Out stay was too short and rain kept us from being outdoors as much as we would have liked. Otherwise enjoyed our stay. Loved the balcony and view of the lake. Upstairs A/C unit not working real great so a little uncomfortable when I cooked. Very nice dock!
The location is great for fishing six mile area. Nice floating dock beautiful scenery. The house is nice everything was clean and the AC worked great even with the temp in the high 90s
1st cast, 1st morning caught fish right off the bank
Excellent location to the Six Mile creek and bridge. Boat ramp very convenient to this location. Plenty of fishing access right from the dock. Not necessary to boat too far saving fuel and maximizing fishing time. Very popular Crappie spot right under the overpass. Often times we didn't even fire up the big motor. We just trolled over and then worked the banks around the area.
The house was comfortable and clean. There were 2 types of coffee pots. K-cup, and drip. The shower was good, as well the A/C worked great.We utilized the fish cleaning station which is covered. The water where you have access is mostly calm and peaceful. The area seemed protected when the wind would pick up from time to time. In the morning and evenings the water was flat. During the day there was quite a bit of road noise since the bridge and highway were so close, but didn't bother us. In the evening and night the traffic load goes way down. We didn't really hear much when we were sleeping.
It may be a little tricky backing the boat in and out of the driveway, but is do-able. We pulled a 17' Bass boat, if you have too much truck then backing around to drive out, and staying on the driveway might be a challenge. The convenience of tying the boat up at the lakeside dock was a plus. The water was deep enough for just about any type of boat. Close to 5' around the dock and quickly went to 10'-14' when pulling away. There is a 110V outlet at the dock should you need to charge your boat batteries.
The house clean and very accommodating dock was perfect only had to launch and pick up once how convenient would be nice if I didn’t have to back onto hwy but we made it love the place mistakes checking in all my fault
The house is nicely structured, godly clean, and cozy. Awesome spot for fishing, the laugh is acorss the street from the home. Perfect.
However, we didnt like the amount of people that fish on the corner of the lot. I also wish the house was depersonalized. It feels as if you are staying a strangers home which you are but like they are there with you. The outside has one motion light that we could find, making it difficult to fry fish/BBQ outside.The notes left all over the house leaves you feeling uncomfortable and almost watched.
This house checks all the boxes except for the comments mentioned that are minor.
The house/property was conveniently located near the boat launch. Easy access to Six Mile. The house was clean and well stocked with linens, toiletries and kitchen needs. Beds were comfortable. The dock was well lit and safe to navigate. 5 Star review
Excellent location for our fishing tournament on Toledo Bend. The house was comfortable and had plenty of parking for our vehicles. We enjoyed the pier and porch areas in the evenings and mornings. Highly recommend this property.
Very relaxing. First night catfished of the bank, filled up an ice chest. Next day went out in the boat and filled another ice chest full of catfish.Great place to stay and great area>
Loved the property. The house was great. It had plenty of room and all the amenities you need. The location was perfect. It was so nice being able to fish off the dock. The view of sunsets was so nice. So glad we stayed here.
If a place can have Everything, this Cabin does, absolutely beautiful, we had so much fun, and caught Bass right off the Dock, such a wonderful and Blessed 3-day weekend, thank you for sharing your home.
This was my first time staying in a VEBO on Toledo Bend. The house was just as advertised and great location. Very comfortable and had everything we needed. We will be back.

About the host
Hosted by Peggy Bowers
We are a middle age couple. We have several rental properties in Louisiana. This is our first rental property in Texas. We enjoy good cajun food, traveling, dancing, listening to music, and spending quality time with our family. We enjoy the country atmosphere of Hemphill. We have been very pleased with our recent rental property addition.
Why they chose this property
We began looking for property in the Toledo Bend area in October 2014. The first time we saw this property in Six Mile Bayou, we feel in love with it. We purchased it shortly after we came to see it for the first time. We have not been sorry at all. The only feature it didn't have that we wanted was a boat dock. We will be putting one together in the near future.
What makes this property unique
Old time country atmosphere. Everybody is very friendly. The location is right across the street from the public boat launch. It is close to the marina and to the town.
