Great time!!

The house was perfect for my whole family. We had 10 of us in the house and it had everything we needed. The view over the water was amazing. Great fishing off of the docks. The only bad part was the tubs and showers were really dirty.

Great vacation rental

The house was very accommodating for our large family. The kitchen was well equipped with everything needed for meals. We really enjoyed the boat house for entertaining and playing pool. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and the neighbors are very friendly! I would definitely recommend this property.

Amazing place!

I cannot say enough good things about this home! I am so happy we found this! The home was very spacious and fit our family perfectly. We loved having the separate area downstairs and the wrap around porch was great. We also loved having the game room to hangout in when we didn't want to be in the house anymore. Being on the water was a great touch too. Thank you for opening your home up to us. We can't wait to visit again!

Beautiful Views, Great Home

The house is roomy and comfortable. The beds are nice, and there is a great setup for entertaining and cooking. I would return here in a heartbeat... The sunrise and sunsets here were awesome. Our group LOVED the house. The only negative was not having access to a boat. One of the major reasons I rented the place was to enjoy the water and take a boat out. I did not see that a boat was not included in the rental before getting the rental agreement. That was a big bummer for all of us. Other than that, it was a perfect place to enjoy a long weekend.

The McCoys are great hosts. They checked on us multiple times during our stay. The River Retreat was more than we could have hoped for. The home and views from the boat house are amazing. If you're looking for a nice quiet place, look no further.

About the host

Hosted by Teri MCCoy

Host profile image
Hi! We are the McCoy family. We have four children and 6 grandchildren! We are living proof that fun can be had for all ages at a Tickfaw River Rental!

Our Family Story: We bought our first boat approximately 25 years ago, and have enjoyed every moment! For 20 years, we rented a camp on the Tickfaw River with many family members. These vacations have been fun for every person involved. Throughout the years we have had elderly and babies join us for the fun!

After 10 years of renting a camp, we decided to invest in our own camp and call it the Reel McCoy River Retreat. The location is close enough to New Orleans or Baton Rouge, so you can invite people to visit for the day! Relax & enjoy your time away from the city. This camp really has the best view of the river! You can ski right in front of the camp! You can bring inflatables and relax in the water! You can sit in the game room or the hot tub & look out on the wonderful river view. Head up to the lighthouse and watch the sun set on the horizon! Nothing beats relaxing & watching the sunset on the Tickfaw River.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this "River House" since it is on the Tickfaw River and has the BEST VIEWS of the River!!

What makes this property unique

Whether you enjoy adventure or relaxation, this vacation spot is for you! You can kneeboard, wakeboard, jet ski, etc. All right in front of the camp. Or you can watch the activity from the deck on the water. Our entire family has had a blast on the Tickfaw River for the past 10 years & I'm sure your family will too!
