Holiday Inn Club Vacations Villages Resort at Lake Palestine, an IHG Hotel
3.5 star property
8.4 out of 10, Very good, (373)
"We only stayed for one night; but, will certainly hope to go back again for a longer stay. In November, the sun sets early—so, after checking in at 4pm and taking our boat to the marina and making the arrangements to place it in a stall overnight, we were really out of daylight to explore the property. We were thankful there was still time to order food from the restaurant (grill.) Everything that we saw was very clean and inviting. Our villa was a very pleasant place. We had some time to relax...

Wonderful 13 Acre East Texas Getaway near Canton on 3 Stocked Ponds!
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (163)
"We had a very enjoyable and relaxing time and appreciate that we were able to bring our dogs with us. It was so much fun seeing their reactions to the woods and ponds while hiking around with them. Fishing right off the deck to the cabin was great for my wife with her limited mobility and we could have caught as many as we wanted. It is a beautiful property which I have visited before and will visit again in the future "
