Relaxing Country Getaway

Natalie’s property was the perfect family getaway from the city. We really enjoyed walking out the front door to fishing, canoeing, and nature walks with the kids. Saw plenty of wildlife (deer, beaver, ducks, turtles, etc.) right on the property. The cabin was very clean and well appointed with cooking and cleaning essentials. The only things that weren’t apparent from the listing were that the third bedroom is only accessible through the studio bedroom, and the owner had to come pickup a liability waiver in person. Mentioning for other traveler planning purposes.

Great Country Retreat

Great weekend getaway from the Dallas area. The property is large and wooded with plenty of walkable terrain. The house has a lot of entertaining areas and a great kitchen. The host was responsive and helpful and I’m sure we will be back for a longer stay next time.

Gorgeous Scenery!

My colleagues and I were in town for business and decided to stay here so we could enjoy Mother Nature and have time to work together after client meetings in the evenings and over the weekend. Our husbands joined us for the weekend, and we all had a wonderful time! Nataliya was kind, responsive, and accommodating! :)

Palestine

This was a multi-generational family trip. This property provided a lot of space to stretch out. We really enjoyed the huge family room with the ping pong table. The lake (with canoe) was awesome. Everyone was able to catch fish! We would come here again - very quiet and peaceful.

Great place to spend with family.

We had a great time, there were 12 of us and the house was perfect. Plenty of room for everyone and everything was clean. Nataliya was a great host, always responded to all my questions in less than 10 minutes. The kids enjoyed so much they wanted to stay longer, we are definitely planning to come back soon.

Good and Bad

We had a wonderful birthday weekend for my husband's 70th. There were some wonderful things about the property, pros and cons.Location -- wonderful! Secluded county estate, but close to Jacksonville and Palestine.Things to Do -- We fished daily from the pond. The younger members went kayaking on Lake Palestine. We all enjoyed the ping-pong table. There is also a volleyball net, but no volleyball in sight.Check-in -- Very stressful. The owner would not give the gate and door codes until noon on the day of check-in. Since we live 3 hours away, I wasn't able to tell my other two parties the specific information until AFTER they had started the journey. Then, the owner showed up about 5:30 to pick up the liability release. That made me see how distrustful she was of us. At midnight, my granddaughter was awakened by a car, shining its lights on the house. She was actually frightened that someone had breached the gate and was coming for us. I'm sure it was the property owner. But, really? Supplies: The kitchen was great. Everything we needed. We were told not to use the garbage disposal. Well, why have one? (It worked fine.) The towels were thin and old. It took us lots of looking to find the extras. No washcloths! No tissue boxes. We went to town to get those, plus more toilet paper. Features: The master bedroom and all the baths have lots of built-in shelves. Perfect for a traveler! I loved this feature. There were lots of great beds, so the teenagers didn't have to share.

This property worked out great for our group!

We had a group of 6 in town to visit family living in Palestine, a 20 minute drive away. We hosted a birthday party, watched Saturday football, and ate in every meal! The property more than adequately held our family group of 11 for our gatherings. Sleeping arrangements were more than adequate. I suspect the house would sleep 12, maybe more, people comfortably. The house is very much like a cabin. My kids said it felt like going to camp! The owner was tuned in to our every need, making our stay very comfortable. Thanks Nataliya!!

Realist review Pro's and Con's - Owner needs coaching on customer service

Pro's -Owner was very responsive every time we messaged even late past midnight -The ONLY property available for the amount of people we had stay (14 - 7 adults, 1 teenager, 6 kids all seven and under) -Plenty of space and beds for a large group -Secluded -Comfortable beds and pillows -Was able to maintain the temperature at a low degree downstairs (i like it cool so this was very important) Cons -Description says they keep the property "Immaculate". This couldn't have been further from the truth. Dead bugs in almost every light fixture. Vent filters looked like they hadn't been replaced in a few years. They had layers of filth on them. -Leftover trash included: razor blade in the shelving unit in the wall that was in the kitchen next to the fridge, mcdonalds cup and straw in the cupboard, leftover baby chew toy under bed upstairs, plastic wrapping on banister upstairs as well as dead bugs behind beds. -Upstairs thermostat has lock box. Owner came over once and turned it down upon request but left it on "auto" and not "on". She never came back to adjust when she said she would. -Owner requires you to sign a waiver upon arrival, even wanted the 2-3 year old names (odd IMO). -wifi very unreliable (understandable in the area) -no smoke alarms or inoperable. -listing mentions access to balcony but the door is blocked by a couch/listing says can't move furniture -no hot water in downstairs shower (also very short) -other 2 "showers" are more like tubs with a shower wand -dust and cobwebs very much present especially upstairs Owner was pleasant at first but as soon as I expressed my concern with the cleanliness, wifi not working, hot air she said if I wasn't happy then why don't I just go somewhere else. She said "you said the property was nice when you first got there". I arrived, scanned the place, and left to get groceries. Came back and unpacked then started noticing the details. She also thought it was normal for a door to still open from the inside when it was locked. We had kids and this concerned us. They did say they would be willing to replace it but we told them not to worry about it and we just put the freezer in front so no kids could get out. She said the hot water was a maintenance issue and wouldn't be able to be resolved until after the weekend. When I told her about the wifi not working she said it was working fine when she was there. Much more could be said but this only allows so many characters.

Overall Nice, Peaceful, Secluded Getaway

The massive private property allowed us to enjoy quiet natural surroundings, and there was plenty of comfortable space for everyone. The home could use some updates; central heat & A/C, lighting, bathrooms need actual showers instead of tubs with handheld sprayer (extremely difficult to shower if you're over 48" tall), drainage upstairs almost doesn't work. If the home was pristine and upgraded we would stay here over and over and over again.

Family Fun

Ten members of our family stayed in this spacious house. We had a blast! Nataliya, our host, couldn’t have been nicer. We asked if there was a blender and a fan for the upstairs; she said no and then bought us both. She was accommodating for all our requests and shared fun things for us to do. The kitchen was well equipped and there were beds for 12. I loved that our grandkids had their own space and kitchen upstairs. We played lots of ping pong and all my grandkids loved exploring the property.

Amazing cabin in the woods!!

First, I would like to say that Nataliya is an amazing host and very attentive to any needs you may have during your stay. Her home that she opened up to families is incredible. It reminded me of my grandparents cabin in New Mexico. Surrounded by huge trees and nostalgic items throughout the inside. There are the modern amenities people want, TVs, Wi-Fi upon request, etc., but why would you want those with the entire beautiful property right outside the front door. Fishing was good, only for my son because he was the only one with a catch, but it was peaceful and so relaxing down by the lake. This place is exactly what you need if getting away from the insanity of suburban life is what you are seeking. Look no further than this place.
