Romantic Getaway at MoonRiver Lake Cabin Escapes

One of our larger cottages, Moonriver, namesake…Debra's favorite Audrey Hepburn film-Breakfast At Tiffany's . Enjoy the large tin roof covered by a canopy of hardwoods. Cottage was built with handpicked & aged woods including red oak flooring thru-out. Full kitchen with granite counter, comfy living area w/ cedar ceiling, oak staircase to loft BR with King Bed. Catwalk from the bed to scenic views. Full bathroom. Outdoor seating & grill. Access to Lake Palestine. Hot tub on property!

The Tinyhouse Cabin is perfect for romantic getaways. What makes it unique is the compact luxury/roughness. Come see to understand. It is ideal for couples, but can accommodate a small family. It is a small space for more than 2 adults. Due to the nature of our construction and owner having severe skin allergies we have a strict no pet policy! We do all the laundry an cleaning ourselves and CANNOT accommodate animals of any kind. Please respect our health and do not ask for exceptions.
Cable TV and ground internet are not available here in the woods. We do have limited Jet pack Wi-Fi for use as a hot spot.
Come to unplug and enjoy the Romance, Nature, and Beautiful Outdoors!
This is not the best spot for TV and streaming:)
New little fishing dock with access to Lake Palestine for all our cabin guests, great spot to watch the sunset or the passing boats:) It is a walk to the lake access spots, but we have trail markers along the way!
Hot Tub on property and within walking distance to the cabin.

Trails to Lake Palestine, it is a natural shoreline, no beach area and swimming and fishing are at your own risk. We have a couple of natural ponds on the property and an Artesian Outdoor Cold Bath for a refreshing 70 degree col water soak! Guests are welcome to explore the pond area, get in the cold water outdoor bath , but we ask that you do not fish from the ponds at this time, we are still developing this area!
The shared hot tub is for use by all of our adult guests.
Disc Golf Course on the property for all guests to enjoy. Somewhat difficult course and found on UDisc at lakecabinescape in Flint, TX . Bring your own Disc!
