Loved this property

My son and I stayed there for three nights. Both of us absolutely love the quiet peaceful secluded property. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a quiet peaceful place to stay where you can also fish and if you have a boat that's just a cherry on topcherryontop

Not informed of drawdown

Before booking this property, we asked if we’d be able use a boat ramp and to keep our boat in the boathouse for the length of the stay as this was our goal for a four day rental on a lake! Once these things were confirmed, we paid. The owner neglected to tell us until two days before arrival that there was a 5 foot planned drawdown. We could not get a refund and cancel the trip- which is what we would have done had we been given the opportunity. To get in and out of the boat required walking in sink mud up to our knees. The owner offered a partial refund that was NEVER given. For two weeks, we tried texting, emailing, and VRBO called multiple times. There has been no response. Other than the water level being five feet lower, the property was exactly what we were looking for! The fish cleaning area was great. We loved the sunroom with the windows providing great views. The game room was well appointed. Kids caught fish and frogs. Firewood being provided for the fire pit was a plus since most rentals don’t provide that. We made the best of an inaccurate description and bad situation and still had a good time.

Wonderful place except road

The house is wonderful! The only problem is it’s about 3 miles down a dirt (not gravel) swervy hilly road. You will need a 4 wheel drive if pulling a boat. There would have been a problem coming out if it had rained. This wasn’t mentioned anywhere in the description.

Peaceful Getaway

The cabin was just as shown in the pictures of the listing. Everything needed was available on site to make our stay comfortable. We enjoyed the use of the boat house, making it convenient to go out fishing easily and also did some fishing from the dock. We were able to unplug and getaway in this peaceful retreat. Our only regret was the weather didn’t cooperate which ended our trip early but the property owners were great to work with during our unexpected departure.

Best peaceful get away

Your house was a beautiful cozy, quiet place to stay. You had all the things we needed to cook all our meals. Only thing we never could find was the electric cord for the fry daddy but we just used a pot instead to fry our French fries lol. We fished, cooked and played just about all your games. The pool table and dart board along with all the board games kept us entertained for hours. We cannot wait to book our next stay. We pray you stay on VRBO so we can come back again.

The definition of “peacel

If you’re looking for an idyllic getaway - look no further. This secluded and private locale provided exceptional sunsets with comfortable accommodations and plenty of room. A large game room provided the perfect view of the lake. The only recommendation would be to arrive before dark as the road can be a little tricky. Great communication with the owner and a minor issue was resolved instantly. Will definitely be staying again.

Absolutely excellent property! Excellent white perch and catfishing from the dock, and also excellent bass fishing lake. Pool table in the game room was an excellent source of entertainment also. Already planning our next trip back!

A perfect getaway

This property was perfect for our family getaway weekend. The directions were easy to follow. The home was spotless upon arrival and had every amenity needed during our stay. We purchased groceries and cooked most meals in, and lacked for nothing. We visited during an unusually hot week, and the air conditioner kept the home cool for us. The game room was a huge bonus - where our family spent most of our time. With easy access to Monroe and Ruston, this home is in the perfect location for getting away from it all, but you can also have a day away in the larger cities. Our family enjoyed fishing from the dock on the property and took advantage of the boat house as well. We enjoyed our vacation and will keep this property on our list for future trips.

Recommend for a quiet getaway.

We were celebrating our daughter graduating from High School. We had an absolute blast. The property was very nice & secluded. We loved all the rooms but essentially the game room we called it. The views were absolutely beautiful. I don't think we could have found a better spot! Thanks for making our stay beyond what we thought. Keep up the great work out there & we will definitely be seeing it again!

About the host

Hosted by James Cook

Host profile image
My wife and I live on the north side of Monroe, less than 1 hour away. The homes are lovely, but very close to your neighbors. We fell in love with our vacation home the moment we saw it, and were amazed by the sounds of nature instead versus a suburban area. We love being on the water boating, fishing, or swimming with family and friends. We also enjoy 4 wheeler riding and nature hikes with our 4 grandchildren. They especially enjoy our firepit where they can roast marshmallows and make smores. We have made so many wonderful memories with them catching their first fish, chasing fireflies, or observing the occasional raccoon, opossum, squirrel, rabbit, or deer.
We love being new host, and hope you and your family enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Growing up, my parents had a camp on Lake Darbonne, and my grandparents owned a camp on Lake Claiborne, and on Grand Isle. These places are where my greatest childhood memories come from. I have been searching for a place for my family to enjoy on the water and when I first came here, the peacefulness, privacy, and wide-open spaces were so comforting, that I knew my search was over. I hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

The house. It is big, at 2300 sq feet, plenty of room for everyone, as well as comfortable and cozy. Our game room features a pool table, dartboard, and board games for some friendly competition, and lots of laughs. The windows there provide a spectacular view of the lake. God paints a beautiful new picture every day. The sunsets reflecting on the water are breath taking. We have a pair of eagles that often visit a tree near the dock. And we sometimes see flocks of ducks, even white pelicans! Woodpecker, hummingbirds, heron or an occasional owl are not uncommon sights. Our grandchildren were delighted to see the turtles coming from the woods to dig holes in the hot sand to lay their eggs. And, later, smiling to see the empty eggshells. We feel we discovered the perfect place for our whole family to have an occasional get-a-way.
We have a fully stocked kitchen for preparing family meals, and an outside screened area with a very large double grill, refrigerator and double sinks for cleaning the many fish we catch from the dock.
