This is just the cutest little cabin that was the original homeplace for this property back in 1865. We both love LONESOME DOVE so we named this cabin for GUS. (We built a two bedroom CLARA'S CABIN at the other end of the property. Both are very private and have their own sense of a peaceful getaway.)

It has been updated in keeping with respect for both its age and our modern needs. The kitchen boasts a new stainless GE gas stove/oven and a stainless GE fridge. It has a porcelainfarm sink and the floors....while not old....are stained to match the old plank flooring in the rest of the house. There is a comfy living room with a fireplace and DirecTV and fantastic stained glass pieces done by widely acclaimed stained glass artist, Pat Williams.

The bedroom has a queen size bed and off this bedroom in the front is a reading room/bunk room with a bunk for ONE extra person...although this little house is more comfortable for one or two people. We can also provide a cot or a Pack N Play if given advance notice that you are bringing a small child.

The bathroom has a slate tile floor and slate tile shower with stained glass in the window of the shower and above the sink. There is a washer and dryer in the event that you need those items. We supply a hair dryer and linens and towels for your needs. We also supply shampoo, soaps, Tide, charcoal for grilling, etc., just like your home. We stock the pantry with condiments and other foodstuffs for your use.

There is a lovely patio in the back with a couple of tables and chairs and patio furniture with an umbrella. We have a hot tub (PLEASE...NO LOTIONS AT ALL ON YOUR BODIES IN THE HOT TUB.) There is a fire pit for your enjoyment and we generally have wood out there for it. . There is also a propane fired grill for your outdoor cookouts!

Whatever you would like to use at the Little House, please feel free to do so.
AND....if you love fresh farm eggs feel free to go into the chicken coop and get some fresh eggs and in the garden behind the little chicken coop, you can pluck some fresh veggies whenever the garden yields its crops.

Our newest dog addition, Lilly the blue eyed husky, will usually camp out under the Little House just to keep cool.

It is just a lovely little cabin. Please enjoy yourself! You can text me at 936-645-6101

    This cabin provided a fantastic getaway for my wife and I. Our first trip to Nacogdoches, and the property was out in the country for quiet, but close enough to town to enjoy the annual Blueberry Festival and enjoy some of the history of the town and my ancestry. Very highly recommended!

    The front porch was perfect for some afternoon quiet time, relaxing in the rocking chairs. The cabin itself was cozy, plenty of seating and room to spread out a little bit. Hot tub was perfect after a day walking around town. Host was accommodating and easy to communicate with. Five stars all around!

    We had an amazing stay at Gus’s Place. Marcia was wonderful with communication, recommending a local spot for some delicious coffee & gelato. The cabin was so warm and inviting - the fireplace was a definite comfort during the cool evenings! So much history in this house, we’d love to come back!

    Gus’s cabin greeted us like a warm hug. It was exactly what we needed for this particular trip. Just a wonderful historic cabin with a cozy ambiance that makes you never want to leave. The modern amenities blend in with the original cabin features so that you have the modern comforts, but not at the expense of the rustic charm of the cabin. A beautiful accomplishment! Marci’s beautiful paintings, pottery & weavings adorn every room & bring an authentic feel to the cabin. My husband & I loved the comfortable reading nooks & the host of beautiful coffee table books available. Marcia is such a warm & friendly hostess & surprised us with a delicious “Unwind” cake upon our arrival. It was delicious & we enjoyed it with cups of coffee in the evenings. Really was a special extra touch. This is our second stay with Marcia. We stayed at Clara’s cabin on a previous visit. Another very special cabin. On each of our visits Marcia has gone above & beyond to make our stay a special one. Thank you Marcia for everything! We so appreciate your sharing your special cabins & plan to return again & again.

Simple electronic check-in details were provided in advance and made checking in a breeze. We didn’t cook, but it appeared all the appliances were available for pretty much anything we would have wanted to do. Thank you for sharing your sweet little cabin with us!

The house was very cute and welcoming, there are fireflies in the area and Nacogdoches in general was great, everyone was so friendly and kind. The property manager was extremely gracious and helpful as well. You won’t regret staying here!

    The place is just quiet and serene, surrounded with beauty and the true flavor of Nacogdoches. Falling asleep to the rain at night and waking up to the fog in the yard made me miss home a lot. It’s out of the way of everything yet surprisingly close to all the thangs! thankful for the Lyon Ranch - what a good time :)
