The property sits right on the edge of Lake Fork in Texas and has a boat ramp and bait shop right on the premises. ##### Jonathan Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Teresa Aug 30, 2018 Friendly and helpful people. Right on the lake ##### Teresa Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Jul 5, 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Terrible desk clerk Never got checked in. I told the rude employee my name and she barked she didn’t have anything for my last name. Thinking it was a schedule mistake I left. Then she called later to ask if I was checking in. The room somehow got booked in my first name. Had she tried to assist me, maybe we could have figured it out ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Shannon Jun 21, 2018 Liked: Staff & service #### On the water It was good for the $$. Has on the water gas. Nice and quiet when we stayed. ##### Shannon Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Greg, Missouri Apr 30, 2018 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Check-in was smooth and easy. Beds were awful and had some sort of plastic on them...rock hard. TV was LCD but a too small and the remote was tethered to the end-table, indicating that their normal patronage are thieves. Only stayed two nights and the maids forgot to give us towels the 2nd day. I'm not that picky but can't recommend this place. ##### Greg Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Brian Apr 1, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Spring Fishing Trip The information said the beds were queen size but they were actually full size beds. Which was a problem for my brother and I to share. The parking situation was horrible. There is not enough parking spots and power outlets to park a truck and boat. ##### Brian ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 1, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great location and comfortable stay The room was clean and comfortable . Not a four star hotel but that’s not why you go to lake Fork. It’s right by the water with two boat ramps very close. The breakfast in the store was good and they have everything you need. For me it was a great place to stay at a good rate. I would recommend it to anyone looking to get away and fish. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### T.S., louisiana Mar 23, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Room comfort #### Fishing Lake Fork Rooms are convenient. Right on the lake. Clean but not comfortable. ##### T.S. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gertie, Houston TX Nov 6, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Room comfort #### Just plain The first morning, I was awoken at 7:30 with loud knocking at my door. I had to get up and answer the door. The person on the other side of the door said they would come back. They never did, even though I put the maid service sign on the door. They never came for 3 days. This is just a plain Jane motel with no frills. Perfect for fishermen, but not for a female. ##### Gertie Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terri, Richardson, TX Oct 24, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very courteous service. Rooms very clean. Would stay there again without a doubt. ##### Terri Stayed 1 night in Oct 2017 ### 4/10 Poor #### April Oct 24, 2017 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice people! The people here are SO nice but unfortunately the accommodations are terrible. The beds are hard as a rock, and I like a firm mattress. I tossed and turned all night, probably keeping my son awake in the next bed, since the mattresses are covered in plastic and they protest, loudly, with every move. No lamp in the room, so it's either be blinded by the ceiling fan light with no cover and two bare bulbs, or sit in the dark. We sat in the dark. The only good thing I can mention is the shower pressure was great for a motel, but dodging the moldy shower curtain was not. ##### April Stayed 1 night in Oct 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Oct 17, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Clean Comfortable and Friendly This was the first time we stayed at the Minnow Bucket. It is an older facility, but is extremely clean and the beds were so comfortable. It is located right on Lake Fork so its great for anglers. It appears that the property is in the process of updates. Our room was one of the older rooms. We were extremely pleased with the room. If you are accustomed to staying at the Hilton, this is not the place for you. On the other hand, if you want to stay at a clean place with comfortable beds, reasonable prices, incredibly helpful employees, Wifi, and satellite tv, this is the place to go. We will definitely stay there again. Loved the onsite restaurant/convenience store with reasonable prices. Keep up the good work at the Minnow Bucket and don't lose that country hospitality! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard Oct 4, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Richard Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### bob Sep 3, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### bob Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller May 11, 2019 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 23, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 11, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Angela Jul 24, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Angela Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Angela May 30, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service ##### Angela Stayed 1 night in May 2018 ##
