About this property
Cozy Cottage with Guest House, Gazebo and Deck
Cozy Cottage with separate guest house in the country near Abita Brewery, wineries, Lake Ponchartrain, and a short drive to New Orleans. This historic barge board cottage on private property has a covered gazebo, wraparound screened-in porch, outdoor deck and walking paths through the woods to see foliage, squirrels, and birds. Great place to experience the beauty of the wooded landscape and get away from it all. Ample parking. Nice set up for guests who need two separate areas. Kitchen is fully stocked with all you need to prepare a gourmet dinner or something simple to enjoy on the deck or screen porch. There are four bedrooms: two in the main house and two in the guest house. The main house front bedroom contains a double bed to accommodate two guests and the back bedroom offers a queen bed for two guests. There are three twin beds in the guest house to accommodate three guests. Both buildings have a full bath.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Merry
I'm a native New Orleanian who bought the cottage in 2004, the year before Hurricane Katrina. The cottage was a dump! but bravely sustained little damage during that major storm, and I've renovated and added to it over the course of the years.
Why they chose this property
This is a historic nineteenth century cottage with its original heart of pine floors and barge board walls; there are no studs so outlets and switches are positioned on door frames, window frames, or baseboards. The character of the cottage shows in its deep window frames and original wavy glass windows. In restoring the cottage, I chose to maintain as much of the original charm as possible while updating for twenty-first century living. There is an original artesian well that still flows but the house has its own more modern well with a water treatment system which services the house.
What makes this property unique
To be able to retreat to a beautifully wooded and landscaped property with something blooming almost all the time is one of the unique charms of this special place.
