We stayed during mardi gras. The most welcoming host I've ever experienced! Our family enjoyed time spent in this spacious home. There were plenty of rooms and each one had something special about it. Beautiful wallpaper, a swing(!), gorgeous armoires. We loved the private parking and ease of getting in and out of the neighborhood. There were bugs around the area, but it's the bayou, that's to be expected! We would def stay again if given the chance. P.S. thanks for the king cake!
The hosts gifted us a king cake during our stay.

Big holiday house with fishing pier, and great views over the bayou and the beautiful sky above. Clean, calm, perfect to relax - and the owners, Tee and Randal, are so neat and helpful. Thank you so much!! We went to New Orleans, Oak Alley and for a Swamp Tour with Zams Swamp Tours, petting Alligators - unforgetable 😀

Very cute and comfy

This is a very cute house in the bayou. It fit our group of four very comfortably. Tons of space for a group to spread out inside. Around the outside, there are a few beautiful flower gardens, and plenty of places to sit. The host Randal was always available via text, which I really appreciate. Thank you for the lovely stay.

Accommodating & Restful

We felt safe in the location and did not feel an overwhelming desire to lock the doors. The layout of the home allowed any of the five guest to gather as a group or to have privacy when desired. It was easily assessable to New Orleans and other areas of interest. The house was well stocked with towels and linens, soaps and lotion, trash bags, coffee and even a welcoming gift of homemade pralines, On Christmas day she also gave us a basket of home-grown tomatoes and a jar of pepper jelly. they also allowed us to pick the oranges from the orange tree in the yard and take them home as a parting gift. Of all the properties we have rented these owners were the first we had ever met. They are friendly, readily available if we needed anything and were on target with suggesting a restaurant, giving excellent directions. We had an enjoyable stay and would not hesitate to stay again.
