About this property
Parkside Perch on Lake D'Arbonne
Enjoy an expansive view of the lake while perched above the waters of Lake D'Arbonne, just a stone's throw from the state park! With a large screened-in porch, multiple outdoor sitting areas, two-slip boathouse (with deck and fish-cleaning station), gas grill (propane tank), and wood-burning fireplace, this property has everything you need for an enjoyable retreat. There is a community boat ramp at the end of the road, making it the perfect destination for boaters and fishermen.
The house itself has two units (with separate entrances). The upstairs unit has 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, with a large kitchen and living area. The downstairs unit has a small kitchen, bath, and a large living/sleeping area complete with a futon (full-size bed) and 3 twin beds. Both units have a television and DVD player. A backup generator services both upstairs and down, so you will never be without power! A tankless water heater ensures there is enough hot water for everyone. This spot is for people who want to get away from it all. There is no cable, but local broadcast channels are available via an antenna, as well as Roku streaming. Wifi (2G/5G) is available via HughesNet satellite internet which can sometimes be slow. A hotspot is recommended if fast internet service is crucial. Check-in time is 4 PM, and check-out time is 11 AM.
NOTE: The larger upstairs unit is only accessible via some stairs, possibly not accommodating for those with severe mobility issues.
Leave all your cares behind and relax!
We love this home and visit often, so please take care of it. If you can leave it like you found it, we'd appreciate that!
NOTE: There are 6 beds: 2 queens upstairs, 3 twins downstairs, and 1 full-size futon (250lb max weight) downstairs.

About the host
Hosted by John Dissinger
Why they chose this property
This home is larger than a lot of the lake houses on lake D'Arbonne. There are several decks to enjoy the view and a screened in porch to keep the bugs away, but that doesn't mean that no bugs are present...there are ALWAYS bugs in Louisiana.
This property is not wheel char accessible due to stairs. But we installed a generator so that you never have to worry about losing power (which often happens with all the trees in the area).
Parkside drive is not a paved road, however, the distance you have to travel is pretty short. We did pave the driveway for your convenience. There is a motion detector light at the corner of the house to provide lighting if you arrive after dark.

What makes this property unique
The boat house has two slips, one can fit a large boat, the other is smaller, more of a jon boat size slip. You can fish off the boat house, but the lake is fairly shallow there. There is a boat launch at the end of the road (just past the last house, which is next door), or you can use the state park ramps if you prefer, which is also super close.
