About this property

Vintage Cottage on Lake!<br>Fish Camp Cabin<br>FREE kayak, canoe & bike use!<br>

2024-Two new electric recliners and a new sofa sleeper with memory foam pad for groups of four!
Warm days and cool nights make for a cozy evening by the fire pit counting the stars. This quaint, fully-furnished lakefront cottage is perfect for family vacations, guy's fishing retreats, girl's getaways, a couple of couples or a romantic getaway with your honey. Overlooking one of the clearest, spring-fed lakes in Texas (the same aquifer that Ozarka and Nestle gets their spring water feeds Lake Hawkins), this 1-bedroom, 1 bath has everything you need to get outta town and forget about the 'real world' for a while. The bedroom, with a Queen-size bed and the Queen-size sleeper sofa in the living area can accomodate a small family or 2 couples. Watch the sun rise over the lake from the deck as you're enjoying your morning coffee. Enjoy our screened-in dockhouse, private boat dock for securing your boat, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, sun-bathing and lots of room to play, walk, run, cycle around the lake or just chill. A public beach at Lake Hawkins County Park is down the road, just a few minutes away. You’ll want “our place” to be your “your place” for your next intimate getaway. We are away from the crowds but closely connected with WiFi, WiFi calling, Roku and Alexa.

We have several outstanding restaurants in our area. Red Rooster Icehouse, Taste of Italy on the Lake and Circle M Crawfish are three of our favorites.

We're 100 miles east of Dallas, 100 miles west of Shreveport, 35 miles north of Tyler and within minutes of Mineola, Gladewater and Jefferson with scores of antique shops, lakes, wineries and some of the best fishing, boating, bicycling and motorcycle riding in the country! Lake Fork, Lake of the Pines, Lake Palestine, Lake Holbrook, Lake Winnsoro, Lake Gilmer, Lake Quitman are just minutes away. So spend a weekend on beautiful Lake Hawkins or spend a week and fish them all!

Lake Trip

I had a truly wonderful weekend that was filled with joy and relaxation. One of the highlights was the breathtaking view of the lake, which was nothing short of magnificent. The shimmering water stretched out before us, reflecting the vibrant colors of the sky, and the surrounding landscape added to the serene atmosphere. It was a perfect setting to unwind, take in the beauty of nature, and appreciate the tranquility that the lake provided.

Perfect Getaway

We enjoyed our getaway here so much! The cabin was the perfect size for the 3 of us, and the decor was just amazing. We were there during Spring Break and the weather was perfect. A bit too cold to catch fish from the dock, nonetheless we had a great time on the kayaks! We will be back! The Italian restaurant was delicious!Thank you! everywith every

Anniversary weekend, clean and cozy cabin

We enjoyed a quick anniversary trip to this cozy and clean cabin. The rain and wind kept us indoors more than we hoped but the owners have stocked everything from utensils to a wide variety of games and movies for indoor entertainment. My husband I enjoyed canoeing and fishing, sitting on the front porch and walking around the quiet peaceful lake. Host are easy to communicate with and provide a personalized experience.

This I a great weekend getaway!! We took our two young kids (3 and6) and dog for the weekend and loved this place. The cabin was very comfortable and had anything we might need. The enclosed room on the fishing dock was set up perfectly for all seasons. Took kids out on the kayaks and swap from the dock as well.

About the host

Hosted by Chuck and DeLisa Riley

Host profile image
What do an Aggie and a science teacher have in common? A love and appreciation of nature. We are excited owners who want to provide you with a step back in time. A stay in a vintage cabin, at the base of a stand of pines, on a pristine lake. Sounds like our kind of place and we want to share that with you.

Why they chose this property

Cozy, vintage, clean!
What more would you want?
Singing birds, scampering squirrels and the breezes whistling through the pines.
More? His and her bikes, fishing kayaks and a canoe all free of charge.
Enjoy a sunrise view from your private pier. Or, jump in for a cooling swim and finish with snacks in your screened in cabana.
Crappie and Bass will fear you as you fish from the pier or 11’, 300 lb limit kayaks. Or, simply tour the lake and soak in the rays aboard one of the two kayaks or share the rowing in the canoe Not enough fun? Jump on a ladies pearl pink Panama Jack bike or men’s black Schwinn bike and ride part or all of the 10 mile waterfront oil top road around the lake. Stop off at the beach area $3/person for a sandy roped off swim.
End the evening with a cookout on the grill, s’mores in the fire pit or treat yourself to the “Taste of Italy” waterfront restaurant 1/2 mile away. The owners are from Macedonia and prepare authentic Southeastern European cuisine complete with homemade rolls and Cannolis for dessert. Bring your own wine.
