Fox Meadows

As you turn down the dirt road to the guest homes of Fox Meadows, you can leave the worries of everyday life behind you. Come let the stars be your nightlight. Let the birds be your wake-up call. Let the rocking chairs be your evening entertainment. We attract bird watchers, astronomers, outdoor enthusiasts, lovers, and couch potatoes.

Fox Meadows Nature Conservatory is located between Athens and Palestine on 50 acres in the Post Oak Savannah. There are 3.5 miles of hiking trails through natural grasses, around ancient trees and alongside beautiful native wildflowers. Take your lunch to one of five shady picnic areas and enjoy the many species of native birds. Spend the afternoon fishing in our five-acre catch-and-release lake and let the night sky amaze you with its endless stars.
Fox Meadows offers four guest homes that can sleep up to four each. Our guest homes offer a full kitchen, wood-burning or gas log fireplace, and indoor and outdoor dining areas. The guest homes at Fox Meadows are fully handicap accessible. Additionally we provide you with a continental breakfast in your home each day. So whether you are relaxing in front of a warm fire or enjoying the evening breeze on the front porch, you’ll find life in the country is great.

The pictures on the website do not do this place justice. Some of my favorite things about our visit: the quiet, the walking trails, the birds, the comfy bed, the books, the attention paid to small details.

Fox Meadows met our need for having a place that was away from the city, but not too far to drive. It was so peaceful and very quiet.

Review Fox Meadows, Palestine, TX

Photo Album

The living area reflects the charm of the original Texas dogtrot style home with all of today’s modern conveniences. The kitchen is fully appointed with refrigerator / icemaker, oven, microwave and everything needed for a cozy cook-in meal.Throughout the house all cabinets and furniture were built from wood rescued from a home circa 1925 located on the property.  Each piece demonstrates the craft of the artisans who spent hours giving the wood new life.
Fox Meadows is located in the highest area of Anderson County.  The rolling hills provide scenic views from the front porch.Lake Lil is our 5-acre lake that provides a home for our ducks.  It offers you a picnic area, catch and release fishing and time for quiet reflection.
