Canton Cabins: What You Get When You Reserve Cottage 19

There’s no better place to vacation in Texas than the beautiful Piney Woods of East Texas and no better way to vacation than to stay in the Canton cabins at Mill Creek Ranch Resort.  To get the best of our Canton cabins at Mill Creek Ranch Resort, check out our newest “Cozy Cabin” addition, Cottage 19.

Canton Cabin Rental 19 – A Nature Lover’s Dream!

Cottage 19 is one of our executive cabins that sleeps 6 and its location couldn’t be more advantageous to the nature lovers in your family.  Nestled under the trees, Cottage 19 has a great view of all of the scenic beauty the Canton area has to offer; plus, it’s only steps away from the walking trail, North Pointe Pond and Morning Dove Pond.  When you walk up to the front of the cabin, you’ll see that it was built for this woodsy setting with the look of a log cabin. 

Your Cabin In The Piney Woods

There’s no doubt you’ll feel like you walked into a Texas ranch house when you step through the front door.  The decor is rustic with cowhide and Lone Star accents in almost every room; but that doesn’t mean you’ll be roughing it.  Cottage 19 boasts all of the comforts of home and then some.  In the kitchen, you’ll find all of the appliances you need to whip up a great meal.  The living room and bedroom and loft area all have flat-screen TVs and the loft even has a WII to keep your kids entertained at the end of a long day of outdoor fun.  Want to wind down in the living room or master bedroom with a good book or a glass of wine?  Turn on the electric fireplaces in either room to make the cabin a relaxing and cozy hideaway no matter what the weather outside is like.

Room For Everybody

Because Cottage 19 sleeps 6, you’ll have room for the whole family.  The master bedroom has a queen-sized bed while the loft has two twin beds, just right for the kids.  The living room sofa is a sleeper with a memory foam mattress that will be great for parents, friends or anyone else staying with you.  When you have 6 people in one cabin, you need a great outdoor space where everyone can spread out.  Cottage 19 is equipped with a large, flagstone patio, fire pit, grill, tables, chairs and even a bench swing. 

Mill Creek Ranch Resort Amenities

One of the best parts of renting Canton cabins at Mill Creek Ranch Resort is getting to enjoy all of the amenities the Ranch has to offer.  Family activities include the pools and a hot tub, paddleboating, fishing, nature trails, biking, hayrides, volleyball, basketball and more.  For the grownups, weekends at Mill Creek Ranch Resort include cocktails and live entertainment at The Creek, featuring local bands.

Resorts in Dallas: 5 Must-Know Kid Friendly Travel Tips

Posted by on | Featured

Resorts in Dallas | Mill Creek Ranch ResortWhether it’s a staycation or a vacation, heading to any of the best resorts in Dallas with the kiddos in tow doesn’t have to be met with a groan from the parents. The “family vacation,” for better or worse, sticks in a kids memory all the way through to adulthood. Remember your family vacations as a kid? Here’s how to make sure your kids remember the family vacation for the better.

Take it slow: Plan a little extra time for everything than you normally would if you were traveling solo or as a couple. Breezing by a national monument in the car while taking photos out the window may be okay for you, but the kids will actually want to see it up close. Or at least stretch their legs. Recognize that hiking and walking with kids will be slower, and take advantage of this opportunity to stop and smell the roses.

Keep their needs in mind: If the kids still need naps, plan around the naps. Honestly, what’s worse: missing one site on the route or having a cranky kid that makes seeing said site a miserable experience? Same goes for eating.

Pick a kid friendly hotel: And stay more than one night. There is nothing more exhausting than packing and repacking every single day on a vacation, nevermind all of that will only slow you down in the long run. A kid friendly hotel will help keep the kids from getting bored. You don’t necessarily need to find a hotel with a full fledged water park, just make sure there is at least a pool and/or game room.

Find something with a kitchenette: Whether it’s an extended stay or B&B or apartment rental, remember how much faster and cheaper breakfast will be with your small children when you can throw together some cereal instead of going to a restaurant.

Plan a little “alone time”: Keep in mind people get tired of each other. Especially families. Many hotels and resorts in Dallas offer babysitting or have kid-friendly activities so everyone can take a little breather from each other.

