About this property

Secluded Ranch House with Private 4 Acre Pond

Our Lavender Hill Farm house is perfect for family reunions, ladies retreats, birthdays and more! We are situated on 11 acres with a 4 acre fishing pond and the farmhouse is surrounded by beautiful gardens featuring many roses bushes and lavender. We have a swimming pool, fire pit, 2 paddle boats, 2 kayaks and outdoor games, including a volleyball net, basketball and horseshoes. The grounds include a large vegetable garden, fruit trees and grapevines. Guests are welcome to pick vegetables and herbs, including mint, basil, oregano, thyme and parsley from our garden (seasonal) and we will provide fresh eggs from our chickens which are located on the other side of the pond. Guests may also be able to sample our homemade wine and salsa when available. The house is secluded but on the adjacent property is our managers house and he is available to help with any special needs. Canton First Monday Trade Days in Canton is an easy 20 minute drive as are the towns of Mabank and Terrell. We are about 30 minutes away from three large lakes, but you won't want to leave our house!

Beautiful place, the pictures do not give its beautiful scenery and peaceful vibe it has. I truly want to stay here for a week or two just to enjoy what this place has to offer. The 2 days for me was not long enough. This place is truly a gem! Great place for morning yoga, coffee by the pond and stillness for the mind. Close to grocery stores the lake area etc.. but once you get there you will not want to leave. The pool, hot tub and game room was truly a nice adjuct not to mention corn hole, volleyball , basketball and board games. This place is like a one stop shop for all the enjoy adults of all ages and kids too. All I can say is wow and thank you.

Relaxing Getaway

So much to do! Lots of opportunities to relax and catch up with family members away from city distractions. We viewed lovely sunsets, walked the property while the dogs romped, playing indoor and outdoor games of all types, and this visit we spent a lot of time chilling in the pool and hot tub. Ideal family memory maker!

Great Family Weekend

Convenient local with great country atmosphere. Kids loved the pool and s’mores on the fire pit. First visit to Canton’s First Monday Trade Days for several of us. Only issue - Couldn’t get the pin # to work on the specified entry. But the nearby kitchen door was unlocked.

Beautiful and Quiet

My family and I spent 2019 Father’s Day weekend at Lavender Hill. The house is beautiful and cozy and provided all of the necessities such as appliances, cookware, and dishes. The property is beautifully landscaped, lots of shade trees and a well manicured lawn. The pool is as refreshing and kept the kids occupied for hours. There is a large pond on the property where the little ones only had to drop their line in and seconds later pull out a small fish. The Dad’s were able to pull in 4 catfish with the largest one caught being around 3lbs. He was very feisty and made for a pretty exciting memory for everyone, he was released back into the pond. Overall, Lavender Hill did not disappoint and provided a relaxing and fun weekend for our entire family, ages ranged from 65-6 yrs old. There was something for everyone! We had a wonderful time and look forward to another visit!

This is a great house to spend time with your family or a nice couples retreat. We have done both here. The pond is nice. We had a golden algae problem during this visit bit that is not the norm. I have actually been to this house 3 different times and enjoyed it each time. This time we took the entire family and made memories together. My kids lived within an hour or 2 from the property so it was easy for the kids and grandkids to come and go around their schedules. The fresh fruit was so nice. Several walks were made around the pond to get fresh peaches and nectarines. The tomatoes were also enjoyed by all from the garden. The rooms are lovely and worked out nicely for my family. We all enjoyed the game room. The open living space in the house is awesome. It was so nice to have room for all of us to sit and eat together and share conversation. If you are looking for a nice relaxing vacation to connect with your family, I would definitely recommend Lavender Hill.

Perfect Place

Three families get together every Labor Day weekend and this was our second time to stay here. This is a perfect place for our group as there is so much room and so many great things to do. We've been getting together for 13 years now and this place is our favorite.

Sweet Retreat!

It was unanimously decided by our three generational family of 12 that our stay at Lavender Hill was a BLAST!!! What a pleasant surprise to find a home that was truly stocked for large groups. From the overabundance of towels (both bath and pool) to a fully stocked kitchen with every appliance, pot/pan and utensil you could ever need. What an added bonus to be greeted in the refrigerator with delicious fresh eggs from the chicken coup. Whatever bed you end up with you will not be disappointed as they are all comfortable right down to the bunk beds. The sparkling pool (with tons of pool toys/floats) and the beautiful grounds are extremely well kept. Paddle boating and fishing on the gorgeous pond was definitely a family favorite! From the moment you awake to the serene quietness of the countryside until your head hits your pillow at night from a refreshing swim in the pool or walk of the property, you will never lack for something FUN to do either indoors or out!

Excellent!!

We gathered our family, our children and grandchildren, for an unforgettable week of inside games, outside games, lots of pool time, smores around the fire, paddle boating, barbequing, and so much more. Each day we seemed to discover another attribute of the property. Wonderful opportunity for us all to commune with nature and each other.

Perfect, comfortable, had everything!

We had a family reunion, ages 3-65, total of 14 people. This was a perfect home. Kept the kids off all ages 4-17 entertained. The owners thought of everything. Clean, comfortable, supplied fish food, rods, s'mores for fire pit, pool and hot tub were great! The game room was a bonus. Can't say enough about this house. Simply beautiful and we hope to return. Destine was available if needed.

This is our 2nd stay at this property and they have done a lot of upgrades (modern master bath, new pool furniture, more fun and games in the gameroom). As I said last year, this place has everything for all ages. We are a group of 5 years to 69 years and we all had a great time and plan to return next year.

Perfect retreat

The pictures do not do this beautiful, quaint home justice. It was the perfect place for our end of the season cheer retreat. My team had the best time. We could not think of one single thing that was left out. Every amenity imaginable was available. From paddle boating to horse shoes to ping pong to board games and movies then evenings in the hot tub....there was definitely something for everyone. They have already asked if we can make this an annual tradition! Thank you for a great and wonderful experience. We will be back!

Why they chose this property

We've owned this property since 2009. Our children have grown up coming here on weekends, during the summer and holidays and it has a special piece of our hearts. Once you arrive, you will fall in love with it also. Whether it's a family holiday, girls weekend, or family reunion, everyone will enjoy relaxing and enjoying nature at it's best. Children love exploring and adults love all of the amenities our farm has to offer.

What makes this property unique

We've worked years on our beautiful flower, vegetable and wine gardens. We have a pond stocked with black bass, perch and catfish, and encourage you to catch and feed them. We have a wonderful fire pit where you can sit around and listen to music and roast marshmallows for s'mores (included). Visit the chickens and eat some fresh eggs for breakfast. Chefs will enjoy all of the fresh herbs we have growing by the swimming pool. We have plants that butterflies and bees love, so if you or someone in your party has an allergy to bees, please use extra caution.
