Perfectly Quaint
My husband and I stopped here between home and Alexandria, LA, on our way to visit his mother. I am so glad we stayed at this location rather than electing to stay at some random hotel. The back patio's view at sunset is breathtaking! You can tell how much thought went into the place, down to the tiniest details! We enjoyed listening to your record collection while cooking, eating, and winding down for the night! We will be returning and are sad we could only stay one night! Thank you! **As a disabled person, having a grab bar in the shower would be a fantastic addition! Otherwise, very handicap accessible!

A Relaxing Experience
We stayed in the cabin with the screened in back porch and a pond in the back yard. We watched the turtles and listened to the birds. I would definitely recommend this little piece of heaven and tranquility. Anne

Great weekend getaway
There were so many great things about this place: screened in porch overlooking the water, adorable and quaint living area, rural area, hospitality of the owner and very peaceful. A few things to note: the cabin is not on a property of its own but a collection of cabins, the pool is a communal pool, and the water (tank) is truly available for visual enjoyment. This is a great romantic getaway if you want to remain indoors in isolation.

We were looking for a complete change of setting and routine from our usual city living schedule. This house is roomier for two than some other places we've stayed -- two areas inside, a large living area/full kitchen, and a large and open bedroom/bath. It was exceptionally clean and well kept. Besides a very attractive and welcoming front yard, the treasure here is the very large screened-in back porch that directly overlooks a lovely irrigation pond. We had the pleasure of sitting there and watching a storm introduce itself with rain-play circles on the water's surface before turning into a beautiful drenching. Turtles and birds aplenty. The property is close to Crockett if you want breakfast (Moosehead Cafe to pay for more interesting decor, or Rosemary's Hilltop Kitchen for local flavor at better prices. Both good food.) It's not much farther in the other direction to Lufkin for a much bigger assortment of dinner-type places (try Roma Italian Bistro). Lufkin also boasts an H-E-B grocery location if you want to stock a few items to prepare yourself. We came in from the north through forest roads, and found a trail to stroll down at one point. After leaving, we went up to Palestine to catch the Texas State Railroad run (highly recommend the very comfortable Presidential car, where 78-year-old Joyce is the longtime hostice/server). Although this guest house is one of four on the property that are situated adjacent to each other, we never felt concerned about privacy.

Perfect place to relax
This was an amazing experience, cabin was beautiful, peaceful and we enjoyed the screened in porch and the pond. We loved watching the fish and the grounds were in perfect order with beautiful flowers and butterflies. There was nothing we needed that was not provided. Plenty of towels and comfort for our 3 days there. Perfect place to relax and unwind. We had breakfast delivered to our door with no interruption and the food was delicious. On Sunday we ate the brunch which was fantastic and had that home cooked feel. We took some time to relax by the pool and just loved the atmosphere and the host were perfect and made us feel at home. We plan on returning next year to see if the fish have grown.

Awesome Forrest Escape!
Delightful respite from our usual busy lifestyle. Such a fun opportunity to indulge in all they had to offer. If you're going to MAKE time to get away - TAKE the time to enjoy the perks! They offer a delicious breakfast (farm-to-table) cooking; picnic lunch excursion included in their rentable Jeep tour AND don't miss out on their Sunday lunch buffet. Their attention to detail is impressive and heartwarming! Looking forward to another visit!

We loved getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Sarah and Larry are humble hosts who run a class act biz. Cottages are quaint and comfortable with all the necessities of nestled in the beautiful East Texas landscape. Breakfast was amazing as in there restaurant option. Farm to table fresh and good from start to finish. Don’t think twice, book a little getaway and you won’t regret choosing this property. We will be back soon. The Autrey’s
