About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Little Minnow is a Pet friendly water front home on Toledo Bend in a quiet cove.

Small cozy home tucked in a quiet cove on the South end of Toledo Bend lake on the Louisiana side. Enjoy the indoor fireplace or the outdoor fire pit in the winter time or a quick jump into the lake in the summertime. A covered boat dock and only a 5 minute drive by boat to get to the main lake.

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.

Family getaway
This stay was overall one of my family's favorites! The house was cozy and so so cute. Perfect for my family of 5, including three young children! 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. It's the perfect little piece of paradise!

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!

Weekend with the Pros
Amanda has done a SPECTACULAR job updating this home. It is a spacious, comfortable, home away from home. It will easily and comfortably house all that it sleeps. It is a very clean home with comfortable beds. Easy access to the water in a quiet cove. Forget something ? Don't want to cook ? No worries, you aren't too far from those comforts either. You won't be disappointed. We will return.
