About this property

Texas Sized, Pet Friendly Barndomnium with Hot Tub Overlooking Toledo Bend Lake!

Our SPACIOUS Barndominium is a gorgeous 3,800 sq. ft. Lake House, built in 2017 and located on 3 acres overlooking Toledo Bend Reservoir. Our Barndo sleeps 17 in beds and has additional space for air mattresses or sleeping bags (not provided). We also have a full size crib and a high chair for guests traveling with a baby. It is perfect for gathering friends and family in one place for holidays, fishing, reunions, etc. Nightly rate applies to 16 guests. Additional fee applies for more than 16 guests. We have a double deep, double wide carport with electricity for parking and charging your boat. While there is no direct access to the water from the Barndo, we are very conveniently located between three boat ramps, only ~1 mile in either direction from our property (Newell’s, Captains Fishing Place, and Holly Park Marina). Holly Park Marina allows free shore fishing and swimming from their boat launch area, 1 mile from our property. If you want to fish from their pier, you can go inside to register. It’s $5.00 a car load. You will pass Holly Park just before the Patroon Creek Bridge on your way to our property. They also have a grill that is open from 5:30 am to 2:30 pm daily.

Red Hills Lake is a short drive from our property (~ 5 miles) and offers swimming and fishing on a picturesque 19-acre lake that is stocked with bass, bream, and catfish. If you would like to swim during your stay, they have a very nice designated swimming/picnic area.

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.
Our customers tell us that they can't get enough of the helpful staff at this lodge. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Sabine National Forest. A water park and 1 hot tub are available.

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.

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.

2024 Cousin Weekend
A group (8) of 50+ year old cousins spent the weekend at the lovely Barndomnium. It had plenty of space for all of us to relax, visit, cook and sleep. The kitchen was well stocked. Loved having the large garbage can in the kitchen. We didn't have to take the trash out as often because of this. The pantry was an added bonus. We didn't have to have all of our food and snacks on the counter/island. I reached out to the owners a couple of times for minor questions. They were very responsive. We found some firewood for a small fire in the fire pit. We sat outside and enjoyed the stars and the fire. There was only 1 minor issue about cleanliness. The floors could have been mopped better. That would not prevent us from staying here again. Veronica Smith The Gaudet Cousins

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 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!

Fabulous
This VRBO was over above what expected. The home was beautiful and so cozy. Everything that’s on the site is accurate BUT even more than described. The host was quick with replies, no issues at all. Although we did think from photos we would be able to fish from the deck, there was no way lol but it was so peaceful and relaxing we didn’t miss the fishing. It was such a pleasure communicating with Missy and we are already planning our next trip….to this place!!! If you’re looking for anything similar to this, I suggest you choose this place!

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.

Great stay!
We had a great stay at this property. The owner initiated a text to ask if check in was ok and that opened a line of communication. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for a large group of 11 including kiddos. Kitchen and bathrooms were stocked and there were even some holiday decorations up! The set up inside is really great for cooking and eating and we enjoyed the outside fire pit and hot tub as well. There is a fenced in yard which was great for our pet. Toledo Bend lake is beautiful as well. The town of Hemphill was about a 20-25 minute drive away, where they have a few more places to eat and well stocked Brookshire brothers. I would stay here again and would rate the accommodations as excellent. I would recommend bringing hangers if you have a lot of hanging clothes as well as extra paper towels and paper, etc.

Family Thanksgiving
The owners did an amazing job on the layout of this house. There were 11 of us and we never felt crowded. Plenty of room to store everything and a large kitchen area for eating and catching up. The outside area was peaceful and quiet. Wonderful view of the lake and we used the large firepit every night. The grandkids loved the private bunks and spent a lot of time playing pool. An added bonus was the beautiful scenic drive getting there. It was also one of the cleanest places we stayed. I would highly recommend this place.

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.

Why I’m coming back.
This property is gorgeous. The property is in excellent condition and was very accurate to the description and photos. There is waterside access nearby that you can dock your boats to. This was nice so we did not have to load the boats on the trailer every day. This place is super dog friendly for the pet lovers. It is equipped with doggy doors and tons of fun pet related signs to remind you to “keep the pets inside”! There are two balconies and a barbecue pit that our crew made great use of. Last but not least, the contact and owner Mrs. Missy is the sweetest person. There were some bumps in the road when booking (a missed payment). She was completely understanding and kind throughout the entire process. Overall the property is very nice and clean with excellent contact with the owners. Thank-you very much to the owners for this wonderful vacation home.

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.

This place was perfect for us. It instantly felt comfortable and like home. The layout gave me and my family plenty of room to relax and have our own space if we wanted. The kitchen area was nice and roomy also. When the weather didn’t cooperate with our outdoor plans, we played pool or checkers on the second floor. The grandkids loved the bunk beds and loved that they had curtains for privacy and outlets for their electronics. The beds were very comfortable and we all slept well! This place was very peaceful and gave this family much needed together time.
