Delightful and charming

The cottage was wonderfully furnished & comfortable. Be sure to take the plantation tour and spend time exploring the property while there. A taste of Louisiana history not to be missed. Loved it!

Fun last night in Nola!

After 5 nights near the french quarter, we decided to unwind for our last night. The corttage fit the bill. Nice and quiet, well stocked and almost like a mini adventure. The tour in the morning was informative. Great stop on our vacation!

Great little getaway

The cottage was perfect for one or two people. I just stayed one night but it was all I needed. The tour of the house was amazing! Ann was the best tour guide. Nice to have a discount tour ticket with the cottage. Very lovely stay.

Very unique, quiet setting! Felt like you should be time warped back in time. The plantation tour was fantastic and the guide was very informative!! The only issue I had was the sheets didn’t appear changed and the outer shower curtain had a questionable stain on it.

Take some rest before to arrive to NOLA

The site was very nice, and we had the opportunity to visit the outdoors museum and have a guide tour the next morning before leaving . The cabin was clean, cute, and very county- stile, but it was a pity that the furniture may not be moved, so we could not eat comfortably in the table. On the other hand, I recommend the property owners to update the pictures on the website or to paint the cabin's outsides to look better.

Pissed customer

Checked in late at night and could not find the building or driveway. Every GPS app on my phone gave me a different entrance to the property. I had to flag down a Sheriff’s officer after midnight to find to house. The driveway was hard to find too. It was 90 during the day that day and I walk into the house to the heat set at 82 to fan on blowing hot air. The directions provided were very short, just the gate code and lock box code.
