Beautiful Home

This property was perfect for our family reunion. We had 6 adults, 3 teenagers, and 2 younger kids. There was plenty of space for everyone! The house was spotless, had everything that you could need, and was so comfortable. Communication with the host was also so easy. Highly recommend this property!

Retired snowbirds……..

…….testing the waters of a winter getaway and we loved our stay in this beautiful home on Calcasieu Lake! Everything we needed for our extended stay was right at our fingertips in this very well-maintained and well-equipped house/camp. My husband loved fishing from both the dock and from his kayak in the surrounding waters and I thoroughly enjoyed sunny afternoons spent on the back porch or yard with a good book to read. Sunsets are not to be missed!! We enjoyed exploring the Lake Charles and surrounding areas with their beautiful parks, beaches, and yummy seafood restaurants. Thank you, Paula, for all you did to make our stay so pleasant!

Beautiful view of lake

We enjoyed our stay at your wonderful lake house. We used this house as main gathering area for our family, as we had rented 2 other properties in the area. With the extra tables and chairs you provided we were able to have all 24 of us share a meal together there and it worked very well.

Great weekend

Impressive property that really delivered. We used it for a short family get together and had a great time. The property included many extras including grill and a set up to boil shrimp all in a screened area. Dock and pier were great and the fishing was even good off the pier. Property was clean and ready to go with sufficient dishes etc for a large group. Would stay again.

80th Birthday Family Trip

We had a wonderful trip and loved the Lake house. As our family is scattered all over , we’ve traveled and gathered in many vacation homes but this was by far our favorite. The house was so well stocked with quality furnishings and extras. There was so much attention paid to details and so much more than was expected from a rental. We had such a wonderful time enjoying our morning coffee on the porch , cooking full course meals in the kitchen, playing games and watching movies in the roomy, comfortable family room and fishing, relaxing and enjoying sunrise to sunset on the pier. It’s such a peaceful place and we will definitely be back! Paula was so accommodating and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. We loved everything about the home and highly recommended 😃

Beautiful Lake Home A++++

Such an amazing place. We celebrated my birthday at this amazing place. All of our friends that celebrated with us agreed this is a great place! So beautiful.. The manicured lawn is so beautiful! The pier is awesome too! We were able to have our boats there over night, so nice to have the lifts. Also, fishing off of the pier was amazing! We caught crabs, shrimp and speckled trout. A true sportsman paradise. We will be back!!!

Sumer fishing vacation

This property is the best place that I have stayed on big lake. I usually do not need this much room but it is nice when you do. It is a good location on the water and has boat lifts. The kitchen is as well supplied with cooking utensils as my house where most properties do not have a good supply. The down stairs screened room is very nice and has a nice grill and boiling equipment.

Family vacay

This property is awesome! We spent 3 nights here with our 3 sons and their families. It was a perfect setup - each family had their own bedroom space with an attached bathroom. The facilities are unbelievable! The kitchen is well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The open floor plan allowed us to play games at night with lots of space. We cooked in the downstairs room several times and set up the tables and chairs in the breezeway for eating and hanging out. The yard and landscaping is beautiful. We enjoyed the deck out on the water even though we didn’t catch any keeper fish. Quiet and peaceful, Great location! We take a family trip every year and this is one of the nicest properties we have ever been to and Paula is a great host.

Highly Recommend

We rented this beautiful home with another family for Memorial Day weekend. We all agreed that we would love to go back! The home is incredibly spacious, very beautiful and updated, came equipped with all the basic necessities (toilet paper, towels, dish soap, trash bags, laundry detergent, cooking appliances etc) Was SO NICE that we didn’t have to worry about going get all that. Additionally, the AC units worked perfecty in every room. The kids loved having their own private quarters and the parents loved the 2 master suites in the main part of the house. The outside grounds were so lovely. Well maintained landscaping, beautiful large dock, rocking chairs on the porch, huge downstairs area to cook. Highly recommend booking this home. We hope to go back!

Getting away to the Lake

Everything in the house was reflected in the VRBO advertisement - and yet it was better than the pictures. Very comfortable and offered a relaxing break from life as usual. Highly recommended - and this is from a well seasoned global traveler (who can't travel very far right now due to pandemic). Our lake weekend was simply wonderful
