About this property

Charming Cottage Snuggled in Main Lake Cove with Perfect Location and Views

The Holy Toledo Lake House is the perfect get away from it all for fishing, family, fun and relaxation. Snuggled on a deep water cove right off the main lake between Negreet Creek and Pirates Cove, and only a 6 minute boat ride from Housen Creek, this cottage style lake house is perfect for the most die hard bass fisherman or quality family time. Newly renovated and furnished, this quaint 2 bedroom home has everything you are looking for. The master bedroom is equipped with a queen size bed, perfect for an adult couple. The second bedroom has a bunk bed with a twin at the top, full at the bottom, and full mattress pull out. Both bedrooms come with freshly washed sheets and comfortable full size pillows. Additionally, the living room has a wood burning fireplace and a beautiful leather queen sleeper sofa that makes it comfortable to sleep 5 to 7 people in the house. This house has 2 full bathrooms, equipped with towels and wash cloths, and a washer and dryer. The kitchen is fully stocked and includes an electric stove, microwave, regular coffee maker, toaster, blender and all cooking and eating necessities. Better yet, the house is equipped with high speed WIFI and Dish Network cable. There are 3 flat screen TV's located in the living room and one in each bedroom. Finally, perhaps the best feature of the home is a large covered back porch with ceiling fans great for cooking, grilling and hanging out, equipped with a dual burner outdoor stove and a charcoal BBQ pit. Along with a outside fire pit area to enjoy a yummy marshmallow roast. Whether it is starting your morning with a warm cup of coffee or winding down a long day of fishing on the lake, this is the PERFECT place for you.

This house has a beautiful boardwalk and wharf (for boats to tie up to), with a fish cleaning station, located on the water. There is a power supply at the wharf to provide electricity for battery charging access for boats. Additionally, the house comes provided with 4 kayak’s for all of our guest to use.

For golf or relaxation, Cypress Bend Resort and Golf Course is only located 24 miles from our home. This is a world class golf course with incredible views of the lake, spa and other amenities. Also, the South Toledo Bend State Park is only 14 miles away for campers and other outdoor enthusiasts. Finally, if you have an eye for shopping, flea markets or antiques, there are numerous opportunities for you in this area to explore.

Family Weekend Getaway

Very charming place nestled under the trees with beautiful views. Perfect for a family of 4-6. Easy check in/out. Kayaks available for use was a plus! Very quiet location. Boat landing nearby but keep in mind it is steep. Enjoyed a quick visit to a local ice cream shop, Tasty Treats!!

Impressive lake

The cabin was adequate. Relatively clean except for the windows which were disgustingly dirty and barely see thru.The trash clause is silly. Note that the dump site is closed on Wednesdays (best to check the hours beforehand). There were plenty of consumable supplies in the cabin (trash bags, toilet paper, cups, soap, etc.) and bedding.There's plenty of deck space and the sunset is awesome. As expected, the mosquitoes are ferocious. The location is remote so plan you food supply accordingly.

Lovely cottage on the lake. Amazing porch and deck. I only wish they offered garbage service -- having to haul away the garbage is a minor hassle but otherwise a fantastic rental for the price

Fun lake weekend

Holy Toledo is nice, quiet, clean and charming place to get away for the weekend. Everything is accurate as listed and it’s easy in, easy out from HWY 191. The kids had a good time catching perch off the dock on worms one evening. Over all it’s a great place to stay!

About the host

Hosted by Emily Skiles

Host profile image
We never imagined that on a family vacation we would end up purchasing a lake house. The kids were overjoyed that we made this spur of the moment decision. Upon purchasing our lake house we moved in and put our personal touches on the home. We love hanging out on the back patio, fishing and enjoying the beautiful views of nature when we are here. My husband is an avid bass fisherman and the house is located in the perfect location for the best bass fishing on the lake. We have 3 daughters and are very busy with extra curricular activities during the spring and fall months so it is nice to get away from it all when we can. We love spending time at this lake house and hope that you will enjoy it just as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

The house is located in a quiet cove and has everything you need for that relaxing getaway. There is something for swimming, hiking, kayaking, paddle boarding, cooking, fishing and much more. The location is within minutes of marinas, restaurants, shopping, golf, state parks and more.

What makes this property unique

Outside porch area is large and beautiful for cooking outdoors and enjoying views of the lake. There is a great outdoor fire pit area and fish cleaning station for your use. Swimming is also a blast during the Summer months.
