Little Reata at Lake Cabin Escapes w/ firepit

"Tyler airbnb named No. 1 in Tyler Area for 2018". Custom built Cabin tucked away on our East Texas Farm peeking out over beautiful Lake Palestine. We combined a unique assortment of refurbished wood to give our new cabin that cozy farm feel. It's a peaceful place to get away and refresh! Has a full kitchen with range/oven. Keeping with our Classic Movie theme, Little Reata got it's name from the Epic film "Giant", starring Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor & James Dean.
Hot tub on property

The cabin has a couch below that makes into a full bed. There are extra linens provided in the couch.
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. It is a small space for more than 2 adults. Due to the nature of our construction and owner having severe skin allergies we have a strict no pet policy! We do all the laundry and most of the cleaning ourselves and CANNOT accommodate animals of any kind. Please respect our health and do not ask for exceptions.
Cable TV and ground internet are not available here in the woods. We have Limited jet pack Wi-Fi available. Come to unplug and enjoy the Romance, Nature and Beautiful outdoors!
Not the best place for TV or streaming:)

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 cold 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!
