Overall this was a great property and my family really enjoyed themselves. The location was great. The only thing I want to mention is that the inside of the unit was warmer than our liking. Other than that it was great!

The fish camp was perfect for our 53rd wedding anniversary. We love to fish, crab and net shrimp. We got to do all three and cooked crabs twice once with shrimp also and had a trout fish fry. The house was very comfortable and well equipped for cooking. Our host was very prompt replying to messages and very helpful suggesting dining options. Although we only ate out once because we caught our meals. We had a wonderful time.
17” speckled trout caught off the pier.

Weekend getaway

Amazing property to stay at. The owner was very responsive to any questions that I had from the time I booked and through the stay. Property was just as described and well furnished with dishes, games, cookware. We had a blast on the community dock that is literally out the back door of the property and caught some fish, shrimp, and crabs.

Big Lake VRBO

Great property and excellent hosts. The Big Lake area is a convenient place for me to meet up with family and fish. We are a small group, but this property could accommodate a much larger group with plenty of common area to socialize

This place was perfect for our group of 5 long time friends. We decided to explore the Lake Charles area. Communication with the owners was smooth, and they responded quickly and with complete answers & suggestions. Check in and check out processes were simple and easy. The location was about 30 minutes from downtown, but totally worth it for the amazing sunsets. The only possible drawback (which was out of anyone's control) was the swing bridge which caught us just a couple of times. Big barges are not fast. The house was on the east side of Lake Calcasieu. The neighborhood was quiet and everyone we met was friendly and helpful.The house was set up comfortably and had all we needed. Good kitchen layout with a table. We all cook and never got in each other's way. It had everything we needed. Had a great sitting area adjacent. Patio outside was just the right place to sit, have a glass of wine and watch the sunsets.I asked the owner for some local restaurant and shopping suggestions. Every suggestion was right on point! We actually think they should write for "Visit Lake Charles". Some favorites: Crave (olive oils, gourmet gifts), restaurants- Crying Eagle in Lakeshore, Luna, Darrell's for PoBoys, Steamboat Bills. Our group was all women who were not there to fish, so I don't have any info on that. There were cards for a fishing guide and I'm sure the owner could supply tips.We all would highly recommend staying here!

Cozy Fishing House

The house was very well stocked and the listing was extremely accurate. The house was within a short walk of the boat launch and right by a really nice fishing pier. I loved how the house was decorated and the owners were extremely kind and responsive.
