Vacation rentals in Gulf Intracoastal Waterway

Ellen Lago was a delightful surprise! A roomy cabin with old time charm offering all the necessities, plus much more! The view of the lake from the porch is spectacular! The private beach is amazing with kayaks, beach volleyball, fireplace, and covered sitting area! The lake water is so clear you can watch the fish swim! Ellen Lago is the perfect place for a quiet, relaxing, peaceful vacation. I felt at home and safe at Ell Lago! Jess is a wonderful host!

Melissa was so very helpful, worked with me on getting checked in a little early as I was in town for a wedding, anytime I reached out she responded and was always so sweet. Would definitely stay again if I'm ever in the area!!

The location was perfect for my group’s needs. We were within walking distance to Raising Canes Convention Center. The house was spectacular! Three bedrooms with comfy beds, two clean bathrooms, a large kitchen, a nice living area to relax, and very affordable. Our host, Deirdre, was wonderful! She responded quickly and helped through every step of the process. You can’t go wrong staying at this home!

We had a delightful stay. The weather was great and the surrounding area offered many different things to do. The apartment fit four adults and two dogs very well. The outdoor area was large and we spent most of our time out there. The beds were so comfortable as were the linens. A+ all the way around!

A magical retreat we’ll never forget❤️ What an unbelievable stay! From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into a hidden gem designed with love and care. The kids were all smiles—kayaking, fishing, kicking the soccer ball across the open yard, and playing cornhole under the cozy covered space beneath the cabin. One of the most peaceful moments was watching the wood ducks glide across the water at sunset, gently landing on their little house. Nature truly put on a show for us. Inside, the cabin was a dream—warm, inviting, and full of thoughtful touches. The sound of rain dancing on the tin roof was its own lullaby. The coffee bar was a delight each morning, and soaking in the garden tub with bath bombs felt like a mini spa day. Each room told a story, lovingly decorated with nods to local treasures—like the Tabasco Factory and Jungle Gardens on Avery Island, and Rip Van Winkle Gardens on Jefferson Island. It felt like the spirit of the region was wrapped into every detail

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this charming fishing cabin on False River! The cabin had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway, and it was the perfect spot for our family of six (including two kids) and our two dogs. The porch was our favorite place to start each day with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate, taking in the peaceful view. The dock was great for a little fishing and enjoying the serene atmosphere. Inside, the cabin was older but cozy and well-equipped. We were able to cook breakfast together, and the kids had a blast watching movies and playing games in the evenings. It really felt like a home away from home. The host went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, was incredibly responsive, and gave us great recommendations for local activities. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind and spend quality time with our loved ones. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a peaceful, family-friendly retreat!

perfect place for a couple, very clean and comfortable. enjoyed the walkability to restaurants downtown

It was a cute and cozy place! It was perfect for our needs and the host was friendly!

This place is extraordinary, and Jeff was the consummate host. He was super-responsive, gave lots of helpful suggestions for things to do and went out of his way to make us feel fully at home with both total privacy and total availability. The home itself is wildly wonderful, exactly like the photos except more expansive inside and outside, with a lot of land. The landscape is gorgeous, and the bayou could not be prettier. I recommend this place for anyone!
