About this property

Family Ties, Lakefront Retreat on False River, Pier, Sleeps 10

Some places you visit. Family Ties is where your family arrives.

Welcome to Family Ties, a warm and thoughtfully designed waterfront home on beautiful False River — one of Louisiana's most beloved lake destinations. Whether you're three generations under one roof or a family finally carving out time together, this four-bedroom, three-bathroom home sleeping up to 10 was built for exactly this kind of trip.

THE WATER IS YOUR BACKYARD

Step outside and False River is right there. A private pier stretches over calm, glassy water — perfect for fishing off the edge, watching the sun go down, or just sitting quietly while the kids wear themselves out. The covered dock has a porch swing, Adirondack chairs, and string lights that make it everyone's favorite spot by the second night. A fire pit faces the water for evenings that tend to run longer than anyone planned.

PORCHES, PATIOS, AND ROOM TO BREATHE

The screened porch runs the full back of the house with both a dining table and a full sectional — all looking out over the water. The back patio has outdoor dining, a gas grill, and garden beds that give the whole space a settled, cared-for feel. There's always somewhere to find your people, and always somewhere to slip away quietly with your coffee.

A KITCHEN MADE FOR REAL MEALS TOGETHER

The fully equipped kitchen has everything needed to cook for a crowd — full-size appliances, gas range, ample counter space, and a dedicated coffee bar for slower mornings. The dining table seats the whole family, and the open layout means whoever's cooking is never left out of the conversation.

EVERYONE SLEEPS WELL

Primary suite — king bed, private en suite with soaking tub and double vanity
Guest bedroom — king bed, shared full bathroom
Guest bedroom — queen bed, private en suite
Bunk room — twin-over-twin and full-over-full bunks, ideal for the younger crowd

Three full bathrooms mean no one's waiting in line.

THE DETAILS THAT MATTER

False River is a natural oxbow lake — calm water, no current, and ideal for families with kids of any age on the water. Local restaurants, grocery stores, and boat launches are minutes away. A dedicated workspace with desk and chair is available for anyone who needs to sneak in a few hours of work. EV charging is available in the carport using an upgraded outlet — Level 1, bring your own cable.

SUMMER IS HERE

June and July dates are still available but moving. If your family has been talking about a lake trip, this is the one worth booking.

We are happy to answer any questions before you book. Family Ties is well cared for and we want your stay to be just as memorable as ours.

The property is exactly as pictured. It is a well-kept home with everything you need for a comfortable stay. If there was one complaint it would be the dock could use a little more regular cleaning. There were lots of cobwebs and bird droppings but we just swept it off and enjoyed the scenery.

This property was so AMAZING!!!! The location, the beautiful scenery, and the details of the house was exquisite! We went here so that my sister can heal from breast surgery, and we could relax, kick back and enjoy the river, along with fishing; and we got more than we paid for. It's definitely a must return destination. Thank you to the host who put a special touch by leaving flowers with a get well soon, balloon. That touched us more than any words could ever say.

Annual family trip

This property was perfect for our 4 household family. The kitchen is very well equipped with tons of counter space. The outdoor space was great and the pier is where we spent most of our time. It’s very nicely furnished and feels like home.
