    Adorable cabin! Came for my son’s karate competition and decided to make a little weekend retreat. The house was so cute and and had great little personal touches that made it like home away from home.

    This was our second stay at this property in the last month. It is beautiful to watch the sunrise over the lake. It is very quiet with plenty of wildlife on the lake. This property is newly remodeled inside and is perfect. I highly recommend this property. The check-in process in the property manager was very smooth and she is extremely nice.

    Red Dirt Retreat was the perfect home away from home for our family while playing in a week long softball tournament in Ruston! Everything was so clean, comfy beds, peaceful backyard, great walk-in showers! We will definitely stay here again!

    My fiancé and I stayed at the Red Dirt Retreat for a quick weekend getaway and could not have been happier. The house was very pretty, spotless, and had everything we needed. The spot on the lake was beautiful and we even caught some fish. My only regret is that we did not stay longer. We will definitely be back.

    The red dirt retreat was a beautiful atmosphere that provided a lot of fun for me and my group of friends! Me and the girls spent our days grilling out on the back patio, tanning in the big yard, baking in the kitchen, and more! At night we cozied up and did each others nails and sat around the living room hanging out. The place itself was very spacious and had everything we needed in terms of toiletries, kitchen appliances, and comfort! I highly recommend if you’re looking for a good weekend getaway with family or friends to stay in this comfy and friendly atmosphere!

    This was a beautiful lake house for our family getaway! An inviting relaxed space, recently renovated, and extremely clean! Parking was easy, and the house had everything we needed and more for our stay. Very comfortable beds (pillows were stellar, a bonus for sure, leave yours home!) and peaceful evenings. I especially enjoyed picturesque views of the lake for breakfast coffee and dinner sunsets. Host was easy, clear, and responsive. We can’t wait to get back to Lake D’Arbonne and will be sure to stay here!
