About this property
HIDEAWAY at HAWKINS!East TX LAKEFRONT Cabin in the Trees-Firepit-Private dock🐟
🎣 Hideaway at Hawkins offers the PERFECT getaway on one of the clearest, most beautiful, spring-fed lakes in Texas!! Just steps away from the lake shore, come take in beautiful sunsets, fish, swim, boat, or just relax on the back deck or front porch. Our firepit near the water is also a fun gathering spot for roasting marshmallows or hotdogs!! Whether you're looking for a spot for a couple's getaway, a family gathering or a friend's trip, our cabin is all you need for a fun and memorable stay. The Wood County beach and swim area offers a fun place to spend an afternoon and is just a couple of miles from our property on Lake Hawkins. They do charge a nominal day use fee. Our master bedroom has a comfy king bed, en suite half-bath, dresser and full washer and dryer closet. There is also a queen sleeper sofa with memory foam mattress (NOT an uncomfortable sleeper with bars poking through!) You'll find everything you need in the kitchen including a microwave and coffee bar (K-cups included!) If you prefer to cook your own meals, take advantage of the crockpot or full set of pots & pans. A GAS GRILL is also available on the back deck. The white bead board walls and ceilings, along with rustic barn doors, solid wood countertops and fun décor offer a quaint farmhouse feel. Dining for 6, a writing desk, a flat screen TV and DVD player as well as Wi-Fi provide some of the comforts of home. The back deck is a great place to grill burgers or steaks and gather for a meal or drinks to take in all that the peaceful, forest-like surroundings provide. The lake is also home to a great Italian restaurant, A Taste of Italy, as well as The Shiver Shack (snow cones & ice cream), Snack Shack and R & C Beverage Mart and Bait Shop. Come see why Lake Hawkins is called the best kept secret in East Texas!! If you love boating or fishing, there's a private covered dock to tie up to or to fish from, just across the street, directly in front of the cabin. A public swim beach at Lake Hawkins County Park is down the road, just a couple of minutes away. Take a stroll or bike ride along the beautiful, scenic, winding road that lines the lake... great photo ops along the way!! Do you love antique shopping and visiting fun restaurants and junk stores? The towns of Mineola and Gladewater are just 15-20 min in either direction on Hwy 80 and Canton is just a 45 min. drive. Jefferson, Longview and Tyler are also nearby. Come check out these fun towns as well as other attractions in the area! Whether for a weekend or a week, Hideaway at Hawkins won't disappoint. We'd love to have you as our guests and hope you love being there as much as we do!

Cottage is Too Cute! Extremely well stocked (especially kitchen) as described. Host gives detailed instructions on where to find everything and how to operate. Very helpful! Lake and property is so peaceful. Very nice location.

We appreciate your review and are so glad you had all you needed for a great stay and enjoyed the wonderful lake views! You mentioned some things you felt needed attention that have left us wondering and we’re sorry to hear … 🤔
We have sent a private message through the VRBO portal to ask if you can shed light on that. We are always open to guest’s input so that we can make improvements or repairs that we’re unaware of.
Great property! Owners respond quickly to questions and are very helpful. Super cute rustic cabin with a shaded dock on the lake. We totally enjoyed our stay and we’d definitely book again in the future!

Thank you for the nice review, Teresa! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay at Hideaway at Hawkins. Hope to have you back soon!
This is the sweetest little cabin for a couple's getaway! It was clean, the bed is comfy & the view is beautiful! The dock is a perfect spot to have coffee & watch the sun rise. We had all of our meals on the front porch so we could enjoy the beautiful weather, trees & sounds of nature. The lake is a great size to ride your bike around @ 12-ish miles. Our time there couldn't have been any better!

Thank you for the kind review and for sharing your experience. We’re always thrilled to know our guests had all they needed for a wonderful stay!
Cutest lake cabin with beautiful views! The hosts were very responsive when I had a question and the cabin was stocked with everything we needed for a quick trip. I would advise future guests to screenshot the property details ahead of check in so you can have the info to get into the house since there isn’t cell service in the area.

We appreciate the great review and so glad you had a wonderful time at Hideaway at Hawkins! Thank you for the tip to screenshot check-in info. That’s always a good idea, just in case you need it :). Being that the lake is in a more rural area, cell service signal strength does depend on carrier and can be stronger or weaker at different spots around the lake. Once at the property, guests will have cell service by setting their phones on WiFi Calling.
Husband and I stayed this weekend and we will come back for sure! The house is super clean and cute amazing views back porch front porch and private dock! Fishing was good! Can’t find a single complaint

Having our guests love their stay and feel comfortable is our top priority! The property is a super place to get away and relax and take in the lake views, as well as boat, fish and swim. Thanks for the great review!!
Loved the beautiful neighborhood with the tall trees! Loved having a private dock with an easy way to get in the lake and swim! Such a nice experience overall!
My husband and I love to travel and especially like visiting waterfront locations. We purchased this cabin in hopes that we, along with our family of 5 grown children and 8 grandchildren could enjoy it for years to come. We also love being able to offer it to you as a vacation property!
Why they chose this property
This property is set in a beautiful wooded area surrounded by towering pine trees directly on the shores of Lake Hawkins and we just fell in love with all it has to offer, from a cute and cozy cabin interior to amazing views of the lake to fun activities like water sports, fishing, boating and swimming. We hope you'll book and enjoy it as much as we do!!
What makes this property unique
BEAUTIFUL LAKEFRONT PROPERTY WITH ALL YOU NEED FOR A RELAXING AND ENJOYABLE STAY!! Get away from it all! Come play! Come gather and have a terrific time!
