We rented this property for a weekend film shoot, and every step of sorting out and utilising the space was impeccable.

Beautiful, quiet location.

We throughly enjoyed our stay at this cottage. The property has beautiful live oaks and plenty of wildlife to watch while sitting on the porch. The house had everything we needed, with a Keurig, washer and dryer being the most important amenities for our family. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds that I have ever slept on. It is a very easy and rather short drive from Lake Charles. We had never stayed on the eastern side of the lake but we enjoyed exploring the area and finding new places to go crabbing that weren’t crowded. Angela was very quick to respond with any questions. I will definitely keep this cottage on my list of places to stay in the future.

Clean and cozy are words that capture this sweet little cottage! The indoor fireplace made for warm snuggles on the couch. The outdoor fireplace was the perfect setting for relaxing and chatting. Thank you for a great experience that provided exactly what we needed for our time at Lake Charles. Happy New Year!
