This house was just as pictured! It was very clean and check-in was extremely easy. The lake view was incredible and absolutely peaceful! My 3 and 5 year old loved it so much, the said they prefer it over a beach trip! Just a very relaxed vibe all the way around. Would for sure recommend to anyone wanting a little rest and relaxation!

Loved the cabin! We were at the lake for a family reunion and stayed there with my sister and brother. The cabin was a great size to accommodate our needs. The cabin was very clean and beds were comfortable. The kitchen is stocked extremely well for cooking. I loved that there were extra dishes and silver ware which prevented having to do dishes after each meal. We had our boat, so it was nice to be able to launch there and keep it at the dock in front of the cabin. I think everyone agreed that the patio was the best as we set out and had coffee each morning and throughout the day. It was also nice that the patio had two fans! It was a little tight in trying to back the boat out but other than that, there is plenty of parking for our family plus the boat trailer. Host was great and always responded timely to questions. We will definitely be back!!

Louisiana resident for the last 25 years. Have been hosting Short Term rentals on Toledo Bend for 20. Love the lake and love to renovate properties.

Why they chose this property

The views of Lanan Bay are just breathtaking from Knott Drive.

What makes this property unique

We love the Better Knott Lodge mostly due to the labor we put into the renovation. It is the sister property to The Y Knott Lodge next door.
