If some time in nature is just what the doctor ordered, you’ll love the charming and scenic town of Wills Point – and the best cabin rental in Wills Point, Texas. This gorgeous cabin is just minutes away from the beautiful Lake Tawakoni State Park and the world-famous First Monday Trade Days in the neighboring town of Canton. Surrounded by acres of lush forestland, a private fishing pond, and a luxurious hot tub, the cabin has everything you need for a relaxing getaway. Take off an extra day for the flea market, and enjoy the long weekend of your dreams.
Just an hour from the bustling DFW Metroplex, Wills Point is a charming small town with a rich history, friendly locals, and beautiful surroundings.
The cabin, called "Beaver Run," is surrounded by towering trees and features its very own three-acre pond stocked with bass. There are also 1.5 miles of hiking trails on the property.
Guests can enjoy an upper and lower deck, both offering expansive views of the forested landscape. I would spend every morning of my stay out here, leisurely sipping my coffee and reveling in the sounds of nature.
...and there is a large common area with two lofted twin beds, another queen bed, and an air mattress. The cabin has 1.5 baths, one of which features a luxurious, walk-in shower.
The kitchen has all of the appliances, cookware, and dishes necessary to make mealtime memorable. The cedar slab dining table (as well as several other features in the home) is made from actual trees on the property - what a way to connect to nature while you eat!
After a long day of exploring, enjoy a relaxing soak in your own private hot tub. Boasting views of the trees and the pond, this is the ultimate forest bathing experience.