Head to one of the best resorts in Dallas for the whole family. Mill Creek Ranch Resort has swimming, nature walks, kids activities in the summer, fully equipped kitchens and grills for cooking, and a whole host of activities in the area that are fun for kids and adults alike! Call 877-927-3439 for more information and availability!

Call our corporate sales manager at Mill Creek Ranch Resort today at 877-927-3439 to get the best rates for January and February for your corporate retreat.  You can also arrange to take a tour of our Texas vacation rentals and learn how we can help you with every detail including team-building activities, entertainment and menu planning.  We want your retreat to be a success so we’ll work with you any way we can – even customizing your retreat to fit your needs and budget.  Call Mill Creek Ranch Resort today.  You’ll be happy you did.

Rustic design ideas when considering cabins for sale in Texas

Posted by on | Featured

Mill Creek Ranch Resort’s cabins for sale in Texas do come fully furnished and outfitted with modern appliances and rustic yet modern finishings, but the interiors and decorating aesthetic are entirely left up to you. The biggest trend in design for cottages is definitely to take it rustic all the way. To make your cottage a cozy rustic getaway, here are a few design and decor tips.

Consider your materials: When it comes to rustic design, think au naturale, and go for a lot of wood. There are tons of creative uses for wood, old or new, unpolished or reclaimed. This is also a wonderful way to go green and recycle. A little sandpaper and paint on an old door can make a charming coffee table top or headboard. When it comes to fabrics, consider natural fibers like linen, cotton or burlap.

Pick your palette: A rustic design usually centers around a palette of neutrals, especially those that reflect your surroundings, like browns, beiges, grays and sometimes green. If you are a color hound and find neutrals a yawn, definitely add some character with color. An otherwise neutral palette makes one or two accent colors really pop. Pick an accent wall to paint, or use bright colors in your linens (bed and/or table), throw pillows, etc. and you can even change them out seasonally.

Fine found finishings: A wonderful way to snazz up your rustic getaway, especially in the kitchen, is with those one-off unique bowls, vases and bottles that never seem to have the right place in your permanent residence (but often hold sentimental value). If you don’t have any items of this nature, never fear. Just come down during First Monday and find something unique at the nation’s biggest flea market, or take advantage of the numerous antique stores in Canton. If all else fails, invest in a few different sizes of mason jars to use as glassware, vases, cotton ball/toiletry holders, or anything else you can think of! Then send the kids on a flower and foliage hunt when you arrive to display inside or on the patio during your stay.

Remember that at Mill Creek Ranch Resort’s cabins for sale in Texas, we take care of all the maintenance inside and out, both while you visit and when you’re away. You won’t even have dust-on-arrival. Contact us for more information on purchasing a vacation cottage or to schedule a tour.

3 planning tips for corporate retreats Texas at Mill Creek Ranch Resort

Posted by on | Featured

corporate retreats texas | Mill Creek Ranch ResortMaybe you are doing general team building, or maybe your company has a project that will require a little more time than one (way too long) meeting. Corporate retreats Texas are a great way to do both, and with the facilities at Mill Creek Ranch Resort we are here to assist you in taking care of business while taking a little bit of a load off. Here are a few tips to make your next corporate retreat productive, successful and fun.

Plan ahead. Keep in mind that you are taking people away from their homes and their families for a work-related event. You owe it to them to make sure the retreat is both productive and at least somewhat entertaining. Make sure you’ve done extensive research and planned ahead, creating an itinerary of any seminars, speeches, meetings, team building activities or brainstorms so the day or weekend runs smoothly.

Keep your eye on the goal. If your goal is to have ample time together to go through any number of phases of a big project, keep your focus on that. Plan activities and tasks that work towards completing your project as a whole group, in smaller groups, and then regroup as a whole to consider your progress. Do not plan an afternoon of trust falls if your main goal is to get ahead on a big project. On the flip side, do not plan on working on projects if your main goal is team building. Trust fall away!

