Everything was as promised. House was clean and up to date. Check in process was seamless and host was extremely friendly and accommodating. Enjoyed just relaxing and fishing off the pier. Would definitely book again!
My friends and I enjoyed our stay. The property was clean. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils for cooking. The location was easy to find. The drive to local attractions was not bad either.
Perfect for our family gathering. Several places within the home and outside for us to share laughs, meals, and family time. We enjoyed relaxing out on the screened porch area and watching the sunset from the pier. The steep driveway was unexpected but we managed. More than adequate parking given the size of our party.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about this property. Beautiful inside and out. Amazing view of False River (we enjoyed our morning coffee on the pier) Plenty of room, comfortable furnishings (the pillows and sheets were divine), and well appointed kitchen.Would definitely return, again, and again, and again!!
This is our second stay here and it agian met all expectations. Beautiful home summer or fall. We were able to take advantage of the on sight outdoor heater and firepit as well as the indoor gas fireplace during this stay. Lots of family memories made and talks of our next trip back. Thanks again for a great trip and sharing your beautiful home!
The home was beautiful and so very well stocked. We enjoyed prepping meals in the kitchenwith high in and quality applicances and pots, etc. We rented a boat for the weekend and the whole fmaily enjoyed tubing, floating and fishing. We promptly booked another stay in the Fall!
We had a great weekend in False River! For most of us, it was our first experience at an LSU game and needed a good place/location for the game. Ma Mamma’s is a great place for evening meal. Great food and perfect place to take a big group or just your special someone. The house was clean, spacious and provided everything and more for our group. I would definitely recommend this place for a great stay. Great communication by the owner too!!
House was beautiful,well maintained and very well stocked. Screened in porch was great. The grandchildren loved fishing on the pier. Actually caught 3 catfish. Communication with owner easy and responded promptly. Would definitely rent this house again
Our ladies Soul Circle group stayed at Family Ties for a weekend and it was just perfect. The space was so welcoming and clean, and perfectly accommodated our large group. The kitchen was well stocked and even had two ovens which made cooking for a large group ideal, and there was plenty of space to eat at the indoor island and table. There were also so many great areas to gather in the living room, screened porch (that had an extra fab for the heat!), back patio, and the dock. What a fabulous place to connect with nature and each other and watch beautiful sunsets. The beds (and especially pillows!) were so comfortable. We will definitely be returning, Family Ties is an ideal getaway house!
From the moment we walked in the door, it smelled so fresh and welcoming. The beds were beyond comfortable. We enjoyed the games available to play as a family. Definitely was not ready to go home. Only recommend having an ironing board available for use, however, I didn’t attempt to reach out to see if it was located somewhere other than the laundry area. Whenever I needed to contact the host she was readily available. Definitely hope to stay here again, but longer!
I booked this outing in January for July 4th. It finally got here. We were all looking forward to it and it was GREAT. We ALL had one (1) complaint about the house - the microwave was under the cabinet. We ALL have back problems and over 70 (HA!). It was hard on us to bend and hard to read the numbers because of bi-folds (HA). Other than "old-ager" complaints the house was beautiful, had up-to-date appliances, comfortable furniture (recliners were great for us 'old-agers'), extremely roomy for seven (7). We truly appreciate the owners allowing others to enjoy their lovely accommodations. Thanks!
Very nice house and the owner added special Christmas decorations such as a Christmas tree etc as we stayed the week of Christmas there. Communication was easy and very quick responses. Love this property
