About this property

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.

Pre Tournament trip.

Unfortunately the wind was too strong to get to the dock from the launch but looked perfect for most normal operations. 30mph winds!

Weekend getaway

Awesome place and will definitely book again. Very pet friendly and hosts quickly responded to every message. This is what a lake house should be. One suggestion is, if it’s cold bring plenty of firewood. We brought a little but because it was in the 20’s we could have used more lol.

Our stay was just *okay*

Nothing about this property real blew us away. I think your impression of it is clouded by it being located almost literally in a junk yard, and the outside of the property itself is not as tidy as the pictures lead you to think it is. There are piles of random junk outside and around the patio area. That being said, the inside is better. It's a homey feel, almost like you're at a relative's house. Everything we needed and more was provided. The home could use some cosmetic love, but was overall lovely. I would consider staying at this property again, but would pass it up easily for something more tidy.

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.

Family trip

Grandparents, adult kids, and 3 granddaughters with 2 dogs, we had the most relaxing time!! Everything we needed was onsite plus more- lots of games, fishing worms, firewood, fully stocked. We enjoyed the fire pit and a lot of time at the pier fishing- caught several. Plenty of room in the house, we had 7. My dogs loved the dog food/water area, toys, kennel, we didn’t even unpack everything we packed. Best time!!

Comfy and cozy

Looking for a quiet place to spend with family or friends, then this is the place to stay. Two full baths, two bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen open to living room and dining room. There is a Dollar General about 5 minutes away in case you forget something. There is a boat slip, but if you don’t have a boat, no worries just fish off the bank. The host is great and easy to reach if needed. Looking forward to our next trip!

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!

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!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Brian and Amanda

Host profile image
Hi! Our names are Amanda and Brian. Brian has been coming to Toledo bend his whole life with his family during his childhood mostly for fishing. I started coming along with him the first summer we started dating. We have continued his family tradition of spending almost every weekend at the lake with our two boys (10 & 13). I prefer to use the lake for relaxing by swimming, lounging on the pontoon, tubing and kayaking. Brian's idea of a good time at the lake is fishing from sun up to sun down. Getting in his boat at 5am maybe returning for lunch then heading back out and not returning until sunset. I hope our home works great for those that either want to fish all day or for those who may want to have a place to relax with the whole family.

Why they chose this property

Because its not on the main lake you can swim and enjoy the dock without large waves or fast boats interfering. Its a nice quiet cove but still not a far ride to get to the main lake for those whose goal is to fish all over the Bend.

What makes this property unique

We try to appeal to families with young children and pets. For those who may want to relax at the house and for those who plan to stay all day on the water.
