The outdoor space begs you to come out and play! The resort pool is wonderful on a hot summer day. Although the pool is not heated, the hot tub is available for use year-round! There is a great selection of outdoor yard games like Cornhole, Giant Jenga, and Ping Pong.

POND
There is a pond on the property, and cattle that enjoy that space. You are free to wet a hook, but please be CERTAIN to close the gate and latch the chain if you go to the pond.

Guest Access:

Guest parking is to the right and left side yards, the circle drive, and the concrete garage approach.
Host parking is to the left side lane toward the back of the house. Please do not block.

Guests may access the main house, with access through the front door, not the garage.

There is no garage access, and there is no access to the workshop in the pool building, as these spaces are used for storage and equipment.

Guests may access the back yard south side yard, and pool area. Beyond the north privacy fence is the property host area. We ask that guests not access the north side of the property beyond the privacy fence. Host, if present, will give guests complete privacy, but will be available in case of question or emergency.

Guests may have access to the pond, but watch for our country critters that say ssssssssss----< - there are cattle that have access to the pond area, so if you access it, it is imperative that you close and fasten the gate.

Interaction with Guests: There will be no personal guest interaction, unless requested by the guest.

The host may be available, based on scheduling.

There are separate private host/owners quarters attached to the garage of the cabin. If the host is on property, this is where she will stay. It has it's own private entrance. For this reason, please do not park in the lane next to the concrete garage approach (lane is marked), as this is the lane to the back of the host quarters, as well as private host camping area.

Other Things to Note:

Kitchen is fully-equipped.

Fantastic Place!
We had an awesome stay and Julie was an awesome hostess! The place was beautiful! The kitchen was fully stocked. We were looking to see if there was an air fryer for our leftovers and she said no but wanted to get one. The next morning she had ordered one and it was on the front porch! She answered every question without any delay. It was a 5 star stay!

About the host

Hosted by Julie L. Wright

Host profile image
We are a homeschool family with two children of eleven still at home. We have nine grandchildren and one on the way! We love this home - we built it with our own hands from 2005 to 2007. The kids do the grounds-keeping and cleaning of the property to help them learn to work hard and do a good job. We would love to share our home with you!

Please note - There is an attached apartment, accessible through the garage. If we are on property, we will be staying there. We do not bother guests, but we are accessible if needed.

Why they chose this property

We love our home. Having built it ourselves, it holds a special place in our hearts. It is in the quaint little town of Canton, Texas. We are close enough to Dallas to enjoy a day in the city, yet far enough out to see the bright stars at night in the dark country sky. We love the area, the people, the feel, and the atmosphere of Canton. We hope you come to love it, too.
