Cabin was very clean and comfortable. Did our best fishing in the cove where the house was located. Very quiet area. It was an adult get away this time, but the cabin is well equipped for kids and dogs.

We had a great visit! The house is really cozy and welcoming. It is out of the way (which is exactly what we wanted). The property is right on the water, and we even caught a few fish. We would definitely recommend!

Great piece of property with lake access! The owner was fantastic with communicating in a fast manner! Be prepared with some bug spray but it’s the lake so that’s exactly what to expect! Had a blast and our trip was great!

This a a great property for fishing Toledo Bend. Check in was a breeze and we had all of the creature confits of home. Gully stocked kitchen with a full size fridge, stove, coffee pot, dishes and cookware. The boat slip was easy to use and had power available for charging the boat batteries each night. Access to the main lake and boat lanes was easy and quick as well. The host was super responsive, even after hours, beds were comfortable and everything was really clean. Definitely recommend this spot for a budget friendly fishing getaway.

Our stay was just *okay*
Nothing about this property real blew us away. I think your impression of it is clouded by it being located almost literally in a junk yard, and the outside of the property itself is not as tidy as the pictures lead you to think it is. There are piles of random junk outside and around the patio area. That being said, the inside is better. It's a homey feel, almost like you're at a relative's house. Everything we needed and more was provided. The home could use some cosmetic love, but was overall lovely. I would consider staying at this property again, but would pass it up easily for something more tidy.

Weekend getaway
Awesome place and will definitely book again. Very pet friendly and hosts quickly responded to every message. This is what a lake house should be. One suggestion is, if it’s cold bring plenty of firewood. We brought a little but because it was in the 20’s we could have used more lol.

Family trip
Grandparents, adult kids, and 3 granddaughters with 2 dogs, we had the most relaxing time!! Everything we needed was onsite plus more- lots of games, fishing worms, firewood, fully stocked. We enjoyed the fire pit and a lot of time at the pier fishing- caught several. Plenty of room in the house, we had 7. My dogs loved the dog food/water area, toys, kennel, we didn’t even unpack everything we packed. Best time!!

Comfy and cozy
Looking for a quiet place to spend with family or friends, then this is the place to stay. Two full baths, two bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen open to living room and dining room. There is a Dollar General about 5 minutes away in case you forget something. There is a boat slip, but if you don’t have a boat, no worries just fish off the bank.
The host is great and easy to reach if needed. Looking forward to our next trip!
