The Settlement-Annual Family Easter Event

Everything that we needed, and everything that owner provided, made for a very special Easter for our family. Warm Cookies and cold milk awaited our arrival from owner. Their residence offered all the amenities needed and was set in an spectacular position (facing the water); certainly not a fishing-camp atmosphere. However, we did know several of local guides that put us onto sufficient fish in the immediate body of water to feed (plus some)12 guests. We will definitely book at another time of year; looking forward to a Fall trip when we can invite some close friends in our network (Houston) who would greatly appreciate the owner's offering. Note: small Episcopal church located in walking distance from the owner's location that is available to worship from Easter to Labor Day.

Place of Respite

We were in Lake Charles for a family funeral and wanted a place where we could stay together as a family. Mary and Brian's place provided that and so much more. This home gave us a place to relax in beautiful surroundings. We loved it from the time we drove in! A beautiful porch with amazing water views. A woodburning fireplace that we used every night and a few mornings. (You don't get a fireplace with a gorgeous water view very often!) A fully stocked kitchen, including the coffee! Plenty of space for us to play games upstairs or to spread out and have our quiet moments of solitude. Comfy beds. Three full bathrooms. Honestly, we hated to leave! Communication with hosts were quick, efficient and welcoming from the beginning to the end! We would all highly recommend and I hope to find an excuse to book again in the near future!

About the host

Hosted by Mary Shaddock Jones

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.
