Make a cup of coffee and sit in the screened covered porch, work on your computer with our wireless WiFi and watch the wildlife and livestock all around you or just gaze at the lake. At night watch Netflix on the flatscreen TV in the living room We are not set up for parties or events but offer a place to unplug from the city, to enjoy the peace and relaxation that comes from a true county place. Lodging price includes bank and dock fishing. If you would like to lease the whole lake with two boats it is $60.00/ day /boat- you can decide when you come!. We are a catch and release anything over 15 inches - under, take it home and fry it!! We have enjoyed guests coming for many years as we were affiliated with a private fishing club. Many of our guests have returned each year! As we are working ranchers' we go to bed early 9:30-10 PM so please get pre-approval earlier or be patient and wait til morning!! We hope to meet you soon!

Despite the stormy weather

Andrew and I couldn't possibly be handled better under loss of power. Quickly we had lights and A/C, fruit from the garden, bacon, and eggs. Loved the cows just on the other side of the fence. We'll be back.

Relaxing, wine and stars

We love Melody’s Acres BnB, away from city lights and noise. This is our 4th stay, hunting for stars, galaxies and nebulae in the dark skies of Crockett, TX Perfect for stargazers in Houston area, the cabin is equipped with all you need but you also have good options for dinner 15 minutes away, Lindo Guanajuato is very close and have best street tacos and enchiladas verdes.

Great Place for bass fishing

The owners are working on upgrading their two boats and this is the only reason I gave them 4 stars instead of 5. I love the place and will be going back for sure.

Time to relax and stargazing

Perfect site for stargazers and astrophotography, secluded cabin with minimum light pollution from large cities, yet close enough to Houston, TX so travel is rather short. Cabin is clean and cozy, quiet away from road noise. I captured Eagle Nebula and Omega Nebula images with my camera and telescope, amazing! Bring your telescope or binoculars to enjoy a starry night in safe quiet place.

Peaceful Retreat

Very peaceful environment w/ beautiful scenery (just what we were looking for). Our adult daughter is handicapped; however, she was at least able to walk over to see the calves across the drive from the house (she can only walk for short distances) & watch the cows in the field from the screened porch (she loved swinging on the porch while enjoying the view). A goose family kept us company while fishing :) Hosts are very friendly and accommodating!! Beds are very comfortable. The only downside was that livingroom furniture is somewhat worn. Overall- very relaxing! :) Definitely would recommend!

Great experience. Clean, well appointed and comfortable. Hosts were exceptional. Extras such as farm fresh eggs, vegetables and home grown beef. Fishing on the private lake was second to none. Will definitely be returning.

AMAZING PLACE TO STAY!!!

My family and I needed a getaway & we are so happy we found this place! It was so beautiful & quiet! It was amazing to see the stars at night! My husband & son loved going out on the boats to fish! Patricia & Yurri were AMAZING! Fresh farm eggs and sausage waiting for us when we arrive made it perfect for breakfast on our first morning!! We got to get a tour of the farm & try different things out of their garden! My son hasn’t tried that many fruits or veggies...EVER! We purchased fresh steak and pork chops from them & they were AMAZING!!! We can not wait to go back again!! Lots of room and the screened in porch was a great way to listen to the rain and get the breeze without getting wet! Thank you so much for treating us like family!

Spring Break in Piney Woods

Our family loves hiking, fishing and farm animals, so as soon as I saw this property, I couldn't get it out of my head. And I'm so glad we picked it! We have two kids and stayed for three nights. The first night we fished for crappie (caught a few off the dock!) and grilled fajitas. The second day we hiked around the beautiful Mission Tejas State Park, saw forests, found the oldest tree in the park and El Camino Real from the 1600's, and my daughter loved the playground and the old church. Our third day we got to tour the farm, and we all loved seeing the animals and learning more about all the trees, puppies, greenhouses, pigs, sheep and everything out there. My son was amazed at the lemon tree. My daughter wanted to stay longer! We fished for bass off the dock and all caught at least one! My husband caught a 5 pound bass! We enjoyed some beef hamburgers and honey from the farm. We are thankful to have found a place where our children can learn a little more about how animals are raised, how food is grown, and what it feels like to reel in a fish! The setting is amazingly peaceful. The house is not modern, in fact I think my grandma had the exact same cabinet fixtures, oven, stove, and bathroom counters. Pulling those cabinets open was a sweet nostalgic moment for me. We loved eating meals on the porch. The change of scenery and beautiful trees was just what we were looking for.

Lovely place to decompress

This wonderful little place is such a jewel. Secluded yet close to essentials. This wonderful place is on a working farm and has animals all around. We did not try the fishing, as it was rainy, but everything else was wonderful. The tour was eye opening and fun. We will be returning during spring/summer to try the fishing!

