The pictures of this treasure do not capture the beauty of this property. Every time my family have visited, we walk in the door and are still in awe. Whether you choose to fish, enjoy both fireplaces,, visit the darling town in Mount Vernon, or do it all, you will leave with wonderful memories. The host, Kitty, is amazing.and very available for anything you may need. However, you wonât need a thing, as Kitty has thought of everything to make your visit something you will never forget.
So many wonderful things to say about The Big Pasture Cabin. My partner and I came here with all our adult children and one 4 year old in the middle of this fun. Kitty met me and gave me a tour and helpful tips. She had firewood delivered and everything we needed was available. The best hostess! We fished, walked the beautiful property, enjoyed the gorgeous view on the back deck, and cooked together in the large kitchen. The beds were comfortable and plenty of linens. This was a true getaway tucked away and private. Anyone that stays here will not be disappointed! 5 STARS!
We all loved this home and property! This is our favorite out of at least 25 VRBO's with 5 star ratings that we have stayed in. Our family of 5 grown children and one 12 year old gathered to honor one of our daughters having her 4th son. We had a tea/brunch for her with a few of her friends joining us. It was raining so we had the fireplace going. No one wanted to leave. It was so peaceful and comfortable. There were several amazing serving pieces and decorations available that made it the perfect gathering. We loved how the home was decorated. It honored the presence of God. The property was also breath taking. We did not see one piece of trash on our hikes. We didn't have a chance to hike all of the paths; there's a lot of them. We definitely want to go back and do this. Absolutely a wonderful experience with a great host that we'll always remember.
Had a wonderful relaxing trip. The cool nights, mornings were perfect for enjoying the wood fireplace and enjoying our coffee while looking at the great outdoors!
A truly wonderful place. Kitty was a wonderful host!
Our group returned to Big Pasture for another stay. A much needed retreat to the piney woods, if you will. There were six in our group and there was plenty of room for us all. The place is always clean and inviting. We love visiting here with the wood finishes and details that give you a lodge feel. The back deck is a fantastic space that makes you feel like youâre far away from the big city, which is always the goal for us. We tend to spend most of our time either on the back deck taking in the view or in the kitchen area. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could possibly need, not exaggerating. The 4 bedrooms all have a bathroom, comfortable beds and are nicely decorated. Not to be forgotten, Kitty is a very sweet host and a great communicator. We had another extraordinary weekend here and look forward to returning in the future.
We had a great time! The property is beautiful and very quite. We enjoyed walking the trails and listening to the wildlife. We will plan a repeat visit!
The property was clean and accommodating! The pictures do not do it justice. The property is way more beautiful in person.
We enjoyed exploring the property, grilling and the back patio. Owners are easy to work with for whatever your needs are. Plenty of room for 8 people and kids. Check out was the easiest of any properties we have stayed in . Would definitely go back !
My parents, Aunt, brother and family came in for my daughterâs high school graduation. Our host was so accommodating and helpful. She was very prompt when answering questions and the house was so comfortable and just as advertised. We loved it and would recommend it for a stay or an event. We made arrangements to have a graduation party there as well. We had about 50 guests and there was plenty of room for everyone. We enjoyed the large back deck and brought our own cornhole boards to use on the lawn. There was plenty of parking and a nice circular drive that we utilized when dropping off elderly guests at the door before parking.
It was wonderful!
This was a great place for a group of colleagues and friends to get away and work on our business away from the business. Clean and so easy to work with the owner. Views off the back porch are amazing!
We had a great time. Super comfortable. Great setting and great views. Ms. Kitty made it easy! We tried to leave the place in better shape than we found it but she also didnât want us âfussingâ over the clean up so it would be easier on us to check out. Hope to come back!
We have stayed at the Big Pasture before and enjoyed the property, the Christmas decorations and lights made this stay even more magical. The house was stocked so we could enjoy a fire on the cool nights. The stars outside were amazing at night. We had a chance to walk around the property more and hope to come back to explore further. Kitty is a gracious host and ensured we had everything we needed including a high chair!
Thank you again for another wonderful stay at the big pasture! Our friends and family enjoyed the beautiful back porch and lots of time around the fire. We had fun exploring the property and getting out of Dallas for the weekend. Kitty makes you feel like family staying at the big pasture!
I rent The Big Pasture Lodge for a gathering of my siblings, who live in MA, KS and PA, to celebrate Thanksgiving. There were nine adults in our group. Kitty the Host was very easy to work with. As we began dinner preparation on Thanksgiving, we discovered that there was no gas. I texted Kitty and she assured me that someone would be there soon. About 35 minutes later we had gas. There was plenty of indoor activities as it rained the three days we were there.
This was a stunning property to at was so well appointed. The view from the back porch was amazing. My nature-loving kids had a blast. My 70+ mother felt very comfortable. We cooked and hiked and fished. It was so lovely.
Rented for family members for a wedding in Mount Vernon and it was perfect. Just needed more time to stay at house and enjoy the porch. Two beautiful sunrises.
The photos do not do this getaway justice! Fantastic views and a gorgeous home. We enjoyed fishing and hiking in the woods. Plus relaxing on the back deck is what we all needed. Thank you, Kitty for the wonderful hospitality.
Our family enjoyed coming together at the Big Pasture to celebrate the 4th of July. Our only regret is we didnât stay long enough to enjoy all of the hikes around the property. The house worked wonderfully for small kids crawling and exploring. It was so nice having all the space for our family to gather and then enough bedrooms so everyone to relax too. We will definitely be back!
We were needing a quiet time to encourage, pray, and seek wisdom from the Lord as church leaders and Big Pasture and the owners were just what God ordered. The setting in the splendor of Godâs creation coupled with the amenities of the lodge were a gift. Grateful for a place like Big Pasture
This rental is an amazing experience. Everything is gorgeous. The property is a dream. This is a must see and must stay kind of place. You wonât be disappointed. We didnât want to leave!!
Kitty was a joy to work with! She made things super easy! The house is absolutely beautiful and had every thing we needed! It works perfect for a group weekend!
We had so much fun at the big pasture! Kitty was so accommodating and helpful with anything and everything we needed. We loved sitting by the fires at night and enjoying our coffee with the beautiful land views. The house was perfect for our family spring break get away. We had so much fun bringing our atvs and riding around on the 500 acres and exploring. We also fished and caught some pretty fish! This was perfect for our quick get away from the big city! Having grown up in east Texas, this was a âhome away from homeâ vaca! 5 stars and more!
What a wonderful time we spent celebrating New Year at the Big Pasture Lodge. Our family all loved everything about it. It is a very convenient half way meeting point for our family members living in Dallas area and family living in Texarkana. Kitty goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and was there to meet us when we arrived. Will for sure be visiting again and would like to make the New Year trip an annual event. Thank you Kitty for opening your beautiful home to our family. Ages range from 1 year to 75 years and everyone had such a great time. Wonderful place to make memories. Highly recommend.
The Big Pasture Lodge was a wonderful choice for a quiet, relaxing getaway for our group of friends. We enjoyed a bit of hiking, cooking in the well stocked kitchen, chatting into the night while sprawled on comfy couches, playing games around the table and reading peacefully on the porch while looking across the landscape. I highly recommend this property for groups that want some privacy as well, all the bedrooms are situated well away from each other ensuring early risers and night owls both could putter about happily. While we didn't have any difficulties, the host was very communicative and I felt that if I had needed assistance, help would have been on the way!
