Flint Cabin | Little Reata at Lake Cabin Escapes w/firepit

1 Bedroom Cabin in Flint

`Voted No. 1 Cabin in Tyler Area for 2018`. Custom built Cabin tucked away on our East Texas Farm peeking out over beautiful Lake Palestine. Combines a unique assortment of refurbished woods to give our cabin that cozy farm feel. It`s a peaceful place to get away and refresh! Has a full kitchen with range/oven, full bathroom and sleeper sofa. Keeping with our Classic Movie theme, Little Reata got it`s name from the Epic film `Giant.` Shared access to Hot Tub and fishing pier on property.
Nature Getaway in the Heart of Rural Texas
Welcome to our peaceful retreat, tucked in the woods and just minutes from the lake. This is a true country setting, where you’ll walk grassy trails, drive down dirt roads, and be surrounded by trees, wildlife, and the natural beauty of Texas.
Please note: The property is hilly, and it’s a walk down to the lake, to the ponds, and to most areas on the land. It’s not recommended for anyone with mobility issues or those who may have difficulty navigating uneven terrain.
It’s a perfect spot for couples looking to unplug, slow down, and reconnect. Watch the sunset, stargaze by the fire, or enjoy your morning coffee surrounded by nature. Whether you`re celebrating something special or simply craving quiet time together, you`ll find it here.
Expect to experience the seasons — it’s hot in the summer, cold in the winter, and the weather can shape the landscape with overgrowth or erosion. We maintain the property, but nature always has a say.
We love our wildlife neighbors and we work to preserve their home.
As part of this natural setting, you may encounter bugs, spiders, poison ivy, snakes, and other woodland critters. We encourage guests to be aware and respectful of the environment around them. If you appreciate the outdoors, you’ll feel right at home.
We’re dedicated to preserving the Natural Texas Ecosystem. Our property is a safe habitat where local wildlife can thrive and raise their young. During the growing seasons, the landscape can be a bit wild or overgrown, which is part of our commitment to keeping things as natural and untouched as possible.
We also farm organically on the property and aim to stay chemical-free. The presence of spiders and lake bugs is simply part of life here—it`s all part of the charm of an authentic Texas lake and woodland stay.
But if you`re expecting a sterile hotel experience or a bug-free zone, this may not be your ideal fit. Dirt on your shoes and the occasional scratch from a tree branch are part of the adventure.
If you`re ready to unplug, explore, and enjoy the raw beauty of the Texas wild, we’d be honored to host you.
Guests have full private access to the cabin, along with shared access to several unique outdoor features across the property:
• PARKING – Convenient parking is located directly at the cabin
• PRIVATE FIRE PIT– Perfect for cozy evenings under the stars.
• OUTDOOR HOT TUB – Available to adult guests (18+) shared by 3 of our cabins.
• WALKING TRAILS – Hilly trails through the woods that lead to two different lake access points on Lake Palestine.
• LAKE ACCESS & SMALL FISHING PIER – Swim or fish at your own risk.
• OUTDOOR NATURAL COLD PLUNGE – A refreshing dip for the adventurous. (Seasonal; LIMITED AVAILABILITY)
• DISC GOLF COURSE – Listed on UDisc as “lakecabinescape” in Flint, TX. Bring your own discs and enjoy a fun challenge right on the property.
We live on the same private 22-acre farm in the original farmhouse and are nearby if you need anything during your stay. You may see us out working in the gardens, tending the landscape, or walking the property.
There are five cabins and a lake house on the property. The trails, natural lake access, fishing pier, ponds, hot tub, and cold plunge are shared spaces. The natural setting offers plenty of room to explore, relax, and enjoy the outdoors. We’re always happy to help if you have questions or need anything—but we respect your privacy and want you to enjoy the peace and beauty of the land.

Summary: This was our second stay at this property. The small footprint of the house is compensated for by the design; Very compact but attractive with the design. Perfect for two people. The ladder to the sleeping loft was very easy to use for this 83 year old. We enjoyed being in the woods and using the fire pit. Hope to stay again soon.
