About this property

Peaceful Cabin Overlooking the Bogue Chitto River

Peaceful, secluded cabin right on the Bogue Chitto River. A private beach sand bar on the river is just a walk away. The views from the huge porch overlooking the river and all the nature it has to offer are second to none. It is a wonderful place with modern amenities tucked away in peaceful seclusion near the Bogue Chitto River.

I must add a disclaimer: being so close to the river can present logistical difficulties. When the river floods, the cabin is inaccessible. Thankfully, this only happens a few times per year. But in the event that the river rises to unacceptable levels during a booking, guests will receive a full refund for any unused time, as holding anyone accountable for the actions of nature doesn't seem fair to me.

Awkward

The stay was good just rained the whole time my only complaint was I felt uncomfortable there’s cameras everywhere n I just felt like we was being watched the entire time. Feels more like a half way house than a vacational stay

A peaceful and wonderful weekend

Our weekend was so peaceful and relaxing . The camp is even more beautiful in person . It has such a welcoming feeling the minute you walk in the door . The woods and the river view was defiantly added beauty . We enjoyed just sitting on the porch taking in all that God has created !!!We did not won’t to leave for sure - so with that being said we 100% look forward to going back again. Dylan and Jill were both so nice and willing to accommodate our stay in every way . Thanks again for sharing your beautiful camp with us The LeComptes

Beautiful quiet spot

This place was amazing! The owners were very accommodating after our 22 hour drive. We were able to get in early so we didn't have to putz around town with the dogs. It was so quiet and calming after the drive. We really appreciated it all.

peaceful getaway

It is a spacious cabin with all of the amenities of a home. It is located on the water for easy access to swimming or kayaking. The property is large and near a private beach access. It is a very relaxing home away from home! Communication with the owner and host was superb. I definitely recommend this property.

A Peaceful Getaway!

Our stay was just what we needed! In the hustle and bustle of every day life, we sometimes forget about the beauty around us. This property helps you to remember that. You are surrounded by woods, water and wildlife. It was the most peaceful place we have stayed to date. The entire time we were there, we never heard any noise from neighbors and you are far enough out to not hear traffic. The house was absolutely perfect! It was very clean, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. We will definitely be back again!

Best VRBO I’ve ever been to

Our stay at this cabin was one my family and I will remember for a lifetime. The cabin was very nice and secluded which made for the most peaceful relaxing weekend. A short walk to a huge sandbar plus a gorgeous day at the river. My nephews caught fish from the back yard and we had a fire on the beach. my family and I Will be back for sure!

Short get away, close by and convenient

Everything was great! The house is absolutely accommodating and comfortable. We cannot wait to have another trip to this exact location. It will become a regular for us. Peaceful & beautiful, I cannot say enough about our stay. My husband is trying to get me to go again in a couple of weeks. Thats how much we enjoyed it. Thanks to the host for making it a seamless vacation. Thanks to the owners for allowing us to share their home.

our second stay - the perfect getaway!

We love staying here! It’s not common to have such a luxurious “camp” on the bogue chitto in this parish. It really is the perfect spot; privacy, easy access to the river with great spots to relax and enjoy nature. Owner and manager were both great, very helpful with easy communication. Super clean place! Loved that it had an extra fridge/freezer and a washer and dryer. Easy access and about 3 min from a store if you forget something. Oh and it has a basketball goal, bring a ball!

Wonderful Weekend Getaway

We stayed here this past weekend for a short escape with our kids and two pups (who we usually have to leave at home). The cabin was immaculate and very nicely decorated. The kitchen had many amenities that made cooking so easy. The beds were incredibly comfy and so were the reclining sofas! Outdoors, we enjoyed several rounds of basketball, walking the doggies around the property and letting them explore and making S'mores at night! We also enjoying sitting out by the river listening to music and dipping our toes in the water! We're already planning our next visit! In addition, the communication with the hosts was outstanding. I contacted them several times about different little things and always received a friendly and timely reply. When we left, my husband forgot his watch and I contacted them right away. They went above & beyond to have the cleaning crew get it to them so they could get it back to us. Outstanding service!! 10/10

Great Cabin!

We loved our time at the cabin. The weather was perfect and the kids had a great time down by the beach digging and collecting rocks. They also loved the hammock! The yard was huge so we were able to play a lot of Bocce.
