Lake Escape is located on a bluff overlooking the Lake, it is a STEEP Hill to get down to the house and you MUST follow the driveway and parking instructions to avoid getting stuck! 4 car maximum, any additional parking will need to be at the top of the hill! We are also right under a Verizon Cell Tower and next to the City of Tyler Water intake Station, these 2 structures are visible from the house on either side, but do not obstruct the water views!
This luxury cottage is located on a high bluff overlooking the lake, which has amazing sunset views, however since it is natural shoreline there is no fence or railing on the edge and it’s a BIG DROP OFF to the lake. The lake below is rocky and shallow, this can be dangerous for toddlers or unsupervised children and we do not recommend young children. Any toddlers,children or even teens will need to be monitored at all times!! Private Hot Tub & Dock, with great lakefront access. Deepest part of the lake & great fishing spot. We are in the woods and waterfront, we have chosen to maintain the natural beauty of the land and to help preserve the native Texas look. This allows for more fish and wildlife in the area and creates a Natural Texas Ecosystem. We have a variety of wildlife that visit regularly including Bald Eagles, deer, foxes, rabbits, all kinds of snakes, both venomous and non-venomous, raccoons, roadrunners, all types of texas birds and fish. We also have many insects on the grounds that are native to the woods, including ants, spiders,chiggers,and lakebugs (AKA as Mayflies) They are harmless, but will swarm around lights at night and will swarm inside if the doors are left open. PLEASE do not leave exterior lights on overnight & do not leave doors open. We have regularly scheduled pest control inside the home, but this will not prevent lake bugs from coming inside open doors at night. The spiders are attracted to the Lake bugs, and there will always be some spider webs on the porches and dock, this is normal and natural for Texas Lake life. We are also located near a huge cell tower and the guy wires land on the property. Good thing is Verizon, T-Mobile & AT&T all have great service here:) Also the city of Tyler water intake station is nearby and visible from the back of the property, The driveway is a black top road and is very steep, please drive carefully! This home is on a hill and all the grounds are unlevel. We have a ramp for entry. The back deck has a huge staircase to get down to the fire pit, grill and lake areas. We do not recommend this home for anyone with any type of limited mobility or service animal requirements, there are too many possible hazards! It is great for the adventurous and outdoor types who love amazing views, challenging landscapes and lake access! Please do not sit or climb on the stored boats in the lift. Indulge in our 4-person hot tub overlooking Lake Palestine, all conveniently set on a covered porch with enchanting overhead string lights. Large Private Dock is a great spot for fishing, swimming and watching the beautiful sunsets. If you are planning to bring a boat, PLEASE CHECK WITH US AHEAD OF TIME. We store our personal boats in the boat slips. We may be able to offer a boat slip for an additional fee depending on boat specs & availability. We do not have trailer parking or a boat launch.

Property was beautiful just like in pictures. The house was just outstanding for our family stay. Hostess was quick to respond to any questions we had. Would love to stay there again in the future.
we had our 14th guys weekend and stayed here, we all felt very comfortable in the house, ac works very well, enjoyed going to the dock & its super close to groceries and gas.
Beautiful lakeside home with all the amenities. Decorated for Christmas, complete with Christmas tree. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and time together.
We could not ask for a better vacation, it was perfect for our family. The cousins had a blast together and the younger kids will never forget fishing and swimming in the lake.

Granny Kate Lake Escape
Granny Kate’s Lake Escape hit all the buttons for rest, relaxation and retreat. The comfy beds with lake views made the stay stellar. The hot tub provided great relaxation. Hosts went above and beyond expectations. Highly recommend!!!
Great stay! Communication was amazing and felt very taken care of the entire time! Appreciate the flexibility (we left/lost items and able to get them back!) Beautiful property that is remote but still luxurious! Thanks!
This house has beautiful details, windows with picturesque views to the lake and of the surrounding trees, and is super spacious! There are lots of different areas to relax and hang out…just wish our group could have made our trip longer so we could have enjoyed this house even more!

We appreciate the great review! Thank you for coming.
The house was beautiful with plenty of room when friends and family from the area came to visit. Tried paddle boarding for the first time. The stairs gave us plenty of exercise. We would definitely do this again.
Absolutely loved this property! Would recommend checking in during day time so you can see where you’re driving, but the owners are a phone call away to help out. Other than that we played cornhole and the hot tub was really nice! No complaints!!
Such a beautiful property, nice shaded dock right on the lake, second story bedroom has tons of space and first floor is roomy and comfortable. So many comfy touches, lots of towels, blankets and sleep spaces. Well equipt kitchen and everything we needed for our stay! The hosts were very communicative, helpful and responsive our entire stay. Thank you!
Stay at Granny Kate's Lake Escape Lakefront Luxury Cottage
We arrived later a night however once we arrived we were able to find the cottage thanks to the written directions provided by the owners! Our large group of 12 people had a wonderful stay at this cottage. The house is large and clean, with lots of room. The cottage is directly on a lake, which is very pretty. The owners were quick to responds to requests and concerns. We are grateful for the opportunity to have had the chance to spend the weekend in this pretty cottage!

Our treat to host such a neat, respectful group of people. Seeing all the kid's things neatly around the master was a treat; I thought of the Hansel & Gretel look against the hardwoods. Blessings & thank you for coming!
Our family of 6 spent two nights in this lovely escape. The owners were helpful and responsive, and house was absolutely beautiful! Being set back in the trees high up on a bluff gives the feeling of staying in both a lake house and a tree house at the same time. The sunsets across the lake were breathtaking, and we spotted a bald eagle twice on our visit! The kids enjoyed making s’mores on the fire pit and spending a few hours at the water park down the road. Having a nice grocery store 5 minutes away made for quick and easy provision runs, and our only obstacle was that of a few nerves in the car on the steep slope down to the property. We had a wonderful stay and are already sharing this gem with family and friends so they might come and enjoy it for themselves!

About the host
Hosted by Debra Taylor
We are lifelong East Texans, Kevin and Debra Taylor, we live on another part of the property and we raised our 6 children here. We have been here for over 20 years and love our property. We started with 1 cabin years ago and fell in love with hosting, It has become the perfect thing for us to do together as empty nesters! Over the years we have met many of guests and love hearing each unique travel story! We custom build our Cottages with locally sourced materials and hardwoods. We do the design and custom finish ourselves. We now have 5 custom cottages and our newest luxury Waterfront Cottage with a private dock & Hot tub. We love gardening, new projects, taking walks around the property and watching the sunset over the lake in the evenings!
Why they chose this property
Granny Kate's is named after Kevin's Mom that left us in 12/22. It took almost 2 years to build, finished out by Kevin with locally harvested hardwoods, some off our land. Debra decorated it as she has our other 5 smaller Cottages. We were able to purchase this small piece of waterfront and thought it was the perfect spot to build our future retirement home, overlooking the Lake!
What makes this property unique
This house is one of the prettiest homes on Lake Palestine. Most will appreciate the intricate custom work inside. It has a huge Waterview deck, accessible from both bedrooms on main floor. Kitchen island is built around 175 yr old beams from the Wolford historical site in Athens, TX, it has a mixture of quartz & hickory hardwood cut off our property. The cabinets thru out the home were custom built out of hickory-they are a pleasure to look at.
