Great getaway for a cabin in the woods, but close to Tyler State Park and other attractions.

Escape in the forest

Group of 7 ladies stayed here for a long shopping weekend at Canton. The outdoor fire pit was perfect. The property was artfully decorated with interesting art pieces, both outdoors and indoors. Highly recommend

Beautiful Lodge in the woods...

The Lodge was amazing and very accommodating and comfortable for our girls getaway. It is beautiful and decorated beautifully and cozy for lounging and relaxing. The only hiccup we had was the road coming in and out of the property. It is extremely rough and should be noted that a pickup or SUV is necessary for access to the lodge.

Happy Guest

My husband and I and three other friends stayed at Dragonhead while we were performing music locally. Our hosts, Kathy and Jeff, went above and beyond to accommodate us all. Our rooms were comfy and cozy with serene privacy and natural beauty all around. Kathy prepared a gorgeous breakfast ( when we asked to be served) and we had a leisurely stroll through the quiet woods. The surrounding small East Texas towns are thriving community for musicians, artists and folks just wanting to explore life in the Piney Woods. Dragonhead is a great getaway both romantic and secluded and family friendly as well. If you're lucky, you might catch some impromptu guitar pickin and singing around the big outdoor fireplace!

Beautiful cabin in a secluded spot

We booked this cute little cabin last minute after other vacation plans fell through. We had a great time! It's about equidistant between Canton and Tyler making it perfect for shoppers. There was plenty of room for the 4 of us. The owners were sweet enough to give us a s'mores kit which we took advantage of. They also offered us a scavenger hunt for our son. A few things to be aware of: 1. The road to the cabin is dirt. Make sure you take a vehicle that can make it up there. 2. The loft area is super cozy with a queen size bed and pull out futon. However there are no stairs, just a fairly steep ladder. It wasn't an issue for us but important to know for those who may have mobility issues. There is a queen size bed and twin sofa bed on the main floor. 3. Cell phones don't work well out here. But the WiFi was great! 4. There is no tv. Note this in the listing. We brought our own small tv and it worked great for us. The cabin is well stocked with pretty much all of the utensils and kitchenware that you would need. All you need to do is go to Canton or Tyler for the groceries! Make sure to enjoy the outdoor areas in the morning when it's cool in the summertime. It was beautiful!

A unique cabin!

Kathy met us at the cabin and showed us around. The cabin was perfect! We brought our two (very well trained) labs. They behaved so well and enjoyed walks on the property. We took them into Tyler for morning and evening hikes. Otherwise we relaxed at the cabin. The Internet was good, I was able to do Zoom meetings. The S’Mores kit was fun and we loved the dozen eggs from the farm next door! Kathy texted and checked in , such a gracious host! Highly recommend the cabin!

Perfect Getaway

The property is absolutely beautiful! The only sounds you hear are the crickets and the birds chirping. It is off the beaten path, but close enough to Canton and Tyler for great shopping and food. The cabin had EVERYTHING we needed. If you need a peaceful getaway, l highly recommend Dragonhead Retreat!

Must stay place for couples or family

Even my dogs enjoyed their daily trail walks and we enjoyed peace and tranquility. I even finished 3 books that I've been putting away. The only draw back was that it was too hot to light the clay fire place outside. Definitely would recommend!

ANOTHER Extraordinary adventure to relax away from the noise of our daily lives!

This is our third visit to this haven of rustic, rest and some ROMANCE!!! You can make of it what you will. Each day, even each hour offers something for the person who wants to take part in what this property has to offer. We had a wonderful time in the most excellent CABIN. Just in AWE when we walked in, then I took pictures!!! Age 50+ and I have a slight disability from an accident Dec 2015. The Cabin made me feel safe!!! When walking around, etc. as much as I do at home. And the beautiful kitchen with great appliances made things easy!!!. The porch swing, walking on the deck, coffee by windows with wonderful views, and a nip in the air during our stay made this just right! These precious personable owners are more than helpful if you need it!. It is such a cozy place, and yet there is so much room to walk around on the huge decks! With Edom nearby, there is something for everyone to do, see or buy!!! WE WILL RETURN!!!

Wedding fun

Had a great time at the Cabin. Plenty of space for our reception and very cozy. We enjoyed the wilderness and hammock area. Kathy had everything we needed there plus a basket full of smores item which was a great way to end the night. We will be back for sure! Great for our young kids ranging in age of 1 1/2-11

GREAT get-away for the whole family

This place is GREAT!!! It is VERY family friendly and the innkeepers are so sweet and welcoming. I stayed in the lodge with the whole family (myself, husband, 3 kids, in-laws, & grandparents) for a weekend and it was so relaxing. The Lodge is nice and clean with a basic kitchen with two burners, a microwave, utensils etc, - NO TV, just hammocks, nature, walks in the woods, fires with S’mores, and family fun the good ole fashioned way. The lodge has a small play area inside for kids so no need to bring toys, Tonka trucks for outdoor play, hula hoops, explorer kits for kids (binoculars, tweezers, hat, container with magnifying glass etc). This place has something for all ages whether it be games by the fireplace, a game of ping pong or a nap in a hammock. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a nice relaxing weekend trip away from daily life and stress. We will be back!! Thank you Kathy and Jeff for a great weekend

So Peaceful!

My family booked the cabin and lodge for a wedding weekend and we were so pleased. My husband and I stayed at the cabin, which couldn't have been more charming. Kathy, one of the owners, was on hand to guide us up the trail and showed us around this amazing cabin retreat. It was clean and comfortable and we had a great time. The kitchen is complete with all you could need (minus the food!) and we were happy with the wi-fi service. There is a twin bed downstairs and a queen upstairs; traveling down the ladder at night was an adventure, but well worth it. The price is amazing for this beautiful cabin. We would recommend it!

