Some places you visit. Family Ties is where your family arrives.

Welcome to Family Ties, a warm and thoughtfully designed waterfront home on beautiful False River—one of Louisiana’s most beloved lake destinations. With four bedrooms, three full bathrooms and room for up to 10 guests, it’s an easy place to gather for a fall lake weekend, an LSU/Southern game trip, a family celebration or simply a few quieter days together.

THE WATER IS YOUR BACKYARD

Stepoutside and False River is right there. A private pier stretches over the calm water—perfect for fishing off the edge, watching the sun go down or just sitting quietly while the kids wear themselves out.

The covered dock has a porch swing, Adirondack chairs and string lights that make it everyone’s favorite spot by the second night. A fire pit faces the water for cooler evenings that tend to run longer than anyone planned.

PORCHES, PATIOS AND ROOM TO BREATHE

The screened porch runs the full length of the back of the house, with both a dining table and a full sectional overlooking the water. The back patio has outdoor dining, a gas grill and garden beds that give the whole space a settled, cared-for feel.

There’s always somewhere to find your people—and always somewhere to slip away quietly with your coffee.

A KITCHEN MADE FOR REAL MEALS TOGETHER

The fully equipped kitchen has everything needed to cook for a crowd, including full-size appliances, a gas range, ample counter space and a dedicated coffee bar for slower mornings.

The dining table seats the whole family, and the open layout means whoever is cooking is never left out of the conversation.

EVERYONE SLEEPS WELL

Primary suite — king bed and private en suite with soaking tub and double vanity

Guest bedroom — king bed with access to a shared full bathroom

Guest bedroom — queen bed and private en suite

Bunk room — twin-over-twin and full-over-full bunks, ideal for the younger crowd

Three full bathrooms mean no one is waiting in line.

FALL ON FALSE RIVER

Fall brings cooler mornings, comfortable evenings by the fire and some of the best weather of the year for fishing, relaxing on the dock and enjoying the screened porch.

Family Ties also makes an inviting home base for LSU/Southern football weekends, local fall events and New Roads’ Harvest Festival. Spend the day exploring or cheering on your team, then come back to the lake, light the fire pit and settle in for the evening.

October dates are currently available, including select weekends.

THE DETAILS THAT MATTER

False River is a natural oxbow lake with calm water and no current, making it well suited for families enjoying time on the water. Local restaurants, grocery stores and boat launches are only minutes away.

A dedicated workspace with a desk and chair is available for anyone who needs to sneak in a few hours of work. EV charging is available in the carport using an upgraded Level 1 outlet; guests should bring their own charging cable.

We are happy to answer any questions before you book. Family Ties is well cared for, and we want your stay to be just as memorable as ours.

    The property is exactly as pictured. It is a well-kept home with everything you need for a comfortable stay. If there was one complaint it would be the dock could use a little more regular cleaning. There were lots of cobwebs and bird droppings but we just swept it off and enjoyed the scenery.

    The house was awesome, fully stocked, wonderful layout. Plenty of space and open, everyone had a place to lounge around. The screened in porch is perfect. We relaxed outside on the pier and swing most of the time. The kids swam and used the paddle boat. We grilled steaks and cooked a good bit. Kitchen was stocked and we had everything we needed! The host were always responsive and so nice. The sunsets are amazing.

    This property was so AMAZING!!!! The location, the beautiful scenery, and the details of the house was exquisite! We went here so that my sister can heal from breast surgery, and we could relax, kick back and enjoy the river, along with fishing; and we got more than we paid for. It's definitely a must return destination. Thank you to the host who put a special touch by leaving flowers with a get well soon, balloon. That touched us more than any words could ever say.

    Perfect for our family gathering. Several places within the home and outside for us to share laughs, meals, and family time. We enjoyed relaxing out on the screened porch area and watching the sunset from the pier. The steep driveway was unexpected but we managed. More than adequate parking given the size of our party.

    I can’t say enough wonderful things about this property. Beautiful inside and out. Amazing view of False River (we enjoyed our morning coffee on the pier) Plenty of room, comfortable furnishings (the pillows and sheets were divine), and well appointed kitchen.Would definitely return, again, and again, and again!!

    We had a great weekend in False River! For most of us, it was our first experience at an LSU game and needed a good place/location for the game. Ma Mamma’s is a great place for evening meal. Great food and perfect place to take a big group or just your special someone. The house was clean, spacious and provided everything and more for our group. I would definitely recommend this place for a great stay. Great communication by the owner too!!
