Thank you for your feedback and for choosing to stay with us. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the location. We would like to take this opportunity to clarify our pet policy for future guests. Our property is not designated as pet-friendly, and we ask that guests disclose any service animals before arrival whenever possible. While we fully respect and accommodate service animals, and have often approved pets when requested, advance notice allows us to properly prepare the home before and after the stay and ensure the best experience for all guests. When any animal, including an approved pet or service animal, stays at the property, they are not allowed on the bedding and furniture. This results in additional cleaning, particularly the removal of pet excessive hair and dander. Thorough cleaning is necessary to ensure the property remains comfortable and safe for future guests, including those who may have allergies or sensitivities. We have now updated our house rules to communicate this for future service animals. We appreciate open communication regarding animals staying at the property, as it helps us maintain the high standards of cleanliness and guest experience that all visitors expect. Thank you again for your stay, and we wish you all the best in your future travels.

This house was a perfect setting for our lake getaway. The house is perfect for a family of 10, spacious living room, gorgeous kitchen equipped with every thing you need. Large bedrooms with the most comfortable mattresses. You have direct access to the water and it’s a beautiful view from there sitting in the chaise lounge chairs. We caught a lot of fish and for a small fee gained access to some water toys. I would recommend this home 100% if you are looking for a perfect lake vacation.

Peaceful

Had a very nice stay this weekend. The cabin was very clean and had eveything we needed. Such a cute and peaceful scenery. The neighborhood was friendly yet kept to themselves. We really enjoyed the dock where we were allowed to leave the boat when not in use.

Great house on Toledo Bend. Very convenient location with stores and restaurants nearby. We loved using the boat dock to the leave our boat in the water. The house is well equipped with all of the essentials for a home away from home. Plenty of space to park trucks and boat trailers. The owners really have thought of everything. We will definitely be back.

Was absolutely perfect for our family of 10!

Everything was amazing! The host answered all of our questions before our stay almost instantly and without hesitation. The only thing that could have made it better, would have been a ladder on the boat dock to get out of the water for people swimming. Overall it was amazing!

Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us and for the wonderful feedback! We have just purchased a swim ladder for the boat dock and will have that installed within a couple weeks so it’ll be there waiting for you and any guests after July 5th. We appreciate your thoughtful suggestion.

Peaceful Getaway

Great location near local fishing and tackle spots. Between to close parks to take kids swimming. House was clean and cozy. A market basket was about half a mile away. Had stuff for children to keep entertained. Will definitely stay here again

Restful stay

A great place. Very happy we stayed here. We have stayed at many different vrbo's around the lake area. Other places we have stayed, haven't always turned out to be what we were expecting. We found this listing to be completely accurate and what you see in the listing is what you get. We loved the location, privacy, lake access and boat launch. The owners are great and easy to reach.

Perfect Getaway

This place was more than what we expected. Pictures don’t do it justice. It was the perfect getaway for our little family and very accommodating. The boat dock was a huge plus for us, being able to leave our boat in the water the whole stay. As well as the private back yard. Plenty of space for the kids to play. Love how it’s tucked away with no view of neighbors. Amazing host with very quick response. We will most definitely be back !!

Best Rental Experience Ever

We have nothing but compliments for Amy and her cozy rental property! It’s an absolutely lovely property. It was very clean and had all the amenities needed for a wonderful getaway. It’s very spacious and all the extras like playing cards and gaming system was a great addition. My grandson loved it. The neighborhood is so quiet and the boat launch was literally a couple minutes away. We will definitely be repeat renters! Thank you Amy!!
