House was great! Just as advertised! Clean and comfortable. Well-furnished - plenty of towels, pillows, sheets, coffee filters, soap, etc. Glade River was great - had it all to ourselves almost on Friday. Mitch was very nice and let us check in and out anytime on day of arrival and departure. Thanks Mitch! New Roads is the best!

I was in charge of finding a place for five 50 friends and this home was the perfect place! So convenient, clean and relaxing, with everything needed for a perfect escape. I asked the group to find something that could be better, but we couldn’t come up with anything! We highly recommend and hope to return on our next escape!

Great spot!

Place was perfect for our family getaway. I didn’t realize there wasn’t an entrance that didn’t involve stairs but I probably missed it somewhere in the listing- so just a heads up. Space was clean with some spiderwebs outside (they’ve been bad this year though so no fault to the property!). The kitchen and bathrooms were very well stocked and supplied! Also, the place is right next to one of the boat rentals so the guy just dropped it off at the dock for us! Overall, great experience and would stay there again!
On the balcony! Great views with comfy seats

Response from VrboOwner on 11 July 2025
Hi Amber, Thanks soooo much for the positive review. The spiders webs are unfortunately a river wide issue and are a minor nuisance. But thanks for you understanding! Also, sorry for the restricted access by stairs only. It is listed on the VRBO page. Perhaps, I can make it bold or stand out more. Once again, thanks for the positive review and also you understanding on the minor inconveniences. You and your guests were wonderful as well to deal with and hope to see you again, soon! Mitch

I was so happy with this property!

My husband was born and raised in New Roads, LA. For the past 20+ years I've been visiting, we always stay with my mother-in-law. Due to the holidays, there were too many out of town guests to fit at her house, so we took the opportunity to stay on the river for the very first time. My goal was to find a place comfortable enough for our immediate family (with a 16 yr old and 3 yr old) and for hosting a couple meals for the out of town family. Holidays and family are hectic so a peaceful location to enjoy the serene water would be the icing on the cake! This rental did not disappoint! There's a super comfy chair in a window overlooking the pier and water where I was able to steal 30 minutes in the morning just to enjoy the peace. The house was spotless and thoroughly stocked like an actual home! I was able to cook full meals and host a jambalaya dinner for the family. I tend to find that the kitchens in VRBOs lack enough paraphernalia to comfortably cook large meals. They even had dishware for toddlers and a high chair that I never travel with! It truly felt like a home away from home. Thank you for such a great stay!

Fabulous stay on False River

I absolutely loved this place! We felt comfortable there. Everything you could possibly need was provided. Endless hot water is a super plus with 3 ladies and 2 teen boys... lol! Towels are super fluffy, beds are comfortable, dock was nice, and you can see the sunrise and the sunset from the upper deck. I think what I appreciated most, however, was the owner checking on us to make sure all was good. We will definitely stay here again!
