Neighborhood highlights

Vildanden Cottage is on a quiet peninsula in Lake Winnsboro. The sunrises are gorgeous. Wood Duck nesting boxes are busy in the Spring and early Summer.
The neighbors are friendly. Walking to the park boat ramp to the south, then to the "iron bridge" to the north, and back equals about 2 miles.

Lives in Winnsboro, Texas
Our love of east Texas and our life on the lake has led us to share the peaceful and tranquil setting. So in 2017 we opened Vildanden Cottage so that others could enjoy a time in east Texas and life on the lake. Come stay at "The Wild Duck" cottage and enjoy a relaxing time-out from your busy life. Popular for fishing, relaxing and birdwatching.
