Holiday rentals with a kayak in Louisiana

Beautiful and comfortable home. Great kitchen and well stocked. The grill was a hit allowing us to grill burgers/sausage for family. Plenty of towels, garbage bags, toilet paper, paper towels just to name a few items to make our stay perfect. The coffee bar and waffle set up was fantastic. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely return.

Our weekend at A Frame of Mind in Toledo Bend was truly special. From the moment we walked in, we felt cared for. The A-frame was spotless, beautifully decorated, and smelled wonderful. Jade was such a kind and thoughtful host—she reached out with helpful info, including fishing guides and fun spots for the kids. We loved the screened-in porch with its cozy swing and big TV. The backyard was magical—grilling steaks, sitting by the fire, and enjoying the sweet s’mores kit Jade left for us. The cornhole setup under the lights was so much fun, and the mural behind it made for beautiful family photos. We fished for crappie and sun perch right off the back. One of my favorite moments was kayaking through the still water under pecan and pine trees into Toledo Bend—spotting squirrels, bluebirds, woodpeckers, turtles, and even a raccoon across the waterway. Peaceful, quiet, and full of wonder. We can’t wait to return ❤️

Our family enjoyed a wonderful stay at the Fat Cat. The water views are expansive. Lots of different seating areas to spread out both inside and out. The kayaks, life vests, and the floating pad were great to have, and the kids loved using them and floating in the water. We did not have much success fishing.. but that's how fishing goes. The beds were all very comfortable, the linens clean, and lots of pillow options.

Great place to stay! The host’s stay in the other side of the duplex, so they’re on hand to take care of anything. The pool is amazing after walking around the French Quarter all afternoon!

We had a great stay! Beautiful lake view out the back, and very relaxing atmosphere. Several fun things to do on the property. We enjoyed our time at Alana’s!

Really cool fish cabin on a beautiful lake. Understand this is a fish cabin (i.e. "camp house") and not the Taj Mahal. David's place is accurately described and photographed. The bed was comfortable and the cabin was clean. As I was sitting on the porch in the early morning drinking coffee, a bird hopped on my leg and visited for a moment! Would definitely stay again if the opportunity presents itself!

Wonderful stay for our large family vacation! Host is responsive, helpful, and kind. Location is peaceful and relaxing. All games, amenities, and supplies included as described. Would stay again, any time of year!

Tim’s place provided excellent accommodations for our family trip. As is customary with Louisiana weather, the screened porch let us enjoy the outdoors while being protected from the rain storms. We will be returning next year.

Great place to stay for us and our big dog. Did a lot of walking and exploring, looking for wildlife. did a lot of birding - it was awesome. there's a marsh behind the house and a bayou across the road in front. saw some gators and beavers paddling around. we also visited the state park just down the road. nice boardwalk and of course more birding and beavers. Did not get to see black bears. Maybe next time. Had everything we needed. got to watch a storm roll in over the bay. Really enjoyed our stay. Will happily return and highly recommend.

What a beautiful little getaway spot! We had family coming in from out of town and didn’t have enough room at our home to host everyone. Nicky provided the perfect lodgings for our out of state guests to experience a quaint trip to the country. Thanks again!

This place was perfect for what we went for. My husbands birthday was yesterday so we went this past weekend Friday-Sunday. We had quite a few people and it fit all of us and had everything we needed! Had zero problems over all. We loved the kayaks. My husband and I stayed in the master bedroom. We slept great! 10/10 would recommend!!

Our stay at the Bayou Boeuf house was Amazing! The house was immaculate and extremely organized. Carolyn is an exceptional host! Her attention to detail throughout the house is incredible. She even thought ahead to bring in a baby bed for my grandson, which was greatly appreciated. The backyard is beautiful, and we enjoyed peaceful mornings on the back patio drinking our coffee. We had a delicious dinner at Trudy’s one night and walked to Zam’s for a swamp tour one afternoon all of which were recommended on her page. My family loved this beautiful house and felt right at home. This home definitely exceeded our expectations!

This beautiful home was a perfect place for our family to have a get away weekend for Mother’s Day. 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms provided perfect sleeping quarters for our large family. And the GARDENS!! Unbelievably awesome! We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen and by the pool. Plenty of spaces to visit and play games! Quality time spent this weekend!

I'm so glad I chose to stay here. It's such a peaceful place to stay and hands down one of the best Airbnb's I've been to. Stayed with my 4 year old and 6 month old. Got good use out of the crib, and my 4 year old slept on the oversized chair + ottoman in the bedroom quite well. Was basically the same size as a toddler bed! The property is beautiful and spotless. The beds were incredibly comfy. Without hesitation I would 100% stay again!

I had the privilege of staying at Lil Bayou Living this weekend and I must say that this place is a true haven of comfort and warmth. We were so inspired by the serene atmosphere that we didn't want to leave. You can tell that the hosts have poured their hearts and souls into every little detail, carefully crafting an experience that exceeds all expectations. The house was immaculately clean and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Thoughtfully provided toys kept the children delightfully entertained. And the crowning glory is the breathtaking view of the water. We spent precious moments on the dock, where my 4-year-old granddaughter caught fish and reveled in the joy of discovery. If you're seeking a peaceful retreat, a fishing paradise, and a haven of tranquility with stunning water views, look no further than this incredible gem. Thank you Joe and Rebecca for being great hosts.

I am a hardworking mother, I love water, and I love to fish. This was the perfect place to just get away from it all. Jesse was very nice, his responses were prompt, and his space was amazing!

Our favorite lake house, by far. Spacious enough for 8 adults with 3 boats, with plenty of options to enjoy the beautiful lake whether from the balcony, concreted grond level, pier/ boat dock, kayaks or float pad, we took it all in! Thank you Megan, you are an excellent host!

My family and I had a wonderful stay! The 2nd night there a huge storm hit and we lost electricity. Within an hour they had the generator up and running for us! I just hope every Airbnb I ever stay in has such wonderful hosts! The house fit our huge family perfectly. They even had toys for the infant grandbabies so we didn’t have to pack as much. The kitchen was beyond fully stocked for a great vacay. And T he views were AMAZING!!!

We just moved to the area and this place was perfect with the on site clean storage! Very peaceful and private setting to relax and enjoy the outdoors. At night, put the phone away and listen to the frog and owl sounds, they are a joy to listen to. Thanks for making our extended stay so memorable!

Absolutely loved this oasis. The river is so much fun for both dogs and people to swim and kayak. Can't wait to go back!

The house and location were perfect for us. We were in town for a graduation at LSMSA. We were 15 minutes from the school. There were 8 of us and a baby with 2 dogs. There was plenty of room for everyone and we enjoyed the dock and both porches. It was very relaxing between all of the activities. I would recommend staying here.

This is a truly unique property with a river on one side and a fishing pond on the other. It looks just like the pictures which is not always the case with some rentals. The hosts are very flexible and friendly. I would recommend it to other guests. Thanks!

Loved this place so much!!! The screened porch on the bayou was EVERYTHING!! :) it’s so peaceful and gorgeous!!!! Love love loved it :)

The place was very spacious, and Beth was a wonderful host! When we had an issue with the AC, she was super responsive and offered a solution right away. The location is convenient, with grocery stores nearby, and the lake view was a lovely bonus. Highly recommend!
