Breathtaking, Wooded River Retreat " Isle Of View"

" Isle of View" is a spectacular 3 bedroom, two and a half bath, custom-built home on 7 private, wooded acres in Folsom Louisiana, with gorgeous sweeping views of the Little Tchefuncte river. This home is absolutely perfect for either a short get-away from the hustle and bustle of city life, or for an extended period of total relaxation and seclusion. With the enormous windows, and wide wrap- around decks, you will feel literally feel like you are living in a tree house, yet you will have all of the creature comforts you could ask for. If you are looking for the perfect place to unwind, then this is it.

Amenities include:
>An enormous great room with huge vaulted ceilings, rustic French antique walnut table from the early 1800's that seats 6 with a huge Elk antler chandelier above it. There is room for two more people at the kitchen bar. There is a very large comfortable sectional sofa that two people can sleep on, as well as a smaller sofa and two chairs positioned in front of the gas fireplace. If two people sleep on the sofa, then the house will sleep 8. For entertainment, there is a 60" Flat screen television in the great room, with the capability to stream movies ( Firestick) as well as a DVD player. The decor is the perfect mix between modern and rustic, with many interesting and fun pieces of art to enjoy.

>Bedroom with bunk beds, games, and toys for kids. The bunk bed is two twin Serta, mattresses, so smaller adults can sleep on them if need be. This bedroom also has a television/DVD combo.

Guest access
Guests can access the entire property with the exception of the third floor and the larger closet in the master bedroom. Guests will have access to the smaller closet in the master bedroom, which is still very large. The third story of the house is its own separate apartment and Jenny, the property manager stays there roughly about half of the month. She is VERY quiet and professional and never intrudes on guests' privacy. You can make as much noise and have a great time without worrying about bothering her because on the third floor, you can barely hear anything below. I did not list this as shared space, because you are not sharing any space on the first or second floor. This situation is like having a separate, very private condo on top of the condo you are renting.

You will be blown away with the unique appeal that "Isle of View ( I love you, get it? ) has. We can't wait to see you!

What a cool, unique place! We had plenty of room and everything we needed to enjoy a quiet getaway from the city, while still being close enough to everything else we could have needed. There is a little bit of deferred maintenance around the property that could absolutely escalate the appeal and comfort of the home, but nothing that was a hindrance in any way to our wonderful stay. My kids thought this was the coolest place ever!

A breathtaking unique get away.
The photos are gorgeous which is what got me and I have to say the property is even more stunning in person. The owner was very communicative and welcoming. We're going to have to find an excuse to stay again!

Wonderful stay
This is definitely a hidden gem of a property. Very nice! Kitchen was well stocked with everything that you need. Lots of space, seating, and storage for your things. The shower in the main bedroom was really nice and spacious. Very clean house! Outdoor area is great to just sit and relax while spending time with each other. The outdoor cat that hangs around is very sweet and loves to greet you - my daughter and I loved getting to see him and will miss him lots! Internet worked well, as did the tv channels. Beds and pillows were quite comfortable. Very quiet area to stay with lots of privacy. Definitely recommend and we hope to stay again!

Rude, dirty beds and trash
All in all I feel the house was really misrepresented. It was in disrepair. The "stocked kitchen" had 2 filthy pans. We arrived to dirty beds and the previous guest's trash in trash cans(a long with flies). I found sheets and changed them myself. When I contacted owner about dirty beds (dirty everything really) and full trash cans he made some excuse about the previous tenants trashing the place and house keeping not having time to clean it? No apologies. Everyone expects at the very least not to have to clean up after previous guests just to sleep not to mention we paid cleaning fees. We didn't check in until hours after check-in either which was communicated with him. The house keeper just chose not to properly clean it and we were told tough. This is not the evening I wanted after driving 9hours to get there. Unprofessional is the nicest way to put it.

Secluded & private
Very private and isolated. Exactly what we were searching for this trip. Built in the woods so nature is all around while sitting on the back deck relaxing with a glass of your choice. This property is handicap ready for wheelchair individuals or seniors. Parking great especially when bad weather arrives. The elevator is located under house parking therefore loading & unloading is ideal. A very welcome plus. I always bring extra blankets everywhere I stay & they were used. This isn't any reflection on the heating system at all, its just a senior citizen thing. All in all we were very satisfied and the owner was very helpful in every way.

Christmas in a tree house
We chose this place to stay for Christmas. This is the most unique place! Private and secluded. Like staying in a tree house! It was very clean, decorated so well I took pictures to steal ideas! The most romantic, and serene place to be. Bed was comfy! We loved it!

Not what I truly expected.
The place does look like the pictures but there were a few problems. There were dips in the floor and there was a hole under a chair in the living room. Half of the lights did not work and parts of the place were not as clean as I expected it to be. The place was cool to stay at for the night but i could have paid the amount I did at this place at a motel and find the place in better state. Also the elevator they have feels like it came out of a haunted mansion movie.
