Wonderful 13 Acre East Texas Getaway near Canton on 3 Stocked Ponds!

13 Acre Retreat an hour outside of Dallas with 3 Fishing Ponds stocked with Bass, Blue Gill, Catfish and Crappie! Secluded and quite, yet only 10 miles to Canton and First Monday Trade Days. Fish from the private balcony (catch and release), make a roaring camp fire in the fire pit, take the Jon boat out on the large ponds, bird watch, star gaze, play horseshoes, or just relax and take in the nature. Antique and art shopping in nearby Canton and other charming cities like Ben Wheeler and Edom (with its thriving art community).

Charming cabin reminiscent of an old schoolhouse can sleep up to 8 guests on 2 floors. First floor has a separate bedroom with queen bed and queen size pullout sofa, as well as private bath with shower, spacious living room with tv, and fully stocked kitchen. Upstairs is accessed through a separate outside entrance for another family or teenage kids, and also includes a private bedroom with king bed, queen size pull out sofa, private bath with tub, stocked kitchen and large living space with large screen tv.

Pet friendly for an additional fee ($30/nt). Please make sure you pet is properly vaccinated and has flea/tick protection.

Only 1 hour from Dallas.

Great place to stay
House is clean and beautiful. The pier is a great place to fishing. We got 9 sun fish in 1 hour. Fish is small so we released them.

Vacation in Eustace
We had a very enjoyable and relaxing time and appreciate that we were able to bring our dogs with us. It was so much fun seeing their reactions to the woods and ponds while hiking around with them. Fishing right off the deck to the cabin was great for my wife with her limited mobility and we could have caught as many as we wanted. It is a beautiful property which I have visited before and will visit again in the future

Love the cabin.
Hey Russ, Thanks for letting my wife and I stay at the cabin this weekend. We had a wonderful time as always and will be back. Only note just for info not complaining as we had the upstairs. I guess due to the power outage maybe the doors or windows were opened. There was an abundance of flies downstairs and just wanted to share as a heads up. We shifted to upstairs and were perfectly fine just wanted you to know I had the house secure and I guess those little pest got in before our arrival.

Country setting just outside of town. Girls weekend to attend Trade Days and it was exactly what we wanted! Morning coffee on the deck overlooking the small lake, games inside during a storm, it was great! Rebooked for next year!

Really enjoyed our 2-night stay at The Schoolhouse
Really enjoyed our 2-night stay at The Schoolhouse. The cabin was very well equipped for a rental. We usually come well prepared, but I will say that there was everything you need already there which we really appreciated. We used the outdoor fire ring multiple times, we used the Weber charcoal grill, and the outdoor seating. The AC worked fine and the beds were more comfortable than your typical rental cabin. We also fished (bank and row boat) and we walked around the grounds. The fishing was tough - mostly some really small 8-10IN bass from all 3 ponds. If you stay in the schoolhouse, you'll have neighbors staying across the pond, but as long as your neighbors are well mannered and observe quiet hours, then you'll experience plenty of peace and quiet. I don't hesitate to recommend and I would stay again.

Canton Trip
Visited Canton Market Days - Property manager was great. Cleaning crew could of did a little better, old coffee grinds in coffee maker and dirty wash clothes in shower, and hair in the bath tub upstairs. If staying and needing more than 1 bedroom the upstairs has no stair up from the inside, only outside. But was great for what we needed - just a place to stay after shopping all day long.

Great Hideaway Weekend
We spent the weekend at the red schoolhouse cabin while attending the Canton First Monday swap meet. The cabin and grounds were a nice respite to the hustle and bustle of the swap meet. We walked the grounds, built a fire under the starlit skies and slept soundly in the quiet solitude of the cabin. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Peaceful and surrounded by nature
We loved our time at whispering Duck. We loved sitting out on the two decks, the breeze off the pond, walking the trails, grilling and saw many birds including Whispering Ducks, a Blue Heron, hawks, and a big ole turtle! It was the perfect peaceful location to recharge and unwind. The accommodations were clean and comfortable! We grilled and cooked inside when a storm rolled through. Listening to the rain and thunder we saw Mother Nature! We’ll definitely come back! Also checked out East Texas Arboretum and Botanical Society in Athens and walked their 2 miles of trails. Gorgeous.
