This property was great and exactly what we were hoping. We were greeted at checkin and shown the property. Henry was great to work with during the stay and he even helped show us how to crab while we were there. Could not have asked for a better Place or experience than this!

Halloween Fun

The location was great! It was far enough away from the city to be quiet, relaxing and even secluded with excellent fishing. The host made everything so easy and smooth and the house was clean, roomy and charmingly inviting. We didn't want to leave!

NOLA Trip

We were a group of 5 guys who get together annually. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Henry (out host) was superb and very responsive. Would recommend this place to anyone wanting to avoid staying in the city. It's about an 35 minute drive went you wish to head into the city.

Wonderful Retreat

Excellent property with a very attentive host! Couldn’t have asked for anything better for a quick little retreat. If you’re a fisher, bring your pole and bait because the fish literally jump out of the water at night!

Relaxing stay on the water

My husband and I greatly enjoyed our stay at Henry and Petra’s property. The house has an amazing waterfront view that will give you the most memorable sunsets, along with great wildlife sightings as well. Also, It is far enough away from the stress of the city that you can relax. The hosts were wonderful as well. During my stay Henry kept in touch to make sure everything was going great and to alert me of any storms or answer any questions I had. If I were to come back to Louisiana, I would definitely stay here again.

A top favorite rental!

Out of five stars I would give this rental a 10! The owners were so great to work with and very accommodating! The house was beautiful! It was so peaceful and quiet not being right in the city. Sitting on the deck and getting to see gators swim by was amazing! I would highly recommend renting from Henry and Petra!

Secluded getaway right on the bayou!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed the upper and lower decks and the fishing! The interior of the house was even roomier than we expected and equipped with all the necessary supplies. We had a couple of issues with the A/C but Henry was easy to contact and prompt to have someone out to fix it.

Very large House!

The house was much larger than I thought it would be. There were several large cob-webs on the ceiling but overall the house was very clean. We had beautiful sunset views from the very large deck on the back of the house. Would gladly stay again and recommend. Thank you!

Great stay off the beaten path!

It was a great stay for us visiting New Orleans. The location was an easy drive to the French Quarter, Bourbon Street, etc. It is definitely off the beaten path, so stock up all your supplies beforehand. Old fish camp feel with modern twist! If you fish, bring a boat! The docks were awesome to fish and crab from. Would definitely visit again at a cooler time. Abundant wildlife! 15 foot gator hanging out a round dock. Dont swim!!! Eat fish!

getaway

Property is what we were looking for. We wanted to stay out of the craziness of the city yet be close enough to drive in. It is about a 25 to 30 minute drive to most of the tourist attractions. Slidell is about 20 minute drive the other way, would highly recommend Honey Island Swamp Tour! Kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. House was clean upon check-in. Bed in master was really comfy! Very secluded, right on the water with a handful of other fish camps. We enjoyed sitting on the deck, watching the birds and searching the canal for wildlife. Crab traps and fishing rods were readily available for use. Owner was easily reached and responded quickly to a question.

We Made so Many Wonderful Memories Here

My fiancé and I invited our friends from Montana to come with us to New Orleans for the first time and we chose this wonderful place as our vacation getaway. As soon as we walked in the house, we were blown away by how spacious and beautiful it was. Pictures just do not do it justice. When we had some issues with the TV, the owner came our immediately and fixed it for us. He was really easy to get ahold of and he was fun to talk to. When we visited the french quarter it was so stressful we said we would never go back. So instead of touring new orleans the way we originally planned, we went crabbing and fishing every day and even had an authentic southern boil with the crab we caught. We had a wonderful time here and made so many memories. One thing I will add is the water smelled funny, but it's just because of the well water. So, if you're not used to it (like our Montana friends) it can be a bit much at first, but overall it was a fantastic vacation and it didn't take away from the experience. Thanks again for everything you did for us. We had a blast!

About the host

Hosted by Petra Guste

Host profile image
I am a New Orleans native that loves the outdoors as much as the city. My family loves the quick trip to escape the city and enjoy our "Sportsman's Paradises", one of Louisiana's nicknames. One of my many joys is watching my children play on the water while catching fish, blue crabs or kayaking. It's so nice to see them detached. Truth be told, it is nice that I detach with them.

Why they chose this property

If you want beautiful waterfront views, with very few neighbors, this is your place. We are nestled in Bayou Savage National wildlife refuge. It is conveniently located near Lake's Pontchartrain, Saint Catherine, Borgne as well as the rigolets. A boat launch is just .5 miles away. We have connections with local fishing guides that will pick you up on the dock.

What makes this property unique

As much as we anticipate you will want to enjoy being on the water, we are conveniently 25 minutes from the French Quarter and Louisiana's famous cuisine. There are only a few places this close to the city of New Orleans. In addition to all the things you can do at the property, golf, museums, city park, shopping are near by.
