This was a great experience with the process easy, price was fair, and the host was friendly upon arrival to say hello and make sure we knew where everything was. Everything was clean and wall stocked so it made cooking and picking up easy. As additional notes about my "Well Stocked" comment. I prefer a house to a hotel greatly because I am usually fishing early in the morning and like to cook breakfast before getting on the water. The kitchen had pots and pans, plenty of good cooking utensils, and the stove worked great. We traveled with two boats and there was plenty of room for parking and easy to access the electric to plug them in to charge. Overall it was a great experience.

Our favorite VRBO by far! The place is decorated so pretty and absolutely spotless. The beds were very comfortable with soft, smooth sheets. The kitchen was stocked with everything you would need. The location is beautiful with the pond and we watched three deer walk by. The hosts even stopped by to introduce themselves and are such a nice, friendly couple. We will be staying here again!

We had a great stay at this cabin and really enjoyed our time. It was a perfect spot for a fishing trip. Very peaceful, comfortable, and exactly what we were looking for.The cabin was clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We spent most of our time out fishing and it was a great location for that. After a long day on the water, it was nice to come back and unwind.Overall, a very positive experience. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, clean comfortable fishing cabin.

Our hosts have always gone above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. The cabin is absolutely beautiful and stocked with anything you need to make wonderful memories. If it’s not there, I bet they would get it for you. Besides the cabin, the acreage is just breathtaking. We will continue to stay here on our future getaways!

Lazy 8 is a gem

Lazy 8 is such a neat place especially with all of the extras the property has. The She Shed is such a cute place, the stocked pond, the picnic area and the entire property is a secure area with the gated entrance . We will be coming back. It is also a perfect place for a girls trip

Fishing getaway

We were very impressed with the property. Very clean and inviting. The decor was fitting of a country cottage. We were in the area for fishing so we didn’t get to explore the area that much or the property itself as it has a small pond for fishing and a she shed. We both agreed that this would be a great place to take the family next time we’re in the area.

The place is beautiful and serene. There are hummingbird feeders hanging on the porch and other feeders throughout the property. The hummingbirds definitely show up. The pond is fun. I caught 2 big catfish. They have an adorable she shed. We did not use it but we did go in and look around. The cottage is very nice inside and out. They have everything you need.Lance and Pat are great hosts and we will definitely stay here again.

Great East Texas Getaway

The Lazy 8 Cottage is on a beautiful East Texas property. Lance and Pat were the best hosts that I have ever encountered. I usually rent a home by a lake to fish tournaments or for fun, usually with one or both of my sons. This time, I was visiting Lake Fork with my oldest son and we were in a tournament on Sunday. Before we arrived, Lance did an amazing job of communicating all the details I needed to know. Upon arrival, I was blown away with the layout and detail of the property. It was obvious Lance and Pat are detail oriented owners. There was every item we needed to make our trip perfect. There is a washer and dryer, we used the dryer to dry out our rain soaked gear. The kitchen was fully stocked, coffee bar even had an option for frothed cream, and the charcuterie board that was waiting for us was over the top. The location can't be beat. There is a boat ramp right up the road. I will absolutely make this my top choice the next time I return to Lake Fork.
