    This cabin was the perfect getaway! Just over an hour outside of Dallas and we were transported into pure tranquility. Great architecture built by the innkeepers filled with tons of local art and nestled in beautiful woods just outside of Edom. Kathy is an amazing host with excellent communication and thinks of everything! Who could ask for more?

    This was right before the scavenger hunt (with provided explorer hats and bug boxes).

    This place is amazing. It's just the right mix of "cabin" and "fancy cabin." It's very kid friendly too-- they even have stair gates and bed bumpers. The owner even put on a special scavenger hunt for them! It's very quiet and has everything you need, fireplaces, cooking heat, lots of chill outdoor seating. Perfect for really getting away.

    Dragonhead Retreat......AMAZING!!!

    Served us well! 5/5…read more Stayed Jan 2018 Darlene T. Pretty inside & out, soothing woodsy setting w/ the amazingly perfect windows to enjoy it. Subdued, tasteful, mostly utilitarian decorating instead of overload you see in some cabins or B&Bs. Hosts literally thought of EVERYTHING you might need, name it. An extremely well-stocked kitchen & bathroom & shockingly generous supply of edibles/drinkables/goodies. We used the chiminea (fat sticks easily gleaned from yard to feed it) & also the little grill, nice. Enjoyed the whimsical yard art, again, liked their tastes. There was even a bottle tree outside to trap bad spirits, must be doing its job, lol. Reception for Wi-Fi and cell good. There were CDs & DVDs & a player but the TV also had cable, so 7 channels, I think, hope you like old Westerns & Forensic Files reruns, we did. Of the few DVDS they had, one was an older fave of ours, The Good Girl, so great to see again. Was cool, rainy weekend so we didn't walk afield, maybe next time but then next time might order up another rainy weekend, works for us. A few times we heard a braying donkey neighbor some distance, didn't bother us, made up for not hearing or seeing much of the wildlife other reviewers talked about. Did see birds, squirrels and an armadillo. When I say hosts thought of everything, I mean it, no, really, you'll find every single little thing you'd ever need, plus books to read (finished one from home and left it & a magazine for the stack) & cabin had a binder of instructions about anything & everything inside the place (check it out, we found lots of crucial info in there) plus a roundup of local things to do, nice mentions of the very fine Caldwell Zoo & the Tyler State Park. We welcomed guidance on how to start shower (pull ring down from faucet, aha!). If I had to say anything remotely negative it's that the steep stairs challenged me as I'm recovering from an injury. But the bed at the top made up for it. What else. Well, it was just nearly too perfect & afraid we might have trouble booking it during later, finer weather. We'd gone there for the singer-songwriter series, this one for the insanely talented Jeff Black who performed at the Old Firehouse. We had to skip out of the performance halfway through & head home early, ever-on-call husband had sudden work obligation pop up so we didn't get all the good out of Edom, our cabin & the concert, but we still left happy. Thx to you, Mr/Mr W

    We stayed here for one night and it was the BEST experience of my life! The most perfect cozy cabin…read morefor a getaway! Highly recommend. We will be coming here time and time again!

    DO NOT STAY HERE! The owner is very difficult to work with and will keep your deposit no matter…read morewhat. The grounds keeper was super friendly, but that didn't do us much good. We rented several of the houses for a conference here in summer 2015. Right off the bat, it seemed nice; however, many things soon went wrong. First, the AC wasn't working in the main house where we were holding our meetings for the conference and where many people were sleeping. The grounds keeper was super friendly and attentive. She came and "fixed" it, but it only worked well momentarily. The rest of the week it was hardly cooling the place down. The fridge and freezer stopped working in the main house also where we kept all of our food (good thing we realized it, otherwise our food would've spoiled). We tried to be good guests and wash the dish towels we soiled; however, the washer wouldn't drain after many, many tries. None of these issues were our fault, but were due to faulty, ancient appliances. Still, we tried to keep a good attitude and "make the most of it." After all, the show must go on. Upon departing the grounds, everyone cleaned each house we occupied very well and left everything as we found it upon arrival. We even had a few people walk through each house afterwards to double check. To our surprise, the owner claimed half of our deposit. We asked her for her reasoning. She could not give us much explanation other than a few plates that were left by the pool, which we tried to explain were not ours. If anything, we should have not only received our full deposit back but also a discount for all the trouble we experienced. I cannot in good conscience recommend this place to anyone. I repeat, DO NOT stay here. P.S. The only other review on here to date is by Mary Ellen, the owner herself, so I'd disregard it, if I were you.

    the owner mary ellen malone took 1250.00 from our client for a long term rental and the next day…read moreasked him to leave because the house was not prepared for long term. promised to return the money the next day and now she acts as if she does not know him anymore! this lady is not running a good business at all and we will not rest until she gives his money back!
