Vernon, TX. Reading your favorite book on the back deck with sweeping views, fishing, or hiking in the woods, The Big Pasture will be your perfect city escape! Located only an hour and a half from Rockwall on Interstate 30, The Big Pasture Lodge is only minutes away from Lake Cypress Springs to the south and Mt. Vernon's historic town square (a Texas Treasure city) to the north. But the lodge itself will probably be your main attraction \~\~\~ featuring a great room with a cathedral ceiling spiraling 22 feet high and anchored by a gorgeous rock fireplace. The view off the back deck beckons relaxation and restoration, as nature shows off each in every season. Each bedroom is beautifully appointed, according to the theme with quality furniture and antiques. This beautiful property is a natural habitat for deer, hawks, eagles, bobcats, cows, and coyotes. There's a mosaic of natural woodlands, beautifully cleared pastures, lakes, and lots of room for exploration and hikes. Two deep creeks run through the property which usually only have a few inches of water although we have seen it rise 15 feet to overflowing after massive rains. Kids love exploring in the seclusion of nature! All kinds of birds abound, and in the distance, the cows at night sound more like Jurassic Park than the gently mooing cows in children's books! The Big Pasture is tucked away in nature but very secure. The gated entrance insures your privacy. It is simply a beautiful, natural refuge! If you're from the city, you've probably forgotten what a starry night looks like. You'll rediscover the wonder at The Big Pasture! The inspiration for The Big Pasture Lodge was Big Cedar Lodge in Branson, MO. \~\~\~ a premier wilderness resort offering sophisticated elegance in a natural setting. There's an old saying, "nothing welcomes like wood." And there's plenty of gorgeous wood at The Big Pasture, carefully crafted from a family-owned lumber mill in east Texas. The vaulted ceiling is awe-inspiring in it's cathedral effect! In fact, that's probably why several churches and Christian organizations have held planning retreats and leadership weekends here. For sure, you'll be glued to the fireplace in the winter-time and transfixed to the view on the back deck each and every season. Enjoy the fireplace on the back deck, too! Mt. Vernon, a Texas Main Street City and Texas Treasure designation, has fun shops and GREAT restaurants. The Chop House features fantastic steaks in an historic building on the square. The Bistro at M. L. Edwards, also on the square, is exquisitely perfect for lunch coupled with a little shopping, and Steve-O's Pizza packs the square almost every night of the week. You've got hours of things to do in the heart of this precious, Norman Rockwell, east Texas town. In need of some serious R and R? The Copper Leaf Spa in Winnsboro is just 15 minutes down the road, south of Mt. Vernon for another jewel in an east Texas small town. Guys, you don't want to miss the fantastic golf course at the Sulphur Springs Country Club, which you passed on your way down from Dallas! Now, the crown jewel of all east Texas (drum roll, please)... LAKE CYPRESS SPRINGS, located just 5 miles south of The Big Pasture Lodge. . Lake Cypress Springs has been designated "The Most Beautiful Recreational Lake in Texas" by D Magazine so many times that I've lost count. And it is! Gorgeous homes surround the lake and the development has been so tastefully managed that the lake still looks wooded, natural, and absolutely beyond lovely. Enjoy the outdoor dining at The Marina at Lake Cypress Springs which is super fun for parents and kids. Parker's Pizza and Vaugh's Catfish are also close-by and de-licious! You'll want to move to east Texas by the end of your stay! Book The Big Pasture Lodge, and we'll do everything we can to help you have a great "home-away" in quaint, authentic, nostalgic, yet "with-it", Mt. Vernon, Texas!

Kitty met me and gave me a tour and helpful tips. She had firewood delivered and everything we needed was available. The best hostess! We fished, walked the beautiful property, enjoyed the gorgeous view on the back deck, and cooked together in the large kitchen. The beds were comfortable and plenty of linens. This was a true getaway tucked away and private. Anyone that stays here will not be disappointed! 5 STARS! ##### Deborah R. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen O.

A much needed retreat to the piney woods, if you will. There were six in our group and there was plenty of room for us all. The place is always clean and inviting. We love visiting here with the wood finishes and details that give you a lodge feel. The back deck is a fantastic space that makes you feel like you’re far away from the big city, which is always the goal for us. We tend to spend most of our time either on the back deck taking in the view or in the kitchen area. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could possibly need, not exaggerating. The 4 bedrooms all have a bathroom, comfortable beds and are nicely decorated. Not to be forgotten, Kitty is a very sweet host and a great communicator. We had another extraordinary weekend here and look forward to returning in the future. ##### Stephen O. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leah P.

This is our favorite out of at least 25 VRBO's with 5 star ratings that we have stayed in. Our family of 5 grown children and one 12 year old gathered to honor one of our daughters having her 4th son. We had a tea/brunch for her with a few of her friends joining us. It was raining so we had the fireplace going. No one wanted to leave. It was so peaceful and comfortable. There were several amazing serving pieces and decorations available that made it the perfect gathering. We loved how the home was decorated. It honored the presence of God. The property was also breath taking. We did not see one piece of trash on our hikes. We didn't have a chance to hike all of the paths; there's a lot of them. We definitely want to go back and do this. Absolutely a wonderful experience with a great host that we'll always remember. ##### Leah P.

The back porch is fantastic! Beautiful views and the kids loved exploring outside. The inside was comfy and had plenty of room for adults to visit and kids have their own space to play. Go visit The Meat Market in town - lots of great options for the grill! We will definitely be back!!! ##### Melinda W. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cheryl I.

From the gated entry to the tree lined back porch - perfection! Kitty, the hostess, is delightful and most accommodating. If you get the chance to book this property it will undoubtedly be your favorite! ##### Cheryl I. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve B.

The setting in the splendor of God’s creation coupled with the amenities of the lodge were a gift. Grateful for a place like Big Pasture ##### Steve B.

Super comfortable. Great setting and great views. Ms. Kitty made it easy! We tried to leave the place in better shape than we found it but she also didn’t want us “fussing” over the clean up so it would be easier on us to check out. Hope to come back! ##### Justin B.

Our only regret is we didn’t stay long enough to enjoy all of the hikes around the property. The house worked wonderfully for small kids crawling and exploring. It was so nice having all the space for our family to gather and then enough bedrooms so everyone to relax too. We will definitely be back! ##### Mary Beth H.

We enjoyed great family time, plenty of successful fishing, hiking and games. The house has everything you need. We will definitely return! Kitty was very responsive to our every need. ##### Randy R.

The house was stocked so we could enjoy a fire on the cool nights. The stars outside were amazing at night. We had a chance to walk around the property more and hope to come back to explore further. Kitty is a gracious host and ensured we had everything we needed including a high chair! ##### Mary Beth H. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debbie S.

From the time you drive through the private gate you feel the tranquility of this beautiful property. The entry way is immense, the bedrooms all have their own bathroom and very comfortable beds, the kitchen is large for family cooking and the view never got old. Kitty responded quickly and sweetly to any and all of our texts. We all agree that we want to come to The Big Pasture for a longer stay! Thank you Kitty and family 💜 ##### Debbie S.
