If your stay will exceed (12) people, DO NOT book this Lake House. This includes you, your guests, and visitors. Drake on the Lake - Relaxing Family Couples Getaway Camp - Fire Pit & Private Gazebo Drake on the Lake is perfect for couples, groups, or family getaways! This lakehouse is set up for rest, relaxation, and group accommodations. There is a 10% discount for (7) seven or more night rentals. LOCATION The Lake House Camp is located on the quiet north end of False River and close to conveniences when needed. Minimum boat traffic near the lake house so your boat will not beat against the dock all day. You are only 7 minutes to New Roads, 23 minutes to St. Francisville, and 40 minutes to LSU Tiger Stadium. Local restaurants, fast food, grocery, pharmacy, hardware, and big box stores nearby in New Roads. LAKE WATER LEVELS We have no control over the water level of False River Lake, and the water around the gazebo dock can be shallow at times for swimming off the dock. Please seek knowledge of any local, parish or state government plans to alter the water level or a lake drawdown during your stay on-premises. No refunds will be made due to the water level. WHAT PEOPLE LOVE Enjoy boating, kayaking, fishing, bird watching, soaking up the sun, hanging out with friends on your private gazebo dock, screen porch, or sitting around the fire pit on a star-lit night. There are great restaurants/bars, historic mansion tours, many antique shops, and even ziplining in the area to enjoy. WHAT PEOPLE DISLIKE Bird poop on the dock, chairs, and tables. False River has an active waterfowl population. Our docks are cleaned weekly, but it is an endless battle for all lake houses to keep the docks and chairs poop-free. You can clean one day and can have bird poop the next day. We have provided a water hose and brush at the gazebo if any chairs need to be cleaned. We are sorry about the inconvenience. The reality is, that's lake life! PORCH Start your days with a cup of coffee on the screened porch watching the waterfowl landing before you, and end your day with a beverage in hand, watching the sunset. The oversized screened-in patio has seating for six and is a great place to sit, relax and enjoy the lake view!

It was full of spider webs and bird poop. I’d recommend that they check the deck before every rental. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kickback P. Sep 30, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quaint Louisiana Escape My family and I (7 in all ranging from 2 years to 83) stayed here for 2 weeks when we evacuated from hurricane Ida. The house itself is nicely redone and had ample space for all of us. The kitchen is decently equipped, and the screened-in porch is lovely for mornings, evenings, and afternoon lounge reading. The house is wired for surround sound, which we utilized frequently. The house has uplifted decorations in the living room, and the beds were very comfortable. The master bath was big and adequate, our only complaint was for a nice bathroom the shower is tiny (my husband is 6'3" and struggled not to hit the door open while showering). But having 3 bathrooms (2 full 1 half) was very nice for our larger group. While we were comfortable with 7, I imagine 12 would feel a bit tight, but if you are spending the days out on the lake, probably wouldn't be an issue and there is plenty of room inside and out to relax and have some space. The host accommodated meeting us to sign the paperwork since we were without power and had no way to scan and return which we appreciated. Having the dock right there was very nice, but a few things to note. This part of the false river is very shallow (3 feet or so), so swimming was not really a pleasant experience. Some friends of ours live down the river and it gets significantly deeper making for better swimming, also there is no fence along the back of the yard, this was only a problem for us who had a 2-year-old escape artist so we constantly had to make sure all the doors were locked as any chance he got he was headed towards the water. One house next door has a year-round resident who was very nice and welcoming, the other side seems to also be a vacation rental, but we had no issues at all with any of the 3 groups that came while we were there. The town across the river is a short 10-minute drive and has some good antique shops and a few very decent restaurants. Grocery store shopping was bleak, but we think this may be due to the storm and supply chain issues when we were there, we had the best luck going into Saint Francesville and going to the larger grocery stores for fresh fruit and vegetables- just a heads up you may want to shop before arriving. We enjoyed our stay at Drake on the Lake, it is a very relaxing spot, highlighted with modern amenities and we hope to return under more relaxing circumstances in the future. ##### Kickback P.

It was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. The owner was responsive and helpful. The views of the lake were great and we enjoyed the dock and the back yard area with the fire pit and the nice grill. The location was convenient to several restaurants and grocery stores. We enjoyed our week and hope to return. Thank you Dean! ##### Sharla F. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly F.

The kitchen was well equipped and the living areas were comfy and had plenty of seating for our group of eight long time friends. I would highly recommend “Drake on the Lake” to anyone wanting a getaway on the River! ##### Kelly F. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tia C.

The pier was able to accommodate our boat and the swing, furnishings and fans are great. Beautiful sunsets can be enjoyed from the fire pit and pier. The water depth at the pier didn’t allow the kids to jump off the pier but the kayak is there for anyone to use and was nice to have. The driveway accommodates multiple cars. The owner is very accommodating and helpful and we would definitely return. ##### Madeline S.

The beauty of the place is definitely exactly as the pictures represent, but the time spent on the covered wharf on the swing watching and listening to the birds and ducks was so relaxing! Dean Simon is also THE BEST property manager I’ve ever dealt with; so professional, prompt and friendly with answers to all questions! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jamison R.
