Cajun Getaway

We were in town to go to Jimmy Swaggart Ministries and eat some Cajun food. Both were great! House had a beautiful view of the lake and sunrises. Cold water was dirty, had to let it run to get dirt out of the system.

If you love being on the water, you will love being in this home! The views are absolutely gorgeous! From the beautiful moonlight coming in at night to the incredible sunrise and gorgeous sunset, you can’t get better than this. The home is incredibly well stocked with everything that you need. High-end appliances with a little extra ice maker making sure you have the ice that’s needed.. The sectional couch is very comfortable with the smart TV making watching easy. The dining room table is very large and great for playing cards and dining! The beds are very comfortable. It has great outdoor space. The host is extremely responsive. I would give this Home a 10 star rating if I could.

Disappointing

The property location was excellent. If needed repairs would be made, this would make a great weekend get away. Upon arrival, a broken wine refrigerator was sitting on the front porch along with a broken large wheel dolly. When entering the home, there were two live cameras located within the living area (Note: the manager did notify us and gave permission to disconnect). There were several closet doors which were broken and off the sliding track rails; hanging. The outside deck (over the water) was in need of repairs making it a safety issue on the south and north side of the home. Repairs had been started but, much needed to be done. All deck furniture was completely broken and remained on the deck scattered about. Shortly after arriving, we realized there was no hot water. The manager was contacted and responded quickly giving us instructions on correcting the problem. However, by morning the problem was not resolved. The manager did not respond until five hours later. As a result, we vacated the property. The manager was unwilling to offer a refund and VRBO offered no assistance. If the problems were corrected, I would be willing to return. This is only my personal opinion (photos taken).

Perfect weekend getaway!

The house was nicely decorated and very comfortable. The host was great...he was very responsive and easy to communicate with and provided extra touches like a welcome basket with wine and snacks, and soft blankets for lounging in the living room. I would definitely recommend this property to friends and family looking for a weekend getaway on False River.

wine down on the river

Went to the area to attend a wine festival in New Roads. Although there was a boating accident on the river that prevented us from enjoying the river for most of the weekend we still had a wonderful time. The house was comfortable but a bit more attention to cleaning of the house pre our arrival would have been nice.
