Guest Access:

Guests will have privacy and full access to the entire house with the exception of one storage closet.

Access is via a secure lockbox or smart lock system. Arrival details will be sent once the rental agreement, ID verification, and security deposit or damage waiver are completed.

While the home offers complete privacy, your hosts are just a message away should you need anything before or during your stay. We respect your privacy but are always happy to assist—whether it’s local tips, help with something unexpected, or a quick check-in. Our goal is to make your time here smooth, stress-free, and as comfortable as possible.

Guest Rental Agreement, Security Deposit, & ID Verification

All guests must complete a Guest Rental Agreement, ID verification, and Security Deposit before receiving arrival instructions.

Security Deposit Options:

Refundable $1,500 security hold (a pending transaction, not a traditional deposit)

Non-refundable damage waiver alternative ($50 for up to 10 nights, plus $3 per additional night beyond 10)

We understand that security deposits can feel like an added hassle, so the waiver option provides peace of mind for both you and us, covering common accidental damages—such as a spilled drink or broken dish—without requiring a large hold.

To make this process easy, we use Happy Guest, a secure, app-free platform. You don’t need to sign up for an account—it’s simply a safe website that also gives you a guest portal with home details and curated local recommendations.

House Rules:
- No pets. Unauthorized pets will result in a $250 per-pet fee.
- No smoking or vaping. This is strictly a smoke-free property. A $1,000 cleaning fee will be charged for violations.
- Noise Policy: Please respect quiet hours from 10 PM – 8 AM. This is a peaceful, scenic area, and we ask guests to be considerate of the neighborhood.

Weather Notice

Louisiana weather can be unpredictable. While we do our best to prepare, we cannot be held responsible for delays, power outages, storms, or other unforeseen events outside our control. Refunds will not be issued for weather-related events, utility interruptions, or other circumstances beyond our influence. We recommend purchasing travel insurance for added peace of mind.

At The Bluehouse, you’ll find more than a place to stay—you’ll find room to breathe, relax, and feel at ease. Whether you're here for a few nights or a few weeks, we’d love to welcome you.

Comfortable and homey

We had a wonderful stay in Robert. It was a lovely home with plenty of room to spread out as a family of 5. Having two full bathrooms was definitely a plus for getting ready in the mornings. The kitchen was well equipped and it was nice to have two dining spaces. We would definitely stay here again!

Comfortable & great location

The house was perfectly located for us - close to where we were going, but just outside of town in a peaceful, quiet area away from the traffic. The house itself was very comfortable, very roomy, and nicely furnished - even has a covered carport which is very handy in south Louisiana! Will definitely consider staying here again.

For the game

My son had a football game and we needed a place to lay our heads for one night. This place was so amazing we wish we booked an extra night. It’s super clean and homey. I recommend booking extra day to take it in.

Could have been a great stay but went downhill fast

First of all let me say the home was as described and was very comfortable and I think would have been a 5 star stay . I want to say the host Thomas was extremely nice but unfortunately it seems we had to deal with the property manager. When we checked into the property there was no electricity and there was trash thrown around the outside of the carport plus various articles left on the floor inside the home. I did contact the property manager and let them know and they were quick to clean up the mess. The major issue I had is I found out the power was out way before our check-in and they didn't tell us about it. When we did get there I had to call and find out what was going on. At that time they told me they weren't sure when the power may come back on but it would definitely be another day. Unfortunately we had brought fish and other groceries to feed a party of five over the next couple days . We also ended up not being able to charge our phones so had no communication after a few hours at the property which being remote could have been a dangerous situation . We ended up tossing over $100 worth of food and then still had to eat our meals out because there was no certainty when the power would actually come back on.. it ended up being over 24 hours and the home was absolutely broiling due to the 98° temperatures and there were no fans or even candles on the property. There never was an alternative or a refund sent as is stated in vrbo policies.
