About this property

Peaceful Cabin Overlooking the Bogue Chitto River

Peaceful, secluded cabin right on the Bogue Chitto River. A private beach sand bar on the river is just a walk away. The views from the huge porch overlooking the river and all the nature it has to offer are second to none. It is a wonderful place with modern amenities tucked away in peaceful seclusion near the Bogue Chitto River.

I must add a disclaimer: being so close to the river can present logistical difficulties. When the river floods, the cabin is inaccessible. Thankfully, this only happens a few times per year. But in the event that the river rises to unacceptable levels during a booking, guests will receive a full refund for any unused time, as holding anyone accountable for the actions of nature doesn't seem fair to me.

The cabin was very rural but easy to find once given the directions. It was on beautiful land and the cabin itself was gorgeous. It was nicely stocked with kitchen wear, seasonings, cosmetics for the bathroom, etc. very clean and cozy with lovely views of the Bogue Chitto.

Great Cabin!

We loved our time at the cabin. The weather was perfect and the kids had a great time down by the beach digging and collecting rocks. They also loved the hammock! The yard was huge so we were able to play a lot of Bocce.

Great Place & Better Memories

By far one of the BEST places we have ever stayed!Beautiful Cabin on the Bogue Chitto River, lots of space, great decor & amazing porch. Beach was conveniently super close & very clean. Great communication with host! We will be planning another trip sooner rather than later. And when I win the lottery I plan on asking the owner to sell to me, LOL!

Lovely experience great stay. Beautiful property and access to the river whose beach is spacious and uncrowded. Lots of cool rocks to collect if interested in that sort of things— agates, jade, amethyst, etc… My only feedback is I wish the limited supplies had been conveyed to us (one washer pod/one replacement liner/trash can, for example) so that we could have come better prepared, but the Dollar General is a quick 5 min ride away. Be prepared for lots of taxidermy! Ear marking this property for our next cabin get away.

Peaceful! Beautiful! Breathtaking!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this cabin in Franklinton, LA, and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we arrived, I was impressed by the cleanliness, comfort, and attention to detail throughout the property. The first thing my husband did was cast the fishing pole in the river in the back yard. We will definitely be coming back!!

peaceful getaway

It is a spacious cabin with all of the amenities of a home. It is located on the water for easy access to swimming or kayaking. The property is large and near a private beach access. It is a very relaxing home away from home! Communication with the owner and host was superb. I definitely recommend this property.

Best VRBO I’ve ever been to

Our stay at this cabin was one my family and I will remember for a lifetime. The cabin was very nice and secluded which made for the most peaceful relaxing weekend. A short walk to a huge sandbar plus a gorgeous day at the river. My nephews caught fish from the back yard and we had a fire on the beach. my family and I Will be back for sure!

Awkward

The stay was good just rained the whole time my only complaint was I felt uncomfortable there’s cameras everywhere n I just felt like we was being watched the entire time. Feels more like a half way house than a vacational stay
Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 31 Mar 2025
Hi Josh, I'm sorry you feel that way. If you look around hotels, you'll find there's security cameras near entrances and exits, as well. This is just a basic security feature in case anything happens at the property like a burglary; I assure you, no one has the time to be actively monitoring those feeds. But in any case, for your future vacations, I hope you find another VRBO property or hotel that is more to your liking. Cheers.
