    Cozy Lake Front Cabin for Romantic Getaway or a Family Vacation

    #sunsetcabintx

    The best kept secret in East Texas! Lake Murvaul is located ten miles southwest of Carthage on Murvaul Creek in the Sabine River basin in Panola County. Lake Murvaul is an excellent largemouth bass fishery, producing bass over 8 lbs. Channel catfish and crappie are present in high numbers and provide excellent opportunities for anglers. Sunfish can be harvested at certain times of the year.

    Sunset Cabin is a newly remodeled 950 sq ft cottage on the lake. Set on nearly an acre of towering pines, this charming home has new appliances, flooring, furniture, linens, and electronics.

    Lounge on our large deck or one of our many hammocks and watch the sunset across the water. Relax next to the fire pit and cook some smores or play outdoor games like ladder golf, Lawn darts, giant Connect 4, volleyball, croquet, Kan Jam, or corn hole in the spacious back yard.

    Enjoy swimming and fishing from our two-story dock or launch your boat at the nearby marina. You can always paddle our kayaks or try your skills on our inflatable paddle board!

    The sleeping arrangements are cozy and comfortable with a queen bed in the extra bedroom, a queen-sized bed in the master bedroom and a fold out queen sofa sleeper. The master is also equipped with a beautiful view of the lake and blackout curtains to help you get a little more rest in the morning. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans, appliances, spices and all of the dishes and silverware you could ever use. You can also play grill master and fire up the new gas grill (propane is provided).

    Our cottage is located on an area of open water and is only 2.5 miles from Lake Murvaul Marina where you can access swim areas, grab a bite to eat, load up on bait or utilize the free boat ramp. It is also conveniently located 13 miles from Carthage and an hour from Shreveport, Longview and Nacogdoches. The house sits on almost an acre of land with plenty of trees and privacy. We have a large deck, central A/C, open floor plan, comfortable living area and 2 bedrooms. The large yard also has a fire pit with beautiful view of the lake. The dock is a great place to fish with the provided fishing equipment, but also has great access to open water for skiing, tubing and boating.

    Cell phone service is also not always reliable, but we have wi-fi. Although an inconvenience at first, it really is a blessing in disguise, as you get the chance to truly disconnect and enjoy the peace being near the water brings. Enjoy the giant TV and DVD player in the living room with your favorite movies or choose a movie from our library!

    We were down for a family reunion. I can not say enough nice things about this property. Everything was 5 star. If I had a complaint it would be that all the clocks were set to 5 o'clock. If you know ya know. I would definitely recommend!

    Cabin Life!
    Ashley could not have been more welcoming. The cabin was adorably decorated for Christmas. There was coffee, condiments and a decent spicerack. All of the cookware, dishes and towles you could need. We did not utilize the lake or firepit (with it being 30° and rainy it was not an option). I do have to warn anyone that is short, you may need a stool to get into bed 😉. We already have plans to return. Thank you so much Ashley!

    Cute and cozy Lake cottage.
    We enjoyed the accommodations; we had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable while visiting her family in the area. The cottage is adorably decorated and very tidy. We would definitely stay here again! The only reason I give it four stars on check in- is due to the lockbox situation for key access. I think a better solution would be a keyless deadbolt system for entry and security. Overall five stars!

    This is the cutest place. Decorated so well. From the moment you walk in, you feel like your at home. So many things at the house for your enjoyment and use. Right on the lake with a fantastic view. Not sure what more one could want. The owners were very responsive to all my questions and so friendly.

    Awesome getaway
    Great place to relax, enjoy the lake, and forget about the grind for a while. The house has everything needed and then some. Host was very communicative and answered any questions swiftly. The property was the perfect place to enjoy the lake. Paddle boats, kayaks, outdoor games, great 2 story dock. Fishing for catfish was decent. Loved laying in the hammock on the dock and counting the stars. We will be back.
