Waterfront The Red Camp at Lake Bistineau

About 45 minutes from Shreveport/Bossier City, our lake house is located on a quiet curve of Lake Bistineau, known for its Spanish Moss-draped cypress trees and lovely sunsets.

Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries began the annual drawdown to control the salvinia weed on July 29. There is always water in view of the house and we drag the kayaks to the water's edge to use them. It is also fun to walk in the lake bed once it is dry1

Also, check our Shades of Blue house right next door if you need space for a larger group!

80th Birthday
The two adjoining properties were perfect for our family gathering to celebrate an 80th birthday. Our group ranged from 9-82 years old and everyone had a great time and enjoyed the accommodations.

Short weekend getaway
We chose this place to stay for my cousins wedding. The owner was very responsive and comforting. She baked up home made cookies to start which were delicious. The house was smaller than we thought but was very quaint and homey. The one down side is the lack of curtains on all the windows, but it could also take away from all the natural light. All in all, we would 100% book this house again. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quick getaway with a very caring host.

Beautiful historic property, stunning location
Our family had an amazing visit, despite the weather, and made some great memories here. Mary provided everything we needed, and then some. Know that it is an old house, and that’s part of it’s charm, so there are some rustic, quirky elements to be expected. If you don’t mind that the bathroom is downstairs while the beds are upstairs, you’ll have a great time. If you happen to be a light sleeper, and have traveling companions who go to the bathroom during the night, you may want to have them sleep downstairs on the sofa sleeper or bring an air mattress, just to keep from making trips up and down, and potentially waking other sleepers. Otherwise, A++ Everything you could possibly need for a good, relaxing time on the lake, it’s all here!

Great Little Place
We loved this place! Great hidden gem. Our group loved the screened In porch and the fishing on the dock in the evening and night. Great place for us to hang out with our family. Mary was great at communicating and offering solutions. We had a power outage and Mary reached out immediately to make sure all was well. Property was clean and peaceful.

Beautiful Place to stay! Mary is a wonderful host. If you needed anything she has it there. We had a wonderful time celebrating Easter with friends and family. The kids enjoyed the lake and there's so much room and things to do. Not a dull moment, such a great place to get away

Ms. Mary is a Fabulous host! She thought of EVERYTHING!!! She was at the property to give us a walk through to explain the boat house, etc....and of course she left Her FABULOUS Chocolate Chip Cookies in the Fridge for us! When the weather unexpectedly got a little chilly, there was Ms. Mary with a heater! She works like a turk on the property to make everything nice and appealing. I HIGHLY recommend the Little Red Cottage! Thank you Ms. Mary for all you did to make us feel welcome and at home (away from home)!
