Beautiful, peaceful, and lovely stay!

Stayed for an anniversary, and it was wonderful! Gorgeous and clean, and the view was right over the pond. Wildlife watching and sitting around the fire pit were wonderful, and we were close enough to Rockwall and Terrell to eat or shop. The host was attentive but gave us plenty of privacy. Thank you so much!

Peaceful

Peaceful weekend spent at The Twig. Decor is beautiful and property is magical first thing in the morning- the view from the king bed is rare and beautiful! We enjoyed the fire pit and the abundance of wildlife we saw while sitting on the patio and drinking coffee. The Twig is equipped with everything you need for a getaway- and the space is so cozy with thoughtful touches throughout. We will definitely be back.

Nature on Parade

This is a lovely place to stay. Our first morning view was a group of Ginnie Hens making their way in front of the pond. Humming birds were fluttering at the feeder and the morning view from the porch with a cup of coffee was just what we needed. The interior of the cabin is very well done, Mindy has paid great attention to the details to make you comfortable. We were in town for a short visit, but plan to return and take advantage of the trail heads and throwing a line into the pond. Thank you David and Mindy for sharing your little cabin in the woods.

Perfect Getaway

Mindy’s place was a perfect getaway. I needed a couple nights to just quietly relax. I spent time reading, fishing, and hiking on the property. It was beautiful and just what I needed. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and beautifully designed. Also check out Smoakhouse BBQ nearby, great stuff!

Time at Twig

This is a beautifully maintained property not far from Dallas. It was a great get away to relax at after the holiday and ring in the New Year! We had fun fishing, walking around trails, sitting by the fire and watching nature. We recommend this place to relax, refresh and recharge !
