LAKE EFFECTS - WATERFRONT w/ PIER & FIRE PIT, WIFI, BEAUTIFUL & PEACEFUL 3BR/2BA

Located on one of the most highly rated bass lakes in the nation, this waterfront home, aptly named Lake Effects, is beautifully remodeled, with wonderful views of Toledo Bend. Lake Effects is situated on a quiet lane and offers an inviting back porch, a cozy fire pit with seating near the water for gathering 'round in the evenings, a wonderful fishing pier with built-in seating, and many of the comforts of home, including WIFI, a large master suite and a fully equipped and well-stocked kitchen. We take great pride in providing a clean, comfortable home for you and guests to enjoy! This is the perfect place to fish, kayak, nature watch, spend time with your family and friends, and enjoy all that Toledo Bend has to offer, or just unplug and unwind!

So much splendor and beauty awaits you at Toledo Bend. Of course, fishing is the number one attraction, and if you decide to leave your boat at home, there are many boat rental businesses and guide services available to take you out on the lake to fish, or you can always wet your line right off the pier! It's true that many come out to fish, but there are so many other activities awaiting you!

If golfing is your thing or if you'd like to try it, bring your clubs and go golfing at nearby Cypress Bend Golf Course, an 18-hole, championship golf course on the Audubon Golf Trail, with breathtaking views of Toledo Bend! Cypress Bend Marina also boasts a beautiful pavilion, boat launch, and a beach for swimming!

Just a few minutes away is the Toledo Town area (just west of the 4-way stop at Hwy 6 and Hwy 191), where you can find groceries, fuel, restaurants, tackle and other fishing supplies, and just up the road into the town of Many, you will find more shopping and dining.

Just 45 minutes away is Natchitoches, Louisiana, the oldest settlement in the Louisiana Purchase, full of history, beauty, heritage and wonderfully unique architecture. Natchitoches shows off every year at its Christmas Festival of Lights, which runs each season from late November to early January, with a fabulous fireworks display every Saturday night. Natchitoches is also home to the oldest general store in the state, Cane River Brewing Company, and Northwestern Louisiana State University (Go Demons!). From the banks of the Cane River, you can also enjoy a riverboat cruise or a tour in a horse drawn carriage.

Spring Break at Toledo Bend
Earlier in March of this year, we spent spring break using this property. we met the owner for check-in and she provided a thorough tour of the property. The lake house was very clean and well managed. We made use of the fire pit every night and we enjoyed the dock as well. It was easy to put our kayak in the lake from the lake banks. The water was perfect for kayaking. We will definitely be returning to this property.

Home away from home
We had a wonderful time at this camp/home. It is an extremely clean home and very well stocked. All utensils, pots, pans, plates and etc are high quality. It was so peaceful and pleasant. Great firepit by the lake. The porch was very comfortable. The property has alot of shade and some fun outside games to play. We barbecued on a well kept and clean grill. All rooms are a wonderful size and the master bedroom and bath are outstanding. The only thing better than that is Christi. She is an amazing property owner and will be there if you need anything. Thank you for your hospitality. ❤️

Great place for the 4th of July.
We rented this unit for the week of the 4th of July and it had everything we needed. It was well stock and had extras that you don't get such as water and drinks. The owner is very attentive and even meet us at the home to check in to give a personal walk through. I would recommend this owner and home.

Very nice trip
The owner was a joy to deal with and was available if there was any issues (no issues). The house was spotless clean. The back porch was a great place to sit and relax. BUT, the fire pit was awesome!! To sit down there by the lake and have a nice fire was great. There was parking for a big bass boat and the boat ramp was only a few minutes away. We pulled boat out every evening but you can tie up to the dock and leave it in. Just need a few extra extension cords to reach dock Overall this was a great place.

Amazing property that came with amazing owners. While the temperature was over 100 degrees outside, the home had no problem staying cool at all times. The house was decorated in lovely colors that was pleasing to the eye. It was a very needed and nice vacation for us all and I feel very blessed to have chose this property, Christi is very personable and professional.