City folk visit the country- Amazingly wonderful time!

Ran across Melody’s Bed & Catch Your Breakfast while searching for alternative to boring hotel accommodations for a family Polar Express train ride in Palestine TX. Myself, wife, daughter, son-in-law, and grandkids (2.5 and 5.5 years) arrived Saturday evening. The two BR house was perfect for us. Exceptionally clean. Ms. Patricia dropped by some free range chicken eggs and filled us in on farm operation and a little of her history. Everything we needed was in the house. After Polar Express on Sunday Ms. Patricia and Isauro showed the grandkids cows, goats, pigs and piglets (1 week old), garden and told us about fishing in lake. Isauro showed the boys the farm tractor and equipment. Firewood was already by the fire pit, we built a fire and introduced the boys to S’mores. We had a terrific learning experience by the most kind and generous couple. We will definitely go back in the Spring and will continue to build family memories here.

Fantastic place to isolate

We had a pond to fish for ourselves. The place is clean, good AC And set for relaxation. We really enjoyed the pond and the fishing was great. Use of the two little boats with troll motors was perfect for the size of the pond. We fished and everyone caught fish. I think 4 of us six caught a personal best or close to it. We are looking to come back in the fall. Our hosts were so gracious they had fresh farm eggs and even charcoal for the grill. We could not have isolated at better place, !

Melody's: An ideal location in the Piney Woods!

My family really enjoyed our stay at Melody's Bed and Catch Your Breakfast. It was peaceful and relaxing in a beautiful country setting. My husband and son shared quality time while fishing at the lake where they caught a lot of fish. My daughter and I loved the screened-in patio and swing. Patti and Isauro were the most gracious hosts. The fresh eggs and garden veggies were a treat. We are already looking forward to coming back to this serene setting. It is perfect for a family getaway!

My 5 sisters and I stayed with Patti and Ira for a week. One of the most enjoyable vacations we have had. We have had weekly trips for 21 years and never have we had such awesome hosts. They did more than normal to make us comfortable. Their working farm was fun, the walks on country roads were fun, and the home was comfortable. The hosts made us feel like relatives visiting. We are considering this place for next year and we have never stayed at the same place. Wonderful vacation, so peaceful.

Awesome Getaway with a Great Host

My kids and I stayed here for 2-nights with friends, who also have kids. It's our first time share a cabin with friends, let alone inside a "working" ranch, so we were not sure what to expect going in. But once get in touch with the host, Ms. Patti, the whole thing started and end up to be the awesome mini-vacation we all had in a long time. Without going into too much details, I'm going to say, the place is as advertised. The kitchen is fully stocked, the close-encounters with the farm animals are awesome (even with the smell :-), the eggs & the fresh veggies were amazing (best radish per my friend), and the beef was super tender and succulent. We had best tasted steak, even with our amateur BBQ skills! The whole time the host was very attentive and patient, even though I'm sure they are not short of to-do list from their farm-work :-) but everyone loved talking to them, & we all had dinner together at the patio in the cabin the last night. Ms. Patti is the smartest and most hard-working people I am privileged to meet, and thank you for make the whole getaway such a memorable experiment. Lastly, as someone who never been to the area, I learned East Texas is beautiful with the tall trees and the meandering country road (very clean). Our group also loved the day-trip to the adjacent forest park. It has beautiful trail, & the lake seems nice enough to deserve a visit back during summer :-)

A breath of fresh air!!!

What an awesome place to escape the city and get to experience country living. From the fresh farm eggs, to the beautiful lake, or the awesome country starry nights, our time at Melody Acres was one to remember. Our kids had a blast seeing farm animals, including getting to hold 2 newborn lambs. We loved fishing at the lake on the property, and the house was just right for our family. Patti really went above and beyond to make our family feel at home. We will definitely be coming back.

Why they chose this property

East Texas is gorgeous! Trees, hills, wildlife., fishing.. peace.
We are less than 15 minutes to town with all it's amenities.... yes we have a Walmart and many restaurants. Lots of antique and junking stores as well! There is a drive-in animal park 20 minutes away and the train station in Palestine is 45 minutes. Come and join us and unwind from city life where kids actually go outside and play!!! Check with us first if you want to bring a dog, there is a pet fee of $65/ pet

What makes this property unique

Peace from the " rat race" New experiences and education about where food comes from and the most nutritious way of producing it. Don't want to fish?? How "bout sitting on the covered dock to read and watch the birds.....
The house has a lodge feel inside with lots of wood and a fishing theme. The lodge is a fully furnished, very comfortable home with wireless WiFi- just bring your food! Fresh pasture eggs are provided . USDA inspected beef and pork farm meats are available as well as vegetables from our gardens! We have most everything you will need and if we don't, just ask!!
