Waterfront The Red Camp at Lake Bistineau

The annual draw down of the lake has finished and the gates are closed. The lake is slowly filling up. Please inquire as to the water level.

Also, check our Shades of Blue house right next door if you need space for a larger group!

Beautiful/Relaxing Stay

We are obsessed with everything about this gem that is not far from our home! From the house to the house boat we loved everything about it. The view was amazing. We looked forward in waking up in the morning to drink a cup of coffee on the screen porch. Also, loved the fact Shreveport is not that far with a great selection of things to do. We will 100% be back!!!

80th Birthday

The two adjoining properties were perfect for our family gathering to celebrate an 80th birthday. Our group ranged from 9-82 years old and everyone had a great time and enjoyed the accommodations.

Short weekend getaway

We chose this place to stay for my cousins wedding. The owner was very responsive and comforting. She baked up home made cookies to start which were delicious. The house was smaller than we thought but was very quaint and homey. The one down side is the lack of curtains on all the windows, but it could also take away from all the natural light. All in all, we would 100% book this house again. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quick getaway with a very caring host.

Beautiful historic property, stunning location

Our family had an amazing visit, despite the weather, and made some great memories here. Mary provided everything we needed, and then some. Know that it is an old house, and that’s part of it’s charm, so there are some rustic, quirky elements to be expected. If you don’t mind that the bathroom is downstairs while the beds are upstairs, you’ll have a great time. If you happen to be a light sleeper, and have traveling companions who go to the bathroom during the night, you may want to have them sleep downstairs on the sofa sleeper or bring an air mattress, just to keep from making trips up and down, and potentially waking other sleepers. Otherwise, A++ Everything you could possibly need for a good, relaxing time on the lake, it’s all here!

Great Little Place

We loved this place! Great hidden gem. Our group loved the screened In porch and the fishing on the dock in the evening and night. Great place for us to hang out with our family. Mary was great at communicating and offering solutions. We had a power outage and Mary reached out immediately to make sure all was well. Property was clean and peaceful.

Ms. Mary is a Fabulous host! She thought of EVERYTHING!!! She was at the property to give us a walk through to explain the boat house, etc....and of course she left Her FABULOUS Chocolate Chip Cookies in the Fridge for us! When the weather unexpectedly got a little chilly, there was Ms. Mary with a heater! She works like a turk on the property to make everything nice and appealing. I HIGHLY recommend the Little Red Cottage! Thank you Ms. Mary for all you did to make us feel welcome and at home (away from home)!
