POND
There is a pond on the property, and cattle that enjoy that space. You are free to wet a hook, but please be CERTAIN to close the gate and latch the chain if you go to the pond.

Guest Access:

Guest parking is to the right and left side yards and the concrete garage approach.
Host parking is to the left side lane toward the back of the house. Please do not block.

Guests may access the main house, with access through the front door, not the garage.

There is no garage access, and there is no access to the workshop in the pool building, as these spaces are used for storage and equipment.

Guests may access the back yard south side yard, and pool area. Beyond the north privacy fence is the property host area. We ask that guests not access the north side of the property beyond the privacy fence. Host, if present, will give guests complete privacy, but will be available in case of question or emergency.

Guests may have access to the pond, but watch for our country critters that say ssssssssss----< - there are cattle that have access to the pond area, so if you access it, it is imperative that you close and fasten the gate.

Interaction with Guests: There will be no personal guest interaction, unless requested by the guest.

The host may be available, based on scheduling.

There are separate private host/owners quarters attached to the garage of the cabin. If the host is on property, this is where she will stay. It has it's own private entrance. For this reason, please do not park in the lane next to the concrete garage approach (lane is marked), as this is the lane to the back of the host quarters, as well as private host camping area.

Other Things to Note:

Kitchen is fully-equipped.

**Disclaimer: ALL guests must be registered on our check-in form. If extra guests come without being registered, your reservation will be cancelled without refund, and you will be asked to vacate the premises.**

BEAUTIFUL ESCAPE

They have thought of EVERYTHING! Not only was this the perfect place for our huge family, but we didn't have to worry about toxic smells & chemicals, because they use the same natural products we've used for over 22yrs! What a blessing! We will have our family gathering here every year! Absolutely the best!

Girls Reunion

The 9 of us had a fabulous stay! The owners/host thought of everything! We couldn't have asked for a place that fit our needs any better than this gorgeous home! The sitting was within about 15 minutes of First Monday, the trees were so peaceful! There were so many amenities that we didn't even have time to take advantage of! We all said we want to come back so we can enjoy this amazing home again!

This home is beautiful. It truly is a lot like your own personal resort. It’s secluded, clean, and huge! The house had everything we needed for our stay. We had a small gathering of family and the kids had the best time playing in the pool. Great communication with the host, small stores, dollar store less than 3 miles away. It’s a dream home, you will not regret choosing this property.

Fantastic Place!

We had an awesome stay and Julie was an awesome hostess! The place was beautiful! The kitchen was fully stocked. We were looking to see if there was an air fryer for our leftovers and she said no but wanted to get one. The next morning she had ordered one and it was on the front porch! She answered every question without any delay. It was a 5 star stay!

Perfect for Our Girls Weekend Getaway

We used the house for a weekend girls trip and it was great. There is plenty of space (we had 15 adults) so no one felt crowded. Lots of bed space, huge dining and living spaces and great kitchen for cooking large meals. I would advise bringing some knives if you're prepping a lot of food as either people have taken the knives or they just don't have many available, but there were really no good chopping knives. They are not kidding in that there are plenty of towels to go around which is great. The pool is spacious and even gets some shade during part of the day (the spa is also covered which looks new). Only had one minor hiccup (DVD player was missing from great room), but the owner was very responsive, offered to replace immediately, and it was not disruptive to our stay. My only two pieces of feedback would be that it would be so awesome to have more than 15 place settings available as we had to constantly wash dishes and run the dishwasher in between meals. Not a huge issue, but for a house that seems like it's constantly hosting a large amount, I think it would be helpful. The other is that the manuals and the instructions left in the room are conflicting and probably should be updated. The checkout instructions are different and it led to a little bit of confusion for our group. All in all, the house was great for our gathering and I would highly recommend staying here!

Great Extended Family Retreat

The log home is very impressive! Everyone was excited to be there. Every summer my husband and I and our children and grandchildren spend vacation time together. There are 12 of us, and there was plenty of room. We had space to play games both inside and outside. The pool was a big hit with kids and adults. The outdoor kitchen and play space was great. The inside kitchen was super clean, even the pots and pans shine! There was lots of useful supplies (paper towels, toilet paper, etc.). The owner was quick to reply to any inquiry. Thanks for a great time!

AWESOME Family Girl’s Retreat

Our family had an incredible time at the cabin. All the girls in our family ranging in age 4-63 yrs old. had various activities to keep busy or just relax. We had lots of room inside and out, a playground to keep our little ones busy, a hot tub for adults to relax in, a large patio area to sit around and chat, lots of games and a well stocked organized kitchen. Julie and her daughter went above and beyond to make our stay easy and comfortable. They prepared special Easter baskets for our young girls to enjoy, which they loved! The cabin was super clean and organized. The city of Canton is a quick drive with fabulous shops and restaurants. Our family had a memorable time and would not hesitate to return or recommend this large cozy cabin. ❤️❤️❤️

Great family getaway

We had a wonderful, relaxing time at the log cabin. Seven of us stayed here, and we had plenty of extra room. The cabin truly is fully stocked. The beds are super comfortable, and all the linens are plush. It's blissfully quiet, and there are plenty of non-electronic things to do. We really enjoyed being able to barbecue large meals, sit around the fire pit making s'mores, and just unplug and unwind. The massage chair was fabulous. The hosts were amazing. We definitely recommend it!

Wonderful House for a group

The house was perfect for our group of 12 and could easily sleep more. It had everything you could ask for including, BONUS, an ice machine. That was a wonderful surprise. We didn't have to run out for ice. The pool and hot tub were wonderful. Lots of space outside to hang out. Beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable. Highly recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Julie L. Wright

Host profile image
We are a homeschool family with two children of eleven still at home. We have seventeen grandchildren! We love this home - we built it with our own hands from 2005 to 2007. The kids do the grounds-keeping and cleaning of the property to help them learn to work hard and do a good job. We would love to share our home with you!

Please note - There is an attached apartment, accessible through the garage. If we are on property, we will be staying there. We do not bother guests, but we are accessible if needed.

Why they chose this property

We love our home. Having built it ourselves, it holds a special place in our hearts. It is in the quaint little town of Canton, Texas. We are close enough to Dallas to enjoy a day in the city, yet far enough out to see the bright stars at night in the dark country sky. We love the area, the people, the feel, and the atmosphere of Canton. We hope you come to love it, too.
