Relax in style! Take a break at our beautifully appointed Treehouse in East Texas. Treehouse is located in a forested section of a 300 acre ranch. It's a cozy getaway with a queen bed, sitting area, full kitchen and bath with commanding views of the 8 acre lake below. Situated on the second floor of the owner's detached carriage house, Treehouse offers has a deck where guests can sit and take in spectacular views of the lake. It features an abundance of windows opening to the surrounding woods and hence, the treehouse feel. Accommodations at Treehouse are first class and include luxury bedding with Egyptian cotton sheets. Satellite TV with DVD library and a DSL hook-up let you reconnect with the world outside if desired.

A picnic table and gas grill on a large dock out in the lake and make for a wonderful dining experience just a short walk from Treehouse. Guests can hike and picnic throughout the 300 acre ranch. Three large stocked private lakes provide great fishing.

A VERY BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO STAY, AND QUIET!

Review Submitted: September 9, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
The Tree House was WONDERFUL! My husband Jerry and I stayed there the weekend of July 15-17. We had a wonderful time. It was our weekend getaway from the kiddos! Ms.Paula and Mr.Jim are the most nicest, and caring people. Ms.Paula took the time to look at my photos that I took of the ranch. She loved them! Jerry and I needed that time alone. I am from Tyler,Tx....born and raised. I now live in Ft.Worth,Tx(Benbrook). It was so very nice to return back to my "roots" again. We plan on bringing our kiddos up to stay in the new house. Ms.Paula gave us a tour of it, while it was being built. Oh....don't forget to get some fresh eggs, they are wonderful! Thanks so much Ms.Paula and Mr.Jim for a trip of a lifetime. See you in October, and at the Ft.Worth Stockshow!

So peaceful and romantic

Review Submitted: August 16, 2011 Date of Stay: August 2011
We stayed at the Treehouse for our 16yr anniversary, and we were so plesantly supprised at what we saw when we drove up. It was absolutely beautiful, with a view of the lake through the tall pine trees. The ivy growing on the nearby trees and the huge elephant ears in the garden, it really set the mood. The pictures really did not capture the true feeling of peace and comfort you feel when you arrive. The stairway leading up to the door to the treehouse was lined with christmas lights, and that also was a nice touch, espically at night. The room was so clean and the decor was so much more elegant than the pics reveal. It really was like a cozy little house in the trees, the view of the garden on the side and the view of the lake and countryside was perfect. I am not what you would call a "country girl" but I really felt at home here and adventurous in a way. I even went out on the little boat with my husband and fished. He was very impressed, and I caught the two biggest fish of the stay. The privacy was also much more than we expected, with it being a guest ranch. It was like we were the only two people in the world. I would suggest the treehouse to anyone who wants to connect with eachother without the distractions of everyday life. But you aren't completely disconnected from the outside world, there is a dsl connection that was very helpful for us, because our cell phone service did not reach in that area, so we stayed in touch with our kids by email. We also got to pet baby goats, they were adorable. The kitchenette was perfect, I am a cook and there was really anything you would need right there. We did drive into Pittsburg, only a short 7 minute drive, to the grocery store to buy food and drinks. The tap water was great, so dont waste your time buying bottled water. This was probably the most affordable anniversary getaway we have had in 16 years and deffinately one of our most memorable. We plan to come back in the fall when the leaves are turning with our kids and stay in the pine grove cottage.

Perfect Getaway Spot!

Review Submitted: June 5, 2011 Date of Stay: May 2011
My husband and I recently stayed in the Treehouse over the Memorial Day Weekend. The Treehouse is absolutely perfect for a couple wanting to relax, do a little fishing, enjoy beautiful scenery, and sleep in one of the best bed's we have ever slept in! Paula and Jim have a fantastic ranch and are so wonderful to share it with the rest of us. Everything is provided (even goodies to munch on) and the nearby towns of Winnsboro, Pittsburgh, and Mt. Pleasant are close enough to enjoy day trips. We visited the Los Pinos Winery for a sampling of great wines and delicious food. (open Fri-Sun.)and Efurd's Orchard (open all year) for peaches and other delicacies. Brewbaker's in Winnsboro was a great suggestion by Paula and Jim for lunch, but there are other restaurants we would have loved to eaten at but did not have the time! The fishing was great....caught a 3 1/2 pound bass thanks to Paula! We want to come back in the spring and fall to enjoy this great find again. You will NOT be disappointed at this terrific place!

WONDERFUL AND RELAXING RETREAT

Review Submitted: February 21, 2011 Date of Stay: February 2011
I took my hubby here for a "surprise" get away... and boy was he surprised! HE LOVED the fishing of course. I loved that I could still be with him and "enjoy" his fishing all while sitting on the pier with him reading my book!
The Tree house was PERFECT! VERY CLEAN and very COMFORTABLE! Jim and Paula were wonderful host. We are planning on coming back to stay in the cottage with our two children. Thanks for a wonderful, relaxing time!!!
