About this property

Cozy Lakefront Property on Big Lake with Private Wharf

In 1948, Norman & Elsie Beadle closed a deal with the Hebert family on a small patch of land in the Hebert Summer Place subdivision south of Lake Charles, LA. They built a one-room camp named ItSuitsUs that withstood Hurricane Audrey (although it floated off the foundation blocks and swung around tethered by the power line) for fishing and duck hunting. In the 1980’s, the one room camp passed to my father & mother. Following the near destruction of the camp by Hurricane Rita in 2005, the camp was passed on to myself and my wife, Marci. We built the new camp up from a bare lot with our own hands and the help of family and anyone we could tempt out to the site with Marci’s home cooking and the adventure of continuing the legacy of ItSuitsUs.

In 2007 Marci and I rechristened the camp ItSuitsUs II and opened it to our family and friends for a traditional Fourth of July celebration. Now in 2024, we want to share the camp in its 75th year with your family.

ItSuitsUs II has been recently updated following the ravages of Hurricane Laura - new floors, new siding, fresh paint, and lovely kitchen counters. She is all dolled up for you!

much needed family getaway
words can’t express how amazing this place and Mrs. Marci is! She was quick to respond to any questions i had and even had a binder in the house with notes and helpful ideas for the area! We caught a few good red fish, a few large gar fish and gas tops! Most of all following a hard end of the year last year and busy start to this year, this was just the reset we needed. The house is comfortable and relaxing and the property quiet and our little family had loads of fun! Thank you for sharing your amazing home with us! We hope to be back soon!
