The Hideaway
Relax at this peaceful place to stay. Secluded on 42 acres and located 12 miles from Toledo Bend Reservoir. The lake has an area of 185,000 acres and is known for its large mouth bass fishing. There are free range chickens, Cody and Ditsy (horses), and Wilbur and Maple (pot-belly pigs). Don't worry they are all very friendly. We also have 2 historic buildings on-site. One of them was once a drug store and is now being used to make outdoor pillows, aprons and more.
