About this cabin rental

This is just the cutest little cabin that was the original homeplace for this property back in 1865. We both love LONESOME DOVE so we named this cabin for GUS. (We built a two bedroom "CLARA'S CABIN" at the other end of the property. Both are very private and have their own sense of a peaceful getaway.)

It has been updated in keeping with respect for both its age and our modern needs. The kitchen boasts a new stainless GE gas stove/oven and a stainless GE fridge. It has a porcelain farm sink and the floors....while not old....are stained to match the old plank flooring in the rest of the house. There is a comfy living room with a fireplace and DirecTV and fantastic stained glass pieces done by widely acclaimed stained glass artist, Pat Williams.

The bedroom has a queen size bed and off this bedroom in the front is a reading room/bunk room with a bunk for ONE extra person...although this little house is more comfortable for one or two people. We can also provide a cot or a Pack N Play if given advance notice that you are bringing a small child.

The bathroom has a slate tile floor and slate tile shower with stained glass in the window of the shower and above the sink. There is a washer and dryer in the event that you need those items. We supply a hair dryer and linens and towels for your needs. We also supply shampoo, soaps, Tide, charcoal for grilling, etc., just like your home. We stock the pantry with condiments and other foodstuffs for your use.

There is a lovely patio in the back with a couple of tables and chairs and patio furniture with an umbrella. We have a hot tub (PLEASE...NO LOTIONS AT ALL ON YOUR BODIES IN THE HOT TUB.) There is a fire pit for your enjoyment and we generally have wood out there for it. . There is also a propane fired grill for your outdoor cookouts!

Whatever you would like to use at the Little House, please feel free to do so.
AND....if you love fresh farm eggs feel free to go into the chicken coop and get some fresh eggs and in the garden behind the little chicken coop, you can pluck some fresh veggies whenever the garden yields its crops.

Our newest dog addition, Lilly the blue eyed husky, will usually camp out under the Little House just to keep cool.

It is just a lovely little cabin. Please enjoy yourself! You can text me at 936-645-6101

This cabin provided a fantastic getaway for my wife and I. Our first trip to Nacogdoches, and the property was out in the country for quiet, but close enough to town to enjoy the annual Blueberry Festival and enjoy some of the history of the town and my ancestry. Very highly recommended!
