A Tranquil Retreat Loaded With Ambiance - A TRUE Escape from the Hustle & Bustle

This is truly a peaceful and tranquil escape. This property will not disappoint if you’re looking for a cozy place to relax, reconnect, rejuvenate, and restore! The home is surrounded by big pine trees and small creeks. Its located 10 miles outside the city limits of Nacogdoches & 6 miles from Lake Sam Rayburn. This area is completely off the beaten path and offers pure serenity. Boat and ATV parking is available onsite. Come and enjoy your coffee/cocktails on a big cozy front porch. This is a new property built in 2021. The owner’s suite, a full bath, kitchen, washer/dryer, and main living area are all located on the first floor. Upstairs is a large loft area with additional living space, big screen TV, 2nd bath and two bedrooms. We also have four oversized couches that can be converted into 4 additional single sleepers.

Camp LaVie is a great place for big family/friend gatherings, cozy couple’s retreats, family reunions and memorable fishing and family trips. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the necessities of home. There is plenty of space to spread out and office space upstairs for your zoom or teams’ meetings. Guest have full access to the entire home.

Cabin Fun

This is the cutest little cabin in the woods, it’s peaceful and so tranquil. The owners were so sweet and accommodating, she checked in on us and made sure we had everything we needed and it was all to our liking, which it absolutely was! It was such a great time, we can’t wait to go back and do some more Texas Fishing!! :)

Country Getaway

We had a family Christmas weekend of playing games, exchanging gifts, and lots of eating. The place was very clean with large bathrooms and ample parking as we had 6 vehicles. We spent our time indoors because of the weather but the outside looked so inviting. We drove to Nacogdoches and it wasn’t a long commute. I would highly recommend this place.

TOP NOTCH GETAWAY

If you don’t need the city, this is a great spot to relax and rest. My best friend and I absolutely loved it. The hosts did a fantastic job of outfitting and decorating the place. Lots of room inside and out. Quiet, private. And it was so clean. We have no complaints. If you plan to cook a big meal though, you might want to bring some kitchen items.
