Athens House | Historic Lodge on Private Campground

3 Bedroom House in Athens

Come stay in the historic Underwood Lodge, built in the 1920s, and conveniently located outside Athens, Texas, on a beautiful, private, non-profit church camp surrounded by towering pine trees and serene private lakes.
You'll get an excellent opportunity to get away from it all and take a step back in time, while staying close to city amenities.
The Underwood Lodge, built in the 1920s, is full of history and character. Many of the furnishings are original and/or antique and we strive to maintain the charm of the space while providing guests with updated amenities so they are as comfortable as possible. Each bedroom has a window A/C unit, ceiling fan, and space heater and there is a working antique heater in the living room along with the original fireplace.
The home is rustic, antique, and beautiful. We recommend spending the day outside enjoying our private campground. It covers a total of 534 mostly undisturbed acres, so you can expect to see some local wildlife. We routinely see deer, armadillo, opossum, raccoon, and hawk. Be sure to look up on a clear night and you'll get a great view of the stars!
You'll have access to outdoor recreation options within our campgrounds, including covered basketball court, sand volleyball courts, frisbee golf, and hiking trails.
When you're done exploring for the day, settle around the outdoor fire ring (we'll provide fire wood!), or with one of the many board games in our game closet in the living room.

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the woods and the view of the lake and the kids were wanting to stay longer, and come back soon! The historic Lodge has a large room for enjoying games and group time, and the porch was fantastic for sitting quietly and enjoying the lake.
