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!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that your family had a perfect weekend getaway with us. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you all back again anytime!
We absolutely love this camp! This is our second stay in the last few months and we had another great trip. The host is one of a kind. Fishing and crabbing is good. Not too far away from everything but very peaceful. We are already talking about our next stay.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you had another great stay and enjoyed the peace, quiet, and good fishing. Having repeat guests like you is the absolute best compliment we could ask for. We can’t wait to welcome you back for trip number three!
This Lake House was awesome and the host was a pleasure to work with. Mrs. Marci answered all of our questions and made sure their home felt like a true weekend home for us. I was able to spend my 40th birthday there and we had a blast crabbing and fishing the entire weekend. We enjoyed the sunset as well which pictures just doesn’t do it justice. The host and house exceeded our expectations by a long shot and I will definitely be booking with them again in the future.

Thank you for the kind words. We can’t wait to welcome you and your family back!
I absolutely love this house and we'll definitely be back. It feels like visiting family. Great location, beautiful views, and the dock it perfect for long days. The house has lots of charm and is well stocked. We caught several speckled trout and reds. Can't wait until our next visit.

Thank you so much for the kind words! We are thrilled to hear you had an amazing stay and found the property to your liking. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back to Lake Charles anytime!
This was the perfect place for fishermen and family with grandkids and even dogs to come and enjoy time together. It was ideal to be close to marina to launch boat and keep boats tied on the pier. The pier fishing was great, we caught flounder, redfish, and sheep head. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything to cook with, and everything was so clean. Plenty of games to keep everyone busy. The view from back porch overlooking the water was absolutely beautiful with coffee in the morning and margaritas at night. We were there during the week so it felt like we had the place to ourselves. The stairs are steep for us 70 year olds but all the safety features are there and it was our exercise. We will definitely rent this place again. The host was available each time I messaged her, during the planning phase, after I booked it and when we arrived. I did not need to contact her at all during the stay because she had given good instructions. And ice machine was a definite plus.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The kiddos had a blast as well. The camp is in a wonderful location and is full of amenities. We would definitely love to stay again in the future.
The property was clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything you could need to cook. We loved the outdoor seating area and the dock. The fact that it is pet friendly was a huge bonus.
I've stayed at this place multiple times and it's never let me down! Always first class location and amenities... There is nothing better at Hebert's Landing.
This was our second stay, and once again, it did not disappoint! The house is in the perfect location for Lake Calcasieu, making it our go-to rental. It’s well-maintained, clean, and has everything we need for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great getaway. We’ll definitely be back!

Thank you Brian! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We can't wait to welcome you and your family back.
This property is really top notch. It is obvious that this is the owner’s private retreat and not a barebones property only for rentals. If you want to fish this area and have great accommodations, then this is a very solid choice.

Great property and location to the harbor. Peaceful area and beautiful sunsets. The camp was perfect for our family and our fishing adventures on the lake. The host was very helpful in changing dates and accommodating us on a few things. We really enjoyed our stay and the camp has everything you need to have a good time, cookout and relax. Thank yall.
