Family getaway

We enjoyed our stay at this home. We loved the fishing dock and swimming area. Each bedroom was separated and private with access to bathrooms. The grandkids loved playing checkers and darts inside. The views were spectacular in the morning. The house was nestled in a quiet neighborhood. Having kayaks was fun for the grandkids to row around the cove in. Everyone had a great time at this rental. We are definitely booking this one again!

Amazing stay!

House had everything we needed to accomodate our large group! We were 4 families with approximately 22-24 people! Everyone had a place to sleep!! Lots of extras like water noodles, floats, folding chairs and the grill. The host was super accessible and answered quickly. Over all we have this place saved under a favorite to come back to.

Slice of Heaven

Stayed with friends and family for an extended weekend. Absolutely loved this property. Pretty much spent the entire weekend outside at the boat dock enjoying the water and fishing. Setup of the home was unique and we really enjoyed the dual kitchens. Host was very easy to communicate with and we will definitely be back to enjoy this wonderful property.

Grand Trip

It was the best trip ever. It was so much fun and relaxing in spite of the weather. The kids took the kayaks out and explored the banks and we sat on the dock in the swings and enjoyed the view. The house has everything to offer. We fried fish, we barbecued and so much more. Plan to book again

Relaxing getaway

This was out first time to Toledo Bend, and we were so impressed with this property. The house had plenty of room and was very clean! We had 3 families in the home, and there were places for the kids as well as the adults. The view of the lake and dock were amazing. Brandon was very helpful and available for questions.The neighborhood is small, safe, and the people were friendly. We would definitely stay here again!

Relaxing and funnn!!!

We stayed for 2 weeks and had such a wonderful time. We were able to have fun and relax whenever the time was right. We had family come see us sporadically for a couple special occasions and were just delighted to be able to have plenty of space amongst us. There are plenty little hang out areas and the kayaks were so fun. We definitely are hooked!!! Brandon was pleasant to deal with we would love to come back ASAP!!! Thank you!!

Beautiful Home

The house was beautiful, clean, with plenty of room. Many different sitting areas outside including the back porch, a screened in porch and deck with an outside bathroom. Boat house was very nice, with deck on top. We loved sitting in the swinging chairs on the boat house deck! The view of the lake was spectacular. We were able to park two boats underneath the carport to keep them out of the weather which was a bonus! Highly recommend this property! Owner was very friendly and responsive.

Thank you for the great review and taking such good care of the house. So glad you enjoyed the singing chairs, you were the first to use them (installed them right before your stay).

Lakeside Dream

Every person in our family continued to say how awesome this place was all weekend. The layout was perfect! There was room for everyone. We fished, played games, played on the hill, had a fire and so much more. It was absolutely perfect. You will NOT find better! Communication with the owner was top notch. The place was perfect and we really didnt need to contact him, but when we did, he was so friendly and helpful. Can not recommend this place enough! Our goal is to be back this summer!
