About this property
Breathtaking, Wooded River Retreat " Isle Of View"
" Isle of View" is a spectacular 3 bedroom, two and a half bath, custom-built home on 7 private, wooded acres in Folsom Louisiana, with gorgeous sweeping views of the Little Tchefuncte river. This home is absolutely perfect for either a short get-away from the hustle and bustle of city life, or for an extended period of total relaxation and seclusion. With the enormous windows, and wide wrap- around decks, you will feel literally feel like you are living in a tree house, yet you will have all of the creature comforts you could ask for. If you are looking for the perfect place to unwind, then this is it.
Amenities include:
>An enormous great room with huge vaulted ceilings, rustic French antique walnut table from the early 1800's that seats 6 with a huge Elk antler chandelier above it. There is room for two more people at the kitchen bar. There is a very large comfortable sectional sofa that two people can sleep on, as well as a smaller leather sofa and two chairs. If two people sleep on the sectional sofa, then the house will sleep 8. For entertainment, there is a 60" Flat screen television in the great room, with the capability to stream movies, as well as a DVD player. We do not have cable because it is not available. The decor is the perfect mix between modern and rustic, with many interesting and fun pieces of art to enjoy.
>Bedroom with bunk beds, games, and toys for kids. The bunk bed is two twin Serta, mattresses, so smaller adults can sleep on them if need be. This bedroom also has a television/DVD combo.
> Horse-theamed Bedroom with very comfortable queen bed, dresser, and large closet.
>Very clean bathroom with tub/shower
>Extremely large primary bedroom with large, very comfortable King size bed, flat screen Television with DVD player. Primary bathroom is enormous, with a massive walk in shower with multiple shower heads. Bathroom is 100% ADA accessible.
>Laundry room
>High Speed satellite internet
>Wrap around decks that give you a bird's eye view of the trees and landscape. The views of the river are truly breathtaking. There is comfortable seating for eight on the largest covered deck ( right off of the living room) as well as an authentic bamboo Tiki Bar, which is perfect for entertaining.
> The little Tchefuncte river is crystal clear with gorgeous, quaint sandy beaches.
> Totally furnished kitchen with serving for 8. Ninja Blender, Stainless pots and pans, baking sheets, all kitchen utensils, seasonings, food storage containers, and a brand-new stainless refrigerator with ice maker and water purifier.
> Peaceful walking trails throughout the property
> Private gazebo.
> Stainless Steel gas bar-b-que grill.
> House is 100% ADA accessible.
> Elevator.
> Foot bridge that leads to lookout over the river and outdoor seating area.
> special area suitable for outdoor fires
>Plenty of outdoor seating areas, benches, and swings.
> Small country grocery store only 5 minutes away.
Special note: The fireplace does not work. It is for aesthetic purposes only. The reason we had to disconnect the fireplace is because of the liability and excessive propane use. The antique clawfoot tub in the primary bathroom is also for aesthetic purposes. It will require a major plumbing and tile renovation to get it working, which is not feasible at this point. The shower in the primary bathroom is massive, however and we do offer a tub in the second bathroom.
Optional services for additional fees:
>Cleaning during your stay including laundry service.
>Large gatherings such as weddings, anniversaries, family reunions, retreats, etc. can be scheduled. Please inquire for scheduling and pricing.
Guest access
Guests can access the entire property with the exception of the third floor and one of the closets in the master bedroom. Guests will have access to large closet in the master bedroom. The third floor is it's own self-contained condo and is off limits to guests. It is used by the owners ONLY when the house is not rented out. The third floor is accessed by the outside staircase and the elevator. The doors to the unit remain locked, so we ask that guests do not try to use the staircase to get to the third floor or to go up to the third floor with the elevator. Please do NOT allow children to go up to the third floor. The balcony up there is 40 feet up in the air, and if a child were to fall from there it would certainly result in tragedy.
You will be blown away with the unique appeal that "Isle of View ( I love you, get it? ) has. We can't wait to see you!

About the host
Hosted by Property Manager/Owner

I fell in love with this property and purchased it with the intention on one day living here full time with my daughter. We thought it would be fun and make financial sense to rent it out to select guests that would also appreciate it and take care of it.
Why they chose this property
This property is very special. It is totally private and secluded and very peaceful and serene. We have had baptisms in the river here, weddings, anniversaries, Batchelor parties, bachelorette parties, etc. The view of the river and the trees from the wrap-around deck upstairs is breathtaking. This house is absolutely perfect if you are looking for a retreat and a place to get away from it all.
