About this cottage rental

Prices have been reduced after October 14 for Bridge construction.
**** Bridge Construction NOTE:
The Middle Bayou Bridge will be closed from October 14 - November 8. This will impact passage to the main Hamlin body of water for approximately 5 days during this period. Which 5 days have not been scheduled. This will impact everyone bringing a boat as you will not be able to dock during these 5 days. A map of the detour can be found in the pictures.
South Bayou Bridge work through November 8, 2024. With the closure of that bridge you will not be able to launch your boat there. Choose Duneview, Wilson or Victory parks, or the North Bayou Marina for launching.

Such a perfect spot to relax. On the water with the docks. Great fishing and so well stocked in the house. They had everything! We launched our boat at the state park and kept it on the dock for the long weekend. The bridge clearance is tight with a 22 foot walk around. Take the rods and top down. Need less than 1.5 foot draft and the motor way up to get under the bridge.

Staying in this cottage was a great experience. VERY clean and the most well equipped VRBO I have ever been in. The description online was accurate, it is right on the water and getting into Hamlin Lake was very easy. We have a 23 ft. boat/trailer so that made parking a slight challenge, but we managed. Thank you for a great week.

The cottage was very nice. Very clean, well kept, modern, comfortable. Better stocked kitchen and bathroom than probably any Vrbo we have rented. Really appreciated not having to bring toilet paper, paper towels, and basic things like salt and pepper. Access to the lake is fantastic! We caught plenty of fish and loved having such easy boat access with the dock right there. We also appreciated not having a long list of chores to complete before we left. The only real con to the property for us was the proximity to neighbors and the smallness of the yard as well as the parking situation. The yard looks bigger in the pictures than it actually is, and the neighbors are nice but very close. (We listened to the neighbor cut down tree stumps with a chain saw right outside the bedroom window for 2 days.) The parking situation was also a little cramped. It’s a shared driveway with the neighbor, and we were blocked in and had to ask them to move once.

This property has everything you could need! We enjoyed our weekend and hope to return during the summer when we can take full advantage of water and activities the area has to offer.

We have stayed in many rentals….none as well stocked as Bayou Bungalow. We try to leave a rental better than we found it … but there was nothing extra we could have done or stocked. Great stay. We would return!

Our family absolutely loved our stay at the cabin on the lake. We were able to catch many fish right from the dock. The water on Hamlin lake was very rough during our stay so we used our kayaks on the bayou and it was perfect. The cabin was fully stocked with EVERYTHING and was very clean. The neighbors are very nice too. We will definitely be back soon!

This was our 3rd time staying at this lovely cottage and we will definitely come back. If I could rate this a 10 I would! The new bed was so comfy! I also loved the addition of the swing! I sat outside swinging, reading and enjoying the beautiful lake view every day. Randy fished everyday. Being able to dock the boat right outside your back door can't be beat! The cabin is so well furnished with everything you could possibly need. The only con I can think of is that 2 weeks wasn't long enough! Thank you Laura! See you next year!
