Cozy Cottage with Guest House, Gazebo and Deck

Cozy Cottage with a separate guest house is in the country near Abita Brewery, wineries, Lake Ponchartrain, and a short drive to New Orleans. This historic barge board cottage on private property has a covered gazebo, wraparound screened-in porch, outdoor deck and walking paths through the woods to see foliage, squirrels, and birds. One of the features I love most and guests constantly refer to is the huge screened wraparound porch -- a great space for listening to birdsong and admiring the beauty of the woods. Look for the cardinals who will come to visit in the azaleas along the side of the porch. Ample parking. Nice set up for guests who need two separate areas since the guest house sports its own porch, two bedrooms, and a full bath. Kitchen is fully stocked with all you need to prepare a gourmet dinner or something simple to enjoy on the deck or screen porch. There are four bedrooms: two in the main house and two in the guest house. The main house front bedroom contains a double bed to accommodate two guests and the back bedroom offers a queen bed for two guests. There are three twin beds in the guest house to accommodate three guests. Both buildings have a full bath.

Sweet Retreat

We visited Louisiana for a graduation, the house had more than enough space. Like a secluded retreat tucked away, but very close to everything you need. No complaints. The porch was a treat at the end of the night. Very comfortable beds. Very clean.

Quaint and Kozy

Our experience overall was great! We were pleased that all was in order and ready for use.We enjoyed excellent privacy and convenient access in all directions to places we planned to visit. We had all the conveniences we have at home. There was an abundance of space to enjoy. We'll consider staying at the Cozy Cottage when we visit the area again as we do have family in the area. Thanks again Miss Merry.

QUIET, LOVELY HOUSE!

The host Merry was super informative and kept us in the loop when is SNOWED in Louisiana (never happens). All was good at the house though thank goodness. Easy directions to get in. The heat worked fantastic (not always the case in older homes) and the bed was super comfortable. We are going back in December and are going to book this house again!
