Jeff’s Cottage … This little hideaway is on a secluded cove. But, it’s not too hidden away to be more than a stone’s throw from great fishing and stores, gas, night life and pretty close to anything else you want.
It’s bigger than it looks… as you will see. The lower floor is it’s own space with sleeping area and bath and plenty of room for a gathering, too. The laundry room is off this area, as well.
This large and scenic lot has water on two sides and an easy walk to the wide, beautiful cove. Fish from the bank or hop in your boat and head out of this cove and into Lanana Bay just off the main lake body.
This house has just been renovated and is much like a new house – but with the character of an older one. The large living area opens into the adjoining kitchen and dining areas. The whole house is nicely appointed and you’re going to get a great night’s sleep in either of the two bedrooms.

Jeff’s cottage was a perfect place for our family. The cottage is older but in good condition with plenty of room to spread out. Very clean inside and out. The pics don’t show it but there is a porch on the back of the cabin, perfect spot for your morning coffee. We plan to come again in a couple of months!

Overall ok place. Tucked way back in cove. AC could not keep up at all! It ran the entire time. Could not get WI-FI password from owner. Sent multiple messages on Fri & Sat, but didn't get a response till Monday morning, once we were back home. There was a nice basket of snacks on the counter.

Hi Dennis, we are so sorry you had that issue. The Wi-Fi info is on the Wi-Fi box, which is located under the living room tv. VRBO doesn't always notify us when messages come in. Also, Beside the snack basket we have a binder with all our info in it to call or text us directly if anything should arise. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience. If we had known, we would have done what we could to make it right. again we apologize.
Bed linens were a little stale and could have used washing to freshen up. A/c was good at night but tolerable at day . Low water pressure but ok . Overall good little place for a fishing trip .
House was fine overall but could use some decor/interior updates, improve landscaping, and detailed cleaning. Quiet neighborhood. However, not much attractions in the area. A good place to unplug and hang out on the dock.
The cabin was immaculate and extremely clean!! The experience was quiet and peaceful.. check in and check out was a breeze.. PERFECT!! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had a nice time. The house was very clean. Nice and cool and appliances worked great. Boat landing just down the street. Me and my family had a good stay.
We enjoyed our stay here. The kids loved having the whole downstairs to themselves! Toledo town is only 10 minutes away and boat launch just up the road. The kids loved fishing off the dock and we were able to leave our small boat in the water tied up instead of having to launch everyday. The area was very quiet a peaceful.
The place was awesome I would definitely stay again
The place was amazing plenty of room for the kids!!

Nice mid lake location close to stores.
We liked the camp, it is very nice. Well stocked with the essentials. It's a nice place to stay if you don't have a boat. We go to Toledo Bend to fish and we bring our boats. The issue is there is no pier and the shore has cypress knees. Also there is no shore power. My main concern with the camp is that there is no smoke detectors, I'm a firefighter and this bothered me.

Thanks for the review Lori, reviews helps us with anything that we have missed that needs attention. We will get the smoke detectors taken care of. On the pier the one that was there and in the picture needed major repairs so we tore it down and will be replacing it with a walkway and floating dock. The lake came up but as soon as the water goes down far enough the new one will be in place. There are a lots of cypress knees there but with the walk way and a floating dock it will be far enough into the lake making it easy to use and dock your boat. Will see what we can to about power to the dock.
Thanks again for booking with us while you were on the Toledo Bend

Very nice visit
Loved our stay here. Mostly it was comfortable, and very enjoyable. My son and daughter in law also enjoyed. Only one issue. Couldn’t get the hot and cold water to regulate in the main floor shower. Downstairs bath was perfect and no problem. My husband said I must have done something wrong, but I’m sure I didn’t. I got scalded then frozen. Please check this. We really loved our stay, and are hoping to come back soon.
