With remnants of a petrified forest, dinosaurs, Caddo Indians, pioneers, homesteaders, this land has seen it all. Now it is a woodland ranch with an event venue, horses, farm animals, trails, fishing ponds and camping. A true "Country Club" where you can escape your world and the stresses of technology in the style you wish. We have an on site RV's, and event venue, with 3 private bathrooms with showers, a club bar, catering kitchen and so much more! Perfect for the family that has a "glamper" and those who want to "rough it". Big enough to handle family reunions, weddings and parties yet .. big enough to give you the privacy you seek! Contact us for special events. In October we host Haunted Hallows which includes a haunted house trail and other Halloween based activities. Be sure to like our facebook page for updates. Close by are the towns of Mt pleasant, Daingerfield and Pittsburg. All have downtown areas with boutiques, antique and second hand shops to visit. There are several museums in the area including the Mid America Flight Museum - a private museum of over 60 vintage airplanes in flyable condition. In pittsburg there is the Ezekial aircraft and local history museum. also within 20 miles are major likes for water sports and sport fishing beyond our own famous "Catfish pond".
