Our stay was just okay

Nothing about this property real blew us away. I think your impression of it is clouded by it being located almost literally in a junk yard, and the outside of the property itself is not as tidy as the pictures lead you to think it is. There are piles of random junk outside and around the patio area. That being said, the inside is better. It's a homey feel, almost like you're at a relative's house. Everything we needed and more was provided. The home could use some cosmetic love, but was overall lovely. I would consider staying at this property again, but would pass it up easily for something more tidy.

Pre Tournament trip.

Unfortunately the wind was too strong to get to the dock from the launch but looked perfect for most normal operations. 30mph winds!

Weekend getaway

Awesome place and will definitely book again. Very pet friendly and hosts quickly responded to every message. This is what a lake house should be. One suggestion is, if it’s cold bring plenty of firewood. We brought a little but because it was in the 20’s we could have used more lol.

Family trip

Grandparents, adult kids, and 3 granddaughters with 2 dogs, we had the most relaxing time!! Everything we needed was onsite plus more- lots of games, fishing worms, firewood, fully stocked. We enjoyed the fire pit and a lot of time at the pier fishing- caught several. Plenty of room in the house, we had 7. My dogs loved the dog food/water area, toys, kennel, we didn’t even unpack everything we packed. Best time!!

Comfy and cozy

Looking for a quiet place to spend with family or friends, then this is the place to stay. Two full baths, two bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen open to living room and dining room. There is a Dollar General about 5 minutes away in case you forget something. There is a boat slip, but if you don’t have a boat, no worries just fish off the bank. The host is great and easy to reach if needed. Looking forward to our next trip!

Very lovely home! My family and I enjoyed our stay here and will definitely consider returning again for another visit. I especially liked all the variety of games to keep the kids occupied, plenty of room for everyone to sleep and access to the dock for fishing.

A 4th of July to remember!

Little Minnow is the perfect place to stay! We had six adults, three teenagers, two toddlers, and a pup. We all slept comfortably and had plenty of room to relax and play inside and out! It is clear that the owners of this property love their lake house and have made a perfect and accommodating oasis for others to experience a glimpse of what “Lake Life” has to offer. We can’t wait to back and make more memories!

We absolutely loved this gem of a property. Super clean, cute, and a perfect location on the bay. This property has everything that you could ever need and the host was amazing. Extra stars for having ice on the property that can be purchased if needed.

Weekend with grandkids

Little Minnow was a great place to stay, it was very clean and roomy. We brought 4 boys ages 6,7,11 and 12 and they had a blast. They were able to get a 10 ft flat with a trolling motor in and out of the water by them selves to fish, supervised of course, and when they were not in the boat it was a great area for them to swim. We loved the fire pit outside and the house was so welcoming and fully stocked with everything you can imagine. We brought our small dog, even she had fun, I think she was sad to leave. If you need food, groceries, bait, no problem, they have a DG like less than 10 min. away and a Market basket and bait is about 20 minutes away. My husband even brought them to the water park one afternoon and that was only 30 min away. We had a great time, thank you so much for sharing your camp.

Having everything I needed to cook/clean as normal and be able to relax and sit on the back porch and watch the kids play. The location is perfect for any outings desired.

Excellent Getaway!

The property itself is a great little getaway spot, right on the lake, with a boathouse, firepit, grill, fish fryer, and plenty of space to fish. Caught some decent size catfish while we were there. The home is very comfortable with wonderful lake front decor! Everything you could ask for in a weekend getaway! The owners answered all questions and were extremely friendly. I HIGHLY recommend this property to everyone, we will definitely be back!

Great Stay

Great lake house. Outstanding host. Great fishing. Had a great time. Great!! That's just good fun. Kids loved the video game and we watched like half of the movies. The 6 beds were awesome. The host was super nice and friendly. Hubby and I had a great time fishing. The slide was a nice touch for the kiddos.

This is our second time to stay at this fabulous location. It was as immaculate as the first time. We felt just as comfortable and felt like we were home. It's the little thoughtful items that are provided that create such a homey comfortable feeling. Thank you Brian and Amanda for providing such a comfortable, warm, welcoming hime away from home. We will be back.

Perfect home for a family stay

Highly recommend this property. We were in the area for a yearly family reunion. We had six family members ages 4 to 82. The home was very clean and comfortable and easy for all ages to navigate the home and property. Property manager sent us easy to follow directions to get to and access the property with no issues. The home is right on the lake with a boat slip and a great area for fishing. My 4-year-old grandson especially enjoyed the slide which is just off the patio area. Kitchen was well organized and had well-kept utensils and cookware which made mealtimes easy and hassle-free. All of the beds including the bunkbeds were extremely comfortable to sleep on and had very nice linens and covers. Home was pet friendly with a place designated and furnished for feeding our fur family member. All of us had fun playing the wall mounted video game in the guest room. The area the home is located in was very quiet and peaceful and we felt safe at all times. My father-in-law has already requested I rent the same home for next year's family reunion, and I definitely will.

Easter weekend in Many

This property was wonderful! So many thoughtful touches throughout with almost anything you could need! Only downside was no access to a washer and dryer. I did note the last day that they had a nifty retractable clothesline in the hall bathroom so you can handwash clothing just wish I would have realized sooner! My family really enjoyed this property, and my children keep asking when we are going back to the Many house! We are looking forward to Memorial weekend at this property! Thank y'all!

About the host

Hosted by Brian and Amanda

Hi! Our names are Amanda and Brian. Brian has been coming to Toledo bend his whole life with his family during his childhood mostly for fishing. I started coming along with him the first summer we started dating. We have continued his family tradition of spending almost every weekend at the lake with our two boys (10 & 13). I prefer to use the lake for relaxing by swimming, lounging on the pontoon, tubing and kayaking. Brian's idea of a good time at the lake is fishing from sun up to sun down. Getting in his boat at 5am maybe returning for lunch then heading back out and not returning until sunset. I hope our home works great for those that either want to fish all day or for those who may want to have a place to relax with the whole family.

Why they chose this property

Because its not on the main lake you can swim and enjoy the dock without large waves or fast boats interfering. Its a nice quiet cove but still not a far ride to get to the main lake for those whose goal is to fish all over the Bend.

What makes this property unique

We try to appeal to families with young children and pets. For those who may want to relax at the house and for those who plan to stay all day on the water.
