The view of the lake was beautiful! The rooms were so comfortable and the kitchen was great! The whole place was so nice and there was a peacefulness that we really appreciated for our first family gathering in several years. We prepared all of our meals there and just enjoyed being together in such a beautiful place. The owner is so easy to work with and we hope to go back again in the near future.

House was beautiful and roomy. Kids loved games. Found a broken chair in master and patio door would not open. Kitchen was extremely well stocked to cook or bake anything. Some items were dirty, but that falls on whomever used them last. Disappointed that dock/stair lights did not work all week. Hard to park the boat in the dark. Could hardly believe we had to pay extra for the sheets. Overall a good trip.

Beautiful Vacation Home on Leesville Lake
Spacious lake front home in a secluded wooded location on quiet cove on Leesville Lake. Our family group of 12 adults and teens had plenty of room for sleeping, dining, relaxing on the large deck and enjoying the impressive game room. Kitchen area was well stocked of everything needed for preparing meals. Everyone loved using the kayaks and dock area for sunbathing, swimming and fishing. Pontoon boat rentals are close by in local marina and great for exploring the large lake. With our entire week in 90 deg temps, the house AC worked great and dock area was shaded and comfortable with the cool lake breeze. The owner Dustin and assistant Tab were very responsive and helpful with our questions! Would definitely recommend this home for a memorable vacation.

Beautiful home, great location. Amenities lacking
This home is beautiful and the location is perfect. It does seem like furnishing / equipping it was an afterthought. Many things were broken or didn’t work. Furnishings were slim and we had to move tables around to create nightstands. House sleeps 16 and table seats 4. There are no casserole dishes, serving bowls etc for a large party.
3 bedrooms were mislabeled and guests ended up sleeping on the floor. Host didn’t seem to care and was very slow to reply.
If you stay here, plan ahead. And rent a boat! It made our week!

Lovely house. Plenty of space for everyone the “kids”in the family loved the games room in the basement. Some areas inside could have been cleaner. Crumbs on a recliner. Many light bulbs were not working. The 2 ovens were extremely dirty and many of the pots, pans and baking trays need to be replaced. The outside could do with some cleanup work.

Great Place To Relax
We loved our stay here!! We spent the week with extended family and never ran out of things to do. The lake was a perfect temperature to swim and we had so much fun with the provided kayaks and paddle boat. We also loved the downstairs game room…big hit with the kids!! The cabin was very clean and well appointed with most anything you would need.
We also had a great experience renting a pontoon boat from the marina that’s close by and had a blast using that during the week.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and all the house had to offer. Leesville lake is just the spot for a quiet fun filled family vacation. The kids loved jumping off the dock and kayaking. The gameroom was enjoyed by adults and kids! The only thing I would suggest is a larger dining table for those of us that maximize the space!
