Fox Meadows
-
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.

3.8 out of 5Relaxing & Comfortable Stay at Fox Meadows
March 25, 2013
We went for a quick two day stay at Fox Meadows for our first visit. It was very relaxing and comfortable. They provided everything to make our stay perfect. We loved the birdfeeder outside our window with supplied us with ample bird watching. There are only two guest houses but they are split to accommodate two families per house. They are separated by a nice breezeway. So people traffic was minimal. Very quiet! We cooked most of our meals but ate dinner in Athens and Palestine which was a quick drive. We will definitely come again.

October 29, 2012
We opened the cabin and everyone said "OH WOW". That's a great opener and that's the way it ended! The Breakfast was more than ample, with homemade Pumpkin Bread, juice, milk, eggs, fruit, butter. We met with friends, bbq'd steak and chicken, watched lovely lavendar sunsets and golden sunrises. Built a fire in the fireplace, enjoyed migrating geese on the lake...and the nature trails and bucks. Just a lovely time.