4th of July Retreat!

We stayed the weekend at the cabin down from the main house. It was adorable and very quaint just like the pictures! Myself, husband and two boys (4,7) we had the best time looking around the cabin and the woods outside! Jeff and Kathy had every detail planned out! I would highly recommend any family looking for a cozy and comfortable get away to stay the weekend! The owners were very accommodating, friendly, told wonderful stories and Kathy cooked us an awesome breakfast. I am so glad I signed up for the Breakfast it was more than I hoped for!

Perfect Cousins Retreat

Dragonhead Retreat was the PERFECT getaway for our 1st cousins' retreat! The beautiful scenery and Jeff and Kathy's hospitality made the weekend memorable! Surrounded by beautiful trees makes this destination so calming and peaceful! Loved the Edom and Ben Wheeler area! Enjoyed the last minute sing-a-long with Kathy! Only negative was a problem with one of the bathrooms not working properly and steep stairs to the loft. Plan to go back another time during a fall season to watch the beautiful changing of colors!

Away from it ALL!!

For me, this was like visiting another time and place. No longer did I have my super scared city dwellers fears of everything. That is NOT to say, one is foolish, as one might say, throwing "caution to the wind". BUT I Felt so at ease....No TV...a smattering of news only if we wanted to peek at the I phone and see if anyone had "Made The World Go Away" ( I'll not sing for you!) And KATHY is the best! We were very Pampered People! The food, lodging, surroundings, occasional appearance of the friendly owner's dog or cat, the clean air, quiet, the wonderful night's sleep, And! being in God's Creation, and noticing the little things we neglect to appreciate on a daily basis... YES...we plan to return! btw...We were serenaded by Kathy, just as we were to leave. Wonderful voice and acoustic guitar. And If you want local friendly people, there are plenty in the nearby town!!! Five Stars in my book!!! (BTW, I have some "walking/Disabilities" and others and had PERFECT accomadations for all!)

Perfect Getaway Retreat

Just cannot say enough about the royal treatment we got! Everything was perfectly represented. The cabin was cozy and homey, but simple and lovely. Clean and fresh. Slept very well. Hosts made certain we had everything we needed, and answered every question we might have had. Location is not far from Edom, Texas-- a darling art community with artisan shops and great food locally. Then the hosts spoiled us ROTTEN with an amazing breakfast. I felt so refreshed and happy we had had the opportunity to stay. It is in the woods, so it seems remote, and yet, it is also not far from Tyler, Texas and lots of restaurants, shopping and family-oriented activities. I would recommend this lovely place!

Excellent biker friendly getaway in the country

My wife and I have visited on multiple occasions, and the owners were very facilitating and amicable. They are very biker friendly and if asked, can even make special accommodations for your bike. However, I wouldn't suggest taking your two wheeler up the second hill. coming back down could prove catastrophic. The little cabin is quiet and secluded. I liked the loft bedroom myself (although the steps are more like a ladder, so I wouldn't suggest that bedroom for granny and grampy. Lol.) My wife liked the well pressured shower, and the cool looking sink in the bathroom. We both enjoyed having a full size fridge to store our food and drinks in. Obviously, smoking is not allowed inside, however, you are more than welcome to have one on the porch. (as long as the door is closed behind you.) The deck is positioned just perfectly to enjoy the sunrise with a nice cup of coffee as well. Overall, it was the small touches that made this place really special. Rope lights along the path so you can see at night, an amazing breakfast, and the super friendly dog and cats who shows up whenever they feel like it. None of the pets are pesky either. They can all be shooed away if your grinchy little heart so desires. The next time my wife and I need a little R&R, We're heading here.

The best place to stay for First Monday Trade Days

My family and I came to the area for the Canton, TX, First Monday Trade Days. We had 2 young children and the in-laws so we needed some space to spread out. Four adults and 2 children. We got so much more than we expected! Secluded cabin in the woods but a short drive to town. The owners went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The breakfast at the lodge was delicious and the view was breath taking. We felt like we were visiting family. We will always stay here when we come to canton! If you are looking for a place to stay for First Monday Trade Days this is it! My 6 year old daughter asked my if Kathy and Jeff were related to us! That is how comfortable we felt staying here. My wife is relieved that we found somewhere beautiful we can stay when coming to the First Monday Trade Days. Thanks to the owners Kathy and Jeff for everything. We had a wonderful time and your the best hosts in East Texas.

wonderful place

I visited Dragonhead Retreat twice. Once I stayed there on my own and I had such a good time I went back again and took my sister! Kathy and Jeff are lovely people, so nice and friendly and she makes a delicious breakfast. The cabin is lovely and quiet and nestled in the woods. The lodge is comfortable and welcoming with a big porch and rocking chairs. Kathy and Jeff make music with their friends around town and they have great sing alongs. The little towns of Ben Wheeler and Edom are classic Texas and charming. Tyler is nearby and I am dying to go back for Canton First Mondays! It is also near the Horse Show that takes place in that area. There are even some wineries just a few counties away. An absolutely great place to stay if you are in the neighborhood.

East Texas Gem

What a spectacular treat! Great location- we are huge Ben Wheeler fans and came to see the musician Ellis at the local "Old Firehouse" concert venue and were looking for a getaway close by. We stayed in the North room in the lodge- fantastic bed (which is very important to my husband), beautiful rustic decor, comfortable, everything we needed close at hand. Kathy and Jeff made us feel very welcome and we really enjoyed seeing all the love they put into this great retreat. We will return for some of the music jams at their house and bring our friends next time.