Location, location, location! The location of corporate retreats Texas is especially important if you are planning an overnight stay. While the purpose of the retreat is to work and/or team build, you are not going to be doing that until your team falls into their beds at night. Book your retreat at a place that has a few things to do after dinner and/or work time.  Mill Creek Ranch Resort’s corporate retreat facilities include low-key activities such as nature walks, roasting marshmallows over a campfire or relaxing in the hot tub so your team will find the retreat fulfilling for both work and mental rejuvenation.

With a little planning and a little help from our corporate sales manager and our activities director, Mill Creek Ranch Resort is the perfect place to plan corporate retreats Texas. Between our state-of-the-art meeting rooms, full catering options, and tranquil luxury resort, let us help you plan a successful, productive and enjoyable corporate retreat.

Your East Texas Checklist When Renting Vacation Cabins in Texas

Posted by on | Featured

Yes, most people breeze through town during the First Monday Trade Days, leaving with their wonderful finds and never thinking twice about it. There are, however, a ton of other things to do and “must-sees” in East Texas that you don’t want to miss when renting vacation cabins in Texas. A stay at Mill Creek Ranch Resort’s beautiful grounds offers a relaxing sanctuary to rest after a day full of activities. Here are some of the reasons to come to Trade Days, and then stay a while.

For kids:

Heritage Park Outdoor Museum is a quick drive from Canton and provides a little window into what rural life was like in East Texas in the early 1900’s.

Check out the life and times of alligators at the East Texas Gators and Wildlife park, where you can watch them feed and see eggs and baby gators in addition to a variety of other animals.

Over the holidays, Yesterland Farms provides holiday activities over the fall and Christmas season with a little old-fashioned flare.

For the adults:

Check out Canton’s wonderful selection of boutiques and antique storefronts. Our favorite is the Dish Barn.

Texas wine isn’t just in the Hill Country anymore. Take a wine tour at the Texas Roads Winery to experience the wonderful vintages from North East Texas.

Hit a few balls at the Twin Lakes Golf Course, one of Texas’ top 10 facilities and one of North Texas’ most challenging. Groups welcome.

Over the summer:

During June and July, head to Blueberry Hills Farm or The Berry Bush (or both, they are right next to each other) to “pick your own” variety of East Texas berries, farm fresh and syrupy sweet.

Head out to Lake Fork, hailed as one of Texas’ best lakes for trophy bass fishing. They also have catfish, crappie, sunfish and bluegill, or you can always just enjoy a day on the lake.

During the summer, head to Splash Kingdom Waterpark for fun in the sun. Mini golf is open year-round.

Mill Creek Ranch Resort’s Texas Vacation Rentals Provide Relaxing Getaway

Posted by on | Featured

Whether you are visiting North Texas from another part of the country, another country altogether or just looking for a quick getaway out of the DFW metroplex, our Texas vacation rentals and cottages provide the perfect place to unwind.

To start, Mill Creek Ranch Resort is located in Historic Canton, Texas in the beautiful East Texas Piney Woods. During your stay here you can go antiquing at our area shops, play some golf at the Twin Lakes Golf Course, check out one (or both) of the area wineries, or go bass fishing at nearby Lake Fork (although we prefer to call it bass catching). If you are traveling with children, there is also Yesterland Farms and the East Texas Gators and Wildlife Park for family friendly entertainment. How about an adrenaline rush, check out the Wired Zip LIne and Challenger course that is just next door to the resort.

Our Texas vacation rentals are fully furnished to sleep up to six and are equipped with full kitchens. The cottages are cozy and comfortable but with modern amenities. Cozy and quaint doesn’t have to mean lacking a little luxury. Enjoy your evenings on the back porch or take advantage of the many amenities offered at Mill Creek Ranch Resort. During your stay here we have a plethora of activities to keep you entertained. Have some fun in the sun at one of our two property pool areas, or take advantage of the Hot Tub on a chilly winter evening or make a fire in one of the many fire pits. We also have over 4 miles of hiking and walking trails.  Try out our disc golf course, multi sport court, stocked fishing ponds and live music at the grand lodge every Friday night.

No place does the holidays like a small Texas town, and the whole town of Canton really gets into the holiday spirit. You can also check out the Christmas light displays for a good old fashioned drive-through in nearby Athens and Santa Land. At Mill Creek Ranch Resort, we also have a New Year’s special, with cottage rentals only $125 a night Dec. 31- Jan. 1. Bring a little bubbly, enjoy our hot tub facilities, and soak in the picturesque piney woods to ring in 2014. Call us for more details!

