Van Alstyne, Texas
Located down a country lane in the midst of rolling hills just one hour north of Dallas. Take the row boat out on the 23 acre lake to swim or for catch and release fishing. Sun on the dock or enjoy long walks down country lanes. Inside your private guest cottage you will be greeted by white linen, French country antiques and all the modern conveniences in a fully appointed kitchen and bath.Small dogs on leash are welcomed.No smoking is allowed on property !
This place was beautiful. Owners sent us specific driving instructions. A great get away, but still close enough to visit old Van Alstyne.
We loved our stay. It is a beautiful property, quiet, peaceful and well maintained. Coffee on the back porch looking over the lake was so relaxing. I would stay again in a heartbeat.
Amazing. Stunning. Comes with a beautiful view and all the wonderful sounds of nature. Perfect place to get “off the grid”. I have never stayed at a place that is fully equipped/stocked from the kitchen right down to the laundry supplies. Made the trip a breeze and stressless. Donna is a great Hostess and we never felt that it was an imposition to reach out to her. Her Oasis will be our “go to” when visiting our family in Texas.
Exquisite! About 3/4 mile off of the road and QUITE! When you open the door you have a step back in time farmhouse decor with all the modern conveniences. The layout is straight out of a magazine. Comfortable beds, relaxing porch with a great view. The lake is a must for catch and release fishing. Donna, the host is the best. This will be a go to in future visits.
My husband and I loved this little retreat! The beds were very comfortable and the setting is amazing! Donna is a very kind and welcoming hostess!
Great place to spend a quiet weekend. The place is clean.
Great place to slip away to for peace and quiet.
We had a truly magical stay at this absolutely beautiful French Country Home! This home is exquisitely decorated and we truly felt like we were in the movie The Notebook! The kitchen has everything you need to prepare fabulous meals while enjoying the beauty of this home and the grounds it sits on! The back porch is out of a magazine as is the rest of this dreamy home! The lake has the best fishing in Texas according to my husband who caught huge Bass, Croppie and Blue Gills! The row boat with the trolling motor was so fun. We absolutely loved our days enjoying the beauty of this home and how peaceful and serene the setting is, and the lake is absolutely wonderful! We felt like we truly stepped back in time and we had the most romantic getaway we have literally ever had! We spent the 4th of July weekend, soaking up the beautiful sun on the lake, cooking and grilling wonderful meals, and the Fireworks were the best we have ever seen, we will be returning every 4th! We are already planning our next romantic retreat and the hospitality from the wonderful owners Donna and Hank, was the cherry on top of this incredible find! We plan to be frequent visitors to this gem! Joe and Michelle, Allen Texas
The house is beautiful. The host, Donna was gracious and kind and a perfect host. We have what we call a silent retreat about three times a year. Three women - two sisters and a niece. On Saturday we remain silent all day. We choose our own activities for the day, but all is done in silence. This time, one crocheted, one made a Christmas stocking for her youngest grandchild and the other, a new widow spent time in the Word and with God. We walked some and listened to music - each doing their own thing. This was the PERFECT place for us. So beautiful and serene, Would definitely recommend it to anyone seeking a beautiful relaxing place to spend time away from all the distractions of day-to-day life.
This place was even better than described. So clean and cozy and had everything you need. It was such a peaceful stay whether we were sitting by the fireplace inside, sitting on the back porch with a drink or sitting down by the lake it was amazing. The home was so comfortable that you really never had to leave. We will definitely make this trip again. ........ WE LOVED IT.
Donna and Hank were the best hosts possible. The house was a good size for 2 people. Isolated and peaceful. We needed a non-contact check in which was easily handled by Donna. We had meals on the back porch overlooking trees and the lake. We went and rowed the boat twice and enjoyed the clear lake, migrating birds and Texas sky. Perfect place to remember nature. We brought all of our food in and cooked some wonderful meals. Going back to town to get a meal would have been a short drive but one we didn't want to entertain. If you need a place to go that has been given a ton of care, thought and is kept up very very well - this is your spot. Recharge and renew. Thanks Donna and Hank!!
