Property Description
" 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 leather sofa and two chairs. If two people sleep on the sectional 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, as well as a DVD player. We do not have cable because it is not available. 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. > Horse-theamed Bedroom with very comfortable queen bed, dresser, and large closet. >Very clean bathroom with tub/shower >Extremely large primary bedroom with large, very comfortable King size bed, flat screen Television with DVD player. Primary bathroom is enormous, with a massive walk in shower with multiple shower heads. Bathroom is 100% ADA accessible. >Laundry room >High Speed satellite internet >Wrap around decks that give you a bird's eye view of the trees and landscape. The views of the river are truly breathtaking. There is comfortable seating for eight on the largest covered deck ( right off of the living room) as well as an authentic bamboo Tiki Bar, which is perfect for entertaining. > The little Tchefuncte river is crystal clear with gorgeous, quaint sandy beaches. > Totally furnished kitchen with serving for 8. Ninja Blender, Stainless pots and pans, baking sheets, all kitchen utensils, seasonings, food storage containers, and a brand-new stainless refrigerator with ice maker and water purifier. > Peaceful walking trails throughout the property > Private gazebo. > Stainless Steel gas bar-b-que grill. > House is 100% ADA accessible. > Elevator. > Foot bridge that leads to lookout over the river and outdoor seating area. > special area suitable for outdoor fires >Plenty of outdoor seating areas, benches, and swings. > Small country grocery store only 5 minutes away. Special note: The fireplace does not work. It is for aesthetic purposes only. The reason we had to disconnect the fireplace is because of the liability and excessive propane use. The antique clawfoot tub in the primary bathroom is also for aesthetic purposes. It will require a major plumbing and tile renovation to get it working, which is not feasible at this point. The shower in the primary bathroom is massive, however and we do offer a tub in the second bathroom. Optional services for additional fees: >Cleaning during your stay including laundry service. >Large gatherings such as weddings, anniversaries, family reunions, retreats, etc. can be scheduled. Please inquire for scheduling and pricing. Guest access Guests can access the entire property with the exception of the third floor and one of the closets in the master bedroom. Guests will have access to large closet in the master bedroom. The third floor is it's own self-contained condo and is off limits to guests. It is used by the owners ONLY when the house is not rented out. The third floor is accessed by the outside staircase and the elevator. The doors to the unit remain locked, so we ask that guests do not try to use the staircase to get to the third floor or to go up to the third floor with the elevator. Please do NOT allow children to go up to the third floor. The balcony up there is 40 feet up in the air, and if a child were to fall from there it would certainly result in tragedy. 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!

Great weekend get-a-way Nice quiet property. We stayed for the weekend, able to take a short trip to Covington/Abita but still stay away from any city feel. Owner was great to deal with.

Looks like it’s out of a story book Cute place to stay! Only complaints are the amount of spiders and bugs (outside, not inside). Granted, it’s summer in Louisiana. The property could just use a little outside maintenance. There is also a friendly cat that roams the area. The only reason this was an issue is because our dogs are reactive and it made it a little stressful. Friendly host who was very responsive and accommodating.

Secluded Getaway The "Isle of View" was the perfect location for my friends and I. Situated a little more than an hour from Baton Rouge and New Orleans, we were able to visit both cities and retreat to the quiet castle at night. The resident Hemingway cat that oversaw the property was very affectionate. Bring cat treats! We will stay again. Thank you Marcus.

Exactly what we were looking for This was a perfect charming retreat! It was exactly what I wanted! I could agree with the other reviews that it could use a little additional maintenance, and I was very disappointed that the fireplace and tub were out of order, but the beauty more than made up for it! Not to mention Feets the cat we met that we named based off of well his huge feet! The many sitting places made for a wonderful evening and we even sat around the fire for a while. The o ky thing I would have changed is our duration of stay!

Secluded Beauty If privacy is what you want this is the best. Marcus was readily available for information on just about anything - great host. Location was awesome for traveling - we spanned the state from Lafayette (Avery Island) to Mississippi. Both sides E & W were less than 2 hours, so this central location was perfect. Stop at a grocery store and grab a few necessities and begin your hunt for authentic southern food. 5 minutes away is the Global Wildlife Center is like 7 minutes away - we’ve been to the best zoos in the world and this place was so awesome. Highly recommend a private tour - you’ll laugh harder than you ever have when feeding the animals.

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.

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!
