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!

Perfect Lake Getaway
My husband and I stayed here for a few days and it was amazing. The cabin has a full kitchen and has all the kitchen utensils/gadgets you need. It rained a bit while we were there but sitting under the tin roof patio watching the rain roll across the water was simply wonderful. The scenery was beautiful and watching the squirrels, birds and deer was so peaceful. The dock has a cano, kayaks and indoor seating. The water is clear and there were 3-4 pound bass swimming under the dock. The cell service isn't great and the Wi-Fi is okay but we weren't bothered by it since we wanted the quiet. There are board games and DVDs along with some streaming services. We will do this again!

Relaxing Getaway
We had a lovely 3-night stay. The cottage was cozy and clean. The bed was very comfortable - soft, but not too soft. Pillows were great. Enjoyed a bonfire and smores at night; coffee and turtle watching from the boathouse dock at sunrise. We had a perfect view of the eclipse from the dock. Luckily, the rain clouds held off until after totality. Internet connection was strong and supported multiple devices. We were also able to smoothly stream movies in the evening, even with a thunderstorm raging. Owner was very flexible, and communication was unobtrusive and informative. Would definitely stay again if we ever get back down this way. Can't say enough good things about our stay. Very beautiful and peaceful.

Just right
it is the perfect getaway for my wife and I. We did all the things we like to do. Read, go on walks-around the lake, fish out on the dock, and centrally located to Mineola and Gladewater-places we like to antique. Not to mention a 10 minute walk to the best Italian restaurant we've ever eaten at- Taste of Italy. Will definitely be back!

This is a great location on the lake. We really enjoyed using the kayaks and fising from the dock. The lake area is incredibly quiet. Communicating with the owners was a breeze. We are coming back as soon as our schedules allow.

Quick trip to Hawkins
Our stay was shorter than expected but still great. Clear instructions, great owner communication, property as advertised with lots of extras for activities. We got in a little late and did not want to leave to get food, and there was a great family owned Italian restaurant in the community. Seating on the water, great food and byob. Looking forward to going back when i can spend a little more time and really enjoy the dock.

A FAVORITE OF OURS!!
This cabin is a favorite as the owners take great care to make your stay wonderful. It is very clean and has all the amenities you need to be comfortable. Rain or shine it is relaxing and peaceful. Great for couples, families, or girls weekend. The dock and fire pit area are perfect for small gatherings. Very nice to have items to use on the lake without added fees! Owners are also fantastic at giving you area information if you’d like to explore. Wonderful communication. This is a go to cabin so definitely will stay again!

Great Little Lakeside Getaway!
Perfect little cabin for my husband and myself! We enjoyed sitting on the porch and dock. Wood was stacked and ready for a fire in both the fire pit and the wood stove inside the dock house. Owner made sure to have the personal touches of home including blankets draped and pillows on the outside furniture for the cool evenings. Highly recommend! Great communication with the owner.

Very happy with this property and ease of checkin with the owner! The home and even the boathouse were spotless! Just cross street and you are on the perfect dock for fishing. Porch was good size, home was perfect for the two of us. The decor was fun with lots of cool antiques and quaint memorabilia! Highly recommend!

Great place to get away to
If you're wanting to get away from it all, this is the place. The property is well kept, the cabin itself is clean and expertly decorated inside with the fishing and woodsey wildlife theme. It is spacious enough for a couple or a small family. The outdoors are interesting with lots of tree species, birds, and squirrels .... and a few geckos running around. The cabin sits about 50 yds. from the lakefront. A short walk across the community road and you're at the dock/boathouse. The cabin faces mostly east and the sunrise across the lake is outstanding. There's a firepit for you nearby, chairs and a gilder swing on the dock. We didn't make use of the kayaks, canoe, or bikes ... but they all look to be in great shape. If you're coming to fish, there's not much action off the dock, so you might want to rent a boat or bring your own to get out into the deeper open water. The water is clear and there's lots of underwater vegetation around the docks and shorelines.....and there's also a lot of water turtles to compete with if you're trying fish with bait. A quick Google search of Lake Hawkins will tell you most details regarding the lake itself. Overall, we had good relaxing few days away from home and would reccomend this property to you, if you too just need to get away and decompress for a little while.

The pictures on line really don't do it justice. Over the top attention to detail and comfort. We found it very clean and super inviting. The kind of place you can just park, unload and relax. We had a few questions prior to our arrival and the hosts replied almost immediately. Make sure to put out their bird seed and sit back on the porch and watch!!

We had a great time here! Everything was perfect! The owners did a great job cleaning and setting everything up so there was nothing to do but relax! The lake is beautiful and the water is very clear. We spent the whole weekend either fishing on the dock or swimming at the beach (which is also amazing)! We will be back!
