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.

Easter Weekend

We were there for a weekend gathering at Lake D’Arbonne and really enjoyed our time at the house. It was perfect for what we needed and the hosts were very responsive and helpful. Everything was just as advertised. The beds were super comfortable and it was just like being at home. The view was amazing and can’t wait to go back when we can spend more time!

Spring break fishing trip

Overall we had a good time. The dock was great, and very peaceful! The property managers were very easy to work with as well. We did have internet issues each day, which was a bit of a pain. It didn’t start working until about 10:00 a.m. once it started to warm up. The property is in a rural area, so I’m sure it is difficult to get reliable service. The cleanliness of the property could have been better as well.

Fantastic house…you won’t regret booking.

This house is super cozy with beautiful wood details that make it so welcoming. And the view…so worth it! It has a crazy comfy sectional with recliners that everyone enjoyed. The beds were comfortable, the downstairs “apartment” has plenty of room, and the patio with the gas grill is great. There’s a boat ramp just past the property, and boat house that you can store your boat in during the stay. There was also a fish cleaning station in the boat house, although we did not need to use it. It is close to the state park, so the property is great for fishermen who are staying in the area for tournaments. The owners were very attentive and easy to communicate with. And by the way, we apparently lost power during the night…but we never knew because the property has a fantastic generator. I will definitely re-book this property if we are in the area again.

Great property! Plenty of spaces to sit outside to enjoy the views of the lake. The house was well stocked with anything we could have needed. We were able to launch our boat close by and store in the boat house. The owner was very helpful and responsive. We will absolutely be booking this house again for our next lake weekend!

Needs a little cleaning

The first day the refrigerator went out Cathy andJohn were very sweet in trying to get it fixed. It started running the next day. The neighborhood was quiet. The house was roomy enough for our group. The house could have been cleaner. The floors weren’t mopped. The screen room wasn’t even swept very nasty. Didn’t leave a broom out so we could even clean ourselves. The outside patio furniture hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. The bathroom shower/tub wasn’t very clean lots of soap scum in master bathroom. The hallway bathroom the shower was definitely not cleaned. Around the bottom edge very nasty. Spiderweb behind the bathroom door. The toilet looked new but wasn’t bolted down rocked and wiggled when in use very apparent it was loose. The showers are very small. Had few lights that were in need of new bulbs. The dryer was disgusting had hair in the tub of the dryer along with dirt from previous renters took 4 Clorox wipes to clean before able to use. Very few washcloths for each bathroom. Beds upstairs were in bad need of replacement very uncomfortable. The kitchen pots and pans were also in bad need of cleaning most looked like black smut on them. We were charged a cleaning fee but it wasn’t clean when we arrived.

A Perfect Weekend Getaway

This house was perfect for our family to relax and unwind for the weekend. We were able to rest and relax, do some fishing and reading, and enjoy the beautiful views of Lake D'Arbonne. The owners were quick and efficient with communications, and the house was equipped with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. We would definitely recommend to anyone.

Nice Getaway for Fishing!

Found this place on line when planning a weekend fishing trip with friends. It did not disappoint! House was lovely, comfortable and well kept. Boat dock was nice and large to hold our boats as well as a covered area to sit and enjoy the scenic lake view. Good fishing area. Really enjoyed our time here.

Spring Fishing Trip

We visited lake D'Arbonne to crappie fish and enjoy family on the lake. We absolutely loved the lake house. The open floor plan with the beautiful windows overlooking the lake was perfect. It was decorated beautifully and we loved the beautiful hard wood floors and the comfortable wrap around couch that everyone could relax on after a day on the lake. We also took full advantage of all the outdoor seating areas. Coffee on the screened in porch in the mornings, drinks on the decks when grilling, and every afternoon we finished the day on the dock that had a large gathering area with patio furniture where you could enjoy the sun or the shade. The dock was very close and easy to walk to so my 82 year old mother could easily join in the fun. There were two boat slips but we preferred trailering our boat to the ferral island road boat slip to fish on the other side of the lake where it was deeper for mid March fishing. Our best fishing was the day we hired a guide, Nick Young, from D'Arbonne Lake Guide Service. We caught very large crappie with Nick and came home with alot of fish. We hope to make it back to another relaxing lake vacation next year. Thank you for a wonderful stay at your beautiful lake home ! Tim & Cheryl from Illinois.

Family Christmas at the Lake!

This was our third stay at this house celebrating Family Christmas on the lake. The location is awesome and the sunrise over the lake is amazing. The new owners have leveled the driveway and added asphalt… “huge” addition! They have added an awesome sectional sofa and it was enough room for our entire family to sit at one time 😃 The house had everything we needed to prepare meals for 12+ people including Christmas dinner. The icemaker was on the blink, but wasn’t a problem as one of us was out and about on a regular basis AND upon arrival we had a 10 lb bag of sonic ice waiting for us in the freezer. Eight of us stayed in the house and with the additional living space/apartment downstairs it is very accommodating hence why we come back each year. It allows for at least four people to stay downstairs as well as a great getaway from the crowd. The tankless hot water heater was another huge addition. The wifi is a little slow, but you have to understand it’s the way it is in the area due to the location. The boathouse is an awesome place to have your coffee and watch the sunrise…. The new owners are awesome and extremely responsive. They sent a text on Christmas day wishing us a Merry Christmas and also prior to our arrival sent a text for “safe travels” and to let them know if there’s anything we need during our stay. We all highly recommend!
