The Yellow Rose Cabin
620 Marceau Lane
Goodrich TX 77335
After a stressful holiday season, what I really needed was some good old rest & relaxation.On the spur-of-the-moment, my partner & I decided to get out of town for the weekend. So we GOOGLED the situation & came up with a few options. We wanted something close to home(Crosby), so the best place around is Lake Livingston. We found The Yellow Rose Cabin online. A quick call verified availability. All set then. We arrived Friday night around 7pm. We took a short trip into town to get groceries. The rest of the weekend we hibernated.
The cabin is beautiful. Decorated in apples, fish & flowers. Quaint & kitschy is the decoration style. This place feels like a home away from home. The cabin has one bedroom with a king bed. The living area consists of a couch & recliner. (So if you have a 3rd guest, the couch is the place to put him). The kitchen is small, but serviceable. The place was clean and I have no complaints whatsoever regarding the housekeeping. Breakfast foods are included in in rental price. But be prepared...this is a B&B style cabin. You have to cook your own grub. But all utensils, pots,pans, etc are provided. (Its like staying at someone's house when they are not home).
The cabin backs up onto the water. There is a fishing pier leading down to the lake. We didn't fish, but there were plenty of pics on the fridge of 30+ lb catfish. Jon boat & paddle boat usage is also included with the price of rental. This place has trees & water & tranquility. A great place for major relaxation. There is also a swimming pool, but over the weekend, the outside thermometer showed -50 degrees. Needless to say, we did NOT swim.
Small dogs are allowed, but be prepared for JASPER. He's the camp "mascot", an ultra-large yellow lab with the friendliest lick in Texas. The owners Laurence & Sandy McAllister are helpful & courteous. They also rent other cabins, so there's sure to be something for everyone. I totally enjoyed my stay at The Yellow Rose & highly recommend this vacation spot.
