One night stay

Stayed here one night with my family on our way to New Orleans. Very cozy and enough room for 6 adults. We loved the privacy of being out of town but not too far out!

Wonderful getaway in the country but close to the interstate! Very peaceful

The communication between the host is perfect! The home is very spacious and well appointed and the two porch areas are super nice to enjoy the nature. The interior of the home was very clean (it’s an older home that has been VERY nicely redone). We had terrible weather this week, and the home was still fully accessible (no high water in the parking or drive).

Great stay

Loved so many things about this property. Great house on a beautiful property. Our family of 6 enjoyed our stay. There were a few things I would have changed, the master bedroom had a queen bed instead of a king as described in the listing and there were a few areas in the closets that looked like they werent cleaned as well as I’d expect. The pros: the property was gorgeous and private. It was easy to get in. We loved the porches and the house was nice and redone. We would stay again

Pit stop on the way to Florida

House was clean and beautifully decorated. Simple and easy to navigate. Beds were comfortable but could have used ceiling fans in the bedrooms. Bring fishing gear!
