This was a birthday trip for my mom’s 66th - at her request & it couldn’t have been any better! The house is clean and the layout is great. Host is wonderful-extremely communicative, thoughtful touches everywhere. We caught crabs & catfish on the dock, enjoyed sunrises & sunsets on the porch. Location impeccable - far enough away from NO but within a short drive. Do the Honey Island Swamp Tour! Thank you, Colette! We will be back.

The house was just as described with all the necessities needed for a great time. The locations was perfect. Just outside of the city but close enough to all the action. The games and fishing gear were an added plus. Hight recommend a stay here.

Wonderful Place

We had a great time visiting family in Louisianna. There was plenty of room for us to visit and so much to do. The games on the lower level are awesome. And sitting on the dock was so relaxing. The house is very clean and well stocked and close to a lot of fun activities and hikes.

The camp

We had a fun time at the camp. We went fishing in the neighboring waterways, boiled some seafood, used the crab traps, played corn hole was a plus, and hope to go back for a longer trip.

Great fishing and location to Slidell and New Orleans

Great house for our family of five! 2 college students and 18 yr old high schooler loved all games on ground level! We grilled using charcoal grill and gas grill! House is well stocked with anything you need. Loved having 3 bathrooms. We enjoyed St. Patrick’s Parade in New Orleans.

Wedding at the Sadie Jane

Nice place! Only 10-15 minutes to Slidell for restaurants and stores. Just staying at the property had so much to do. The me. Enjoyed fishing while the women sat and relaxed in the cool breeze. We played darts, corn hole and one person tried kayaking. Fun place to stay.

Amazing Stay

Colette’s property was exactly what we needed! The house sits on a beautiful property right on the water! We enjoyed kayaking, fishing, crabbing, and playing all of the available games! The host did a fabulous job of thinking of the details (there were even phone chargers!) and included some Louisiana goodies for our enjoyment! It’s a super convenient location to New Orleans and the local Honey Island Swamp tour, as well as plenty of restaurants and shopping. We would definitely visit again!!

Girls Trip 2024

my daughter and niece went to the Taylor Swift concert and we did not want t stay in NOLA, so we looked for a place that was a short drive and would give us peace and relaxation when we came back from our day trips to NOLA. We could not have asked for a better house to call home for 4 night 5 day stay. The water brings its own entertainment, the great areas below the house gave us so much to do in our down time. The space and 3 bathrooms were a huge bonus!!

First time in New Orleans

While this was the first time coming to New Orleans this Arabian property was awesome.the house was very accommodating to the needs of 6 friends everything. Was beautiful from the sunrise to Sun down having the dogs outside? Just to sit in relax and feel the nice cool breeze. There was also things that we could use far as a kayak crabbing. We also brought fishing Poles. It was just a very private and nice touch to be in a way from home. Holes was very accommodating may sure that everything was in place that when we arrived. It was easy access to the property not having to scuffle around to make sure everything was OK houses very clean needs sanitized it had seems to play. Have 3 bathrooms 3 nice bedroom rooms? Kitchen was very nice came fully stop with all things that you would need as if you were really at home.

I wish I could give this VRBO 10 stars. We had our check-in details plenty of time in advance. Communication with the host was amazing. Unfortunately, the day we came in we had storms coming in. However, Mrs. Colette warned us in plenty of time the next morning of the tornado warning and communicated with me the entire time explaining everything about the house, the swaying (that was normal). That is what it is built for. Made going through the storm a lot less scary. The amenities included in the stay were great. There was a grill for grilling, a boiling pot for the crawfish, crabs, etc., propane tanks provided to grill and boil. There were also crab traps provided so we could catch our crabs right from the dock in the yard. There was disc frisbee, cornhole, washers, darts and so much more. You will not be bored here. Always, something to do. The house itself was spacious, 3 bedrooms with plenty of beds, 3 bathrooms. This was a great all around rental. I could go on and on but until you rent it and find out for yourself. You are missing out! Thank you again for allowing us to enjoy your home for our vacation. 1000% will go back.
