Texas Forest Country Retreat

Texas Forest Country Retreat The Mansion on Sawmill Lake is a Texas historical treasure and outdoor wedding venue near Lufkin, Texas.

Set just south of Huntington—the Texas Forest Country Retreat's Mansion on Sawmill Lake makes a weekend away feel a trip back in time. Overlooking Sawmill Lake and the ghost town of Manning, this American Foursquare house made from virgin long leaf pine was once the home of an East Texas lumber baron. Now, guests can enjoy the house's four bedrooms, all featuring plush queen beds and luxurious rob

es and towels. Each room has some unique features as well, like the Heart to Heart's cast-iron sleigh tub, the Whippoorwill room's antique fireplace, the handmade rocking chair in the Stephen F. Austin room, and the Miss Ruby's room balcony, which affords guests the property's best view.

Who needs elaborate decor when the scenery already does the work? ✨

Towering trees, glowing lights, peaceful water views, and the kind of East Texas beauty that feels romantic without even trying. At Mansion on Sawmill Lake, couples fall in love with the natural atmosphere just as much as the venue itself.
