Anniversary getaway

My husband and I along wanted a quiet restful mini vacation for our 32nd wedding anniversary. We chose the Getaway Cottage and loved everything about our stay! Cathy is the sweetest host ever. Her cottage was clean, comfortable and quiet. She made sure that our stay was perfect with a comfy bed, soft towels, nice decor, coffee bar and smart tv. We will definitely stay there again next time we are in Lake Charles.

Cute As A Button!

My sisters ,niece and I just stayed at the “Getaway Cottage “… couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay! It was perfect for the four of us.. I’ve stayed in quite a few Vrbo.. have never had one so well appointed with anything you would need to make your stay comfortable…check In was a breeze and Cathy was always checking to see if we needed anything! We were only a couple miles to shopping or places to eat…we will be back for sure!

An Absolutely Perfect Spot

It was a perfect situation for our annual golf trip. We played 4 courses in four days and ate drank and gambled until we couldn't stand it any more. The House and the Host were exceptional. it had everything we could need and a nice quiet area close to everything. It was well stocked and well appointed. It even had a large number of hangers for clothes in every closet.(a great detail.) If we decide to come back I look forward to booking this listing again. This could be a great spot to launch more adventures . I would love to give it 12 stars but your scale doesn't go that high. Thanks

Amazing Stay!

This Gettaway Cottage was impeccably finished, clean and beautiful. Check in was easy and the host worked with us when she found out we would be arriving a few hours before check in. It's located 4 min away from the Civic center and there are many places to eat/drink within 10 min from the house. Great Stay and we WILL be booking again!

Wonderful Birthday Vacation for three 50ish ladies

This property was a delightful, well appointed property with excellent communication with Cathy. Property was well stocked with amenities and little extras, which was most appreciated. Cottage was clean, roomy and safe. We were able to park and sit in carport/back yard behind a closed fenced/gate. Thank you munchies.

Great long weekend in Lake Charles

Excellent overall experience. Cathy was a great host providing outstanding communication. The house was very clean, well appointed with all needed supplies and good location. Our family was in town for our child's sporting event which we expect to do more of over the coming years and we plan to stay at this house for those trips.

Amazing experience in every way

Cathy was an amazing host, and her house was adorable! The decor was perfect, in fact I wish my home was that cute! It was also spotless and had everything we could have dreamed of needing. The little touches she does to make you feel welcome and special are second to none. If you have kids, the back yard has a privacy fence, and she even has a soccer ball for it. The coffee bar has everything you need and more. The beds are very comfortable and so are the chairs and couches in the living room. It is a safe and secure home. Cathy was very helpful and thoughtful. I will need to travel to Lake Charles in the future and I will always stay here! Thank you, Cathy, for being an amazing host!
