Charming Cottage Snuggled in Main Lake Cove with Perfect Location and Views

The Holy Toledo Lake House is the perfect get away from it all for fishing, family, fun and relaxation. Snuggled on a deep water cove right off the main lake between Negreet Creek and Pirates Cove, and only a 6 minute boat ride from Housen Creek, this cottage style lake house is perfect for the most die hard bass fisherman or quality family time. Newly renovated and furnished, this quaint 2 bedroom home has everything you are looking for. The master bedroom is equipped with a queen size bed, perfect for an adult couple. The second bedroom has a bunk bed with a twin at the top, full at the bottom, and full mattress pull out. Both bedrooms come with freshly washed sheets and comfortable full size pillows. Additionally, the living room has a wood burning fireplace and a beautiful leather queen sleeper sofa that makes it comfortable to sleep 5 to 7 people in the house. This house has 2 full bathrooms, equipped with towels and wash cloths, and a washer and dryer. The kitchen is fully stocked and includes an electric stove, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, blender and all cooking and eating necessities. Better yet, the house is equipped with high speed WIFI and Dish Network cable. There are 3 flat screen TV's located in the living room and one in each bedroom. Finally, perhaps the best feature of the home is a large covered back porch with ceiling fans great for cooking, grilling and hanging out, equipped with a dual burner outdoor stove and a charcoal BBQ pit. Along with a outside fire pit area to enjoy a yummy marshmallow roast. Whether it is starting your morning with a warm cup of coffee or winding down a long day of fishing on the lake, this is the PERFECT place for you.

This house has a beautiful boardwalk and wharf (for boats to tie up to), with a fish cleaning station, located on the water. There is a power supply at the wharf to provide electricity for battery charging access for boats. Additionally, the house comes provided with 4 kayak’s for all of our guest to use.

For golf or relaxation, Cypress Bend Resort and Golf Course is only located 24 miles from our home. This is a world class golf course with incredible views of the lake, spa and other amenities. Also, the South Toledo Bend State Park is only 14 miles away for campers and other outdoor enthusiasts. Finally, if you have an eye for shopping, flea markets or antiques, there are numerous opportunities for you in this area to explore.

The nearest boat launch’s are Kites boat landing (currently closed due to low water levels), Big Bass Marina (call to confirm if water levels are low) and Pirates cove.

Also available is Pontoon Boat Rentals about 23.4 miles from our Lakehouse at:

Such a cute house in the perfect location!
This house was adorable. It was in a great location-a cove leading into Toledo Bend. It was easy to get here with the hosts directions. Check in process was very simple. Everything you could possibly need plus more with this rental. We used a kayak and fished off the dock frequently. We actually caught more fish from the dock vs the lake lol. Safe neighborhood and close to Kites Landing boat launch. Great communication with owners. Rules very clear prior to arriving to rental (trash issue so we were prepared). Would recommend! Thank you.

Beautiful and quiet location on the water and close to gas station and store if needed. Hosts were very quick to respond to any questions we had. Definitely a great first experience using VRBO and visiting Toledo Bend.

Overall a great little secluded spot
Beautiful, quiet location. Well equipped with everything you need both inside and out from grill to firepit, towels, kitchen utensils, fish cleaning area, kayaks, washer/dryer, coffee pot and more. Made it easy to move home to home for the week. We remembered reading that there were paddleboards online and were slightly disappointed there were only 4 kayaks so this may have been an update/change in the listing at some point but it didn't ruin our trip. Given the remote location, owner requires you to take trash with you to a local dump spot. We tried to do this within their opening hours and they were closed. Thankfully the owner was flexible with us to leave the trash behind since there was zero room in our car with luggage and 5 kids. Only minor complain was cleanliness of the cabin. Under drawers, beds etc needed some attention. We know it's hard to maintain cleanliness in a remote location like this with all the bugs etc that fly in the second you open the door at night so we didn't expect perfection but perhaps a little more attention to some of those neglected areas would be good.

Heaven on Earth!
We love this place! This is our second stay at Holy Toledo & we cannot wait to return! It's an older home but has been renovated & is beautifully decorated. It is located in a small cove but the lake is visible from the deck & the dock. The use of their four kayaks is such a great addition. We take them just out the cove, to a small point to hang out or stay inside the cove and fish. CM2 guide service is great with young adults! We highly recommend them. The kitchen is stocked with most everything you need. The beds are comfy & window coverings make it nice & dark just in case you want to sleep in. BBQ pit was prefect for grilling fajita beef. Fire pit was prefect for roasting smores! Our boys learned how to clean fish at the fish cleaning station. It is a great addition. You can't go wrong staying here! It was such a relaxing vacation with beautiful views. My Heaven on Earth!

This was an adorable house that you can tell they pay special attention to details. It was clean and the location was perfect for our families Mother's Day weekend. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks again for sharing your lovely little slice of heaven. My kids can't quit talking about how much fun they had and when we will get to come back.

Holy Toledo Cabin
My pre-trip experience with the host was exceptional. Rainy weather conditions conflicted with the scheduled days we had reserved. The host was gracious enough to move our reservations one day without additional charges and allowed us to successfully enjoy our fishing trip with great weather! The cabin is very functional as everything worked well, comfortable and well decorated. We were a bit disappointed in the lack cleanliness upon arrival (dirty floors and beds) and the fact that all trash generated during your stay had to leave with you - not even a dumpster in the area. Overall experience was good, but for the price, there are other cabins in the area that should be considered.
