Mabank, Texas
Our Lavender Hill Farm house is perfect for family reunions, ladies retreats, birthdays and more! We are situated on 11 acres with a 4 acre fishing pond and the farmhouse is surrounded by beautiful gardens featuring many roses bushes and lavender. We have a swimming pool, fire pit, 2 paddle boats, 2 kayaks and outdoor games, including a volleyball net, basketball and horseshoes. The grounds include a large vegetable garden, fruit trees and grapevines. Guests are welcome to pick vegetables and herbs, including mint, basil, oregano, thyme and parsley from our garden (seasonal) and we will provide fresh eggs from our chickens which are located on the other side of the pond. Guests may also be able to sample our homemade wine and salsa when available. The house is secluded but on the adjacent property is our managers house and he is available to help with any special needs. Canton First Monday Trade Days in Canton is an easy 20 minute drive as are the towns of Mabank and Terrell. We are about 30 minutes away from three large lakes, but you won't want to leave our house!
This is a great house to spend time with your family or a nice couples retreat. We have done both here. The pond is nice. We had a golden algae problem during this visit bit that is not the norm. I have actually been to this house 3 different times and enjoyed it each time. This time we took the entire family and made memories together. My kids lived within an hour or 2 from the property so it was easy for the kids and grandkids to come and go around their schedules. The fresh fruit was so nice. Several walks were made around the pond to get fresh peaches and nectarines. The tomatoes were also enjoyed by all from the garden. The rooms are lovely and worked out nicely for my family. We all enjoyed the game room. The open living space in the house is awesome. It was so nice to have room for all of us to sit and eat together and share conversation. If you are looking for a nice relaxing vacation to connect with your family, I would definitely recommend Lavender Hill.
Convenient local with great country atmosphere. Kids loved the pool and s’mores on the fire pit. First visit to Canton’s First Monday Trade Days for several of us. Only issue - Couldn’t get the pin # to work on the specified entry. But the nearby kitchen door was unlocked.
So much to do! Lots of opportunities to relax and catch up with family members away from city distractions. We viewed lovely sunsets, walked the property while the dogs romped, playing indoor and outdoor games of all types, and this visit we spent a lot of time chilling in the pool and hot tub. Ideal family memory maker!
The property was well kept the house had plenty of room and was very clean. We enjoyed sitting pool side and the beautiful views from the long dock ! Lots of great memories made and would recommend this property 100%.
Celebrated my mom's 89th birthday with all of her close family at this great property. Lots of places to sit and visit, with a beautiful view of the water. Really enjoyed the paddles boats, kayaks, and game room.
Good time The place is a lot of fun
Three families get together every Labor Day weekend and this was our second time to stay here. This is a perfect place for our group as there is so much room and so many great things to do. We've been getting together for 13 years now and this place is our favorite.
So enjoyable and relaxing. Kids and teens spent the time swimming paddle boating, having fun in the game room. So enjoyable for kids and adults. Highly recommend.
It was unanimously decided by our three generational family of 12 that our stay at Lavender Hill was a BLAST!!! What a pleasant surprise to find a home that was truly stocked for large groups. From the overabundance of towels (both bath and pool) to a fully stocked kitchen with every appliance, pot/pan and utensil you could ever need. What an added bonus to be greeted in the refrigerator with delicious fresh eggs from the chicken coup. Whatever bed you end up with you will not be disappointed as they are all comfortable right down to the bunk beds. The sparkling pool (with tons of pool toys/floats) and the beautiful grounds are extremely well kept. Paddle boating and fishing on the gorgeous pond was definitely a family favorite! From the moment you awake to the serene quietness of the countryside until your head hits your pillow at night from a refreshing swim in the pool or walk of the property, you will never lack for something FUN to do either indoors or out!
This is our second time to stay at the Lavender house and we love it there!! The pool was great and we loved the upgrades done to the master bathroom!! We only had one issue arise and it was taken care of to the best of their ability. We will for sure stay again!!
We gathered our family, our children and grandchildren, for an unforgettable week of inside games, outside games, lots of pool time, smores around the fire, paddle boating, barbequing, and so much more. Each day we seemed to discover another attribute of the property. Wonderful opportunity for us all to commune with nature and each other.
Everything was perfect and it was full of amenities. Basically, I over-packed. Destine was kind and helpful. Our whole family had a blast and never had a chance to get bored.
This is our 2nd stay at this property and they have done a lot of upgrades (modern master bath, new pool furniture, more fun and games in the gameroom). As I said last year, this place has everything for all ages. We are a group of 5 years to 69 years and we all had a great time and plan to return next year.
We had a family reunion, ages 3-65, total of 14 people. This was a perfect home. Kept the kids off all ages 4-17 entertained. The owners thought of everything. Clean, comfortable, supplied fish food, rods, s'mores for fire pit, pool and hot tub were great! The game room was a bonus. Can't say enough about this house. Simply beautiful and we hope to return. Destine was available if needed.
This is a quiet peaceful getaway. There is truly something for every age group. We will definitely be back.
Excellent!!
