Pond-View Cabin on 30 Acres/Dock + Fire Pit + Wildlife/Sleeps 4 | Cabin in Emory
1 Bedroom Cabin in Emory
Welcome to a rare kind of getaway — a warm, character-filled cabin on a peaceful East Texas ranch, where everything feels personal, authentic, and beautifully cared for. Set among the trees on nearly 30 acres of heavily wooded land, this 2-story cabin blends the charm of a true country retreat with the comfort and ease of a thoughtfully refreshed space that’s easy to settle into the moment you arrive.
Set on our family ranch, this guest cabin offers a truly authentic escape — not commercial or cookie-cutter — and is thoughtfully maintained to provide guests with a comfortable, turnkey country experience.
The cabin overlooks a scenic pond/tank, complete with a picturesque dock that feels straight out of a postcard. Guests are welcome to enjoy catch-and-release fishing right on the property, and mornings often bring sightings of deer and other wildlife moving quietly through the trees.
And for a little extra ranch charm — you may also hear (or spot from a distance) the property’s chickens and goats during your stay. Chickens remain in their coop and goats stay in their pen while guests are on the property, adding a fun touch of country life without impacting your privacy.
One of the best parts? This getaway feels worlds away — yet it’s incredibly convenient. The cabin is located just 1.5 hours from Dallas, making it an easy drive for a weekend escape, and only 10 minutes from downtown Emory, where you’ll find restaurants, a grocery store, and anything you might need during your stay.

A Peaceful Cabin Setting with Comfort & Privacy...
This guest cabin sits on a large ranch property that includes two additional homes, as well as an on-site property manager. The cabin itself is tucked into the trees and feels wonderfully separate, with the other residences out of view from the cabin area. Most guests find this setup offers the best combination of quiet seclusion — along with the comfort of knowing the property is cared for and supported.
For added ease and privacy, the cabin also has its own private entrance, separate from the main property entrance.
