About this property
Sweet Life Family Haven by the Pondside - WCN232
Escape to this beautifully decorated 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath country retreat located in East Lake Charles, where comfort meets charm and the sweet life begins the moment you arrive. Nestled in a peaceful setting with room to sleep up to 12 guests, this home is perfect for families or groups of friends looking for something special.
The space features a king-size bed in the master, two full beds, two twins, and a fun bunk bed setup—plenty of room for everyone to relax. The home is tastefully styled throughout, with cozy touches that make it feel like a true getaway, not just a place to sleep.
Step outside to enjoy plenty of parking and a serene pond view, perfect for unwinding, stargazing, or sipping coffee in the fresh country air.
Just 15 minutes from Downtown Lake Charles, only 20 minutes to Golden Nugget and L’Auberge Casinos, and a quick 10-minute drive to the Bayou Rum Distillery—close to all the fun while still enjoying peace and quiet.
