Castaway Cottage on Lake St. Joseph

Escape the hustle and bustle with a serene lakeside retreat! This charming 3-bedroom home offers breathtaking views, a spacious deck, and a private pier for your morning coffee and evening sunsets. Enjoy a day of fishing right off the pier, surrounded by stunning scenery. With a king bed in Bedroom 1 and queen beds in Bedrooms 2 and 3, this cozy getaway comfortably sleeps 6. We offer the convenience of early check-in and late check-out when available. We will notify guests when the house is cleaned, sanitized, and ready for check-in, usually around noon. Enjoy YouTube TV, Roku TV, and Prime Video + more on 5 televisions for your entertainment.

The laundry room is fully equipped with a washer and dryer, along with complimentary washing liquid and dryer sheets. You'll also find games conveniently stored in the laundry room.

The backyard porch is screened in, allowing you to relax outside at any time. It is equipped with a hanging heater and two fans to ensure your comfort.

In the backyard, you'll find swings for your enjoyment. The firepit is a perfect spot to unwind, and we provide starter logs in the laundry room for your convenience.

The pier is a highlight of our property, complete with lights, ample seating, a hanging heater under the gazebo, and two fans. Relax on the pier and witness breathtaking sunsets. Feel free to tie your personal boat to the pier during your stay.

For fishing enthusiasts, we offer three fishing rods and four fishing poles, along with a tackle box, fish cleaning knife, and fish cleaning table.

Here are some fishing tips: Breams or bluegill and crappie tend to gather under the cypress trees on both sides of the pier. Use worms or crickets as bait, ensuring the tip of the hook is not showing. Perch, bass, and bowfin prefer shiners (minnows) or crickets. Catfish and alligator gar are not picky eaters and will go for anything. Lake St. Joseph is home to a variety of fish species.

In the town of Newellton, you'll find stores such as Family Dollar, Dollar General, and Britt's Pharmacy, offering food options since the nearest grocery store, Mac's Fresh Market in St. Joseph, is 14.9 miles away. The Tensas Wildlife Refuge is just 10 miles away, providing a great opportunity to explore nature.

Lake St Joseph
We had a wonderful time. Lovely property and lake. Was listed by VRBO as Lake Bruin....it's actually St Joseph.....perfect lake for young children learning to fish. Perfect for adults also. Loved it!

Great time!
House was very nice and clean! Everything was as described in the listing. Furniture & beds were super comfortable too! Screened in back porch was lovely and the dock has lots of extra amenities. Except for some yelling the first night, the neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. Didn't catch very many fish, but that's why they call it fishing, not catching! One suggestion would be to put a mat or something in the shower as it's very slippery.

If you're looking for a break from everyday life this is the place. It's a cozy home on the water. Great for fishing, enjoying the water, stars and relaxing. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need for cooking. The bathrooms and bedrooms are stocked with extra towels and blankets. We would definitely stay here again.

Our host just gets the best review possible. The place was spotless and cozy. It was stocked with virtually everything guests could need, except fresh fruit, vegetables, snacks, entrees, and of course, drinks (although there were even up to ten bottles of water in the fridge). What impressed me the most was that the bedding (pillows, blankets and bedspreads included) smelled like home…fresh and clean. Outside was peaceful and serene, as well as ‘eye candy’ for nature lovers. Our host was easily accessible during our stay and met our every need. On top of all this, we have a special needs child and he could move around easily and safely. HE was happy there…very big deal!

Relaxing and very clean lake home!
Upon our late afternoon arrival, we were glad to see that it was exactly as described on VRBO. The house was well stocked with everything we needed and more. The view from the back porch was beautiful. The owners thought of everything! Would stay here again!