Simply visit our interactive map, click on any cottage space and you will find photos outside and in of each specific cottage as well as online booking options. For a wonderful get away chock full of holiday spirit, check out the Texas vacation rentals here at Mill Creek Ranch.

For Unforgettable Fun, Combine a Visit to Yesterland with Our Texas Vacation Rentals

Posted by on | Featured

Heroes are all around us, though we don’t always notice them. They teach our kids, patrol our streets, guard our country, and battle blazes. We owe these brave men and women a debt we can never fully repay. But there are things each of us can do to show them how much we appreciate their service.

 

YesterLand Farms is doing its part by hosting a Hero’s Weekend September 21st and 22nd. Members of the teaching, law enforcement, military, and firefighting professions can get free admittance to the farm for themselves and up to three family members, simply by showing their work ID at the admission gate. The deal is a great way for public servants to save while stay at one of our Texas vacation rentals.

If you’ve never been to YesterLand, then you’re missing a treat. This special place is a real working farm that offers plenty of good times for every member of the family. Plus, its location makes it an ideal addition to our Texas vacation rentals.

Things to do at YesterLand include the following fun-filled activities:

  • Ride the YesterLand Express, a vintage train sized just right for both kids and adults to enjoy.
  • Enjoy fast-moving twists and turns on the Range, a classic roller coaster that takes passengers through an authentically-styled fort.
  • Take a trip on the Super Slide, a 65’ three-lane fiberglass slide that takes visitors over not one but two heart-pounding humps.
  • Go for a spin (literally!) on the Turbulence and Gyro-sphere attractions, both of which whizz visitors around in circles for some dizzying good fun.
  • Saturday nights in October are a treat! Bring your flashlight and an adventurous spirit to experience all of the fun YesterLand has to offer in a whole new light!

For those who prefer a more leisurely experience, YesterLand also offers wagon train rides, a pumpkin patch, a corn maze, and a mercantile filled with souvenirs and other fascinating merchandise. Plus, after you and your party have worked up a farm-sized appetite, you can enjoy a great meal at the Hog Wild Grill.

 

YesterLand takes its role as a member of the Canton community very seriously. One way it gives back is by joining with local schools to host field trips. Students can tour the grounds and work areas and see what everyday life is like on an American farm. Each year YesterLand dedicates its corn maze to a charitable organization. This year the maze features the 100th Anniversary of the American Cancer Society, and proceeds from the annual corn maze go to the organization’s efforts to find a cure. So, when you visit, you’ll not only be having a great time. You’ll also be supporting a family-centered business that’s striving to make our world a better place.

 

You can make your trip to YesterLand even more special by taking part in one of our Family Fall Fun Escape Packages. You’ll enjoy overnight accommodations in either a cabin or at one of our spacious RV sites. You’ll also get discounts on admission to YesterLand and full access to all the great amenities at Mill Creek Ranch Resort. You won’t find a better deal on Texas vacation rentals anywhere. So don’t settle for a bland, run-of-the-mill hotel room when you can stay with us. We look forward to having you and your loved ones as our honored guests.

TOP 6 ITEMS ON THE ‘MUST DO’ LIST WHEN NOT STAYING IN A HOTEL IN CANTON TX

Posted by on | Featured

6. When not staying in a hotel in Canton TX visit the beautiful Edgewood Heritage Park historic outdoor museum and the Blackwell House, Canton’s oldest residence.   As described on their website, this outdoor museum encompasses 20 authentically restored and furnished structures representing rural life in East Texas from the 1800’s to the 1920’s.

5 .  If golfing is your thing, you won’t want to miss visiting the championship Twin Lakes Golf Course.  Ranked by Texas Outside as one of the top 10 golf facilities in Texas.  Twin Lakes was designed to challenge serious players while still giving novices a great place to learn to play.  The picturesque course was designed around two beautiful lakes and a 1,000 acre tree farm giving the course a beautiful tranquility.

