Nice place on a beautiful lake!

What a great weekend!!! The kids enjoyed tubing and swimming at the pier and the hot tub was a nice bonus. This is a great place for a relaxing weekend getaway!

Awesome place to stay!

We have a reunion with friends every year at Lake Saint John, and by far this was the best. Pier was super nice, with plenty of room for all 4 boats, and was also a great place to watch the sunset. Will recommend to friends, and defiantly book again next year!

Great time at Lake St John

The house was very clean and nice, and in a beautiful location. We had a great time there! We didn’t go there to fish, but it was nice sitting on the back porch just enjoying the lake, the birds, and the boaters. I highly recommend this property!

Nice place

We enjoyed the hot tub and the dock. House was clean. I didn’t know it was a duplex until right before we got there but no one was in the other side. I did not like the Vrbo app it was not user friendly but the property owners can’t help that. The price was fair.

Short getaway

The wife and I carried our 3 sons and brought our boat for a change of scenery/ small getaway. We had a great time fishing from the dock and down the lake, caught some fish, grilled and enjoyed the scenery and hot tub. Location was clean and well kept and would definitely recommend. We would gladly visit again in the future!

Loved being on the water!

The property was everything it was supposed to be. Plenty of room for two couples. Just the break we all needed. Close enough to explore Natchez and still enjoy the lake. Ms Betty was very sweet and helpful.

This was the perfect place to stay with other family members while we were in town from California to visit and celebrate a very special occasion. We were on the go most of the time and wish we could have taken better advantage of the pier and peacefulness. The camp was clean and comfortable and we had pretty much everything we needed. We hope to be back some day in the not-too-distant future and really enjoy this beautiful place.

We love Emotional Rescue

This was our second visit! We had a great time! The fish were biting! My husband and son enjoyed fishing for four days! The views are beautiful! The owners have everything you need and are available locally if you need anything. We will return again and again. We highly recommend the Ducks Nest II Resturant! You must try it!

Beautiful and Peaceful!

My girlfriends and I had a wonderful time at this beautiful and well-equipped duplex on the lake. The hot tub was hot and ready and the home is well equipped with cooking utensils, crock pots, washer/dryer, and plenty of room in kitchen for cooking and storage. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all good size. Plenty of chairs on the back porch to relax in. The owner was very helpful and attentive. I would visit and hope to do so again very soon!

Wonderful Lakefront House

This is a great place to stay while touring Natchez or just enjoying lakefront living. Modern duplex (owner's vacation home next door) is bright and comfortable with an open view of the lake. Lake is about 30 feet from house with a private long pier. It was so nice to sit on the benches at the end of the pier and watch the water fowl. Natchez is about 20 minutes away with many interesting sights to see and good restaurants. We enjoyed eating at the Magnolia Grill, Cotton Ally, and Pig Out Inn. Vicksburg battle field is about a hour away with awesome monuments. Hope to return to Lake St. John.
