Awesome place for family time. David and Crystal were excellent in communication and very accommodating extra items provided were a pleasant feature. Could not have asked for anything better. No one wanted to depart. Poker table was a great addition. Fishing provided enough for a fish fry. Great times for all

Our son was playing baseball in Lake Charles this week so the team all rented cabins near by. Best idea ever! This place was perfect to return home to. Clean! 10/10 On the water for 24/7 access to fish! Light on the pier for late night fishing was a perk I didn’t know my kids needed. We will be back!

I loved everything about our stay here. From the great communication with the hosts, to the location, the gorgeous sunsets and the amenities - this place had it all. We didn't have kids with us this time, but would highly recommend to anyone who does. Gorgeous home, thank you for sharing it with us!

We loved the place. The dock was fantastic. Even though the weather wasnt the greatest, the house had plenty to keep our 12 year old grandson occupied.

The home is well maintained and clean: fresh sheets and blankets, plenty of cozy pillows, plenty of hot water/showers, soaps and such. The landscaping and view is outstanding. Kitchen well stocked. Clean and sparkling. The patio overlooking the lake well-lit and charming. It's easy to find on GPS. Caught some redfish, yum. Plenty of room for a family to spread out for fun, sun and play. The neighbors respectful and kind. We felt very safe. The owners/host are kind, helpful and honest - they kept me informed as to the status as we went thru process of reservations to check in. As I wrote - a perfect holiday home. It made my top of the list of the VRBO properties I rented.

We really enjoyed our time on this spring break getaway. Kids got to go down the pier, set crab traps and go fishing. Adults got to relax. We received some awesome food recommendations for crawfish and boudin from the owners. Definitely follow directions to bring big spray:)

Our trip was a mother and daughter get away! 1 mother and 3 daughters we are from Louisiana and one of my sisters has a camp but it’s only accessible by boat and well we all know how men are about their toys!! Lol! Everything that the host has said about this camp is absolutely the truth and then some!! It was by far one of our best trips! The host are amazing in every way you could think of! I don’t think 5 stars is enough for this one!!

House and all facilities on the grounds are beautiful, comfortable and extremely relaxing. It’s a great place to stay if you want to fish, hunt or just relax with friends and/or family. The grounds are clean and spacious. I highly recommend booking this property. The host communicates well with guests to make sure they stay is the best possible. Looking forward to staying again.

If you’re looking for peace and quiet, this is the spot! The house is so cozy and comfortable, it’s the perfect house for a lake getaway. We came here to fish and just disconnect from home. Everything you can think of is here. The fishing pier is awesome and even has a covered section if it’s raining. Beds are comfy. I slept like a baby. We didn’t bring our kids on this trip, but the upstairs bedroom is perfect for the kiddos with a tv and games. The outdoor patio is awesome with an expansive view of the lake. It’s so relaxing just sitting on the patio overlooking the lake and watching the pelicans. The sunsets are spectacular. Love that we’re still close to town if we want to eat out or shop, and the local Dollar General is close by for basic necessities. T-Boys Grill is a must for classic Cajun and southern comfort food!

The downstairs does not have curtains throughout. We felt uncomfortable and asked to cancel our stay after the first 2 hours we were there. There cancelation policy does not allow for this. IF there were curtains, we would not have wanted to cancel so the policy is not visitor friendly. The lake view was VERY nice and we suffered through our 4 night stay. All women were traveling and our safety is of upmost importance. Hard to relax at night under these conditions.

We wanted to stay close to lake Charles because we delivered a chicken coop to the area. We love to go fishing so we found your beautiful camp and was very excited about renting it. It is a beautiful camp and will be coming back again.

This property was a perfect destination for my friend and I to take a break from the stress of life. The house was so charmingly decorated and looked exactly like the pictures online. Sitting under the covered porch in the back was so quiet and peaceful as we enjoyed the awesome view of the lake. The owners were wonderful to work with as well. We will definitely keep this property on our favorites list and hope to go back sometime.

We brought our son to celebrate his graduation. As per usual for us the trip had some hiccups. But staying here made the trip relaxing.
The beds are super comfortable. The host was very responsive to all questions throughout the entire process and stay.
Everyone was able to spread out and do what they wanted. Some were fishing, some watching tv, and some playing cards.
They even had bath toys for my toddler and a PS3!
We left our weekend trip with a couple hard head catfish, about 2 dozen large crabs, and (after a trip to rutherford beach) 3 gaffe top catfish, 3 large black drum, and about 2 dozen snails.
Thank you so much for allowing us to stay.
