My son and I after my dad and I 50 years later

This is an amazing place. The ownership is different, but it's the same place that I visited 50 years earlier with my family. My son caught some bass right there at the old launch.

It was very nice for the area, but we had issues with the shower, the cold water wouldn’t work at all and the hot water was scalding hot. Other than that, it’s a very nice place with nice owners.

Perfect little room

We were in town for a baseball tournament! It was perfect for what we needed. Definitely recommend! Look forward to staying again. We stayed in the 1 bed room, it was me & my 9 year old & it was perfect! Perfect little spot for a couples getaway!

Excellent experience

I chose to stay at Driftwood last year and had such a good experience that I decided to stay again and I was not disappointed. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. My room was clean and had everything I needed. The restroom and shower was clean and well maintained. The A/C worked great. The parking area was clean and well lit. Everything was great and I would definitely consider Driftwood again for another stay in the future.

The property is old but the rooms have been updated. I was really surprised with the rooms inside. I have stayed at other lodges at Toledo Bend that are old. I did get my moneys worth here. The staff was very friendly and addressed my only problem as soon as I told them. I could not get my tv to work. They had it working in 3 miniutes.

We did not stay the night at this property. We pulled in to a gravel area with all kinds of junk around. Knocked on a couple of doors in the front building. There were no other cars around. No one answered. We drove around the larger building and still did not find anyone. We saw one car at the back of the building and drove to it. We then saw a window that said open, ring bell. We rang and waited. A woman answered and said it would be $85. We asked what was going on and she said all the customers were staying in the back. Then she gave us a key to the room next door. They did not have an office, just a window that barely opened. We signed our receipt on the concrete wall outside with a pencil the woman handed us. The room was hot and muggy, with no air on and it stunk. We were told it was 6.6 miles from Milam, Tx., but it was 35 miles away. We were scammed out of our money and limited time we had for the day to visit a friend. The man, Tom, was very rude and obviously a little shady. There was no way we would have felt safe staying there.
