Welcome to The Nest at Eagle Bay Cove on Lake D'Arbonne where modern luxury meets lakeside living. COMPLETELY renovated in 2024, this home has it all! From 3 ensuite bedrooms with high quality mattresses and luxury bedding to commercial grade appliances, a large game room, outdoor kitchen, private pool, boathouse, and 2 amazing decks overlooking the lake and pool. Whether you're seeking relaxation, adventure, or both, The Nest provides the perfect setting for an unforgettable getaway!

THE SPACE:
Spacious 3 bedroom, 3 bath home comfortably sleeps 11.

Two large Roku TV's in living room and game room downstairs. The game room has shuffleboard, ping pong, Pac Man, Galaga, and corn hole.

Outdoor kitchen is under covered patio and is equipped with gas and charcoal grills, sink, mini fridge, and outdoor table with seating.

Boathouse includes 2 boat slips(public boat ramp only minutes away), sun/fishing deck and kayaks for your enjoyment. WARNING: NO DIVING from boathouse deck or seawall!! Children must be supervised at all times. swim at your own risk.

And last but not least, our favorite spots are the 2 expansive decks . The poolside deck is perfect for sunrises while enjoying morning coffee, listening to song birds and feeling cool breezes off the lake. The back deck is just as inviting with comfortable outdoor furniture surrounding the fire pit. It is a great place to "wine" down in the evenings, watch herons, eagles, and ospreys in nature and recap your day.

Pool is not heated and is open April 1-Oct. 18th.

This is a vacation home for us as well. and we stay as often as we can. Therefore, the cabinets are well stocked with seasonings and most condiments that you are welcome to use!

Absolutely perfect location on the lake! The house is very nice and has a fully stocked kitchen. Super comfortable beds, too. Tons of fish from the dock as well!! The boys fish from the dock and use the kayaks to fish around the area all day long! Easy to communicate throughout the entire stay. We’ve stayed at several properties on the lake and this one is our favorite.

Amazing

The house had everything we needed for the weekend! We brought our fishing boat and pontoon. The location on the lake was the best we’ve ever had. Right on big water. The kids loved the kayaks! Becky did a great job communicating. Would absolutely stay here again.

Escape to the Lake

My family and I have stayed at a few VRBO properties and this one was, by far, the best. Everything about it was pleasant…comfortable beds, incredible showers, a kitchen with top of the line appliances. Nestled in the woods facing the lake, this property was serene. The owner was lovely to communicate with. My husband recently passed away and I needed a bit of an escape. I spent the first half of this trip with my adult children and the last half with just my sister. I woke up early every morning and watched the sun slowly rise on the water. I came home from this trip feeling more settled. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to spend a few days at this beautiful place and recommend it without hesitation.
