We really liked famous Stanley's bbq over 1k YELP reviews. Beautiful place to stay and a SUPER NICE HOST so helpful sharing info about Tyler. The Mustard Seed is located within 1-1.2 miles from the two major hospitals and Tyler Junior College, and Bergfield Park and Children's Park are within walking distance.

I took my mother and son to Palestine, TX last year so that we could ride the Polar Express (Texas…read moreState Railroad). We stayed in a Fox Meadows guest home which was off the beaten path, by far, but that just added to its charm. Beautiful land with wildlife surrounded us. Our cozy guest home had a large bedroom (where my mom slept), bathroom, adorable kitchen stocked with everything including a huge basket of goodies for breakfast and a living room with a couch that had a fold out bed that me and my son slept on. The living room was decked out with Christmas tree and decorations. The fireplace in the living room was wonderful to have. There were many books and knicknacks for my son to explore and in the living room we had a tv with DVD and VHS player, along with a huge selection of DVDs and VHS. Their policy is that you can take a movie or book with you when you leave if you leave another one behind. There are trails to explore right out of the back door. The owners are a delight. I hope to have a chance to stay here again soon.

DO NOT STAY HERE! The owner is very difficult to work with and will keep your deposit no matter…read morewhat. The grounds keeper was super friendly, but that didn't do us much good. We rented several of the houses for a conference here in summer 2015. Right off the bat, it seemed nice; however, many things soon went wrong. First, the AC wasn't working in the main house where we were holding our meetings for the conference and where many people were sleeping. The grounds keeper was super friendly and attentive. She came and "fixed" it, but it only worked well momentarily. The rest of the week it was hardly cooling the place down. The fridge and freezer stopped working in the main house also where we kept all of our food (good thing we realized it, otherwise our food would've spoiled). We tried to be good guests and wash the dish towels we soiled; however, the washer wouldn't drain after many, many tries. None of these issues were our fault, but were due to faulty, ancient appliances. Still, we tried to keep a good attitude and "make the most of it." After all, the show must go on. Upon departing the grounds, everyone cleaned each house we occupied very well and left everything as we found it upon arrival. We even had a few people walk through each house afterwards to double check. To our surprise, the owner claimed half of our deposit. We asked her for her reasoning. She could not give us much explanation other than a few plates that were left by the pool, which we tried to explain were not ours. If anything, we should have not only received our full deposit back but also a discount for all the trouble we experienced. I cannot in good conscience recommend this place to anyone. I repeat, DO NOT stay here. P.S. The only other review on here to date is by Mary Ellen, the owner herself, so I'd disregard it, if I were you.

There is a schedule of activities to do but you are gently told to do what you want and take what you want from the retreat. I really enjoyed the yoga, meditation and making vision board. This is a unique experience because you meet the most amazing women and the sense of community was much needed.

We also got to meet Teresa at our retreat as well - she is the owner of the location. This is the perfect yoga/ relaxation retreat if you want to get away and recharge. There are multiple workshops and yoga classes and they also have a fun art and craft activities as well. It's a great place to meet other women, create friendships and bond in nature. It is located away from the city and is surrounded by trees. It is a very relaxing location. Shout out to Dana who gave the most amazing massage ever! Also a huge shout out to Angel as well who is the retreat chef. The food here was so tasty and fresh! I get food anxiety because I am vegetarian and I hate going places where I don't have anything to eat. This place has plenty of options for vegetarians and others with different dietary needs. My friend and I had so much fun here, I am so glad she found it and we were able to go together! I do wish they had some sort of charging station at the retreat as it would have been so helpful since the nearest one is about 30 miles away. All in all I would definitely recommend this retreat to others that are interested!
