Host awarded with "Tyler Short term rental named No. 1 in Tyler Area for 2018". The Enchanted Cottage, a Rustic/Modern cabin built on a fairly steep slope under a canopy of towering hardwood trees w/ Waterview of Lake Palestine. We custom built w/ local woods: cypress, cedar, white & red oak, & pine. Look for the Bald Eagle on the porch. 0ur theme is interesting places out of classic films. On her first visit, my mother suggested the name from the Classic film-The Enchanted Cottage 1945.
Enchanted Cottage porch has the feel of a treehouse with a canopy of timber towering all around it. Great views for morning coffee & looking for bald eagles! The loft bedroom is built for romance with a king size bed & a high ceiling with fairy lights:) The Cabin is perfect for romantic getaways. What makes it unique is the compact luxury/roughness. Come see to understand. It is ideal for couples, but can accommodate a small family. It is a small space for more than 2 adults. D
Cable TV and ground internet are not available here in the woods. We have limited jetpack WiFI for use.
Come to unplug and enjoy the Romance, Nature , and Beautiful outdoors!
This is not the Best place for TV and Streaming:)
