Large Family~Retreat~Reunion~First Monday~Pool~Spa

The Log Cabin Retreat in Canton is perfect for your family getaway, small group retreat, First Monday weekend, or large family stay-cation! There are beds for 16+! Enjoy swimming, relaxing in the hot tub, playing yard games, or just soaking up the beauty of the wooded country from the large wrap-around porch. Cook your favorite meals for your group inside, or BBQ out by the pool in our large outdoor kitchen! The space The Log Cabin sits on 6.5 acres just west of Canton, Texas. The Cabin, yard, pool, and play area are on one acre, and the remaining 5.5 are a combination of active livestock pasture and lovely woods. As you enter the property, turn right and proceed into the circle drive. In front of you, you'll notice signs indicating guest parking. Just beyond that, you'll find a tree-shaded children's play area featuring a saucer swing, sandbox, climbing platforms, and a slide. When evening comes, automatic café lights will illuminate the play area, creating a warm, inviting country atmosphere. If you look to your right, you'll see the pasture, where you might spot some cattle. In the spring, you could even catch a glimpse of a newborn calf or two. Further into the pasture, there’s a fishing pond where you're welcome to cast a line. Shifting your focus back to the play area, you can catch a view of the Cabin, along with the backyard and pool area. The large Cabin, grounds, pool, livestock, wooded area, and pasture all require ongoing, active management and maintenance. There's a small secondary cabin connected to the north side of the main Log Cabin, which is where we live. To ensure guest privacy and comfort, each cabin has its own entrance and parking area. The Log Cabin parking is located to the south, while the Host Cabin parking is to the north, behind a wooden privacy gate. The cabins are also separated by a wooden privacy fence at the back. Whatever you envision for your vacation, you can make it happen at The Log Cabin. Whether you're looking for fun-filled summer days by the pool, crisp fall evenings making s'mores at the fire pit, or romantic candle-lit nights for two in the poolside spa, The Log Cabin has something for everyone. We've hosted family staycations, reunions, high school friend gatherings, lodging for golf tournaments, First Monday shopping groups, cousins' retreats, church retreats, anniversary weekends, birthday parties, and even intimate weddings. Located an hour east of Dallas, an hour west of Tyler, and four hours north of Houston, we're perfectly situated for groups coming together from all over. We're close enough to Canton for a quick trip to town for groceries, yet far enough down tree-lined county roads to offer a quiet and peaceful retreat for you and your guests. As you plan your get-together, the bedrooms may be used as individual family suites, or as adult suites with kiddos in other rooms. Either way works out well. Downstairs Rooms sleep 8 total: 1.

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 left (north) side yard by property line, right (south) side yard by fence, and the concrete garage approach. Host parking is to the left side lane toward the back of the house. Please do not block the host drive (no parking in front of wooded gate). Guests may access the main house, with access through the front door, not the garage. Inside the main house guests may access the entire space, with the exception of one of the two closets in the master bedroom, which has personal belongings, and the host pantry in the laundry room, which holds supplies. There is a guest supply closet under the stairs with extras such as toilet paper and paper towels. There is no garage access, and there is no access to the workshop in the pool building or the barn beyond the pond, 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, which includes a private apartment and RV space. We ask that guests not access the north side of the cabin beyond the privacy fence, as it has personal and maintenance items. 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. Other things to note NOTE: The correct address is 554 VZ County Rd 2139. Airbnb autocorrected it and will not let me change it. **To all Airbnb valued travelers: in light of the pandemic, please consider investing in "cancel for any reason" travelers insurance. It is impossible for hosts to make refund assurances for every possible scenario. My Cancellation policy is classified as strict, and it is recommended that guests consider purchasing a travelers insurance benefit in order to protect your plans in the event of extenuating circumstances. If you have been diagnosed, medical record confirmation will allow you to file a claim for travel related losses with your travel insurance provider.** Rental agreement is required and a link will be sent to you upon reservation. As noted in our listing, there are security cameras on the corners of the house. These are not used to "spy" on guests, but instead because of the increasing incidence of "porch pirates." There is also one camera on the pool, which is there only for liability purposes, in the event of an accident. Hosts do not watch or surveil the property while guests are present. There are many deliveries to The Log Cabin, and the security cameras are just that - security, NOT surveillance. Kitchen is fully equipped.
