These cozy cabins in the woods can sleep a family of five in two rooms, one with a queen bed and another upstairs with a queen and twin beds. There’s plenty of space for everyone to spread out downstairs in the comfortable living room, dining area and kitchenette that includes a refrigerator, microwave, stovetop and oven. Even though the cabin is right off the busy Richardson Highway, all you’ll feel is peace and seclusion. The property is surrounded by trees, with Beaver Springs Creek outside your cabin door and Beaver Lake a short walk down the road. All the supplies you need for a continental breakfast are stocked in your cabin before you arrive. Be sure to ask your hosts about their restored antique cars. If you’re lucky, they’ll give you a ride around town in an old Ford Model T.
