Cute rustic homey cabin. Relaxing area off the beaten path. Lots of animals, horses and donkeys in pasture very nearby. Turkeys, chickens, etc penned nearby. Ducks on a nice lake very close. Donkeys provide protection day and night. Only issue was hot water for shower was only good for one at a time then took a little wait to reheat. Pretty area.

Weekend Trip to Family Farms
The cabin was as advertised. The bed was very comfortable and the shower had plenty of hot water. We liked the privacy of the cabins location at the back of the property. However, there are cabins next to ours and there was no curtain on the window above the sink in the bedroom/kitchen area. The people outside at the next cabin were able to see I side our cabin. I suggest a curtain for the window. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We stayed for 3 nights and had an amazing time! The property was perfect for a family trip — clean, beautiful, and full of activities for everyone.
They had a miniature putt-putt course, a bounce area, playground, swimming pool, fishing pier and more! A few of us even enjoyed kayaking together on the water. (Kayaks cost extra to rent). It felt peaceful yet fun, with plenty of activities to keep everyone happy. We would definitely come back and highly recommend it to other families looking for a relaxing, activity-filled getaway!

My family really enjoyed The Retreat. We had 8 people in our group and stayed in one of the cabins. It was a tight squeeze but we made it work. We really liked the pool and other amenities that were provided. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We bothered them a lot with towel, toilet paper, and trash bag requests. There was wifi in the clubhouse and in the cabins. You can rent golf carts to drive around in and cabanas around the pool. My only complaint is that the only shade around the pool was the cabana, and the Texas sun is not forgiving. All together, it was a great stay and we would definitely return.

First, if this is your first time there, travel in the daylight. You have been warned.
But once you arrive, you will see all the charm that is Baker’s Cabin.
Raised cabin with well utilized space underneath. Climb the steps to the deck (very well build and maintained by the way) and get to the back deck. Just turn around and check out the view of nature. There is a feeder which assuredly attracts deer and hogs likely.
Walk around to enter and once inside you will see this charming little spot. The spiral stairs leading to the loft are not only solidly built, but so beautiful. A bit narrow for us “big eaters” but very manageable. Kitchen is well equipped so plan a meal or two.
The host is very attentive, thank you Ally. Communication was phenomenal and they were available if needed (by phone, text or email) as they are not on property.
The area had significant rainfall in the days leading up, so we kept our exploring to the high and dry ground.
The aforementioned back deck was also well equipped. We to a short drive into town Saturday morning and brought back steak and potatoes for the grill. Yes, we decided to spoil ourselves.
Advice, use pen and paper to note directions as cell service will not be available driving from the property. Cold AC, wifi and tv’s if you need)
Host, location and amenities will certainly bring us back. Hope you visit, you will see!
Thanks for a great weekend away, Ally and Don

Did a backpacking trip through a strip of the Lone star Trail and this was our base camp. It was shaded but still hot in August and we were the only campers there both times we camped here. They have latrines but no formal restrooms. It's right by a lake so you can cool off and wash up there during your stay. The campsites had spickets so it was easy to get water for cooking. No covered shelters so be sure and bring a tarp or shade structure for added sun protection. Great trees for hammocking.
