Our stay was nothing short of amazing. The views were stunning. We enjoyed fishing off the pier and our kids enjoyed the sand near the water. Overall our stay was an experience we will never forget.

Thank you for your review.We love it when our guest have a peaceful retreat.Also we want to thank you for leaving our place in exceptional condition. You and your family are welcome anytime!
We had a birthday party and the place had plenty of room for everyone. Nice view of the lake and was very secluded. The house was very clean and well furnished with plenty of seats for everyone. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely consider again in the future.
My son and I stayed there for three nights. Both of us absolutely love the quiet peaceful secluded property. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a quiet peaceful place to stay where you can also fish and if you have a boat that's just a cherry on topcherryontop

Thank you for your nice review.It was a pleasure meeting you and your wife.I just wish the weather would have been better for fishing. Sincerely James.
This was a wonderful place to relax and getaway from the hustle and bustle. Plenty of things to do like fish, play games, and walk trails. Located right on the water for boat activities and swimming.
Calm, quiet and peaceful. Decorated with incredible, original art. Would recommend.

The property was so comfortable. The game room is awesome. And i feel the need to mention the showers! Holy cow! I need those showers as a thing in my life.
We booked this place as a place to stay during a baseball tournament. We ended up falling in love with the tranquility of it all. Secluded and quiet with views for days. The kids enjoyed fishing and spotting wildlife. Definitely the slow down we needed. Property was clean and well kept. House was perfectly cooled. And the water pressure was amazing. Was also delighted with the gas stove, seasonings and all the amenities provided. Owner answered quickly and made wonderful accommodations. Entertainment was great and WiFi was perfect for doing a little work during the week. Discussing coming back just to enjoy the place without baseball.

The Delcampo family were the ultimate guest.They were easy to host and very friendly. They followed all rules and left our place in great cond .I would highly recommend other host to not hesitate booking this family
They were great!!!
This property was the perfect private retreat. Plenty of yard space for children to play and the dock provided for some great fishing. We loved the outside grill area that allowed you to grill even if it rained and the game room and dock the provided exellant views. We would definately stay there again.

Dear Kimberly,
It was a pleasure to host you and your family. Thank you for leaving the house in such good condition! It's refreshing to come in after a guest leaves to find everything just as we left it. We would be delighted to host you and your family anytime, and hope you choose our home for your next getaway!
Sincerely,
James Cook
Absolutely excellent property! Excellent white perch and catfishing from the dock, and also excellent bass fishing lake. Pool table in the game room was an excellent source of entertainment also. Already planning our next trip back!
It was my daughter’s 17th bday. We rented the cabin for some friends and family to come celebrate. It was so much fun! This cabin is perfect. Clean …. Has everything you need …. Lots of room & lots of beds. We will definitely be back!!

Thank you do much for your kind review. Please celebrate back and visit our place again.
James' home was a very pleasant surprise. The home is spacious, clean and nicely decorated. His home is at the end of the road and right on the lake. Offers tons of privacy. Spent each evening relaxing outside listening to nature.
The cabin was just as shown in the pictures of the listing. Everything needed was available on site to make our stay comfortable. We enjoyed the use of the boat house, making it convenient to go out fishing easily and also did some fishing from the dock. We were able to unplug and getaway in this peaceful retreat.
Our only regret was the weather didn’t cooperate which ended our trip early but the property owners were great to work with during our unexpected departure.
We were celebrating our daughter graduating from High School. We had an absolute blast. The property was very nice & secluded. We loved all the rooms but essentially the game room we called it. The views were absolutely beautiful. I don't think we could have found a better spot! Thanks for making our stay beyond what we thought. Keep up the great work out there & we will definitely be seeing it again!

About the host
Hosted by James Cook
My wife and I live on the north side of Monroe, less than 1 hour away. The homes are lovely, but very close to your neighbors. We fell in love with our vacation home the moment we saw it, and were amazed by the sounds of nature instead versus a suburban area. We love being on the water boating, fishing, or swimming with family and friends. We also enjoy 4 wheeler riding and nature hikes with our 4 grandchildren. They especially enjoy our firepit where they can roast marshmallows and make smores. We have made so many wonderful memories with them catching their first fish, chasing fireflies, or observing the occasional raccoon, opossum, squirrel, rabbit, or deer. We love being new host, and hope you and your family enjoy it as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
Growing up, my parents had a camp on Lake Darbonne, and my grandparents owned a camp on Lake Claiborne, and on Grand Isle. These places are where my greatest childhood memories come from. I have been searching for a place for my family to enjoy on the water and when I first came here, the peacefulness, privacy, and wide-open spaces were so comforting, that I knew my search was over. I hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.
What makes this property unique
The house. It is big, at 2300 sq feet, plenty of room for everyone, as well as comfortable and cozy. Our game room features a pool table, dartboard, and board games for some friendly competition, and lots of laughs. The windows there provide a spectacular view of the lake. God paints a beautiful new picture every day. The sunsets reflecting on the water are breath taking. We have a pair of eagles that often visit a tree near the dock. And we sometimes see flocks of ducks, even white pelicans! Woodpecker, hummingbirds, heron or an occasional owl are not uncommon sights. Our grandchildren were delighted to see the turtles coming from the woods to dig holes in the hot sand to lay their eggs. And, later, smiling to see the empty eggshells. We feel we discovered the perfect place for our whole family to have an occasional get-a-way. We have a fully stocked kitchen for preparing family meals, and an outside screened area with a very large double grill, refrigerator and double sinks for cleaning the many fish we catch from the dock.
