Stayed here with my mom and 2 kids (9 & 6). We had a wonderful time. Kids loved the swings. I loved sitting on the porch in the morning before it got too hot listening to all the birds and trees in the breeze.. The view is so peaceful. Hosts are very nice and helpful. My kids kept saying we need to come back with Dad.

I met an old friend from Shreveport there for two days of fishing and relaxation. Tom and Katherine, the owners were super nice and accommodating. The cabin was really nice, the A/C was cold and the place was spotless. The grounds were manicured as well. We’ll be back.

We had a wonderful stay at Tom and Katherine’s cottage. The scenery alone was worth the stay. We had everything we needed for our short little trip and Tom and Katherine were incredibly gracious hosts. The property is situated right by the lake and you have a wrap around porch to enjoy the view. We didn’t catch any fish, but we did try! There’s lots of room to fish, swim or kayak. I highly recommend staying here!! I know we will be back.
A few things to note if staying here:
-On your way in to the property you will drive through a neighborhood that is a little unsightly, but it is not indicative of the cottages or their location.
-This is a true cottage, with a small kitchen. If you’re wanting a big kitchen or large bedrooms this may not be your spot. The dining table is very large though which was great for us.
-There are no TVs or WiFi. Our kids didn’t love that, but us adults didn’t mind the break.
-All of the beds are a little small. It worked perfectly for our groups needs, but if you’re planning to share beds they will likely not be big enough.
- I recommend bringing water shoes if you plan to get in the water. It is a little marshy and rocky.

We were working in the area and wanted something nicer than a roadside motel. Tom and Katherine were fantastic hosts, and the space is absolutely gorgeous and immaculately maintained. Mary's cinnamon rolls were delicious and a really nice extra touch

My dad and I stayed here on a fishing trip and it was perfect. Location was close enough to pretty much any boat ramp with two of them being less than 5 minutes away. There is ample place to park truck and boat and an outside outlet to charge your batteries at night. Cottage was as described and extremely clean. Tom stayed in touch days leading up to the trip and even turned the lights on inside snd out for our late evening arrival. Will for sure stay again next trip.

The Huguenot Cottage, was very clean and a fresh smell welcomed us when we walked in. The cottage was well appointed and very nicely maintained. The owners were very welcoming and checked on us to ensure we are comfortable. The views from the cottage of the lake was mesmerizing. We will definitely go back again whenever a similar opportunity happens.

This time we rented all three houses on the property. The property is so clean you won’t believe it. It’s right on Lake of the Pines. We had everything we needed and more. There is a flat bottom boat, canoe or kayak to use at the waters edge. Tom and Katherine are available if you need anything. We fished off the bank. Serene and comfortable.
We will definitely be back!

We were very pleased with the cottage...large enough for 6 adults & 2 kiddos! The property was absolutely beautiful & well maintained and having the a few water toys available for the whole family was a plus. We loved the fact that there is no internet, so it was quality time with the family. The owners are on site if you need them and Tom was very helpful and accommodating.
We have a wonderful time and we will be booking there again!

This was everything we were looking for in a mini vacay! The hosts were fantastic. The cottage was so clean and organized! If we didn’t have it, the host was more than willing to loan it (thanks for the s’mores skewers!). It was a great locomotion close to Daingerfield state park. The property itself had so much to keep our boys occupied. And bird watching early in the morning on the back porch was just the relaxing experience we needed! We will definitely be back!!

The cottages were extremely clean, beautifully decorated yet comfortable, and the lake view is amazing. The property is very well kept. Enjoyed having access to the canoe and row boat without extra cost. The owners of the property are on site and were very good about checking in on us during our stay to see if we needed anything. Really enjoyed meeting them .Highly recommend ordering baked goods from Mary, they were delicious. My family and I really enjoyed our visit and would definitely stay again if traveling to this area. One thing to note, the neighborhood you have to drive through to get to the property is rural and somewhat unkempt, but you will be pleasantly surprised with the beauty of the property and cottages when you arrive.

We stayed here for two nights as a rest from a long road trip. The cottage was beautiful and the view from the cottage was too. We enjoyed reading, fishing, walking the property and nearby mountain bike trails. Tom and Katherine were so kind and accommodating. So glad the last two days of our family vacay were spent here!

The property was well maintained, clean, and comfortable. The hosts were awesome (kind, friendly, and responsive). My 9 and 10 year old loved the tree swings and seeing the host's donkey and horse! Everyone loved paddling around the huge protected cove of the lake. The woodpeckers and turles were amazing.

The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. 6 people stayed comfortably for 3 nights, and we had no issues. The view from the back porch is great. Tom even had a canoe, kayak, and Jon boat that we paddled out into the lake in the afternoons. Him and Katherine both were very nice and accommodating. Everyone agreed that we would come back again.

Even though it rained pretty much the entire time this place is PERFECT! Clean, right on the water and cozy. During our stay the electricity went out and Tom was right on it. Texted us within 5 mins. I will be back for sure! Beautiful place.

We stayed in the bigger cabin, it was perfect for our family of 7. It could have slept more, there was plenty of room. The kitchen table was huge and we were able all sit around, play games and still had room for others to join. The full-size kitchen had all the appliances and utensils we needed. There was plenty of firewood for the fire pit. Our 15 month old granddaughter loved running all over and we were far enough from the beautiful view of the water to not have to worry. Our kids took the complimentary canoe and kayak out a couple of times (they also provided the lifejackets). We loved going to see the horse, donkey, dogs and cats multiple times a day. Tom, Katherine and Mary could not have been anymore pleasant or welcoming. Thank you for making our family Easter perfect.
