Lake Cabin Escapes: Enchanted Cottage

Host awarded with "Tyler Airbnb named No. 1 in Tyler Area for 2018". The Enchanted Cottage, a Rustic/Modern cabin built on a fairly steep slope under a canopy of towering hardwood trees w/ Waterview of Lake Palestine. We custom built w/ local woods: cypress, cedar, white & red oak, & pine. Look for the Bald Eagle on the porch. 0ur theme is interesting places out of classic films. On her first visit, my mother suggested the name from the Classic film-The Enchanted Cottage 1945.

We are 15 minutes from Tyler, but the Cabin is in the woods and Nature is all around, this includes insects, critters of all kinds including snakes, all types of birds including Bald Eagles, roadrunners and songbirds! Be cautious of poison ivy and insects when out exploring!

There is a wild beehive near this cabin, it comes and goes, most active in the Spring. They don’t bother you if you don’t bother them, and we have the area clearly marked! Chiggers are out in the tall grass by May 15th throughout the summer. Advised to use insect repellent when exploring.
We are available by phone or text anytime. We do live nearby and are available if needed, but we do respect the privacy of our guests. We may occasionally be seen farming, walking, or out working on the landscape:) we have 5 cabins total, you may see other guests on the property, but each cabin has its own secluded porch, fire pit area and separate drive. Each space is very private.
The hot tub and deck with outdoor lighting is shared by all 5 cabins. It is centrally located in a wooded area, great outdoor spot to sit in the hot tub and star gaze!
