About this property
Hilltop Hideaway -1500+ sq/ft home - views of private lake on 42 beautiful acres
The Hilltop Hideaway, known as "The Hill" in our family, is a cherished, special place where so many great family memories have been made. The Hill is situated on 42 beautiful, East Texas acres overlooking a 4 acre, stocked private pond. The pond is stocked with perch and bass. The elevated deck is a perfect spot to enjoy the beautiful scenery any time of the day, but is a special place in the evening when the sun is setting! Feel free to explore the 4+ miles of trails, enjoy a game of horseshoes, sit with family down by the pond and experience the beauty of East Texas!

This wooded property was beautiful, with a cozy home and a pond/lake. The home owners provided bottled water in the fridge. Also, there was a box of laundry detergent in the laundry room. We enjoyed our stay in this nicely furnished home!
We absolutely loved the property and the owners were kind, courteous and responsive to any questions that we asked. We were looking forward to a quiet stay in the country and this property fit the bill. The next time we are in the area we will definitely choose to stay here.
House was great. Very cozy, huge deck to hang out on. Caught a few fish in the pond. Hiked some trails Overall it was awesome, great if you need to get away from the city to relax.
Best view! Great outdoor space for my kids to run around and experience the “country living”. We will definitely be booking for our next trip. Hopefully in the spring or summer to be able to enjoy the pond
Little trouble with the lock box.....the house needs more mirrors when several ladies stay! Overall it was a beautiful home with plenty of room we will be booking it again!!!! Thank you
Home is very cozy, clean, and perfect place if you’re headed to Canton. Very relaxing after a long day of shopping. Bummed we couldn’t be at the house more. Amazing deck and walking trails. Highly recommend this place. Great communication with property owners.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The property was perfect! Cabin is so welcoming and stocked with all amenities. View in the back is very nice. 2 decks out back that were so relaxing. We enjoyed the Canton First Monday Trade Days weekend. It's an easy drive from this property. Nice small town of Mineola nearby with shops and restaurants. Would stay again...we will be back!
House was very nice, I loved the isolated location of the property and the security of being inside a gate. One slight negative is the narrow and tight spacing for those like me who are on a fishing trip and pulling a boat, but other than that it was perfect.
Amazing place to walk around in the trails. Loved the attentiveness of owners and it was just the perfect getaway for a weekend with my mom. Will be staying here again, definitely.
The house and property were located close to the ranch we were visiting. House was very clean with comfortable beds. We spent a lot of time on the awesome deck!
It was a beautiful place to get away! We enjoyed our time on the back deck visiting, hiking and relaxing. This was such a special place for families to reconnect!
Close enough to trade days but far enough from everything to really relax..I lived on the back porch lol.. Wonderful

Seeing the doe and her 2 fawns down at the dam when we arrived was the perfect start to a wonderful stay. It was very comfortable and everything we needed and more was there. We booked this accomodation for its location during the total solar eclipse and it did not disappoint. 🌞🌘
2 Friends and I stayed for 3 nights to attend First Monday in Canton. This property is about 20 miles away, very easy drive. I would definitely recommend especially if you like to hang out at home in the evenings and maybe do some grilling. Awesome outdoor space. The 3 of us would definitely return.
We enjoyed getting away from the hustle and bustle of it all. We wished the weather was a bit warmer so we could enjoy more of the outdoors, but no one can control that. It is what it is.
This property was beautiful! Cozy on the inside with seating on an upper and lower deck leading to a stocked pond. Our family had just as much fun fishing the pond as they did fishing at Lake Fork! Josh responded quickly and answered all our questions! We will definitely be returning!
