About this property

Roughin it on the River

As the name implies, this is a tiny, utilitarian camp on False River. Just the essentials for a great stay on a beautiful lake. There is a lean in the living room, originally a porch. 1 queen and 1 bunk leave little room in the bedrooms and the roomiest part of the bath is inside the 3X3 shower. Its window units for AC and the surrounding camps have mixed levels of maintenance. Nice back porch for watching beautiful sunsets, small simple pier for fishing, 200 ft from Bueche's Bar and Grill.

Ok but only small enough for a couples weekend

Only enough space for one vehicle and no room for a boat trailer.

Great location and great little place.

I live nearby and rented the property for a hang out during the day as we have a boat. My family came from out of town with their barge. I should have checked with the owner regarding the stability of the dock. It was unstable therefore we anchored our watercrafts away from the dock.

Joli intermède près de Bâton-Rouge

Jolie cabine, bien équipée. Le top : sa grande terrasse avec vue sur False River et son ponton privatif, un barbecue. Nous avons aimé nous y baigner (un adulte n’a pas pied et l’eau est chargée de limon mais comme sur les plages de Louisiane). Excellente base pour visiter Natchez, Bâton-Rouge, les plantations,… L’environnement est très calme, juste quelques passages de bateau toujours à bonne distance (présence d’un balisage). Seul bémol pas de climatisation dans la seconde chambre. Nous y étions pendant la canicule avec la météo exceptionnelle du dôme de chaleur… Et après une journée bien remplie la cabine dispose de Netflix.

A MUST experience hidden gem

Even with the lake being unexpectedly closed due to some tragic circumstances, our trip to this cozy little cabin made all the difference not being able to get out on the water. We had all the amenities! Enough parking for a boat and truck, a place to dock the boat and an electric bbq grill. Even two fishing poles AND tackle which replaced our boating plans in the best way. We enjoyed the bountiful fishing trip we had on the private dock while retreating the heat into the clean and very updated cabin. We were referred by Joe to try out Bueche’s bar and grill which was just a 1 min walk away yet just far enough to not hear the noise. FYI It’s pronounced “Bushes” not “Boucher” like the Waterboy Boucher…. Lol! This place is 5 stars and we will definitely be back!

Great Christmas Getaway!

My daughter and I wanted a short getaway to do some sightseeing and shopping. We chose this cabin on the False River and were not disappointed! While it was just a humble home on the exterior it had plenty of amenities to make up for that. It was directly on the river with a walkway to the edge and a pier leading out onto the river. Two rod and reels and assorted tackle were in the house for our use. Inside the house was very cute with an adorable tiny fridge and stove. A comfy couch and comfortable bed were enjoyed. A fresh paint job was bright and cheery. The cabin was incredibly clean. A porch wrapped around two sides with a table and chairs on the back. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots and pans and utensils. A keurig-type coffee pot with lots of choices of coffee pods was a delight. A tv with Amazon, Disney, Hulu etc and good internet service was enjoyed. And St. Francisville did not disappoint us as we shopped and ate delicious food! I would definitely stay here again. M J

Perfect quite getaway

We stayed here because my boyfriend doesn’t like being in the city. It was perfect!! The ONLY complaint was the small hot water heater, one cold shower for one of us. But that didn’t last long 😉! Wonderful place, enjoyed the River!

Cute place for a small family. The pier needs to be fixed a little as well as the latter.
