About Allen/Rhonda Sanders
Allen and Rhonda Sanders love living in East Texas and living on Lake Hawkins. Married for over 44 years with 2 incredible daughters and 6 grand kids, we're still crazy in love with each other and love to see families slow down and reconnect with each other and sometimes that means getting out of town and getting away from it all. Technically, we're 'retired', but stay busy managing our vacation rentals - but it really is a labor of love. We love opening our hearts and homes to folks who need to just need to chill for a while. In her spare time, Rhonda enjoys all kinds of crafts, quilting and almost anything creative - in fact she just opened up an antique shop in Mineola called Nestfeathers. Allen enjoys fishing and riding his Harley. They are both very active in leadership in their local church.
Allen/Rhonda Sanders purchased this cottage in 2015
Why Allen/Rhonda Sanders chose East Texas
We purchased this property in 2015 and finished completely remodeling it in 2016. A friend from Oklahoma (Noni, to her grandkids) was lamenting the fact that her grandkids just lived too far away here in Hawkins. So, now we have the best of both worlds - she has a great little lake place to spoil her grandkids and we manage it as a vacation rental when she goes back home. I call that "win-win"!
What makes this cottage unique
Lake Hawkins is one of the best kept secrets in the country. Quiet and peaceful, you can enjoy your coffee or a glass of wine on the front porch or go out onto the dock and just forget about the rest of the world. Bring your own watercraft or rent one of ours. Wonderful place to fish, swim, go boating or just chillax. You might have a little trouble leaving.

Wonderful experience
We had a lovely time staying in the cottage. We had a beautiful view of the lake, and were comfortable and relaxed in the cottage. It is a very quiet and secluded lake, so there wasn't much activity going on around us (which we loved). The cottage itself was clean and decorated very very cute. The pictures do not do it justice! Also something important to note: both the bed and the sleeper sofa were very squishy and comfortable. We will definitely come back for another stay!

Our Happy Place
The cottage was exactly what we needed. It was peaceful and the perfect hideaway with all the charms of lake life and small town charm. We enjoyed the local restaurant, Taste of Italy, and the shops and restaurants in the surrounding towns were fun to explore. Mineola has some great eateries and the antique shopping was fantastic. (I had to rent a UHaul to bring some fabulous finds home). The shop I enjoyed most was Nest Feathers. It was where I found the most unique things to bring back home for my decorating business. Being the only female in my family it was a treat to have some girl stuff to enjoy and the guys didn't mind because they found plenty of interesting things as well like fried pies and gun shops. This is Texas, y'all, we love our guns and fried pies...LOL.
My guys appreciated the boat we rented and rekindled their love of all things fishing: lures, fishing rods, reels and all that man stuff. I appreciated the convenience of having the boat waiting at the cottage dock, being able to grill and have lunch at the cottage, and get right back to the boat and fishing. Speaking of grilling, I found the kitchen to be stocked with above average cookware, some quality spices, and everything I could possibly want to prepare a meal.
Our stay was for seven days and we wish it had been longer. I could go on and on with many details of the trip, but don't have the space or time. My advice: book this cottage and experience the area, the people (all polite and cordial btw), the food, the fishing, the peace, the quiet, and all the good things it has to offer.
Wonderful get away!
Just an amazing experience! Everything was as described or even better! The owner met us upon our arrival to see if we needed anything and to go over the boat and fishing questions I had. Will stay in this or one of their other cabins several times a year from here on out. Perfect little get away!
Great vacation spot
Had a wonderful long weekend vacation to fish and relax. Location is great, décor is awesome. Everything you need is there to have an enjoyable visit. A bit of an issue with Wifi, but other than that, it was a very enjoyable weekend. Will return - hopefully soon !
Better than pictures, simply wonderful
Lake Hawkins is a special place and Noni's cabin is amazing. Everything you could need has already been thought of...just bring your book & a bathing suit. We fell in love with the place during our stay and hated to leave.
