Very Isolated
Needs some repair and updating, very isolated, if you fish it would work but nothing else to do. Can not go in water. All house needs there. Felt some holes in floor covered by carpet. Description does not meet actual house. Not a bungalow, an old cabin.

Solitude at the Lake
The bungalow is clean. The yard is manicured. The host has all you need. NOW !!! You have a dock to sit on & watch the water. You can hear the frogs, see the fish feeding, watch the dragonflies & lightning bugs, see water plants, hear & watch the purple martins. Such a great outdoors experience. We thought we would sightsee but ended up just enjoying & appreciating nature. Thanks so much for sharing this with others.

Peaceful and quiet
The Bayou Bungalow is a great place to stay and very peaceful. It is everything as listed and much more. Bob and Carol are super hosts and very caring during our stay. The wildlife from herons, hawks, and owls. The yard is very nice along with neighborhood. We enjoyed our walks with our dog on B Johnson Rd and down Walnut Log Rd. Fishing was a little slow, but we had several catches. We had our grandboys one night and a family get together the following day. Everyone loved the Bayou Bungalow. Very clean and well stocked. We will definitely make this a yearly visit. Thank you, Bob and Carol!!

Everything was just as described on the VRBO site. We could not have gotten anything any better anywhere. The location was nice and quiet in a good neighborhood. We will definitely stay there again. It was so nice to go into a clean comfortable home away from home. I am very much a grermaphobe so walking on someone else’s floors barefoot just isn’t me but I did and felt OK about it. Thank You Bob & Carole for sharing your home.
