We offer free WiFi, big screen smart television in the living room with Direct TV and a television in each of the three bedroom with Roku or Fire Stick streaming.

We also have a blow up mattress and linens and pillows for it. We have a portable, tabletop fan in each bedroom, as well as sound machines. There are luggage racks, large closets with hangers, an ironing board and iron, and full length mirrors in each bedroom.

Beautiful 2.5 acre stocked pond steps from the front porch. The fishing pier is available for fishing or catching some sun. There are deck chairs, an aluminum boat, and a fire pit with Adirondack chairs, blankets and marshmallow roasting sticks! Ample parking for several vehicles and room for your boat. The dual BBQ grill (butane or charcoal) is ready -you supply the burgers or steaks! Bring your fishing gear, your float or a good book-the rest is waiting for you.

Nestled in the trees, this family oriented retreat feels remote & secluded. In reality you are actually only minutes away from many modern conveniences. There are many outdoor opportunities in the area for nature lovers. If that’s not your thing, we are within a short driving distance to shopping, dining and other entertainment opportunities.

You are literally in the backyard of Caney Lake and the Spillway. This hidden gem is a stone's throw away from the public boat launch. Caney is known for its bass and crappie fishing, as well as recreational water sports. Hooks Marina has live bait, boat fuel, food and a fun outdoor dining experience with live entertainment on most weekend nights.

You are 10 minutes from Chatham. Chatham has a Family Dollar Store, two convenience/grocery stores, a restaurant and a bank.

Jimmie Davis State Park is 9 minutes away with its renowned fishing, many miles of hiking & biking trails, large public beach and picnic area, as well as a splash pad for lots of family fun. There are several boat launches, as well as RV spots, and other facilities for rent.

Jonesboro (25 min) has a Walmart, grocery store, banks, hardware store and an abundance of fast food & dine-in restaurants. One can have a full day of fun wandering through the 4-5 antique/flea markets in Jonesboro. This is also the nearest trauma hospital to our location.

Historic downtown Ruston is 35 min away. Home of LA Tech, the famous Peach Festival and many unique shops and restaurants.

West Monroe and Monroe (45 min) have many recreational opportunities, antique & retail shopping and unlimited dining options.

The house is within easy driving distance to many other fishing and recreational lakes and rivers. When the fish don’t seem to be biting at one you have lots of other opportunities nearby.

If gaming is your thing the Choctaw Pines Casino is 1 hour away. An hour and 45 minutes away are many casinos, shopping opportunities and dining in Bossier City and Shreveport.

This property has been in our family for over 100 years. My grandfather (Pawpaw) built this house himself in the mid 1980’s. He stayed busy into his early 90’s; he enjoyed mowing his own yard, cutting his own fire wood, building deer stands and fighting off beavers and alligators. He loved nature and all it had to offer-duck hunting, deer hunting and, well, just about any kind of hunting. He enjoyed watching and feeding the birds, squirrels, and deer on his property.

His pride and joy was the pond. He loved to help and watch the generations of his family fish in his pond. He would wait to feed the fish when the great grand kids were around just to watch their faces light up. If you reeled in a big one he would get the scale so he could weigh it. If it was a ‘good one’ he’d sometimes make you toss it back to grow bigger.

If you forgot it, Dawn has already thought about it. Being outside and enjoying the fire pit was our favorite part. Beautiful clean pond. I can’t say enough about this property.

Excellent!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! It was easy to find, and not too far out the way (about 20 mins) from stores & restaurants. Ms. Dawn replied quickly with questions I had & checked in to make sure we were comfortable. She has the cabin well stocked with essentials & then some!! We were so happy to be away from the hustle & bustle of everyday life. Our little dog was living her best life running the trails & chasing squirrels! If you want peace & quiet with the comforts of home, this is the place! We hope to come back next year & thanks again Ms. Dawn for opening your home to us!

Perfect location for our sons 14th birthday party!
The host was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. As soon as we got to the property we were blown away with the beauty of it. We hosted a small party Saturday for immediate family and a few friends. Kids ranging from 3-15 yrs old (plus the grown kids) all had a blast. There was more than enough to keep them outside and playing. We did a ton of fishing and the kids even did a little swimming with provided life jackets. The hosts truly thought of everything when prepping this place, all you really need to bring is clothes and food. Its amazing and we will DEFINITELY be returning soon!

YOU WON’T BE SORRY!!
Dawn was extremely responsive to all of our questions! The house is perfect and has everything you could need! Seriously, just show up with your clothes and groceries! Dawn has thought of everything! The house is secluded in the woods so there’s tons of privacy! You are close enough to the state park to go multiple times during your stay and only 20-45mins away from anything you could think of to do or eat! Our family would definitely stay here again!
