A place of peace and calm. The house is wonderfully decorated, very comfortable beds. The bedrooms are on opposite ends of the home with it's own private bathroom. House is located near the Black Lake which is gorgeous to view and easy to bank fish. We had a wonderful stay.Quick communication response with the owner.

Stayed in quite a few nice homes. This one was the absolute best!! Beautiful, comfortable and very neat and clean. Reasonably close to all the shops and restaurants in Natchitoches, and was exactly what we were looking for in a peaceful long weekend getaway. Hope to do it again in the not so distant future!!
Beautiful view of the end of the Lake.

A Great Spot on the Lake

While the reason for our visit was not the happiest--a funeral--it was wonderful to be able to stay right on the lake where we had built such great memories over the past 45 years or so. The place was in excellent shape, well maintained, and had a great view of the lake.

Great stay on beautiful property

This was one of my favorite stays in Louisiana - the house was so roomy and comfortable. Had everything and was decorated so beautifully for the Christmas holidays! The property was just lovely with a gorgeous view of the Cypress trees in the lake out back. Can't wait to come back!

This home was more than I expected from the pictures. It was very clean, decorated too cute and stocked with anything we might have needed. The host was patient with me when I had questions (not because he didn't provide information, but because I didn't read what he gave me). You may be a little drive from downtown Nak-a-tish, but worth it. It was peaceful and quiet. Plan to bring my "Steel Magnolia" girlfriends to stay here.
