin info book), nor did the guests come down to the ranch HQ, a short distance away, to find someone to help them. Despite being unhappy with the cabin, the guests chose to spend the night in the cabin anyway, and then filed a public complaint afterwards. Had I known about the issue, I would have come and cleaned the cabin myself, and I would have offered the guests one of our more upscale cabins at no charge. The guests were not charged for their stay, and I also offered them a complimentary stay at a future date. We made a mistake, but we have taken action to correct it. The positive revues we have received over the years are an overwhelming testimony to our good customer service.

Quick get away.

My wife and I enjoyed our quick get away from the city. Cabin had all the amenities we needed and some extras. We will be returning in the future with our children for another get away. Really enjoyed our stay!

We needed a quiet getaway. This property was perfect. The screened in porch was a great place to relax. The trails in the trees were beautiful. Very laid back and refreshing.

The setting was beautiful, but the cabin was just ok. It was not very clean. Blinds were missing so other could see into the cabin. The shower and shower head needed a major cleaning.

Perfect Getaway!

The Lazy Squirrel exceeded our expectations in every way! The bedroom and bathroom are beautiful and cozy, the area around the cabin is serene and lovely, and it was just close enough to Tyler State Park that we could pop back over for a late evening swim after dinner. The hosts think of *everything*, from a soft robe on the back of the bathroom door to real half-and-half instead of creamer next to the coffee maker (I'd brought my own just in case) to a plastic tub of feed next to the bench by the koi pond. Firewood, fresh-from-the-coop eggs and jars of their own honey are all available for a very reasonable charge. My husband and I are already talking about coming back. Thank you for making our Anniversary getaway so perfect!

Two nights in the pines...

This was a wonderful experience for the two of us--exactly what we desperately needed. We arrived after dark and had quite a difficult time reading the signs and finding our Cabin. We managed to get everything unloaded and were getting our bearings inside the cabin when we heard someone knocking at the door. The gentleman politely said he thought he had rented the cabin. We discussed it a few minutes and realized we were in the Pines Cone instead of the Lazy Squirrel. You might make a note that after dark one cannot read the unlit signs you have placed. If course we had no flashlight--neither did the other couple. I'm glad we managed to figure it out. All and all, it was great, and we really enjoyed the frogs serenading us and the morning birds singing for us and the gentle rainfall . If we can swing it, we would definitely like to make a return visit. We will also spread the word about your little piece of heaven. Thanks a bunch. Lorraine and Bill

Great time!

Comfortable stay. Didn’t use kitchen really because we ate in Tyler. And on vacation the kitchen is CLOSED!! Enjoyed catching a few fish at the pond and seeing the purple martins!

Hidden Gem!

We absolutely loved the Lazy Squirrel! The natural setting and quaint environment was just what we needed. The cabin was super clean, had everything we needed plus extras we didn't expect. We will definitely be back and it can't be soon enough.

Peaceful Retreat

Very comfortable and peaceful even during the rain storms. The large screened in patio made a pleasant place to just chill and listen to the rain and thunder, even at 2am. We're looking forward to a return trip.

Great cozy getaway!

Everything was excellent. We even took a UV light to check it and found absolutely nothing. I wish my own place was this clean. The only issue we really had was the quality of the cookware, but when we asked for a replacement skillet, it was immediately replaced. I’d definitely go again! I just wish we hadn’t have had to leave the evening before our planned checkout because of the incoming winter storm!

Super Cute cabin on great ETX property

Cabin was great and clean. Property was beautiful. My only complaint is that the cabins were all pretty close together so no outside privacy. It was fine for us but I couldn't tell from the pics online.

Thoroughly enjoyed!

The Lazy Squirrel cabin did not disappoint. We were impressed with all the details & extra perks. Cooking on the screened porch was a nice experience. Enjoyed our time sitting around the firepit & was grateful for the supply of firewood provided. Would definitely stay again.
