About this property
Cozy home with great fishing from dock.Peaceful and Private with nature trails.
Enjoy the privacy and serenity of Louisiana's wilderness at its finest. Beautiful country setting on 5 wooded acres w/ direct access to Bayou Darbonne. Great fishing from the dock! Bring your boat and keep it on site in the boathouse. Watch the sunset over the lake from the large windows in the game room w/pool table, music, Roku tv & board games. Cozy living room w/ fireplace and a fully equipped kitchen featuring full sized appliances and Keurig coffee maker w/ assorted coffees. Everything needed to cook a family meal is provided. Dishtowels, potholders, and dish soap are supplied, along w/ paper towels, toilet paper, bar soap, shampoo, hair dryer, bath towels & wash cloths. Extra bed linens and blankets can be found in the closet. We have a full-size washer and dryer for your use. Laundry soap & dryer sheets are provided. There is a firepit area with wood, for relaxing outside. Screened area features a very large grill, double sinks for cleaning fish, and an outside fridge.After lots of Rain,the road maybe a little slick on the way out so make adjustments accordingly. Driveway is steep so use caution. Not for the faint at heart.Have had no problems though in over 2 years with guest not wanting to come down Driveway.

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.
