Great weekend getaway from the Dallas area. The property is large and wooded with plenty of walkable terrain. The house has a lot of entertaining areas and a great kitchen. The host was responsive and helpful and I’m sure we will be back for a longer stay next time.
What a great place to come relax and unwind! Beautiful home with everything you need. The pond is awesome to just sit and enjoy nature. Great communication throughout the process. Will definitely stay here again if we are back in the area.
Once again, we had a great time here. Ive been coming here for years for my birthday and haven't had one bad experience. Nataliya is a great host and always on top of making sure everything is going well with our stay and very quick to respond. You wont be disappointed. Looking forward to my next stay!
I've been coming here for years and haven't had a bad experience one time. It's very quiet, relaxing and has some great fishing. The host, Nataliya, is so nice and has always been very quick to respond to any questions or issues i may have had. Looking forward to future trips to the property!
Natalie’s property was the perfect family getaway from the city. We really enjoyed walking out the front door to fishing, canoeing, and nature walks with the kids. Saw plenty of wildlife (deer, beaver, ducks, turtles, etc.) right on the property. The cabin was very clean and well appointed with cooking and cleaning essentials. The only things that weren’t apparent from the listing were that the third bedroom is only accessible through the studio bedroom, and the owner had to come pickup a liability waiver in person. Mentioning for other traveler planning purposes.
This was a multi-generational family trip. This property provided a lot of space to stretch out. We really enjoyed the huge family room with the ping pong table. The lake (with canoe) was awesome. Everyone was able to catch fish! We would come here again - very quiet and peaceful.
We had a group of 6 in town to visit family living in Palestine, a 20 minute drive away. We hosted a birthday party, watched Saturday football, and ate in every meal! The property more than adequately held our family group of 11 for our gatherings. Sleeping arrangements were more than adequate. I suspect the house would sleep 12, maybe more, people comfortably. The house is very much like a cabin. My kids said it felt like going to camp! The owner was tuned in to our every need, making our stay very comfortable. Thanks Nataliya!!

Good and Bad
We had a wonderful birthday weekend for my husband's 70th. There were some wonderful things about the property, pros and cons.Location -- wonderful! Secluded county estate, but close to Jacksonville and Palestine.Things to Do -- We fished daily from the pond. The younger members went kayaking on Lake Palestine. We all enjoyed the ping-pong table. There is also a volleyball net, but no volleyball in sight.Check-in -- Very stressful. The owner would not give the gate and door codes until noon on the day of check-in. Since we live 3 hours away, I wasn't able to tell my other two parties the specific information until AFTER they had started the journey. Then, the owner showed up about 5:30 to pick up the liability release. That made me see how distrustful she was of us. At midnight, my granddaughter was awakened by a car, shining its lights on the house. She was actually frightened that someone had breached the gate and was coming for us. I'm sure it was the property owner. But, really? Supplies: The kitchen was great. Everything we needed. We were told not to use the garbage disposal. Well, why have one? (It worked fine.) The towels were thin and old. It took us lots of looking to find the extras. No washcloths! No tissue boxes. We went to town to get those, plus more toilet paper. Features: The master bedroom and all the baths have lots of built-in shelves. Perfect for a traveler! I loved this feature. There were lots of great beds, so the teenagers didn't have to share.
I cannot say enough, good things about this host and house! We stayed in this beautiful, huge, seasonally decorated, comfortable house for a long weekend in order to take our Polar Express train ride in Palestine, Texas. Our host was extremely gracious and attentive and kind. There were seven adults,1 teenager, and 4 young children in our group. We were all incredibly comfortable and happy. The game room was open and beautiful, and the kids enjoyed “exploring” and nature walks (supervised) while the adults enjoyed extremely comfortable beds and futons as well as cooking and sharing early holiday fun as a family! The quiet, privacy in a peaceful country setting also made for some awesome stargazing! 10 stars!
Kitchen could have been better stocked with cooking utensils. Wrong filters for coffee maker. Not enough paper towels. Upstairs could have been cleaner. Spider webs near beds. My brother-in-law killed a brown recluse spider downstairs. Just a suggestion; each bathroom should be stocked with soap and shampoo. Only one stand up shower. Drawers broken in kitchen and by coffee maker.
Our family enjoys the peace, quiet, and beauty that comes with country living. Cozy Retreat provided all of that and more. The grandkids enjoyed fishing in the pond and our grandson caught his first bass! Natalia, the host, checked in advance to make sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Kudos to Cozy Retreat!
Had a great time, once again! Everything was even better with the new upgrades that Nataliya had added. I Always look forward to coming back to spend a few days. Thanks again, for everything Nataliya!
Property overall is beautiful.
Enjoyed the kitchen for cooking with family.
Communication with Owner was always prompt.

The cabin was really nice and well decorated
My family and friends had a great time there, Nataliya was so nice and accomidating. It was very peaceful and loved the fishing...I would've given it 5 stars, but the only negative things were the lack of wifi and a good phone signal...other than that it was great...looking forward to going back.

Awesome vacation and get away !!
Came with a group of 8 and it was a very awesome time we had . The fish were biting well, plenty of room to rest and lots of land to explore and have fun!! Super clean place !! A must see .. I would recommend people of all ages to take the chance to visit and vacation here !
I've been coming to this cabin every year for my birthday since 2015 and I've had a great time every year. The owner, Nataliya, has been so accommodating and just a great host each time. I always look forward to going back...the fishing is always good and haven't had a bad time yet.
We had a great time, there were 12 of us and the house was perfect. Plenty of room for everyone and everything was clean. Nataliya was a great host, always responded to all my questions in less than 10 minutes. The kids enjoyed so much they wanted to stay longer, we are definitely planning to come back soon.
This is the second time staying on this property. We had so much fun. The house clean and very comfortable. Nataliya was very accommodating, and the communication with her before, during and after our stay was excellent.
My colleagues and I were in town for business and decided to stay here so we could enjoy Mother Nature and have time to work together after client meetings in the evenings and over the weekend. Our husbands joined us for the weekend, and we all had a wonderful time! Nataliya was kind, responsive, and accommodating! :)
