At the end of 2 dead ends. Hideaway at Sunflower Hideaway. Sounds of nature, fresh air & wooded lot beckons harried couples, birders, & eager fishermen here. On 1 acre of land, the 1/1 mobile home cottage is in the back of a neighborhood, on a quiet cove, centrally located in the heart of Toledo Bend Lake. Walk across the yard and enjoy private water in water cove. Bird feeders, birdbaths, nestboxes, & even a Chimney Swift tower will tempt you to become a bird watcher if not already. Sunflower whimsy will bring smiles. Spotty Wi-Fi & cell service can be a blessing or an excuse if the office calls during your escape. Owners live next door, close enough should a need arise, but far enough away for your privacy.
For Fishermen:
Centrally located near many tournaments. A few miles to Harborlight Marina & Pendleton Harbor, 17 miles to Cypress Bend. Our private drive connects two dead ends. No need to back up, just pull through! Plenty of space to park trailer. Park close to door for ease of unloading and loading electronics, iceboxes, etc. There is a neighborhood launch several doors down within walking distance, not the best, but free! Marinas close by with a small fee. Electrical outlet and cords easily accessible to charge up boat battery. Pier is in a deep cove, where you can dock your boat. Water hose to rinse off boat.

What is a bed AND breakfast without breakfast? Homemade egg/sausage/cheese muffins wait in fridge that you can heat & eat at your convenience, juice in fridge. Usually pizza is in the freezer for late arrivals or a quick meal.
Outdoors belongs to Mother Nature, and have to share with my husband! Watch for spiders & snakes, poison ivy too. Watch your step, roots, sticks stickers and vines around. Hubby's job is generators, his work supplies doesoverflow onto our 1 acre of land. My landscaping sucks, work in progress, but still relaxing to sit and listen to crickets & frogs at night or enjoy the quietness of the morning. Pesky amazing squirrels can find sunflower seeds and eat before the stalk comes up or flower can bloom. If not in a burn ban, & weather permitting for safe burn, we have a burn area with wood or yard debris available. Beaver, raccoon, possum sightings are possible. Short drive to hiking trails and even kayak water trail.
