🌿 HIDDEN CREEKSIDE RETREAT—JUST ½ MILE FROM DOWNTOWN MANSFIELD!

Enjoy peaceful country surroundings just minutes from dining, shopping & entertainment.

Relax on 3 private porches, sip coffee overlooking the gardens & seasonal creek, or watch birds and wildlife. Inside, enjoy luxury cotton linens, a fully equipped kitchen, fast Wi-Fi & thoughtful accessibility features.

Perfect for a romantic getaway, staycation, business trip or nature escape.

Come for the convenience. Stay for the peace.

🌿 WELCOME TO MANSFIELD'S BEST-KEPT SECRET

A peaceful cottage where nature, comfort and convenience come together.

Tucked among mature trees and gardens beside a seasonal creek, this private retreat is part of our secluded 6-acre property. You'll feel miles away from the city—yet you're only ½ mile from Downtown Mansfield and convenient to Joe Pool Lake, AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, Six Flags, Texas Live! and more.

Wake to birdsong. Sip coffee on one of three porches. Watch wildlife from the garden. Or unwind on the screened porch beneath twinkling café lights.

Depending on the season, you may even arrive to fresh flowers from our organic garden or a homemade treat. 🌸

Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, visiting family, working remotely or simply craving somewhere peaceful to recharge, this is a place designed to help you slow down and feel at home.

🌿 YOUR PRIVATE NATURE RETREAT

This is where the cottage truly shines.

Surrounded by mature trees, lush foliage, gardens, bird feeders and a seasonal creek, it offers a rare sense of privacy and nature this close to town.

Start your morning watching birds and wildlife with the provided binoculars, settle into the hammock with a good book, or simply enjoy the view.

After dark, listen for owls, frogs and cicadas while relaxing beneath the café lights.

Country peace. Downtown convenience. The best of both worlds.

🌅 THREE PORCHES • THREE WAYS TO UNWIND

Why settle for one porch when you can have three?

Each offers another way to enjoy the peaceful surroundings:

☕ Morning coffee & birdsong
🍷 Wine at sunset
🦋 Garden & wildlife watching
🔥 Grilling & outdoor dining
📖 Reading in the hammock
✨ Evenings beneath café lights

The screened porch is a guest favorite, with a hammock, café lighting and an intimate al fresco dining area for two.

Morning coffee really does taste better out here!

You'll find quality furnishings, modern appliances and thoughtful amenities throughout—but it's the little details that make the cottage special.

Sometimes staying in is part of the getaway.

💻 WORK REMOTELY—WITHOUT FEELING STUCK INSIDE

Fast Wi-Fi and a dedicated workspace make remote work easy.

When the workday is over, close the laptop and step onto the porch.

It's a pretty nice commute! 🌿

Longer stays are welcome, making the cottage a comfortable alternative for business travel, relocations, extended visits or anyone who wants a little more time to unwind.

🧺 THE LITTLE EXTRAS

On-site laundry is available with detergent and supplies, plus an iron and ironing board.

You'll also find thoughtful extras throughout the cottage to make longer stays more comfortable.

🌿 A FRESHER, FRAGRANCE-FREE STAY

We intentionally avoid artificial plug-in fragrances and heavily scented laundry products.

Linens and towels are washed using dye- and fragrance-free detergent, and we do not use dryer sheets.

For guests who prefer a naturally fresh environment without strong artificial scents, this is one of the little details that can make a big difference.

🐓 A LITTLE COUNTRY CHARM

Although Downtown Mansfield is only ½ mile away, life around the cottage can feel wonderfully removed from the city.

You may hear owls, frogs and cicadas, see fireflies or wild birds—and yes, we have chickens. 🐓

You might even hear Rocky, our resident rooster, announcing that morning has arrived.

Because we're so close to historic Downtown Mansfield, an occasional locomotive may also be heard in the distance.

It's all part of staying somewhere a little different from the typical suburban rental.

🚪 YOUR SPACE & PRIVACY

Guests have full private use of the cottage and its amenities.

The cottage shares a wall with the main home, but the spaces are completely separate. Two secured, non-operational doors are located between the spaces, with no guest access between the properties.

Self check-in makes arrival simple and convenient.

📍 AWAY FROM IT ALL—CLOSE TO EVERYTHING

One of the best things about the cottage is its location.

You can wake surrounded by trees and birdsong, yet be in Downtown Mansfield in minutes.

❤️ YOUR ESCAPE AWAITS

This isn't the typical Airbnb.

It's morning coffee on the porch. Birds outside your window. Café lights after dark. Crisp cotton sheets. Thoughtful little touches. And the feeling of being tucked away in nature while Downtown Mansfield is just around the corner.

Come for the convenience. Stay for the peace. 🌿
