Oct 7, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Not up to par. The glass on most of the windows were ruined therefore you could not see out the windows to enjoy the view. There is never water for the hot water heater to take showers or run the dishwasher. The refrigerator froze all the groceries we bought. No screens on the doors of the windows so the house was flooded but then sucks every time you went into her out the door. The river or the bayou in front of the cabin was covered in green plants and mud, making it impossible to enjoy the water toys. The swamps full of reptiles and things that would get you. The front patio out of the three houses was the only one with old Mossey splintery wood decks and extremely uneven patio pavers that you trip and kill your cell phone . The patio furniture and table was full of webs and spiders and mold and leaves very unappealing. The pots and pans look like they came from a good year 10 years ago with most of the Teflon missing on the pounds, toaster didn’t work. In general and inferior kitchen . And when you woke up in the morning there had to be 2000 bugs from the lamps on in the house. Now this might appeal to some people so don’t get me wrong it could be just the right thing for you. But it made my stay with my family miserable for me because they didn’t like me complaining about the condition of the property and they made apologies to the caretakers on my behalf which I didn’t appreciate .. I should’ve just turned around and run. ##### Deborah E. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dawn N.

The cabin was ADORABLE, and cozy, the kids were comfortable and we all slept good. The surroundings were AMAZING, It’s something out of a fairy tale, for me any way. The kayaks were so fun! We saw some big fish, but no gators, we took out 2 year old out with us with no issues, If you are contemplating on going out on the water, I can tell you, just do it!! It’s so worth it. We are booking again very soon!! It will be our go to place when we come to the Shreveport area!! Easy check in and the owner is very sweet. I highly recommend ##### Laura P.

We stay in Shreveport multiple times per year and we decided to look for a house rental to spend quality time with family this time. The house was perfect! We all kayaked, sat around the fire, watched movies, made food and made amazing memories. The house was beautiful, clean and cozy. Jennifer was an amazing host!

The cottage is adorable and has all the amenities. The lake and the cypress trees made for beautiful scenery. ##### Jill S. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley W.

It was super clean, very relaxing, and in a scenic and peaceful surrounding. Quick and easy communication with host. We did have neighbors, people and pets but everyone was friendly and looking for a relaxing weekend as well. ##### Ashley W. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aaron B.

The place we stayed in was a lot of fun and the location on the lake couldn’t have been better. Kids enjoyed the kayaks and swimming in the lake. It is always a chance when booking a new place, but this was a great place to stay. Will stay much longer next time! ##### Aaron B. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### David C. Aug 11, 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Not what we expected! This place was a very big disappointment. The AC main unit did not cool the place down at all. The property was not clean at all. There are cats on the property that got on our vehicle at night and them just being there drove or dog nuts. ##### David C.

Beautifully appointed, well equipped, everything comfortable, and the owner was very easy to reach and helpful with any questions. Best thing was the location and charm of the Cypress swamp. Loved our kayak paddle through the swamp, enchanting and "scary fun" at the same time. Also watched another guest catch a fish right off the bank! This will definitely be a return spot for us! ##### Patricia W. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Connie F.
