This is the second time we’ve rented this home and it just confirmed our original decision. It’s the perfect location for our group given the location on the lake and easy access to groceries, fishing tackle, and restaurants. We’ll be back again in the fall for another stay!

Awesome family getaway

My family had the best time at Keith‘s place. Can’t thank him enough for everything. The fish wasn’t biting, but that didn’t matter the kids loved swimming from the dock and tubing for hours in the lake plus their nightcap of s’mores just to wake up and do it all over again oh, and I can’t forget that beautiful sunrise this place has it all can’t wait to go back and make more memories

House features (dock, game room, dining, sleeping accommodations) were nice for a family lake event. Air conditioning worked great on this very hot weekend also. There were a few challenges that were handled in a timely manner by a responsive host. Good experience overall.

Wonderful Weekend!!!

This house was wonderful for our family vacation! It was very clean, inviting, and had plenty of room for everyone. We had a great time fishing, boating, playing board games, kayaking, grilling, relaxing on the porch, and enjoying the beautiful view! The neighborhood was quiet and located near stores and boat launches. Keith was very friendly and helpful and checked with us several times to see if we needed anything. I highly recommend staying here!

Perfect Birthday Trip

The property was perfect for our group of people! We went for my dads 79th birthday. It had a great boathouse for our pontoon and covered deck for gathering. It was very spacious with an abundance of beds! I do wish it would have had a list of chores to do before checkout, as I wasn't sure on what we needed to do before we left. But the property and host were amazing!

4th of July

This lake house was perfect for our group of 10. There was plenty of space in the house as well as a large boat dock with plenty of water frontage. The neighborhood is also very close to a dollar general, ice machine, and a public boat launch. Keith was in contact with us throughout the trip to ensure our stay was top notch.

About the host

Hosted by Keith Guidry

Host profile image
Our family simply fell in love with Toledo Bend years ago. We love fishing, watching the sunrise, sharing and making memories with family and finding a spiritual release in the piney woods of this wonderful space. If any of this describes what you love...welcome to "Casa sul Lago" (House of the Lake).

Why they chose this property

Pendleton Harbor offers our guest security and peace of mind. Very quiet neighborhood, close to bait & tackle shops, Ice machines, grocery shopping and gas station. Also, a new Dollar General Store can be found just outside the subdivision as well as a very fun and exciting "flea market" just down the street.

What makes this property unique

This small cove is well known for bass fishing. Easy access to boat launch at Pendleton Bridge, awesome view of the lake, Bald Eagles in the pine trees on the right side of the cove, lots of other water fowl and wild life, and the sunrise is simply breathtaking from the dock or back porch.
