Short LA Stay

My daughter and I stayed here while in town for her softball tournament in Hammond. The home was very cozy and spacious. She is very accommodating and provides several extra amenities. It's within walking distance to the quaint town with several restaurants and stores. We will definitely be back.We were only there for a short time

Family travel

My youngest daughter and I traveled to Louisiana for the birth of a grandchild . Due to an unforeseen postnatal situation , we had to delay our departure. We then were fortunate enough to find this rental which was so comfortable and inviting . The hosts were formidable , rendering the whole experience very soothing. The home style atmosphere of this rental was truly a port in a storm . Thank you .I would definitely recommend this rental to anyone traveling to this area.

Home town favorite

I am originally from Ponchatoula, came home for Mardi Gras. Our host was in a parade we thought we were not going to be here in time for. They left goodie bags for us all. They were very help with every request. I will choose this home again.

Halloween with grandchildren

On 10/31/2024, we enjoyed an early arrival with two small pups. We relaxed in the lovely “Home away from Home ” before meeting our grandchildren for the big night. About a block from their home, the sky opened up. Although soaked & tired, we returned and slept wonderfully listening to the rain on the tin roof.
