About this property

The Zane Gray Cabin on 7 wooded acre private retreat near Lake Texoma

Located only a few minutes away from Lake Texoma, this updated cabin has two large shaded decks, open living area with TV, and two upstairs bedrooms. Nestled in between mature oak trees on seven acres , the cabin offers a private and peaceful getaway right next to working horse ranches.

The back area has a patio with a large picnic table and gas grill, horseshoe pit, fire pit, outdoor shower, and a pond. Ideally located for biking country roads, boating on Lake Texoma, or hiking. There are maintained hiking trails that tunnel through the trees, right next to working horse ranches. Perfect for small families or couples looking to relax and get away from it all.

The space

Located at the end of a private road, our seven acres of woods is a perfect location for relaxing or exploring the outdoors around Lake Texoma. The A-frame design is surrounded by large oak trees that shade the decks in the warmer months, and lots of windows to look out on the woods.

The kitchen is fully equipped with new non-stick cookware and utensils, as well as basic spices and condiments for you to prepare your own food. We also supply K-Cups and an assortment of tea. There is a gas grillon the back patio, as well as a cooking grill on the fire ring, you can cook up your steaks while enjoying a dramatic sunset.

The property itself has groomed walking trails that tunnel through the woods, a fire pit with log seats, and a small pond with one bass. Below the deck there is a small concrete patio where the grill is located. There are two grassy areas for perfect playing catch or football during the day or stargazing at night.

In the morning, you can watch the horses feed on the ranch next door from the rear deck, and check out the different birds, including cardinals, woodpeckers, roadrunners, hawks, and occasionally a wild peacock.

Hikers and bikers will find miles of trails and empty country roads, both dirt and paved, for exploration. For bicyclists, there are fully shaded roads and historic cowboy cemeteries from the mid 1800 s nearby, as well as challenging hills and trails for mountain bikers. Hikers are just a few miles away from the 13 mile Cross Timbers trail that wind through wooded hills with dramatic views of Lake Texoma.

Boaters can access four different marinas nearby to rent or launch a boat, and there are numerous kayaking spots on both Lake Texoma and the Red River. There is also a lavender farm and MegaStar casino located within a 15 minute drive. Country singer Blake Shelton’s bar in Tishomingo is less than one hour drive away. For lakeside dining, you are a few minutes drive from Cedar Mills Marina, which has a great restaurant overlooking the lake.

Only an hour away from Dallas, this property lets you feel like you are on your own private ranch to relax and enjoy nature - while still being close to lots of fun activities in the Red River and Lake Texoma area.

Guests have access to the full seven acres which includes walking trails cut through the woods and the pond. The trails total about 1/3 mile and connect to each other through different parts of the woods. Because the road is a private road shared with only a few neighbors, it makes a great walking path as well.

There is a covered parking spot with a metal roof, but the main parking area is a shaded area directly in front of the cabin that can park about three cars.

Interaction with guests
We are located nearby but the property is setup for self check-in with the video door bell and smart lock.

I am also available via phone or text if you have any questions. We have explored, hiked, kayaked, and been ATVing around much of the Lake Texoma and Red River area nearby, so feel free to reach out if you are looking for any specific types of adventures. These are detailed in the cabin guide that is emailed to you once your reservation is confirmed.

Other things to note

The grassy areas of the cabin offer amazing star-gazing at night, since there are very few lights nearby. Next door to the west are two horse ranches whose four legged residents often feed along the fence line in the morning. There are also nightly concerts by coyotes, and an armadillo that likes to look for bugs after dark. During the summer months the sound of tree frogs will fill the night.

Great place!
If you want a place in the country that is close to a few restaurants, close to Lake Texoma, and close to Winstar, this is your place. The owner checked in via text messages to make sure everything was OK and to see if we needed anything. There were even freshly baked brownies upon our arrival.

Peaceful getaway
What a relaxing get away. I loved drinking my coffee on the tree swing. The porch and lighting around it added a nice touch at night. They really did think of everything we needed for our stay. They even made brownies and had a bowl a chocolate waiting for us.

Nice property
The property was very nice with the trees and walking trail. We were a little disappointed in the cabin. It was older than expected and could really use a good coat of paint or two. However it was very helpful to have labeled cupboards and drawers and the owners had a lot of extra touches there to make our stay easy and comfortable. The owners were very thoughtful when they left a bottle of wine and brownies for our stay. The communication with the owner was great!!

About the host

Hosted by Bob & Nancy

Host profile image
This was our weekend cabin that we remodeled and want to share it with others. We liked the area so much we moved from Frisco Texas to enjoy the ranching lifestyle.

Why they chose this property

This is one of the few properties in the area with a private road shared by only a few other neighbors. Located next to working horse and cattle ranches, it is a relaxing setting with lots of peace and quiet - without feeling like you're in the middle of nowhere.

What makes this property unique

Located at the end of a private road, the property has stunning sunrises and sunsets that can be viewed from the front and rear decks, and has recently been updated with Starlink internet, upgraded kitchen and bathroom. On a clear night you can see millions of stars.
