Beautiful house by the lake

Camp Patasa ('Perch' in Cajun French) is a beautiful non-smoking lakefront home with all the amenities of home in one of the most popular fishing destinations in the world. BASS MASTERS RATED TOLEDO BEND LAKE # 1 IN THE NATION FOR BASS FISHING! You can enjoy the great outdoors or just put your feet up and relax in this very spacious house.

You will enjoy the pier and seawall, Old Smokey barbeque pit, picnic table, and outdoor chairs around the stone firepit (bring firewood). So grab your binoculars and do a little bird-watching while sipping on a hot cup of coffee or your favorite beverage.

Of course, don't forget to enjoy the incredible fishing. For the golfer, we are located just minutes from the world-class Cypress Bend Marina and Golf Resort. Travel a few miles further to Toledo Town where you can find anything you need from tackle to antiques, as well as groceries and gasoline. The restaurants there serve wonderful breakfast, lunch and supper (dinner) with scrumptious seafood buffets and steaks.

This is a spacious 3/4 bedroom house with a large living area, fully equipped kitchen and two bathrooms. The main house has three bedrooms and a loft, which sleeps eight. There is also an additional "Bunk Room" which is attached to the main house and sleeps six and is available for an ADDITIONAL FEE. In the fall and winter warm those chilly nights and cold feet by the full fireplace in the living room, commercial fire logs only please. On site PARKING area can accommodate up to 6 vehicles, or 3 if they have boat trailers attached. Should your group have more than this, arrangements should be made at a local marina to park your trailers.

Should you choose to venture out, a wealth of attractions and things await you. Natchitoches, LA with all of its historic beauty is home to the multiple-week, Christmas Lights show which will dazzle you and your family’s holiday outings. Northwestern State University is also located in Natchitoches, but don’t miss the historic town of Many and Fort Jesup on the way there. Venture South about 45 minutes and see Leesville and Fort Polk, the home of our brave and heroic soldiers. Hodges Gardens, for those with a liking to flowers and beautiful landscapes, is also minutes away. To the North, drive to Zwolle and attend the famous Tamales’ Festival in the fall. The kids can also enjoy swimming at the beaches at Cypress Bend Marina and at the Louisiana Visitors Center at the foot of Pendleton Bridge all within a short distance from Camp Patasa.

Weekend Family Getaway
Beautiful location. We loved the dock and porch. There were a few crumbs in the kitchen and mold/mildew on the shower curtain in the upstairs bathroom. The house was old and a fixer upper. Very rustic, but we loved it!

The house and property were very nice! We all enjoyed our stay. We’re from the greater Houston area and Louisiana, so it was centrally located which made it convenient. Some fish were caught, but not a lot.

Cabin in lake
Place was nice but it wasn’t very clean the floors were filthy, the tubs had thick gunk and globs of hair in them. The towels and sheets were left in the dryer not even dryed. The bunk house took forever to get in because the lock was messed up. I payed a lot of money for this place to had have these issues.

Nice location, VERY friendly property manager/contact
The house is as shown in pictures. There is not internet, but there is satellite TV. It does not actually sleep more than 8 unless you rent the bunk room, which costs extra, but we did know this going into the reservation. The house was moderately/reasonably clean. There were some small things like moldy shower curtains, a dead wasp on the bed/window sills that were not enough to call the owner about but enough to notice. I had to contact the property manager when I could not get the door open (my own fault) and she was incredibly nice and helpful. When we arrived on a Saturday there was a notice from July from the local water treatment center posted on the refrigerator when we arrived saying the water was unsafe to drink so we bought all of our water until we called Monday and found out it was safe to drink. This was irritating but did not ruin the trip. The dock and cleaning station are great. Most of the kitchen/cooking utensils we needed were already there which was great. The furniture was all a little older/worn, which was not a big deal in the living room, but the beds were the same. Every single person in our group, including some young people with no history of back problems, all woke up with stiffness and back and/or hip pain everyday. Overall we enjoyed our stay but it would have been really elevated to a great trip if we could have gotten a good nights sleep and if we had known the water was potable from the start.

Picture perfect…including weather.
Better then the pictures. We got there a hour early but called and they told us to go in. I brought my best friend and one of his sons. Two dudes in our 60’s and a 40 year old. I said that because we all felt like children. Eagles, catching perch and catfish off the peer, geese, late night fire pit and BBQing with beautiful weather. Just awesome. I have rented over a half a dozen VRBO camps in Toledo Bend. This one was the best! The camp was clean and easy to keep clean. Thank you Mrs. Candace and Mr. Kenneth. We needed it.

Beautiful area, but ...
The house is great. The area is beautiful, but aside from the nearby Cypress Bend Park with its beach, there's virtually nothing to do in the area unless you have a boat and/or fishing gear. Can't even rent a canoe at the Park, or anywhere else in the vicinity. The house looks out on a beautiful inlet of the Sabine River, but without a boat of your own, you don't get to explore--frustrating that the paddle boat and dinghy right down at the water are not for guest use.

Georgeous view, very clean. Enjoyed out stay. However, we had rented a boat from Turtle Creek Lodge 2 months before coming and the day we are headed up there they call us to tell us there is no boat for us the next day. Stay here but do not rent from Turtle Creek.
