A rustic stone cottage, a quiet retreat, a romantic getaway - whatever you call it, it's a little piece of heaven nestled in the tall trees of East Texas. It's so close to the Texas State Railroad you can hear the gentle call of the steam whistle. A 4-acre lake is just waiting for you to reel in your bass, or perhaps you'd like to help your son or daughter enjoy catching their first sunfish or crappie on a cane pole from the available pier. There's even a mini-pontoon peddle boat for exploring the lake or for another way to catch the "big one"! Bird Cottage is well named because of all the various species of birds native to the area that as bird lovers we often enjoy, so don't forget your binoculars and camera if you are a bird watcher, too. If you just want to escape all the noise, traffic and bustle of the city and need to recharge your batteries, then relax on the soft cushions of the metal gliders under porch fans with a gentle breeze blowing through your hair and with a good book in your hand and a wine glass nearby, or oversleep in the cozy bedroom until the birds wake you to another wonderful day. You'll feel at home when you breathe in the fresh pine scented air should you decide to take a stroll on the grounds or even jog to the end of the 1-mile county road and back. Participating in local activities and festivals, taking a one-hour trip to Canton for First Monday antique and curio shopping, or picking up fresh produce from local farmer's markets may just be what you’re longing to do, and Bird Cottage can be your starting point for those adventures and more. However you decide you’d like to spend your time here, we’ll do our best to make your stay as care free and special as possible. And, if you have a special request, just ask. Now what are you waiting for? Let’s start making memories! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 20 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: This is a strict NO SMOKING property. ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the city center - Near a hospital - On a lake ### Things to do - Bicycles - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Water tubing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Bicycles - Garden - Unit size: 900 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91790000/91782000/91781939/60627623.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Inviting 100-yr-old updated & roomy cottage w/deck Palestine - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Toys/games 10 Exceptional 11 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=91781939&PinnedHotelID=91781939&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18980000/18978200/18978108/0ae7fb85.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### COZY RETREAT!
