Located directly on the famous 'Chicken Coop': We are located on a stretch of the Sabine River bed that touches the west side of the lake and stays close to shore for nearly 2 miles. This prime fishing area is well known to locals as The Chicken Coop. This crappie hole was named such because of several large commercial chicken houses that once lined the top of the ridge near the river bank. This deep stretch of the river is has developed a reputation over the years of producing almost unbelievable numbers of crappie for approximately six to eight weeks during the winter, depending on weather conditions.

About Missy Gegenheimer or Tracy Gegenheimer

Originally from New Orleans, my husband and I moved to Katy, TX in 2005, due to a company relocation. In 2010, the same company reorganized, leaving me with two options: seek employment or self employment. We followed our hearts and started our vacation rental business. We have 3 wonderful children, 3 adorable grandchildren, and 4 terrific dogs.

Missy Gegenheimer or Tracy Gegenheimer purchased this lodge in 2010
Why Missy Gegenheimer or Tracy Gegenheimer chose Milam

Being from South Louisiana originally, we have always loved living close to the water, so we searched for waterfront property that offered great fishing, water sports for the kids, scenic shorelines, and breathtaking views. Without a doubt, Toledo Bend was the perfect spot and construction of our Lake House began in 2010. We are located on a bluff, directly above the Sabine River on the 'Chicken Coop', a deepwater section of the river that is famous for great cool weather crappie fishing . Toledo Bend reservoir is ranked nationally as having some of the best year-round bass fishing in the United States. As an added bonus, the panoramic view from our covered deck allows us to see the western border of Louisiana, our home state.

What makes this lodge unique

The bluff over the lake offers privacy from boat traffic and spectacular sunsets every evening. There is a natural cove on our property which allows for access to the water and a natural shalestone beach. Our guests enjoy swimming, tubing, and jet skiing right from the cove and fishing from our pier. For those who enjoy 4-wheeling fun, nine miles of off road trails through Sabine National Forest is just 1/2 mile from our property. The forest also provides for great hunting. Toledo Bend Reservoir is a nationally known bass fishing lake, and numerous tournaments are held here each year. The forest is also known for excellent deer hunting. For wildlife enthusiasts, bald eagles nest nearby and provide quite a spectacle when perched in the pine trees that line the bluff. Fox, red headed woodpeckers, cardinals, black squirrels, ducks, and deer are among many species of wildlife that are very common in the area. East Texas is also part of the central flyway for multiple species of neotropical migratory birds including songbirds, hawks, and shorebirds.

My family and my in-laws stayed at the Cliffside Cottage this past weekend and it was great. The cottage is very clean and fit our 12 guests comfortably. There are 4 nice sized bedrooms with very soft beds. The open kitchen, dining, living room made it where everyone could visit when downstairs. The movie room was the highlight for most of us and especially the children. It has a projector, xbox 360 and large theater like screen. Outdoors has a grill, fire pit, nice porch and dock to fish from. They have really thought of everything down to a place to clean your catch. Our family will definitely be back.

We had a blast at your place this weekend, and hope we left it clean and in satisfactory condition. This is definitely the best place we have ever stayed on Toledo Bend, and it is where we will stay from now on. The yard is huge, the views are magnificent, and the Cabin is clean as can be!
The media room is to die for, and the foosball table was a blast.

I don't even know where to begin... This place, and location are absolutely wonderful. I said many times during my stay that I wish I could either live here, or pick it up and move the house to another location (closer to work). The Lodge is amazing! Tracy and Missy are wonderful hosts. They came by during our stay to make sure we didn't need anything and that everything was to our satisfaction. YES! Everything was to our satisfaction and no we didn't need anything because they have provided everything you could possibly need. I have stayed at many other vacation homes and I can't tell you how much I appreciated not having to bring linens, and towels!!! All you have to bring to Cliffside is your clothes, food and drinks! The photos provided are very nice, but they don't do the home justice. I also liked that they provided games (indoor and out) and movies for the media room. Thank you Tracy and Missy for the media room, watching tv and movies at my house will never be the same! The media room spoiled and ruined me! I will be returning and I will be recommending your Lodge to others.

If anyone is questioning if this will be a great place to rent, the answer is yes! My only suggestion is to get there during the daylight because you might not find it in the dark. Everyone in my party got lost, but we were able to find them and get them here safely.

Tracy and Missy are available at all times during your stay. They really have a great thing here at Cliffside, and I can't wait to return.

I have to say that the there not enough words to explain what a great place you have. The actual lodge is better than the pictures. Me and my family had a great time. The only thing to complain about is having to leave. Tracy you were a great host, you lodge was prepared for everything. We will return. Thanks for a great birthday weekend.
