Located directly on the famous “Chicken Coop”, a stretch of the Sabine River bed that touches the west side of the lake and stays close to shore for nearly 2 miles. This prime fishing area is well known to locals as The Chicken Coop. This crappie hole was named such because of several large commercial chicken houses that once lined the top of the ridge near the river bank. This deep stretch of the river is has developed a reputation over the years of producing almost unbelievable numbers of crappie for approximately six to eight weeks during the winter, depending on weather conditions.

Largest Man-Made Lake in the South!

Toledo Bend is a recreational treasure of the south, known as the largest human-made lake in the southern United States. The lake is known as one of America’s five best bass fishing spots with 14-pound bass records.

Catfish, crappie, and other sport fish also challenge the anglers. They can fish the great expanse from their boat or one of the 14 fishing docks along the shore. Boating, swimming, kayaking, canoeing, and other water sports are also popular at Toledo Bend. At a lake this size, the possibilities are endless.

Sabine National Forest!

Sabine National Forest claims 160,656 acres along the lake’s western shore. The park features many family-friendly camping locations.

The park’s list of activities is endless, including boating, fishing, hiking, hunting, and mountain biking.

We took a multigenerational family vacation. There was something for everyone at this spot. The teenager who thought it would be boring had a great time. The octogenarians had fun. The place is well appointed with things to do inside and outside.

Memorable 82nd Birthday Celebration
The home and view is nothing short of amazing. We rented to celebrate my mom’s 82nd birthday and it was perfect. There was plenty to do for the adults and kids alike. Unfortunately there was a burn ban in effect during our stay so we didn’t get the opportunity to use the fire pit, but still enjoyed just sitting there taking in the view. Missy, the host was very responsive, informative and a pleasure to in which to interact.

Great weekend stay!
We had a great time this weekend. The place was clean and plenty space for us. We cooked crawfish, used the grill, and went fishing on the weekend. There was plenty room for our group of 10. Beautiful view of the lake and quick access to a boat launch. The hosts were excellent communicators, checking in before during and after our trip. Would stay again!

The house is exactly what you see in the photos. Very nice for a large group. The firepit and pool table were great for the teens. The only drawback was no access to the lake but the house and hot tub made up for it.

Lakeside view very beautiful
This property was absolutely beautiful breathtaking a country style getaway. We all felt so secure and comfortable. We sit out on the balcony at the back and just watch the lake with the fire pit going. It was gorgeous. The way the home is designed the pictures on the Internet does not do it justice. You have to come hmand see this home in person. I would definitely come back. I would definitely recommend this home if you bring kids, they can be on one part of the house you can be in another and everybody can enjoy themselves it has areas where the kids can hang out everyone will be spaced out. No one has to be on top of each other. I would definitely be back.

Perfect House on Toledo Bend
The pictures do not do this property justice. It is very spacious and open. Perfect for a decent size gathering. We had a group of 10 adults and it was awesome for us. The yard is great for playing various games and there is a marina 3 minutes up the road with water access if you want to swim or fish as this house is on a cliffside. I highly recommend this place. I will absolutely be staying here again when I return to Toledo Bend.

Great place to relax and spend family time
This was the perfect place for our family of 12. There was room to both spend time together and apart. The patio and overlook was very relaxing, and the family enjoyed the pool table, hot tub, and fire pit. There were several outdoor areas where you could convene with nature and reflect. A big storm passed through and the host even checked on us to make sure we were ok. All in all a great place to stay.

Weekend trip
We had a great time and had great communication with the owners. The only issue we ran into was the water was lost for roughly 12hrs due to a busted line (not home owners fault) but it was an issue for most of the day. The owner did say she would compensate us for having to deal with that. Overall a great time.

We had 8 adults and 9 kids (13 and Under). It was the perfect place for us to spend a long weekend together. The owners thought of everything! Right down to crayons and coloring books on a pillow in a little nook. Our dogs loved all the room to roam! Everyone in the group were happy with the home and the space they had. Thank you for helping us make some wonderful memories!
