The neighborhood
Located on Bayou Bonfouca in the center of town. Scenic waterways abound and there is quite a bit of wildlife even in this location. Laze the days away fishing from the dock, plenty of peace and relaxation if you want it. If not there's plenty to do--there is always something going on in Olde Towne from Mardi Grad parades passing right on Front St to food and arts festivals all year long. Conveniently centered in the Historic Olde Towne District of Slidell, only steps from a thriving community. Walking distance to Heritage Park, famous Palmettos Restaurant, Amtrak Station, Times Bar & Grill, Slidell Museum, antiques stores and restaurants. Visit the Arts District and upscale blues club, nearby Dew Drop Inn. Easy 30 minute drive to New Orleans without the hustle and bustle. Take the train over beautiful Lake Ponchartrain and scenic marshes to the Big Easy for an overnight visit. Plenty to do and see unless of course you just want to relax and you can do plenty of relaxing in the bungalow on a lazy morning, afternoon or evening.
Getting around
The Amtrak station is only a couple of blocks away. Other than that there is no public transportation, however, there are canoes and kayaks available for sightseeing on the historic, scenic bayou. There is also a major biking/walking/jogging trail called the St. Tammany Trace which extends along the entire Northshore of Lake Ponchartrain and Camp Salmen Nature Park, with nature walk, park, and playground.
