Holiday rentals with a patio in Ouachita River

Best place in Ruston! Walkable to tech’s campus.

It was a great place to unwind after an all-day convention. Would be happy to stay here again.

The mirrors and windows really made the place stand out and I loved it. I always like to stay out on the porch and this one was perfect. For hours at a time without a phone or tablet. The sounds of the water, the birds chirping, and nobody disturbing you. The lake with the mountains in the background was a great view. There’s turtles sunbathing and geese flying it all was so beautiful. And the place felt so clean as well. I never second-guessed any surface I touched like I do at some places. Loved how it was just about 20 minutes away from downtown but a gorgeous drive there and back

Shawn was very responsive and kind. The place was perfect for us. My 4 year old (and I) especially loved the chickens who visited us! Our dog was thankful for the treats!!! this place was top tier to break up our long road trip :)

We really loved this condo. The view was beautiful and had all we needed. The elevator made it so easy for my elderly mother and also for groceries etc. highly recommend this condo for a get away, you won’t regret it.

Was visiting for my partners family reunion. Great stay and had everything we needed. The apartment was clean, spacious, and we felt right at home. Would definitely book here again and highly recommend to other travelers!

What a wonderful & pretty place to stay! We stayed here 2nights of our wedding weekend in May. The grounds are gorgeous with flowers in bloom, & fresh cut flowers around our room was such a lovely touch! The rooms are spacious & beautiful. Thank you, Pam for hosting us on our special weekend! I highly recommend visiting Layton's Castle!!

Roxanne was a very kind and responsive host. She ensured I had everything I needed for a 5 star stay. I would definitely stay here again in the future. This is probably one of my favorite stays now. The bed is firm but comfortable, the home is beautifully done, and it has every amenity you could need for a short or longer stay. The windows open out to help catch a breeze on cool nights as well. I didn’t get to kayak, but all I needed to do was get it to the water had I wanted to make time for it. The lake is beautiful, cool, and refreshing for swimming. The sunsets are peaceful and quiet, and I’m sure the fishing would be great as you can sometimes see them jumping at the top of the water. You will not regret staying here. I hope to bring my daughter with me next trip. I was not far from all the hiking, lakes, shopping, and spa treatments I could get into in a weekend.

We had a wonderful time. The house was exactly as the pictures portrayed it. Location was excellent. Highly recommend this host!

Great location just off Highway- 1/ Youree. Easily accessible and a lot of things to do in the area!!

We felt very comfortable here, everything was as described and pictured. Renee was very nice and responded quickly to my messages.

Our stay at Manav's home was great from start to finish. Our family of 8 enjoyed everything. Communication was clear and incredibly helpful. All the necessary details were provided for a smooth check-in/out and there’s a guestbook offering local recommendations for restaurants, things to do, and places to go. The property itself was beautifully decorated and felt incredibly welcoming. We especially loved the well-equipped kitchen, the comfortable beds, and the stunning views. The location was perfect. It was out of the way and private with easy access to downtown and everything you could want or need.

Dawn's Cozy and Convenient was just that ! Both very cozy, clean and convenient. We will definitely be back ! Dawn was a very responsive host and gave us great recommendations. The air b and b was decorated with local art/touches. what a cool place !

Absolutely beautiful place, the view was beautiful, it was clean and organized. The drive there was calm and peaceful. You could see wildlife in the tree lines. The people were friendly, the local restaurants felt homey and relaxing. It was probably one of the best get-aways I’ve had from the busy city life.

A Truly Magical Stay Where do I even begin? Sara’s place was absolutely incredible. From the moment we walked in, we were completely blown away. The house is like stepping into a different era—with every detail thoughtfully preserved and displayed. The antique charm is everywhere, from the beautifully aged wood finishes to the vintage décor that somehow feels both elegant and homey. The kitchen deserves a special shoutout—it’s not just beautiful, it’s inspiring. Between the unique cabinetry, the cozy layout, and the old-world touches, we felt like we were in a storybook. You can tell someone poured a lot of love into this place. Sara herself was the perfect host—warm, responsive, and clearly passionate about making sure her guests have a memorable experience. You don’t always find that kind of care and soul in a stay. Truly one of the most special places we’ve ever stayed. Would absolutely recommend and can’t wait to return!

Brian was very accomodating and offered a great place for us to stay. It was a stress-free week at the lake with a wonderful view. The weather was great, so we got to use the roll up door during the day which made the place very unique and enjoyable. We will be booking this house again in the future and recommending it for anyone wanting a great stay on the lake!

We enjoyed our long holiday weekend at Chris's condo. We spent the majority of our time there on the covered balcony taking in the views and watching storms come and go over the lake. The king bed was very comfortable and the space was perfect for a couple. Easy check-in and Chris was very responsive to any message we sent.

Debbie was great is being communicative and took care of us well on our trip! definitely recommend for a nice getaway! We were able to bring our diabetic dog and keep a close eye on her as well which meant a lot to us!

Brittany’s place was absolutely beautiful. Everything was clean and tidy. There were extra dog bowls for pets as well. The view from the window was so pretty. Brittany gave very clear directions and instructions on how to get there and how to get inside. She was very responsive and answered all questions I had. 10/10 would recommend!

I enjoy my stay it was peaceful and private and beautiful. Easy too get too all the lock food place and casino 🎰... very clean

Not only was Murphy an incredible host, the property was pristine! What an amazing view, updated and incredibly clean condo. We cannot wait to book again. Highly recommend!

Anne seriously thought of everything- from feminine products in the bathroom, ibuprofen in the drawer, tea in the cabinet- her attention to detail is unmatched and her place was just gorgeous. will definitely be back!

host was very responsive and even gave us resturants to try. 1 bedroom was very spacious everything was so clean and great , hubs said when we got there and saw the jacuzzi tub and was like is there no shower and I laughed and said it's over in the other bathroom. felt like I had my own bathroom space and he did too. would definitely stay again. was very close to all things we did.

We had a great time at the condo, especially sitting looking out over the river. The condo was well equipped and comfortable. Jess was very easy to deal with. A lovely stay.
