About this property

Peaceful cabin in the National Forest

Quiet cabin in the piney woods of the Davy Crockett National Forest. 400 sq. ft. with all the comforts located on 12 acres. Come and enjoy our piece of the piney woods, the kitchen garden, and our lifestyle away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

More information
The space

Relax with a nature/wildlife, and bird watching or take long walks around the property or into the National Forest.

The cabin is located 3 miles from Ratcliff Recreation Area for more great hiking trails, lake swimming, fishing and kayaking.

There is room for boat parking. Houston County Lake is 30 miles west, Lake Nacogdoches is 40 miles northeast, and Lake Sam Rayburn is 46 miles west.

Walking distance to hunting within the National Forest.

The cabin includes a queen-size bed, bathroom with shower, recliners, 7.5 cu ft apartment-size refrigerator/freezer, coffee station, 7-gallon water heater, full-size stove with overhead large microwave. The kitchen is stocked with cookware, dishes, flatware, etc.

Wi-Fi and a smart TV (no cable/satellite) available to use with your personal Hulu/Amazon information. Included is a Netflix account.

Twin air mattress available upon request to accommodate an additional 1-2 people. Linens and complimentary toiletries provided.

Lufkin is 30 miles away with plenty of shopping and restaurants. The Ellen Trout Zoo, Texas Forestry Museum, Narajo Museum-Natural History, and Kiwanis Park are a few of the favorites.

Nacogdoches, self-proclaimed the oldest town in Texas, is home of Stephen F Austin State University. Along with the many historical houses, the downtown area is full of charming little shops. The calendar is full of events such as the Azalea Trail, Blueberry Festival, Pineywoods Fair, and many more.

Beautiful Location, Cute Cabin
My boyfriend and I came back for the second time, and it was great again! They have everything you need for basic cooking and an insane DVD collection. Ratliff Lake is 5-10 minutes away, and there’s some nice hiking and fishing there. Definitely bring bug spray! The owners are also very responsive and sweet. Highly recommend!

Relaxing Getaway
For the price, this cabin truly can’t be beat. The hospitality and cleanliness were unparalleled. It was very cold when we went, but the cabin still stayed pretty warm. The cabin had a nice little kitchen with enough tools and spices to cook most basic recipes. We definitely want to come back!

Cute cabin
Everything was clean, cute and comfortable. Owners were helpful. Only thing is that it is right across from and faces the owners home which i didnt realize. Other than that, great stay!

Stayed here for our honeymoon! Its 20 minutes from a town, secluded, quite, just peaceful. The owners are on the property but so kind and give you privacy. They have 2 beautiful, sweet dogs. The house was clean and had everything you would need! Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Eric & Alice Whitehouse

Host profile image
Getting out of the Houston metro area and into nature was our focus when we found this land. It is a work in progress that we enjoy. We enjoy fishing and the outdoors. Also, gardening, canning, and baking when we aren't traveling. Our favorite designation is Maine.

Presently we have two border collies and we can count the wildlife that routinely comes through the property. We have a red tail hawk that guards the garden. Deer come through twice a day. They like to hang close to the edge of the woods.

We have found over the years that staying where you have the opportunity to cook your own meals, get a good night sleep, relax and unwind makes for a great trip.

We appreciate you coming and hope your stay is pleasant.
