We had the best time! We enjoyed fishing, kayaking, paddle boating, playing on the leap pad, and playing games at night. It was a very peaceful place and my kids begged to stay longer. I wish we could have. It was such an inviting place to be. We will definitely book again in the future!

Lovely cottage on the lake

Loved watching the sun set across the lake while sitting on the comfortable dock each night. Enjoyed the gentle breeze across the water. Visiting the area in June from Texas, we marvelled at the lack of mosquitoes. Cottage was comfortably cooled by several window A/C units and ceiling fans. The cottage was cozy yet spacious enough for visiting. Comfortable beds and lovely decor. Recommend this as a very relaxing place to stay!

Charming Cottage!

This is such a charming, cozy little cottage! The space may be tight, but each room is furnished with an eye to comfort and the maximizing of space. Comfort and efficiency are in abundance! Both the exterior and interior are light and airy. You just walk in and smile because it’s so adorable! Attention, tall people and klutzes: Watch your head and watch your step, and enjoy the views!

Right when we pulled up and walked in I felt like I had walked into a Nicholas Sparks novel!!! The sun shone brightly through the extravagant windows, that looked out upon the magnificent view of the lake. The cottage filled the smell of coffee and bacon. I took my breakfast on the back deck. Even though it was going to be a hot day the breeze from the lake was refreshing. I looked up expecting to see the local boat builder come around the corner….. and then “Mom!!!!!“ Let’s go paddle boating, let’s go fishing, let’s go kayaking!” Shook me out of my daydream LOL!!! There was cornhole, there was volleyball, there was badminton. After dinner they wore us out with the board games too! This cottage and its host really did go above and beyond for a wonderful stay. So, whether you are looking for a romantic Nicholas Sparks type getaway, or a family fun filled vacation, this Cottage does not disappoint! We can not wait to come back for more memories!

Lake cottage.

A-frame home on the lake, has paddle boats, kayaks and an area for a camp fire! My grandkids, my son and I had a blast. Big yard with other yard games available that kept the children occupied. They did not want to leave. My two granddaughters especially like the top floor which they took over and made it the “Girls Only Room”

Perfection

This was a wonderful experience! The owners supplied everything you could possibly need for a fantastic weekend. They also decorated the house for Christmas. Every room had a personal touch. When my teenage nieces arrived, they immediately said "Meme, this is incredible." We had such a nice, relaxing weekend, and we will certainly be back.

Paradise

This property had every thing we desired. Very Clean - beds were very comfortable- had all the amenities, Co- located to the lake with a deck and Pavillion and very clean . We had acess to two boats. Two great coffee pots with all types of coffee. Tammie and brock thought of every thing. Two Grills, one for grilling and one for frying. Grass was cut neatly leading to the lake and a fire pit with wood just waiting on us to enjoy. Chocolates & mushroom for roasting. Words can not explain how impressed we were about this cottage. Towels were many and exceedingly clean with an outstanding smell I am writting just like I am feeling - totally excited. Quiet, peaceful and very secure . Superb location and price. I rate this Cottage and location all 5"s in every aspect. Unfortunately we had an emergency back home and we had to leave early - broke our hearts because every thing was perfect - the weather- the cottage and the lake. The Owner were so graceful and only charged us for the time we spent. They even gave us a military discount and that is a first for us. I will be returing as soon as possible to enjoy all this Cottage has to offer and enjoy. Strongly recommend this Cottage! .

Amazing experience!

I can’t say enough good things about Tammie and our stay at the cottage. It’s a unique property that was so cozy and perfect for us. The kids absolutely loved the loft area and being able to kayak and fish every day. It’s such a peaceful and beautiful place. Tammie went above and beyond multiple times to ensure we had the best time possible. So grateful. We will return!

Everything about the cottage is unique. There's plenty of room with the way it's laid out, too. Tammie was very accommodating. I'll definitely be back again and next time, maybe I'll have a chance to fish.

Wonderful Lake Property

I absolutely loved this cottage by the lake. It was peaceful and quiet outside on the property. There are neighbors but I hardly saw them. The deck was wonderful to sit and watch the sunrise or sunsets. The cottage was clean, beautifully decorated and had many every day articles to use like utensils, soap, paper towels. Parking was easy and we had plenty of space. Master bedroom bed was very comfortable with plenty of pillows and blankets. The huge windows and incoming sunlight is spectacular. It was about 40 mins to New Orleans downtown in one direction and 40 mins in another to Gulf Coast. Perfect location for visiting different areas of Louisiana and Mississippi. Tammie was a great host and communicated with in a few minutes of getting messages about check in and check out. Would highly recommend staying here.

The Most Amazing Cottage!!

We loved this cottage! The owner, Tammie was so helpful and made us feel so welcome. The pictures don’t really do the place justice! It was clean, comfortable in every way, and had everything we could have needed in the kitchen and baths. We were able to host my daughter's 9th birthday here and it was more than perfect!! The view was amazing, whether you were sitting on the upstairs balcony, dinning from the back porch or sitting inside looking out the oversized windows. We enjoyed our nights by the firepit watching movies and our days on the lake kayaking and fishing! Not to mention the swing on the deck was the perfect spot for morning coffee!! We will definitely be back and hopefully soon!!

Thanksgiving Trip To Visit Family

This cottage was one of the most amazing places we have ever stayed. I was blown away by the cleanliness of the cottage and the old vintage feel, reminiscent of my grandparents home in Canada. The lake was absolutely gorgeous and the view was like waking up to a beautiful dream every morning. We made a camp fire one night and had the best time sitting around and chatting. I will want to stay in this same cottage on all future visits. I highly recommend this property. The home owner was a jewel to deal with. I love this place and the memories created. The setting was ideal for all of our family photo's as well. Thank you for the amazing vacation destination.

Amazing place to gaze stars at night

This cottage in the lake remained me those Scandinavian summer cottages. Owner Ms. Tammie has kept this cottage in very good condition and all her décor in the house is well chosen, and it gives homey, comfortable feelings. Cottage is very inviting and you will have peace and quiet, if it is what you are looking for. We had a crisp autumn night by the campfire to look amazing sky full of stars. The only wish I had is to have a king size bed in master bed, but her queen size was also comfortable with good scenting linens. We will be back to visit this cute cottage.
