The cabin boasts a picturesque, three-story wall of windows in the family room, floor-to-ceiling windows in the open dining room and the master- bedroom. Mature gorgeous pine trees surround the cabin. Playin' Hooky has a fully equipped gourmet kitchen with an oversized island, granite countertops, and double ovens. The large open floor plan, offers plenty of room to enjoy cooking, dining and gathering with your friends and family.

Amazing property

This cabin is absolutely amazing inside and out. There is so much to do that we didn’t feel like we needed to go anywhere to have fun. Kids loved the time here. The communication with the property manager fast and easy, responded immediately to all my questions and kept us informed of everything going on leading up to the trip. We will definitely be coming back to stay here in the near future.

Great Family Christmas Vacation

The property was beautiful. The outdoor activities were fun for all. We loved the hot tub. Large televisions in every room. The porch and fire pit were very relaxing. Plenty of room in the well stocked kitchen to prepare our meals. Beautifully decorated for Christmas.

Couples Trip

This was the perfect property for a couple’s trip. Each of the four couples on our trip had their own beautiful room with an en-suite bathroom. The property manager was attentive and accommodating, and the amenities were great. The cabin was very clean, the kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. The location convenient while still feeling remote—very close to both Grateful Head and Abendigos.

Family Christmas

Our family stayed at Playin’ Hooky the weekend before Christmas. It was the perfect setting for our group of twelve. The house was exactly as pictured with the wonderful addition of Christmas decor. The bedrooms were roomy and comfortable, each with its own attached bathroom. The kitchen was very well stocked and even included coffee and snacks! We didn’t use the hot tub but made use of the fire pit, play set and ping pong table. Ranae, the property manager was very helpful and the house was beautifully clean. We would definitely love to return to this wonderful house.

The perfect place

The property was better than advertised and the host was even better. We had 16 family members in our group and we never felt crowded. And to top it off, a herd of deer visited every morning and evening. 5 star property and 5 star hosts!!!

Relaxation and Fun!

The house was beautiful and quite spacious. The outside area was perfect for hanging out with the family or playing with the kids. The house had all the cooking utensils that we could possibly need. There were small touches everywhere that made it feel like home. The area is beautiful and walking through those woods and along those rivers can renew your soul!

Wonderful Property

This is our second time staying at Playin’ Hooky. First in September 2022 and now November 2024. Our event is a family reunion where we stay at 3 properties. This house was perfect for the couples with kids under the age of 8. It was spotless when we walked in and had everything we needed for the weekend. The cable is dish and we were not able to use it on one day because of dense fog but the owner was extremely communicative and helpful in trying to get it restored. We hope to stay again in 2026 when we have another reunion!

Short getaway

We only got to stay 2 nights, i wish it had been a week. The cabin was great, spacious and clean. The 11 of us never felt cramped. We utilized the large kitchen which was fully stocked with everything you need to prepare meals. The hot tub and firepits were a hit as well. A few people went on a trail walk close by and really enjoyed it.

Playin’ Hooky at Its Best

This gorgeous, spacious cabin was a perfect get away for our growing family. The arcade was a huge hit with the kids, and the beautiful outside living, dining and relaxing areas were perfect for the adults. Our stay was both enjoyable and relaxing. The cabin is located just a short drive from Beaver’s Bend State Park, where I spent time as a child, so I was able to share some of my experiences there with my children and grandchildren. Thank you for sharing this beautiful cabin with us!

Playin; Hooky exceeded our expectations! The Cabin is beautiful and very well stocked/organized! There was nothing the group needed that wasn't available! The host was very great to communicate/work with through the entire process. The cabin location was great for all the area attractions. We highly recommend this VRBO for other large families looking for a relaxing get away, and we would definately book again when in the area! DJ Morgan

Sweet getaway pad !!!

This property was perfect for our group of 16, beautiful inside and out. Booking was easy. Host has been friendly and available with a simple text. Listens to concerns. Oh yeah, property has a new grill, you are welcome lol. This place was worth the price. And lets not forget the well stocked kitchen. First time a kitchen has come close to my version of stocked. I did bring a few super big pans, but I was cooking for 16, lol. Very comfortable home away from home. Thank you Renae.

A relaxing Thanksgiving

My family had an amazing five day Thanksgiving get away to the cabin. All we wanted was to sit back by the fire, play card games, watch football and slow down from our crazy busy schedule of school and sports commitments in Dallas. That’s exactly what we did, plus, eat way too much turkey. The cabin set up was perfect for our teenagers. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed to feed a large family. We can’t wait to go back and stay at Playin Hookey again very soon.

The house was fantastic and our stay was great. The roads are absolutely horrendous!! One of our drivers busted a tire and bent a rim. You would think with million dollar houses they could at least use a road grader everyday if needed.

Great Property

This property and location was perfect! The property is well maintained, very clean and had the perfect amount of space for our family. It is centrally located to the activities that were of interest to our family. When I had small questions, communication with the property manager was prompt and friendly. Other than the large pot holes in roads of the neighborhood, everything was great. Cars that are low to the ground are not ideal. I highly recommend this property for families or larger groups.
