Easter Weekend
This was a very cute old restored farmhouse with charm. I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the large back porch looking over the pond. We were nervous about the little dirt road to get to the property but it was no issue. I met the nice owners who live in the big farmhouse next door. We would definitely stay there again.

Better than expected
We loved our stay. It is a beautiful property, quiet, peaceful and well maintained. Coffee on the back porch looking over the lake was so relaxing. I would stay again in a heartbeat.

NIRVANA
Amazing. Stunning. Comes with a beautiful view and all the wonderful sounds of nature. Perfect place to get “off the grid”. I have never stayed at a place that is fully equipped/stocked from the kitchen right down to the laundry supplies. Made the trip a breeze and stressless. Donna is a great Hostess and we never felt that it was an imposition to reach out to her. Her Oasis will be our “go to” when visiting our family in Texas.

Van Alstyne Farmhouse
Exquisite! About 3/4 mile off of the road and QUITE! When you open the door you have a step back in time farmhouse decor with all the modern conveniences. The layout is straight out of a magazine. Comfortable beds, relaxing porch with a great view. The lake is a must for catch and release fishing. Donna, the host is the best. This will be a go to in future visits.

"The Notebook"
We had a truly magical stay at this absolutely beautiful "French Country" Home! This home is exquisitely decorated and we truly felt like we were in the movie "The Notebook"! The kitchen has everything you need to prepare fabulous meals while enjoying the beauty of this home and the grounds it sits on! The back porch is out of a magazine as is the rest of this dreamy home! The lake has the best fishing in Texas according to my husband who caught huge Bass, Croppie and Blue Gills! The row boat with the trolling motor was so fun. We absolutely loved our days enjoying the beauty of this home and how peaceful and serene the setting is, and the lake is absolutely wonderful! We felt like we truly stepped back in time and we had the most romantic getaway we have literally ever had! We spent the 4th of July weekend, soaking up the beautiful sun on the lake, cooking and grilling wonderful meals, and the Fireworks were the best we have ever seen, we will be returning every 4th! We are already planning our next romantic retreat and the hospitality from the wonderful owners Donna and Hank, was the cherry on top of this incredible find! We plan to be frequent visitors to this gem! Joe and Michelle, Allen Texas

PERFECT PLACE FOR PEACEFUL RETREAT AND REST
The house is beautiful. The host, Donna was gracious and kind and a perfect host. We have what we call a "silent retreat" about three times a year. Three women - two sisters and a niece. On Saturday we remain silent all day. We choose our own activities for the day, but all is done in silence. This time, one crocheted, one made a Christmas stocking for her youngest grandchild and the other, a new widow spent time in the Word and with God. We walked some and listened to music - each doing their own thing. This was the PERFECT place for us. So beautiful and serene, Would definitely recommend it to anyone seeking a beautiful relaxing place to spend time away from all the distractions of day-to-day life.
