Cute & Country
Such a cute house in the country! It would be perfect if you needed to bring a pet with plenty of yard to run around in. And Karen was very accommodating and responsive to any questions. I also loved the quiet location!

Nice place to stay
It was a nice house, great privacy and really enjoyed having a full kitchen
Very comfortable house with everything you need, including a fully stocked kitchen. The host is easy to communicate with and very responsive. We had a wonderful stay and would love to stay again when we're in the area. So much better than a hotel room!

The property is a great place! We stayed there on our way to New Orleans to get on our cruise... They where the best property owners ever!!!! We decided to do a crawfish boil and the property owners offered to let us barrow there pot and cooker,which was amazingly nice and then offered to cook it for us!! They where the sweetest people ever. I could not have asked for better!

Nice country escape
Nice place to get away for a short trip. Ample space and comfortable accommodations. It will be much nicer once it’s completed the construction process, no floor thresholds which leaves slipping pieces of flooring in the halls so be careful walking.
