East Texas Cabins and Nature-Inspired AirBnBs
Lake Tawakoni - Architectural Beauty in the Woods - A super classy tribute to one of the greatest architects, just 20 miles from Lake Tawakoni State Park. “The one bedroom Wright House is fashioned after the iconic Frank Lloyd Wright’s signature architecture. The straight lines, art deco design, and stain glass work are wonderful throwbacks to a bygone era.”
Village Creek State Park - Naturalist Boudoir on POINT - I’m obsessed. This is a wildly cool place to stay anywhere, but even cooler nestled next to the Big Thicket National Preserve and Village Creek State Park. “High ceilings, huge windows, one of a kind rock tub with infinity edge in center of cabin. Outdoor hot tub and outdoor shower. Splendid views of waterway and sunrise. Floating dock and deck for fishing.”
Caddo Lake State Park - The structures in this swampy paradise were built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps. They converted U.S. Army barracks into the nine historic cabins you can stay in today. Google reviews rave about how clean and comfortable they are. Book them here to enjoy a night under pine trees close to the only natural lake in Texas.
