Fun time in Shreveport

We went with our family to Shreveport and found it was cheaper to stay here rather than the casinos. So glad we did! So close and easy to get to and fun things to do around the house for non gamblers. Comfy beds and all the amenities you need!!

90th Birthday Celebration Retreat

Hello, we stayed at this property while we were in town visiting my grandmother for her 90th birthday party celebration. The house was perfect for our family because I had some elderly members with me and they enjoyed the benefit of having multiple bedrooms on the first level. The home was clean and comfortable. The kitchen area and main living room was very spacious as well. The property owner was very responsive to messages. We would stay here again if we had to come back to Shreveport.

Amazing property and host

I asked to have a party one day and, because it was a family event over a long weekend, it more or less turned into a revolving door of additional family and friendly. The bedrooms were over the top, open, clean and great in and outdoor space. Couldn't have asked for a better location, view, house or host.

60th Birthday Celebration

This lake house was perfect for our large family to get together to celebrate my wife’s 60th birthday. It is very spacious, comfortable and well appointed for any group that just wants to hang out, cook and relax around the pool. The lake view is very nice and the backyard is private.

Excellent Lake House!

From booking process to lead-up to checkin to departure, the owners were superb in their communication and responsiveness. The house itself was spacious, well stocked. And wonderfully appointed. Lots of room to spread out, plenty of seating inside and out, amazing spa shower in the master, and television in just about every room in the house. We thoroughly enjoyed this Weekly rental to celebrate the birth of our first grandchild and are already making plans for an annual return to the property. We really did enjoy it that much!

Volleyball tournament

We enjoyed our weekend for a volleyball tournament. We had 4 adults and 5 teenage girls. They loved the upstairs movie room & enjoyed the pool. We enjoyed eating supper and relaxing in the evenings at this lovely place with a beautiful lake view.

Great outdoor area, lots of space in the kitchen and house. This property has wonderful potential. Wi-Fi and hot tub not working but that wasn’t a deal breaker.

Way more than 5 stars

The 1st thing you notice when you drive up is all the parking space, the beautiful landscape and cute wooden bridge. When you open the front door...lets just say the pictures do not do justice to how gorgeous the inside of the house is. The wide open layout gave us so much room to enjoy ourselves. Everything you need from cooking, to laundry..to showering is all there. They have thought of everything for their guests. The game room was perfect for the teenagers to hang out and have their own space and the upstairs balcony gives you an amazing view of the water, backyard and pool. The backyard has a large patio that leads to the pool with plenty of seatingto sit back and relax. The pool was so refreshing the last few days that were hot.

Wedding Weekend

The property is beautiful. The back yard that overlooks the lake and the home looks like the pictures listed. Our family has vacationed in a few VRBO properties and this one had the most bells and whistles and had the best stocked kitchen of any we have stayed in. Our grandchildren had a great time in the pool, loved the games, the master bathroom and they didn't want to leave. The hosts were very kind and check in was very easy. The hosts left a note asking, what would you do if this were your vacation rental? So here are our constructive, but very minor additions. 1. Add blank sheets of paper in the back of the welcome notebook and encourage guests to share messages about their experiences in Shreveport with the hosts and/or future guests. ( Like a guest book) 2. Boxes of Kleenex in at least each bathroom. 3. A few more sets of silverware 4. Luggage rack and clock in upstairs bedroom. Like I said before, this house had wonderful amenities, lots of towels, dish towels and a well stocked pantry, so these ideas are minor. We would definitely stay again. The hosts are very nice and accommodating people. If I were to rate them they would get 10 stars. Thanks for the memories from your Kansas friends!

This place is awesome!

Poolside Paradise on Cross Lake is the perfect name for this hidden gem. This place is awesome! And perfect for our large family. They’ve thought of everything, including ceiling fans and easy to use televisions throughout. The master suite and guest bedrooms/baths are on the ground floor with one bedroom/bathroom and movie room upstairs. The master suite boasts a very large world class spa shower that you don’t want to miss! The teenagers made the movie room their hangout spot and that worked perfectly for everyone. The kitchen and pantry are large and stocked with everything you’d possibly need. The open concept was ideal for cooking, eating, and socializing all at the same time, and all with a view of the back deck straight out to the lake. With some very strategic/tasteful fencing, the property feels very private and there is plenty of parking for you and your guests. The property is clean and completely enjoyable throughout, from relaxing on the deck with plenty of seating, ceiling fans, and a television; to the outdoor kitchen with grills and refrigerator; to the pool fit for lounging, playing, and swimming; to the fire pit seating area on the way to the lake; all the way to the lake itself. All of this and the owner and her team are the icing on the cake; professional, accommodating, and just good, kind people. We will definitely be back!
