The Cypress Cottage at False River

Come out and enjoy beautiful False River! The house is an open floor plan with a full kitchen, two sleeping areas, a living area, a bathroom and laundry room.
It sleeps six people (2 sets of twin bunk beds and a queen bed), but could accommodate up to 8 people if you pull out the blowup mattress that we've left in the closet. There is a large upper deck, a lower patio, a big yard space down by the water, and a private pier at the lake for you to enjoy. Perfect "cabin by the lake" setting.
Whether you like boating, fishing, or just visiting out by the water, there is plenty to enjoy out here.

Here's some extra info about the cottage:
-It's an open floor plan with a separate bathroom.
- There are stairs outside of the house that lead you from the upper deck down to the backyard.
-There is one step-down inside of the house; the living area and queen bed are just a little lower than the rest of the house.
-The kitchen has a stove, oven, microwave, and dish washer.
-There is a full-sized washer and dryer for your convenience. Please bring your own detergent.
-There is a small gas grill if you'd like to BBQ.
-Central A/C and Heat
-Wi/Fi
-TV in living area with Netflix, Amazon streaming video, and OTA broadcast channels

Historic New Roads is just across the lake and beautiful St. Francisville is a drive right across the Mississippi River on the John James Audubon bridge. There are hiking opportunities not far at Tunica hills and boat rentals on False River.

If bringing (small) dogs they need to be on a leash at all times while outside and kenneled at night. They are not allowed on the furniture.

Outside of the property was not picked up (leftover beer bottles and cigarettes) and clean towels were left in the dryer when we arrived. Still was a wonderful stay and a beautiful property! Loved the location and the size of the cottage. Would stay here again!

Everything was perfect from start to finish. The view was incredible and there was plenty of outdoor space to enjoy including a huge back porch with a large outdoor dining table and a private pier with a swing. The decor was absolutely adorable and the owners made excellent use of all the space. Communication with the owner was seamless and he made the check-in process simple. It was such a relaxing getaway and I can’t wait to return again.

We wanted a semi close get away to fish and enjoy a couple of days. This was perfect for me and my son. My mother has back trouble so the stairs going to the yard/pier was rough for her but manageable. Plenty of sleeping area and very clean. Caught some good fish too!

The term DON’T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER is an understatement. This lil cottage was impeccable and very well maintained. My daughter visited with the grandkids and were in love with the place. We enjoyed our peaceful and relaxing weekend. After their brief visit we enjoyed sitting and swinging outside. A fantastic place to stay and will revisit soon 🙏

We had a Great Time on a very nice place to just hang out and not do nothing which is what we were looking for. But if you have something you want to do there are many options. Place was clean and we slept well. Beds were great. We would go back. Thank You!

The Cypress Cottage has a great vibe -- super cute interior, quiet, nice back deck and pier. I'd expected privacy fencing, but that was my mistaken assumption. I was still able to do yoga in the back yard without noticeable scrutiny from neighbors (who I did not see much). I thought there would be more / better food in the area, but I was able to get by with heating leftovers and light cooking -- if you're better at cooking in stainless steel than I am (probably the whole country is), you'll be fine :)

we enjoyed the property and the camp. it would be nice if it were treated really good for mosquitoes and gnats though, i felt stuck inside after 6pm and could not have coffee on the balcony, but at least the pier was much better. also, to have the outside fridge cleaned and the porch and underneath hosed would be nice. still really enjoyed your cute camp

Gave check-in 4 stars. It was not obvious as to where the key box was. I possibly even misread some details in an email. However, I would give the owner 10 stars on communication when I reached out to them about the key box. Very prompt and nice. Tip: if you’re bringing a boat, go to the landing down the road at LA Express first. We had plenty of room but we have a 20ft boat and the yard was dry. Bigger and wetter, may have issues.

Loved the property. Tiny cottage but perfect for our family of 5 for a few nights. Would definitely stay again. Rented a pontoon and enjoyed the water in the backyard.
