Very nice place on the river. The main house sleeps 3 couple comfortably and is really nice. The boathouse is its own 1 bedroom apartment and is very comfortable for a couple. Very clean and accommodating.

We enjoyed this house this week because it gave us a place to gather out of town family under one roof for a funeral. We laughed and talked and got to be together in way that would not have been possible in a hotel. If you like to fish, this would not disappoint.

Country Bayou

Very nice property. Bugs and mosquitoes was a problem outside, so we didn’t get to enjoy the deck outside. The road is quite rough going about 2 miles into the dense woods to the property location. We enjoyed antique shopping and restaurants in the town of Jefferson. All in all the property was very accommodating and peaceful.

Girls' trip

From the moment we drove up to the property we were in love. I had a loss in my family (my spouse), and needed this getaway. The boat house was a source of solace for me. The rest of the property, including the dock (!!!!), full kitchen, and ease of check in and check out was wonderful. Will be back.

Perfect, Perfect Perfect!!!

We needed an escape to recharge our physical and mental batteries and Joli's Bayou provided the charge that we needed. The home is off the beaten path, but is well worth the journey. The attention to detail, the cleanliness and the accommodations were just great. The host and hostess couldn't have been any nicer. We were welcomed with snacks, some of the most comfortable beds and some excellent fishing during our downtime. We WILL return to Jefferson and this will be our retreat Thanks to Roxanne and Burt, you guys are the Best!!