4.  When not staying in a hotel in Canton TX we recommend visiting theYesterland Farm for a nostalgic step back in time — it’s old-fashioned fun on the farm with a new twist! From Fall festivities to a holiday wonderland of Christmas trees and Santa, it’s all farm-tastic family entertainment.

3.  For a change of pace, visit the Edwin L. Cox, Jr., Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center (TFFC).  The TFFC website indicates they combine visitation and outdoor education with a production fish hatchery. The Center’s mission is to provide an educational, entertaining visitor experience that promotes freshwater sport fishing and the enhancement, conservation and stewardship of aquatic resources in Texas.

2. TripAdvisor.com describes Canton’s First Monday Trade Days as the self-professed oldest and largest flea market in the United States including more than 7,000 vendors.  The event draws up to 500,000 people and is held each month on the Thursday through Sunday preceding the first Monday of the month.  If you want to visit First Monday Trade Days be sure to book your hotel in Canton TX far in advance, as accommodations fill fast!

And FINALLY and most importantly:

1. Don’t stay in a hotel in Canton TX!  Instead, stay in the fabulous resort at Mill Creek Ranch Resort where not only will you have beautiful and relaxing accommodations, you’ll enjoy our fabulous amenities including: concierge service; stocked fishing ponds; paddle boats; live music, full bar and great food every Friday night at “The Creek” in the Grand Lodge; swimming pools; hot tub; beautiful playground; disc golf course; places for bike riding; a dog park; volleyball; basketball; horse shoes; etc.  You get the idea, there’s truly something for everyone at Mill Creek Ranch Resort.

Benefits of Staying at Mill Creek Ranch Resort’s Texas Vacation Rentals Vs. Hotel Rooms

Posted by on | Featured

When it’s time to get away from it all how do you decide where to stay and what to do? There are always those ‘vanilla’ hotel rooms that we tend to lean towards because it’s what we’re used to doing…OR you can spice up your vacation experience by staying in one of many Texas vacation rentals at Mill Creek Ranch Resort.

 

What ARE the differences between Texas vacation rentals versus hotel rooms? There are some similarities: both commonly have televisions, coffee pots, comfortable beds, a community pool and a number of ADA units available for the enjoyment of their guests. But the differences are numerous and remarkable!

 

Although hotel rooms generally have room for a bed to sleep in and a television to watch, Texas vacation rentals at Mill Creek Ranch Resort are upscale fully furnished cottage units with a fully equipped kitchen where all you need bring is the food! We also have a great living space where you can relax, much better than making that bed your sofa and recliner!

Hotels are usually surrounded by…more hotels! Texas vacation rentals at Mill Creek Ranch Resort on the other hand are surrounded by the peaceful great outdoors of Texas. Other outdoor amenities offered at Mill Creek Ranch Resort Texas vacation rentals that aren’t usually found at hotels are private covered patios and decks, many times with outdoor grills, to relax and enjoy your evening meal or to just sit and enjoy listening to the serene sounds of nature. Additional common outdoor amenities include fishing in nearby ponds, nature trails, picnic tables, playgrounds, bike rentals and outdoor games including horseshoes, lifesize checkerboard and disc golf.

 

If you want to enjoy an extended vacation at a hotel you’ll need to pack your whole wardrobe or plan on spending substantial down time at a local laundromat. At Mill Creek Ranch Resort Texas vacation rentals you won’t have to place your vacation plans on hold in order to get your laundry done. You’ll find a private washer and dryer in your unit so you can start the laundry in the morning on your way out the door to enjoy some fun, and finish the laundry when you come back in the evening.

Mill Creek Ranch Resort Texas vacation rentals provide privacy. There will be no maid knocking on your door first thing in the morning. You won’t hear annoying neighbor noise coming through the walls or from the hallway because you don’t have shared walls in a vacation rental unit. Unlike the cramped quarters of a hotel room you’ll have space to stretch out in your vacation rental unit enjoying a wonderfully modern and beautifully appointed living room, kitchen and bedroom(s). It is truly an upscale home away from home.

Rental rates of Mill Creek Ranch Resort Texas vacation rentals are comparable or in many cases better than hotel rates. So what are you waiting for? Book your vacation rental today so you can enjoy the peacefulness of that charming cabin in the woods along with luxury resort living!
