Definitely worth it!
If you're looking to get away, relax, and fish, this is the spot to go. Its quiet, and so relaxing, especially in the mornings drinking coffee out on the deck. I absolutely recommend!

Best Birthday Bass Fishing!
I highly recommend staying at Sweet Dove! It was my husband’s birthday week and we had a great time fishing on the property and Lake Fork. The cottage was immaculate and the owner was very helpful. We plan to stay there again in the future.

We had a very good time staying here for the Big Bass Splash. The host was very helpful and took very good care of all our needs. The little Cottage is set up perfect for 2 people but we were comfortable with 4 as well. Very nice relaxing and visiting on the deck overlooking the pond. Thanks again Shane for a very good stay. See ya’ll again next year or before probably!
