About this property

Pine Grove Cottage - Romantic Getaway on Private Lake

  • Fully furnished cottage in the woods with backyard opening to pine trees and four acre pond. Cottage has wood floors, window air conditioners and homey furnishings. Perfect for a family retreat or a romantic getaway. Located on our 50 acre working ranch, Pine Grove Cottage is tucked away on its own corner of the property with private drive and gated entrance. A sun room runs the length of the house in the back and looks out on the pine grove and lake beyond and serves as a third bedroom. An open family room/dining/kitchen is perfect for family gatherings. Guests are free to roam the ranch property which includes expanses of wooded acreage where wildlife and birds abound. Fishing on the lake is available on a "catch and release" basis to ensure fishing remains good for future guests. Lakes are stocked with bass, catfish and bream.

    The ranch abounds with wildlife and provides a wonderful opportunity for birdwatching due to its forest and lake features. It is also in a migratory area that is home for many birds (including Bald Eagles) in the fall/winter months. Permanent bird residents are many and varied from songbirds to ducks, herons. hawks, cranes, owls, woodpeckers, and many more.

    Canoes and boats are provided for those who want to go out on the lake to fish or just relax. Located within 15 minutes of Pittsburg, Gilmer, and Winnsboro, guests can experience life in the country but enjoy the amenities of a town. In the summer, fresh peaches, blackberries and blueberries are sold at nearby orchards. Golfing, a winery and a variety of restaurants are within 15 minutes of the ranch. For those who enjoy antiques, there are many shops within 15-30 minutes of the ranch.

The Pine Grove Cottage is a great escape to enjoy being in the country and fishing a private lake! The inside is clean and beds comfortable! We caught lots of small bass, but my husband lost a couple of big ones. We enjoyed the town if Winnsboro that was close by, good restaurants and shopping! Paula is a great host and helpful through our entire stay!

Great Getaway

Highly recommend this property. Nice and quiet get away. The loft is accessible by a small ladder, so not ideal for everyone, other than that, this property is great for a family getaway. Owners are very nice and very accomodating!

Wonderful Time

Me and my wife were very happy with all areas of our trip to this property. Very peaceful, quite absolutley beautiful view from back enclosed room and back yard. If you do not like spending time in the outdoors or are looking for a high tech modern vacation this is probably not for you. But if you are looking for a comfortable ( beds very comfortable ) peaceful place to enjoy the outdoors and fishing along with a cabin set in the piney woods then THIS IS FOR you. We both loved our stay and would gladley return for another trip.

Peaceful and Relaxing

This little cabin has everything you need for a comfortable stay. If you’re a fisherman then you won’t have any problem catching fish. My husband probably caught about 30 fish over 3 days. Most were small but he did catch a 4 lb bass and 7 lb catfish. The sun porch facing the water is perfect for reading a book and enjoying the view. Beds were comfortable. We will definitely be back!!

Father’s Day Guys Trip…

My boys took their dad and grandad on a guys fishing trip for the weekend and they had an absolute blast! They said it was quiet and peaceful. The place was well stocked and comfortable. They really enjoyed the private pond and each caught 30+ bass. They said the provided breakfast food and fresh eggs were delicious. They also brought blackberries home that the owner gave to them from their garden and I made blackberry cobbler with them. They haven’t stopped talking about how much fun they had! Such a cute fun place to getaway from it all.

Repeat customer since 2015

I always love staying at Mrs. Paula Archer’s rentals. They’re always so homely and comfortable. All rooms have fantastic ceiling fans and soft furnishings. The kitchen is always equipped for normal dinners, with all the silverware and seasonings. The extensive outside area is always a plus for us, that’s why we’ll drive nearly 2 hours just to stay with her. I can’t wait to return, but I will absolutely book for more than two nights. I want to stay an entire week! I also hope to experience better weather. It was too cold to fish while we were there. Texas weather changes on a dime. Thanks again for a relaxing visit. -Mary
