Our home is perfect for a family with teenagers, several couples or a group of men and or women who want to enjoy all the fishing, hunting, birding, gambling, festivals and fun of SWLA.

You don’t need to fish or hunt, just enjoy the sound of the waves crashing on the sea walls, the seagulls flying and the magnificent sunsets from the 400 square feet front porch!

Walking distance to the Chapel of the Holy Spirit- so it would be a great place for a retreat. This house is 15 feet above sea-level so step accessible but not wheelchair accessible.

Old Settlement is on an island accessible via pontoon bridges crossing the ICWW and less than 20 mins. south of downtown Lake Charles.

We love Old Settlement and work diligently to ensure your stay with us will be memorable. We have consistently been rated 5 stars. Come join us and enjoy some down time at Old Settlement.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Shaddock Jones

Host profile image
I grew up spending the summer at my parents home at Big Lake. My husband and I built this home behind my parents home in 2003 when we lived in Houston. After spending a lot of weekends at Big Lake, we moved back to Lake Charles in 2005. This home is our special place. There is nothing quite as relaxing as sitting on the porch with a glass of wine overlooking the lake at any time, during any season. It is a magical place.
