About this property

Cheap rates on False River! Summer dates available!

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 from 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 the lake. 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 !

Great family condo

We really enjoyed our family time at Fishful Thinking and will definitely be back. Micki was very accommodating and quick with responses. The condo had everything we needed, very clean, and the dock was great too. I’m already thinking about our next trip!

Guys weekend.

My husband and son needed a place to stay that was affordable, nice for a guys weekend, and within 30 minutes of the LSU stadium for game day, and we found this one. It had a beautiful view of the lake and was perfect for them for the weekend. They had the bottom floor and it worked great!

The downstairs until was great, very clean and had everything you needed. Enjoyed the nice deck, with fans and seating. The only part that made it very uncomfortable was the folks renting upstairs. It was constant noise like they were rearranged furniture all day and late at night and keep us up late and then all night. If we were to rent again we would rent the top unit. Or only rent the lower section if no one was renting above.

Enjoyed our visit to False River

Although our stay was very nice and relaxing, parking with a boat trailer was quite challenging due to narrowness of shared driveway. Thank goodness landing is a few doors down. The a/c wasn’t running well during our stay. Fortunately they had a box fan to help cool off the place. Full size bed in room made it difficult to sleep in the first night. Not sure what was going on there. Over all we really enjoyed the place and very convenient to the water.

Great spot for a group of boys

We have stayed here before. It’s a great location to stay to go to lsu games. Check in is easy. We did find that this time it wasn’t as clean. There was dirt in the sheets and shower had soap scum in the tub. We had a group of guys so it was fine but glad I didn’t have the picky wife with me.
