Went for a weekend getaway to relax and spend time with friends. The accomodations were incredible and had everything we needed. Would definitely visit again or recommend to anyone going to the area. Eric was very responsive to all of our questions and provided excellent local recommendations.

Natchitoches Surprise
The town is adorable, many restaurants, shops, and things to do. Perfect for a weekend getaway. Next time we will stay in town, but this property was nice and we felt right at home.

Lake View
The space was amazing—clean, quiet and peaceful. Tucked away from the main road, but not too far. A few miles from Natchitoches, but not a straight shot. Definitely would make a day trip there as opposed to a night trip. Great communication from host! If you want to “unplug” and enjoy peace and quiet, this is the place.

A lovely place, nestled under beautiful spanish moss filled trees. Very peaceful and quiet. It is a good 20 minute drive from town and hidden back off the main road. I’m glad we arrived before dark so we could familiarize ourselves with our surroundings. The Lakeview Inn restaurant was a good place to eat and conveniently located less than a 1/4 mile from the house. The host was very responsive.

Great stay on beautiful property
This was one of my favorite stays in Louisiana - the house was so roomy and comfortable. Had everything and was decorated so beautifully for the Christmas holidays! The property was just lovely with a gorgeous view of the Cypress trees in the lake out back. Can't wait to come back!

Beautiful county setting But
The house is clean and has most things needed for a comfortable stay. Except for ice and large coffee mugs. But it feels like the owner still lives there. Personal pictures everywhere, clothes in the closets, food in the frig and freezer. And prescription meds in the kitchen cabinets. The house is located in a very remote area and was probably not the best location for 2 70 + single ladies. And there is no WIFI, and cell service was very limited.

Sweet property and beautiful location
Eric was a responsive host, helping us in locating the property and replying quickly to our questions. The house was very clean and decorated for the season. We appreciated especially the kind note from the owner and recommendation for the nearby restaurant.

Peaceful house on Black Lake
The house was very comfortable and well decorated. It had everything we needed. Eric even supplied a new blender when we said we needed one. The view was wonderful. I understood there was a king size bed in the master bedroom. It seemed to be a queen. The page on the VRBO was no longer available to verify the bed size. Overall it was a very nice and peaceful property. It was farther away from Natchitoches than expected and was a very hard drive into the city over old roads.
