We’ve stayed at this house multiple times and it is always neat and clean. It has a good view of the lake and the kayaks are fun to paddle around the cove.
We enjoyed our stay! The lake house had everything we needed, very comfortable and beautifully decorated. We caught a lot of fish from the dock. We would definitely recommend and will stay again!
This was our second time renting this lake house and has become our favorite place to stay when we visit Toledo Bend! It’s so peaceful and beautiful and we plan to stay here again for future visits.
It was absolutely relaxing! We enjoyed the quietness. The house was a great size for my family of 4. Only thing I wish it had was a washer and dryer. My legs hurt from climbing up and down the stares but I got a good workout in. The house had all the basic you need.
GREAT LOCATION Nice camp to stay. Little hard to get a bass boat in and out because of steep driveway in down hill.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! The road coming in has taken a beating over the last year with all the storms; we are working with the Parish to remedy the issues.
My family very much enjoyed the property. The children loved the kayaks and canoes. We enjoyed fishing, sitting by the fire and grilling food. The house was clean and had everything that we could need. The owner was very kind and easy to communicate with. We would love to return to the property!
Wonderful property!!! We saw eagles, Canadian geese, caught fish on the dock with my 4 year old. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to unwind and recenter.
Very nice place. View was great. Sunrises and sunsets were beautiful. Only negative was one of the roads getting there has major potholes and needs some repairing.

Thank you for the review; we are glad you enjoyed your stay! Please know that we are constantly engaging the Parish to fix the roads in our area. Sadly it's a bureaucratic process, and funds are not always available, or they are used in other areas.

Our family of 5 had a great stay at Steel Magnolia! We loved the property. Being right on the water is beautiful and the dock and water toys made it even better. Would highly recommend!

About the host
Hosted by Steel Magnolia
Hello! I grew up spending my summers and holidays at my Grandparents’ home on Toledo Bend; so the lake and that area has always held a very special place in my heart. While browsing online one day we found this beautiful home and couldn’t pass it up! We currently work and live overseas and spend our time there when we are in the states, but while we are not there it’s only fair to share this beautiful home and stunning sunsets with others.
Why they chose this property
We bought this home sight unseen from 8000 miles away based on an online listing and photos . The photos did not do the home justice and the home was even better than we'd imagined! We could not be more pleased and it is everything you could want in a lake house. Peaceful, beautiful, and FUN but all the while it has the distinct feeling of home from the moment you walk in the door! You'll feel homesick as soon as you leave and want to come back again and again.
