Mermaid Lake House - Arcridgeranchresort.com

Lovely two-bedroom lake house overlooking the private 20-acre lake on a 300-acre ranch. Watch the sunset from the covered wrap around porch. There are various trails through pasturese, woods, around the large lake, and to a smaller lake hidden in the woods. Fish from wooden piers, paddle boats, or your own human powered watercraft. There is a pavilion, used by Boy Scouts, that may be reserved for weddings, family reunions, gatherings or church events. Ring cameras are around ranch work shed area. High speed internet provided.

Paradise by the pond
If you’re headed to East Texas or you just need a great place to say owned by some really great people. Don’t look any further just book a place here my boy and I fished all day one day barbecued for Friends that evening. The owners are awesome and they’re on site, the cabin was clean and beautiful. This is exactly what we needed. It’s way out there, but it’s quiet and nice and exactly what we were looking for.

Last Minute Planned Stay....excellent experience
Due to bad weather that had gone through the Canton earlier in the day that left our rental with some clean up needed and with no power, we needed to find another place to stay. I searched VRBO for other locations close and messaged about Mermaid. I received a very quick response. The host had the cabin cleaned for us very quickly and we were able to stay there the same night. We had no idea we would wake up the next morning to such a beautiful lake view. Thanks so much for being willing and able to get the cabin ready for us quickly so we didn't miss our Girl's Trip to Canton. This would be a great place for a family or friend gathering with multiple cabins available. Thanks again, Rhonda

Disappointed
Location/property was beautiful and peaceful. Unfortunately the cabin was dirty. Food left in fridge and nasty, dirty dishes in cabinet, floors were dirty, bathtubs were dirty. I was very skeptical about laying in the bed after seeing everything that I requested to wash sheets, manager came out with new sheets and removed food in fridge. Other than the dirty cabin and the 2 dogs that were loose and jumping on you the whole time, the view of the lake was beautiful.

Quiet Getaway, Simple
This place was very out-of-the-way. It was quiet and peaceful with a great view. Unfortunately it needed some updating (broken dishwasher, wifi went in and out, one of the stove burners didn't work).

Enjoyed our stay
We enjoyed our trip to first Monday Trade Days. The cabin was adequate but needs some repairs. The dishwasher wasn’t working & water poured out around the sink facet. The yard was full of ants. The beds were great. Please beware that cell service can be tricky & internet is not the best. It is a drive from Canton but we were ok with that. Overall, it was ok just not for the amount you pay.

Great get-away!
We so enjoyed our weekend get-away at this property! We were shopping during the day in Canton, and relaxing in the evenings at this cabin/home. A big storm blew through and we lost electricity for a short while, but we still really enjoyed the property by candlelight. Highly recommend the stay here.

Property was the perfect location for our getaway. It was convenient to Canton Trade Days and gave us the best downtime to unwind. The lake was absolutely gorgeous at sunrise and sunset. My husband and I will miss our morning coffee with that view! We loved it and are already planning to stay again.

Chill and Unwind
Great place to relax and unwind! We loved the trails and the lake! One thing to note was there was no cabin rules listed anywhere and no wifi password anywhere. Since there is no reception making it impossible to reach management we went without wifi. But in reality it meant more quality time with the kiddos!

We booked this property in order to safely evacuate from Hurricane Ida with our family and pet. The host has been so wonderful and understanding during this difficult time. The kids and men loved fishing on the lake in the paddle boats. Great quiet place to stay.

We loved the cabin, the amazing front porch, and the water view. We had some great downtime at the cabin and enjoyed getting over to Lake Athens for kayaking which is a very short drive. Amazing Property, great location, and fantastic host.

Great Getaway
We picked this spot as we wanted a secluded, calming getaway where our dogs can run around. The house was perfect, it was great to be able to sit on the porch and hang by the water. I was a bit upset that there were other properties very close by but it wasn't a big deal I just wish I knew prior to booking, everything worked out though. I believe there was a farm dog (not verified though) that was running around the property. The dog is super friendly but if you chose to bring your dogs and they aren't so friendly this might not be the best place. There was a cute little farm right behind the house, which was so great. The directions to find the house are not accurate, it says to find the house with a yellow porch but this house was red. Overall, it was a great experience and we will definitely be returning.

We loved our weekend at the Mermaid cabin. It was so nice having coffee on the porch and gazing at the lake. We really enjoyed disconnecting from electronics and reconnecting with nature and each other. If your looking for a peaceful getaway this is the spot!
