My wife and I enjoyed our stay at The Deer cabin. It’s a great location in the piney woods of north east Texas. We loved the view from our cabin situated in the trees with a great view of the lake. We liked sitting out on the porch enjoying the view. The cabin was great too. The layout and decor makes you feel that your far from the hustle and bustle, and can just leave all that behind and relax and enjoy. Our host Marina was wonderful. She went out of her way to make sure that our stay was the best it could be. We couldn’t have asked for any better host. We will definitely be back again and have told our friends about this quaint little spot. We highly recommend it. Thank you Marina!
