We have stayed at this house for the past three years for the Madisonville Wooden Boat Show. It is well-equipped and a great location and the host is always very responsive.

Nice place for Family gathering

Chose this VRBO to be close to one of the siblings and their family. A great house for this, and the owners went out of the way to make us feel at home.

We really enjoyed our stay. The owners John and Karen were great during our stay. The property sets on a bayou that offers great scenery and really good fishing. It’s in a great area that feels remote while nestled in the town of Madisonville. We had ages from 17-49 and everyone enjoyed the stay. The house was clean and comfortable. We will definitely be going back when we are in the area.

Granddaughter Graduation

Family of 7 came for high school graduation. The cottage was very nice and the hosts were excellent. Beautiful property. We were pretty busy but we did make some time for just a little fishing. The kitchen had anything we needed. We would definitely come back.
