We really enjoyed our stay. The owners John and Karen were great during our stay. The property sets on a bayou that offers great scenery and really good fishing. It’s in a great area that feels remote while nestled in the town of Madisonville. We had ages from 17-49 and everyone enjoyed the stay. The house was clean and comfortable. We will definitely be going back when we are in the area.

Granddaughter Graduation

Family of 7 came for high school graduation. The cottage was very nice and the hosts were excellent. Beautiful property. We were pretty busy but we did make some time for just a little fishing. The kitchen had anything we needed. We would definitely come back.
