### FAVORITE GUEST MOMENTS

Some of our favorite memories are the ones guests tell us about after they leave.

Watching a child catch their very first fish.

Enjoying coffee on the porch as the morning mist rises off the pond.

Sharing a slow dinner beneath the pergola with nothing but the pond and pine forest around you.

Spending hours together around the firepit without anyone looking at their phone.

Seeing the Moon through a telescope beneath a dark East Texas sky.

Ending the evening beneath the stars in the hot tub.

Many guests tell us they’re surprised by how little they want to leave once they arrive. Between the pond, trails, hot tub, pergola and outdoor kitchen, coffee bar, stargazing, and complete privacy, there’s plenty here to fill a stay without ever feeling busy.
