Little Reata at Lake Cabin Escapes

"Tyler airbnb named No. 1 in Tyler Area for 2018". Custom built Cabin tucked away on our East Texas Farm peeking out over beautiful Lake Palestine. We combined a unique assortment of refurbished wood to give our new cabin that cozy farm feel. It's a peaceful place to get away and refresh! Has a full kitchen with range/oven. Keeping with our Classic Movie theme, Little Reata got it's name from the Epic film "Giant", starring Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor & James Dean.

There is a Brookshires Grocery store approximately 1 mile away. Chiggers are out in the tall grass by May 15th- Mid August use bug spray when exploring.
The Cabin is in the woods and at the lake so you can expect bugs, poison Ivy, occasional snakes and other natural critters you find in the woods so please be aware and alert! We strive to protect the Natural Texas Ecosystem as much as possible and provide a safe Natural habitat for local wildlife to thrive and have a place to raise their young. Our property can be native and slightly overgrown during the growing seasons of the year. We also farm organically around the property. We try to be chemical free and only use pesticides for nuisance pests as needed. Spiders and lake bugs are all part of the Natural Texas Ecosystem at the Lake.
