Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
Surrounded by nature, our off-grid cabin is perfect for unplugging, reconnecting, and relaxing.
On the peninsula of a pond surrounded by forests and sweeping views of open hay fields, the Cabin is a unique, tranquil getaway located inside of a working ranch.
Watch clouds float by on the attached porch, or the sunset on the water, then enjoy the warmth of the fire pit while the stars come out!
Find your adventure here—meeting the horses, fishing, or just exploring the forest trails.

The space
This is an off-grid cabin. We hope you can use the space to unplug, relax, and get in touch with nature!

If you prepare for your stay here to be "half-camping," you'll have a great time. If you're looking for TV and wifi, you should look somewhere else!

The electricity is solar with a battery and an automatic propane generator. If you should have any problem with the generator or power, please contact us.

There is now an upgraded solar power system and an air conditioning unit in the Cabin! It runs great so far, but just installed on 8/16/2024, we ask for your understanding if you're one of our first guests after the system upgrade. Please reach out if you experience any glitches!

There is a wood-burning stove and firewood in the winter.

The driveway into the cabin yard is shared with one other guest cabin. It may also be used by myself or other ranch workers to reach pastures beyond the cabin. We try our best to give guests privacy, but ask for your understanding as we're first and foremost a working ranch.

The water at the Cabin is safe to drink. There is hot running water for showers etc.

The bathroom/shower is in a separate outbuilding, a few steps from the cabin. Both buildings are entirely yours during your stay.

Kitchen: there's an off-grid (propane) refrigerator and cook stove. These keep working even if the solar is off! The kitchen is stocked with dishes, pots and pans, and most basics for cooking.

Food: We usually keep the cabin stocked with some simple snacks, oatmeal, tea/coffee, oil and vinegar, seasonings, etc.
If you want to buy our grass-fed beef, free range eggs, or homemade bread, ask! We can stock the fridge for you.

Beds: there are two twin beds, which will be made up together as a king sized bed unless you request to have them made up separately.

Internet service: not available at the Cabin.

Cell service: Verizon and AT&T have service here. Other carriers do not.

Fishing:
You are welcome to fish in the pond. We can prepare fishing rods for you, but no special lures, bait, etc. There is no cost for fishing.

Horse riding: currently, horse rides are on hold as I am very pregnant and not able to lead them at the moment!

Other things to note
We do accept pets but have had trouble with intact male dogs marking the furniture. For this reason, we cannot accept male dogs that have not been neutered.

Neighborhood highlights

Set in the heart of beautiful east Texas ranchland among deep pine forests and rolling hills, the Cabin at Bell & Brook is located inside of the working Bell & Brook Ranch.
The Cabin's yard is fully fenced so ranch animals can't break in! There is a small private pond surrounding three sides of the cabin. The water is unfenced, so not suitable for children without adult supervision.
