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.
Nice place! Decor is precious and has all the amenities. Loved being over the water. The outdoor deck needs some work and the owner stated that he is in the process of getting it renovated. Would stay definitely stay again!

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).
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.
Wonderful place to stay on False River. I had a wonderful time on the lake with family very relaxing. They were very accommodating very clean and nice place. Wonderful place to sit out and drink your coffee in peace.
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.
This property is literally sitting out over the water- just as you see in the photo. Everything was there for a welcoming stay-some snacks and cold drinks; detergent for the washer; paper towel. Great suggestions for dinner. There is a Walmart nearby (we needed a couple things for meals). Big tv's. Just watch your head upstairs if you are tall because the ceiling slants down over the beds. Highly recommend
Wonderful stay on beautiful false river. The accommodations were perfect. A lot of thought went into the small details.
Keith was the perfect host. We had many questions, and he was quick to answer them all. I would definitely love to return to Oscar again in the future.
