New innkeepers and on-site event planning team took over this month at Texas Forest Country Retreat according to owners Bob and Genie Flournoy.
James and Jennifer Coogler reside on-site, providing full-service hospitality for bed and breakfast guests as well as those attending special events.
The couple has a special tie to the historic site. On June 14, 2014, they were married at The Mansion on Sawmill Lake, one of two locations at the rural retreat. They fell in love with the property and the idea of helping others plan their own perfect experience at Texas Forest Country Retreat.
Jennifer, a life-long resident of Lufkin, “brings a keen eye to detail and a passion for party planning,” said Bob. James, a former Houston-area resident. “He brings with him the love of gardening, wood-working, and superb culinary skills,” Bob continued. “Together, they make an amazing team.”
“We fell in love with them,” Genie said. “They are exactly what we need to provide the management and care that this resort destination deserves.”

ABOUT:
Texas Forest Country Retreat offers a variety of accommodations and venues that provide the “get away from it all” destination perfect for retreats, anniversaries, reunions, weddings, club meetings and simple couple getaways.
The Mansion on Sawmill Lake is the ultimate romantic getaway. It was the majestic home of an East Texas timber baron and his family. Built entirely from virgin longleaf pine, The Mansion is an American Four Square with craftsman influence style that overlooks the Sawmill Lake and the ruins of the old ghost town of Manning. The Mansion offers 4 bedrooms, two balconies and a sunroom for complete relaxation and enjoyment.
For those looking for a more rustic retreat, they will love Beaver Creek Lodge – the getaway of getaways. Located off the beaten path about one mile from the Mansion, it is secluded from the noise of traffic and people so you can enjoy the beautiful sounds of nature and just relax.
The Carriage House is perfect for the Meeting of the Board with A/V, Internet and plenty of room to spread out and step outside to clear the head for great ideas!
