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.

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.

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.

Get away from Atlanta

The lake house has all of comforts and necessities of a well maintained modern house. Wonderful setting to simply relax and unwind. Especially enjoyed the beautiful view of the lake and bird watching. The humming bird darting around the Crepe Myrtle trees was an unexpected surprise.

Fantastic lake house

The house and dock were perfect for a weekend trip with friends from college. House was clean and had everything we needed. Power went out and generator kicked on a minute later. Plenty of hot water. Hosts were attentive and texted us to check in. Would definitely stay here again.

Can't wait to go again

Property was amazing. Communication with property manager and owners was very good. We were updated with road closures after a storm immediately. I was able to store my boat in the boat dock and lift out of water during the storm. Fishing was also great along the channel fishing standing timber.

Beautiful home with beautiful lake views

This home is beautifully furnished and is a very comfortable space to be with your family. I love the large leather sectional and the throw blankets that were layed out for us. The view from the kitchen table as well as the living room are gorgeous. There was lots of space inside and outside to spread out . The communication with the owners and the manager was prompt and friendly. We look forward to taking friends and family back there.

Awesome Property

Our stay at the property was very pleasant!!! It was very clean and comfortable. The property is spacious and the pictures of the master bedroom do not show its actual size. We stayed here while my son played baseball at Ruston Sports Complex. It was about a 45 minute drive to and from the park. We plan to book again in the future so we have more time to enjoy the property and all it has to offer. Very satisfied!!!
