Private Hot Tub, Queen Bed, 4 Miles to Ratcliff Lake

Private Hot Tub for 2 on Screened in Porch, Queen Bed,Microwave, Mini Fridge, Coffee Maker, Shower, Smart TV, No Wifi, Dvd's available. 5 minutes from Ratcliff Lake Recreation area.Ratcliff Lake Recreation Area was built in 1936 by the Civilian Conservation Corps. It surrounds a picturesque 45-acre lake that was once a log pond and a source of water for the Central Coal and Coke Company sawmill which operated from 1902 to 1920.

The facility is open year-round and includes a large campground, picnic areas, a reservable amphitheater, a swim area and many opportunities for outdoor recreation. Camping is available year-round.

The Davy Crockett National Forest, named for the legendary pioneer, contains more than 160,000 acres of East Texas woodlands, streams, recreation areas and wildlife habitat. Located in Houston and Trinity Counties, the forest is centrally located within the Neches and Trinity River basins.
Natural Features:
The campground is heavily forested with loblolly pine, oak and other hardwoods, and surrounds Ratcliff Lake. A wide variety of wildlife exists in the area, including the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker.
Recreation:
Swimming, fishing, hunting, hiking and picnicking are the area's main activities. The designated swimming area and playground provides much fun for the kids (no lifeguard on duty).

Fishing piers are available for anglers to try for largemouth bass, bream and channel/blue catfish. Only electric motors are allowed on the lake. Principal game for hunting on the national forest includes squirrel, deer, quail, dove, turkey and waterfowl.

Three main hiking trails can be accessed from the facility: the 1.5-mile Tall Pines, 0.75-mile Trail Tamers and the 20-mile Four C, which winds through many types of forests to a scenic overlook.

Learn more about recreation in the national forest.
Facilities:
Ratcliff Lake has 56 campsites, both first-come, first-served and reservable. Campsites in Dogwood Loop have electrical hookups and can accommodate vehicles up to 50 ft. Flush toilets, hot and cold showers and trash bins are also provided. Two picnic shelters and an amphitheater are also reservable.
The day-use area has 17 single family picnicking units, a swimming area, flush toilets, two wooden fishing piers, one earthen pier, one fishing platform and a boat ramp.
Nearby Attractions:
The Big Slough Wilderness Area, located along the Neches River about five miles north of Ratcliff, is free of modern development and gives the visitor a place for solitude and primitive experiences.

Breathtaking Little Hideaway!
I'm not sure how we missed that this area had no kitchen or BBQ area and as we had already gone grocery shopping, we had steaks that needed to be cooked one of the two nights we stayed here! One cannot waste steak! Luckily, the Dollar Store up the road had a hibachi for sale! The steak was perfect! We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful place! Again, you can tell that everything was selected carefully and the effect was... whimsical. *** Again, as a disabled person, an easier way into the hot tub would be awesome, and perhaps a grab bar in the shower or a shower mat? I cannot wait to stay at this location again!

Cute and comfy
Nice place! Lots of fun little details, like an old school cabinet stereo with a turn table.. loved that. Pictures don't do the interior justice, very cute and comfortable. The shower was ahhmazing, perfect pressure. I'd stay again in a heartbeat.

Great place to unplug, relax, and recharge.
A very charming and comfortable property. Hosts were polite and helpful. Property was clean and well kept. If you are looking for a place to unplug from the internet and get away to the forest to hike and appreciate nature, this just might be the place for you.
