As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
Whether you like ‘glamping’ or old-fashioned roughin’ it, you’ll enjoy Deer Lake Cabins. The next time you find yourself deep in East Texas, consider booking a cabin at this nostalgic ranch that has the best of both worlds: the vintage charm that goes along with log cabins and all the modern amenities necessary for a luxury, unforgettable vacation.
Whether the occasion is a family vacation or romantic weekend getaway with your better half, one of the 15 different available cabins is sure to suit your needs. This one in particular, the Buffalo Bunk Lake House, is a two bed/two bath and sleeps up to six people.
Each cabin is unique in style and furnishings, so no two experiences are alike. That means if you make Deer Lake an annual trip, it'll seem like you're going somewhere entirely new each time!
"Roughing it" isn't something you'll have to worry about here - although us Texans aren't opposed to the idea. Regardless, it's nice to camp in luxury occasionally, and you'll get the best of both worlds: the peace and solitude of nature with all the amenities of a five-star hotel.
Many of the cabins are situated directly on the lake for immediate access, and there are also shared decks where you can mingle with other guests. I can't picture a more relaxing morning than sipping a cup of coffee here while watching the sun come up behind the towering Pineywoods.
There are so many activities to participate in that you'll never have to leave the ranch! Horseback and pony rides, various sports, hiking, biking, hay rides, and even an escape room are just several of the numerous family-friendly fun things to do.
Water activities abound on the beautiful Deer Lake. You can swim, ride pedal boats or kayaks, fish, and even do paddle board yoga! You might think you have good balancing skills until you try doing a headstand on a 2-foot wide platform.
One of the best parts of staying here is the gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. They're breathtaking no matter where you are in Texas, but something about being way out in the country and surrounded by wilderness just makes them that much better.
So if you've been racking your brain thinking of somewhere new to take the family this year, look no further than Deer Lake Cabins. It's a camping experience unlike any you've ever had before.
