Beautiful 2.5 acre stocked pond steps from the front porch. The fishing pier is available for fishing or catching some sun. There are deck chairs, an aluminum boat, and a fire pit with Adirondack chairs, blankets and marshmallow roasting sticks! Ample parking for several vehicles and room for your boat. The dual BBQ grill (butane or charcoal) is ready -you supply the burgers or steaks! Bring your fishing gear, your float or a good book-the rest is waiting for you.

Nestled in the trees, this family oriented retreat feels remote & secluded. In reality you are actually only minutes away from many modern conveniences. There are many outdoor opportunities in the area for nature lovers. If that’s not your thing, we are within a short driving distance to shopping, dining and other entertainment opportunities.

You are literally in the backyard of Caney Lake and the Spillway. This hidden gem is a stone's throw away from the public boat launch. Caney is known for its bass and crappie fishing, as well as recreational water sports. Hooks Marina has live bait, boat fuel, food and a fun outdoor dining experience with live entertainment on most weekend nights.

You are 10 minutes from Chatham. Chatham has a Family Dollar Store, two convenience/grocery stores, a restaurant and a bank.

Jimmie Davis State Park is 9 minutes away with its renowned fishing, many miles of hiking & biking trails, large public beach and picnic area, as well as a splash pad for lots of family fun. There are several boat launches, as well as RV spots, and other facilities for rent.

Jonesboro (25 min) has a Walmart, grocery store, banks, hardware store and an abundance of fast food & dine-in restaurants. One can have a full day of fun wandering through the 4-5 antique/flea markets in Jonesboro. This is also the nearest trauma hospital to our location.

Historic downtown Ruston is 35 min away. Home of LA Tech, the famous Peach Festival and many unique shops and restaurants.

West Monroe and Monroe (45 min) have many recreational opportunities, antique & retail shopping and unlimited dining options.

The house is within easy driving distance to many other fishing and recreational lakes and rivers. When the fish don’t seem to be biting at one you have lots of other opportunities nearby.

If gaming is your thing the Choctaw Pines Casino is 1 hour away. An hour and 45 minutes away are many casinos, shopping opportunities and dining in Bossier City and Shreveport.

This property has been in our family for over 100 years. My grandfather (Pawpaw) built this house himself in the mid 1980’s. He stayed busy into his early 90’s; he enjoyed mowing his own yard, cutting his own fire wood, building deer stands and fighting off beavers and alligators. He loved nature and all it had to offer-duck hunting, deer hunting and, well, just about any kind of hunting. He enjoyed watching and feeding the birds, squirrels, and deer on his property.

His pride and joy was the pond. He loved to help and watch the generations of his family fish in his pond. He would wait to feed the fish when the great grand kids were around just to watch their faces light up. If you reeled in a big one he would get the scale so he could weigh it. If it was a ‘good one’ he’d sometimes make you toss it back to grow bigger.

What a beautiful place…Pawpaw’s place! This spot is well taken care of. You can feel the love from the inside out. The house is spacious and very well stocked. If you forgot it, Dawn has already thought about it. Being outside and enjoying the fire pit was our favorite part. Beautiful clean pond. I can’t say enough about this property. If you are ready to relax, come and enjoy!!!

About the host

Hosted by Dawn Stott

Host profile image
We are Randy and Dawn. We are happy to share our little slice of paradise with our guests. We got into the short term rental business recently. This property has been in our family for many years. Dawn's grandfather built the house in the mid-eighties. For a long time the property was used only a few times a year. We decided to give it a new life and share it with others. There have been several updates since the 80's but its been a labor of love. Our family and our extended family love to spend time here. There is something for everyone in every age group to do. We hope you will find it as relaxing and memorable as we do.

Why they chose this property

This property offers guests a private place to relax and reconnect with family and friends. The stocked pond is steps from the front door. There are aluminum boats and a pedal boat, if you're energetic. There is an amazing fire pit with adirondack chairs to roast hot dogs or make smores, or just wind down with a drink and catch up. We have a play area for kids with swings, a sand box, tether ball. For the kids at heart we have out
door games such as Corn Hole and Jenga, or even a game of tether ball. Not into that? How about a porch swing or a rocking chair to take in the view and fresh air? There is a dual fuel grill-charcoal or gas its your choice. It's truly a beautiful, peaceful place to stay. We've been renting since April of 2020 and have not had one person not be thrilled with the place.

What makes this property unique

The view is amazingly peaceful! The most unique benefit is the sense of complete privacy when you are actually only a minute away from a Caney Lake boat landing and Hook's Marina. Hook's has an awesome family-friendly atmosphere on summer weekends with live entertainment, food and drinks. Jimmie Davis State Park is only a 9 minute drive by car or just minutes by boat. They have a splash pad, beach area, picnic tables, grills, volleyball, areas to ride bikes and hiking trails.

We have parking to accomodate several cars and trucks and a boat or two.

For modern conveniences or a quick trip for something you forgot-You are only 10 minutes to Chatham, 30 minutes to Jonesboro, 45 minutes to West Monroe.
