Cabins near Athens

·

Cabins around Athens put you right in the middle of East Texas woods, with over 50 options if you want a roof overhead. Most sit tucked under pine and oak, within reach of fishing holes and quiet swimming spots. Average price runs $139 a night, but you’ll spot places as low as $62 if you keep an eye out. A hot shower and toilet come standard almost everywhere; a few even throw in a hot tub. Top picks? Try Music Springs (138 reviews) for live tunes and pond views, A Little Piece of Paradise (61 reviews) for quiet trails, or Seven Acres Campground (33 reviews) for wide open space. Wildlife-watching is a given—bring binoculars for the deer and owls. Athens cabins keep things simple, practical, and close to everything you actually came for.
