The cottage is always decorated for fall, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Come relax and enjoy the peaceful cottage and it’s surroundings. Many guests say they never leave the cottage! They plan ahead with food and drink. They chat and play games or sit on the porch and watch ducks. They cook on the Blackstone and soak in the spa!

But! If you want to do something....

******Yesterland is 9 minutes away. ******Splash Kingdom is 12 minutes away.
******First Monday is 10 minutes.

**First Monday starts on Thursday! It’s a four day event! The best shopping days to avoid crowds are Thursday and Friday.**

Families love the Canton Cottage in the summer! You can go to Splash Kingdom, Yesterland, The Alligator Farm, the Mineola Nature Preserve, fishing at Lake Fork, antiquing and check out wineries.


Children coming? When the reservation is made, you can request that we have a pack and play, a high chair, and a tricycle for them. No charge, but advanced requests must be made so it’s not at another one of our rentals. (Bring your own sheets.)

One or two well behaved dogs are allowed. You must keep them crated when you are away from the house. (We have crates if you need one.)

A group of girlfriends, a family, or three couples can enjoy time in the country together and be only 10 minutes from food, shopping, and activities! On the 560 square foot deck you can drink your coffee in the mornings and your favorite beverage in the evening around the fire pit. Cook your entire meal on the Blackstone flat top grill then relax in the spa.
