About this cottage rental
Located in False River, this charming cottage for $199 per night is a great option for your next trip. We offer two separate vacation cottage rental units on False River with a private two story pier and dock for your boat. Each unit is rented separately. And the pier is shared by both renters. False River has become a popular place for boating, fishing, and various water sport enthusiasts across southern Louisiana. We are located approximately six miles for New Roads, Louisiana — the heart of Pointe Coupee Parish. False River is a 10.5 mile long "trophy lake." To be a "trophy lake" means that fish of a certain size are required to be thrown back to grow larger. False River has often held the state record for the largest number of striped bass per acre in the state. If you're into water sports, False River is a great place to go tubing, water skiing, wakeboarding, boating, and jet skiing. Fishful Thinking is conveniently located to shopping, gas stations, restaurants, bars, and boat launches. The boat launches are located at either end of False River. The launch located on the northern end of the lake , is a free public boat launch with barbecue and picnic facilities. Satterfields is right next door and offers a fuel dock right on the water. Another boat launch located on the southern end of the lake is open to the public with a small fee to access. The Sandbar (bar and restaurant) is located south only 5 camps down from Fishful Thinking which also has a boat launch and gasoline on the water. Nearby attractions include downtown New Roads (8 miles), St Francisville (15 miles), Baton Rouge (30 miles), and New Orleans (100 miles) from False River. There are several historic homes and civil war historical sites to see near False River. When it's time for a lake house vacation, please stay at Fishful Thinking. We will provide a great experience for you!

This is our second time staying at Fishful Thinking and we absolutely love it! Micki is so accommodating and helpful. We have stayed in both the top and now the bottom cabin and both are extremely well equipped, has all you need in the kitchen, comfortable beds and a beautiful dock to tie up your boat. We will be back!!

Great place, convenient location, set up nice for a big party if you rent both up and downstairs, which we did. This is the second time to rent this location. Works great for us.

We went to LA to visit the Angola Prison Rodeo (quite an adventure) and found this place. Sunrise was beautiful, place was nicely decorated and well stocked. Others have mentioned a bug issue - love bugs and gnats the first night at sunset, but otherwise we spent a lot of time on the deck and sitting by the fire pit. We ate at the Sandbar - good bar food and walkable. I would definitely recommend!

Such a great set-up! We occupied both units for an Easter family gathering and it was perfect, in spite of the weather. Caught fish from the dock, enjoyed the boat rides, the crawfish boil was a big success….. everything we needed!
Will definitely recommend this camp and look forward to staying again.
Owner was a pleasure to work with.
Thank you Micki!

In listing is says you may share pier with other home. I was not aware this meant top and bottom of house is rented out separately. Luckily no one rented below us. We had toddler running around which would have been disturbing for the downstairs renters. House was not clean how it should. Had dishes with old green bean stuck to it. Fouton looked dirty, so I stayed clear from sitting on it. The mattresses are horribly uncomfortable, you can feel springs and it dipped in middle. Deck needs tending to, boards coming up and cob webs all over it. Vacuum had someone else’s dirt in it, it wasn’t dumped, so I didn’t turn it on. No dish washer, so if you cook a lot, save an hr out your time to wash before leaving. (Which no one likes to do on their relaxing wkend getaway) Only good thing is the location.

Micki was awesome and very accommodating. We couldn't find anything available last minute that would accommodate our big family and He allowed us to pass the limit that was allowed as long as we didn't wreck the place. We weren't able to get the bottom floor rented, but it was a nice big open floor plan that fit everyone comfortably. It was the perfect spot with the boat ramp and bar next door.

The outside of building and pier need to be pressure washed. The shower curtain liner need to be replaced. Otherwise, it was in good condition.

First off the place is great. Great location was great and easy check in and it was clean. Things that we didn’t like. Master bedroom had no tv. But most of all unfortunately the mosquitoes at night was like a horror film. Could not even open door. Tried using vacuum but vacuum had a torn bag so did not work. This was our biggest dissatisfaction. Had 2 days but only stayed one night. I know you are next to water so maybe this could be the issue but still. Overall it was ok wish it could have been better. This was a staycation but was exhausting going up and down stairs. Don’t know if I will return. Of course this is my opinion and my experience

We had a wonderful time at the cottage. It was cozy and clean with a beautiful view of false river. It was stocked with plenty of necessities. The only problem we had was the mosquitoes on the porch. Please bring plenty of repellent. We didn't get to set out in the late evening our night because the mosquitoes covered the porch.

My sisters and I had a great weekend. The place was perfect for our group. Looking forward to renting up stairs and downstairs together for a bigger group. Nicely decorated. Plenty of supplies.

Nice, quiet place. We were in town for an LSU game, booked a few weeks out and paid about 85% less than the homes available in Baton Rouge. We had about a 30 minute drive to the stadium (via Uber) but well worth it compared to prices in Baton Rouge.
