Trails to Lake Palestine, it is a natural shoreline, no beach area and swimming and fishing are at your own risk. We have a couple of natural ponds on the property and an Artesian Outdoor Cold Bath for a refreshing 70 degree col water soak! Guests are welcome to explore the pond area, get in the cold water outdoor bath , but we ask that you do not fish from the ponds at this time, we are still developing this area!
The shared hot tub is for use by all of our adult guests.
Disc Golf Course on the property for all guests to enjoy. Somewhat difficult course and found on UDisc at lakecabinescape in Flint, TX . Bring your own Disc!
Our cabins are built for exploring the outdoors, not the best place for indoor movie watchers:) limited internet availability
So come sit on the front porch and enjoy the view or build a campfire and enjoy the stars!!
Parking is right at the cabin.

Walk down to the lake bluff and watch the sunset! You can explore the trails around our property. Walk over to the community hot tub for an evening soak. Or just stay on the private porch sipping coffee and looking for bald eagles on the lake! The large private fire pit area is a great spot to Stargaze and watch the sunset through the trees!
The Cabin is perfect for romantic getaways. What makes it unique is the compact luxury/roughness. Come see to understand. It is ideal for couples, but can accommodate a small family. We have a fun outdoor game area near this cabin for our guests to enjoy outdoor games with a view of the Lake!

Enjoyable Stay
This was a nice place to stay. It had all the things offered mentioned in the description. The stairs to the loft are very narrow and steep, which was mentioned to us beforehand, but be aware. I wish they had stair treads on them but I am clumsy. ha ha Otherwise fine place to stay. Air is very cool inside. My only wish? We were in town for a wedding and there is not any place to hang nice items, suits and dresses, upstairs in the loft . But this is not really the place where most people might stay for a wedding weekend. It is more for Rustic activities, outdoor adventures and hanging out casually. Nice communication with hosts when needed. Thank you for sharing your Cabin.

Perfect escape
This was definitely a much needed escape from the loud and busy city. Perfect for unwinding and just decompressing.
