A Slice of Heaven
I was very pleased with my stay at this darling “Small House”! Every inch of the interior is cleverly and thoughtfully used, making the most of the cozy space. But it’s really the outside that steals the show—absolutely a little slice of heaven on earth. Peaceful, charming, and perfect for relaxing. With the owners plans to refresh the cabins and grounds, I hope to return this time next year!

Quiet, Cozy Getaway
The host was extremely communicative and offered access to kayaks, a paddle board, and a canoe to check out the local lake, which I would highly recommend. The area is quiet and about 20-25 mins from downtown Shreveport eateries and attractions. There are a few other cabins that are quite close, but the other guests staying there were quiet and courteous. Overall great experience.

Cute tiny home
The house was great - absolutely no problems. Just exactly as it was listed and there was great communication with the owner. My only complaint - the road to get to the home was bad with several deep pot holes. I drive a 4wd lifted Jeep and it was even a concern for me getting to and from the home.
