About this property

Once a Part of the Beloved Shady Oak Lodge - Cabin 1 - 4 beds w/ Boat Ramp

Toledo Town! Boat ramp! This cabin is the perfect place for a weekend getaway at Toledo Bend. Once a part of the beloved and highly rated Shady Oak Lodge, fisherman and families have been coming for years to enjoy this rustic log cabin nestled among trees on a quiet cove. Today, it is freshly painted and furnished with more amenities than ever before. The boat ramp is shared by the original 7 Shady Oak Lodge cabins and runs right next to the property. The location is extremely convenient as we are off Pilcher Road in Lanan Bay, which is minutes from Toledo Town and Tackle, grocery store, restaurants and banks.

With hardwood floors and vaulted ceilings, this charming cabin boasts an open floor plan and is well-appointed. You can kick back on the comfy recliners in the living room and enjoy DIRECTV and WiFi. Then, start up a poker game on the kitchen (poker) table with the provided cards and poker chips. The kitchen is fully equipped with cookware, stove/oven, microwave, and all needed appliances except a dishwasher.

This master bedroom offers the most tranquility with a comfortable queen sized bed, beautiful bedding and - almost silly to mention - blackout blinds. The nights are quiet, and guests have enjoyed many restful stays.

The other bedroom has a twin over full bunk bed and another twin bed that all have quality bedding. The unique interior creates a cozy retreat.

The bathroom is chic and a nice size. It has a tub/shower combination and contains luxury towels. We supply toilet paper, hair dryer and paper towels.

The outside features a large covered pavilion that looks out onto the cove with everything you need for outdoor entertainment and enjoyment. This cabin is designed to function as your home away from home. Grill out on the gas grill and serve your barbeque on the outdoor dining table or patio furniture. Relax on the outdoor swing next to the fire pit while making s'mores and listening to the stereo. No need to go back into the house after a big day of fishing or boating for there is an outhouse next to the patio with a sink, toilet and mini frig.

There is also expansive parking for your boat and outdoor plugs to charge it. We also have a back patio with a porch swing, corn hole and other games. Other amenities include a sand box near the pavilion with sand toys for the kids.

We also have a playground. It is a shared space for Cabins 1, 2 and 3.

We follow an enhanced cleaning protocol. Here are a few highlights:
- High-touch surfaces are sanitized
- Clean each room with cleaners and disinfectants approved by health agencies
- Wash all bedding after each guest
In addition, we have mattress encasements and pillow protectors to protect against allergens.

Check out our other cabins: Cabin 2 (Listing #1875009) that sleeps 6 and Cabin 3 (Listing # 9354062) a tiny house that sleeps 5.

Visit us, where families and fishermen have been coming for years to find tranquility and a little piece of heaven on earth. Check in is at 4:00 pm or later on the day of arrival and check out is noon or earlier on the day of departure. There is no smoking inside the cabin. The lake level is high enough to use the boat ramp. We do not have a dock, but you can tie up to the poles left of the boat ramp. The dock on the right of the boat ramp is not our property. Thanks for considering us!

Nice place

Property was nice, plenty of room to move around. I wish I’d read that there was no washing machine/dryer. Had everything we needed. Smart TV in living room missing a remote so we couldn’t stream some games we wanted. Overall nice place, just those few things you should know about.

Cozy Cabin

We really enjoyed our stay, although, too short (isn’t it always?) The cabin was comfortable & quiet. We had everything we needed. It is a good location near Living The Dream & not far from the Texas State Line, where we ate both nights at delicious seafood restaurants. Thank you Hiltons for sharing your cozy cabin!

Family Vacation

This property was very nice. The kids enjoyed the provided toys and games. The beds and pillows were super comfy, water pressure was good and drinking water was provided which was super nice not to have to buy jugs of water so much. My only complaint is having to take your own trash or pay $25. We drove 18 hrs with 6 people and had no room to take it with us let alone any clue as to where to dump it. Overall a great place and the owners were nice.

We had a wonderful time! The cabin was very clean and cozy. The grounds were very nice as well. The decor was very nice and made the cabin feel like home. My husband, kids, and I enjoyed the poker table. The only tiny issue I had was I couldn't find the key to get access to the washer and dryer. It wasn't in the location as listed. No big deal really. The cabin had plenty of parking for our vehicle and boat. We enjoyed s'mores by the fire pit. We will definitely be back!!

Great cabin!

We stayed at the cabin for the BassMaster High School Series. The cabin was only minutes away from the landing. This was my one of the cleanest cabins we have ever stayed at. The kitchen was fully stocked and the living room furniture was very cozy. Our favorite part was the outside sitting area and fire pit which included unlimited firewood.

Great place to stay.

We were very pleased with the location and the house was extremely comfortable. Will definitely recommend it to friends. Not far from bait shop and grocery store. Also, not far from our favorite fishing spot. Water level was really low, but was able to paddle boat close to house. Definitely a great place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Christina Hilton

Host profile image
Wife of an amazing husband and mother of two sweet girls. My husband grew up in Laurel, Mississippi and I grew up in South Louisiana - we are Louisiana Woman and Mississippi Man! We are excited to have a house in Laurel to share with our kids and guests, plus it's super close to Mimi and Papaw. We also have 3 cabins in Many, Louisiana on Toledo Bend lake - the halfway point between Laurel and Plano, where we now live.

Each place is special to us. We walk to Mason Park from Mason and Rose Cottage to see the amazing lights at Christmas time. At our Shady Oaks Cabins, we wander around the grounds finding critters and catching brim in Toledo Bend lake. Come explore OUR happy places!

Why they chose this property

We love this lake and stay in the cabin ourselves. There is something for everyone here. You will see some kid toys in the cabin in the living room cabinets, which are available for your use. We also have a sand pit and outdoor toys for use. We love s'mores around the campfire and star gazing with the kids. But the guys also have their fun grilling out and playing poker too.

What makes this property unique

The cabin is set-up well to either 1. park your boat in front of the house and then pull it up and down the ramp for quick access to the lake or 2. tie your boat up to the poles and bank it on the cove. There are also outdoor plugs to charge your boat. Unfortunately, the cabin doesn't have a dock.
