East Texas Cabin Rental on 300 Private Acres
A fully secluded retreat in the East Texas Piney Woods — near Jacksonville, Texas, about 2 hours from Dallas and 2.5 hours from Houston.
Most cabin rentals in East Texas share a road, a fence line, or a view with someone else. Whispering Pines doesn't.
The property sits on 300 private acres of East Texas Piney Woods — completely gated, completely secluded, with no shared spaces and no neighboring properties in sight. A 7.6-acre stocked pond, miles of trails, a 6-person hot tub, and a fully equipped 3-bedroom cabin are all yours for the duration of your stay.
It's a 5.0-star Airbnb property in the Top 1% of homes nationwide. And when you book direct, you skip the platform fees entirely.
