About this property

Newly Renovated Space for up to 12 in Ruston near LA Tech

Pennington House is a spacious 3-bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home on a quiet street 1.7 miles from La. Tech and 5 miles from Grambling University. This newly remodeled house features 2 large living areas and an updated kitchen. Enjoy watching a movie or the game in the open-plan den area, or enjoy a cup of tea with a book or conversation in the cozy living room. (Please note, the fireplaces are not currently functional.)

This home has bed space for up to 8 adults (or 6 adults and 4 children). There are additional sofas available for sleeping, and we welcome groups of up to 12 total. We also offer a pack-n-play, if needed. The primary suite features 1 king bed, a sitting area with a futon sofa, a large closet, and a private bathroom. The futon sleeps 1 teen/adult or 2 small children - and there is a curtain you can use to divide the 2 sleeping areas if helpful.

The first guest room features 1 queen bed, a large closet and dresser, and a desk - a nice option for those who might need to get some work done while traveling. The second guest room has 2 twin beds, a small closet, a make-up desk, and a large TV. This room is also great as a movie room - the daybeds and pillows can be used as sofas for comfy viewing. The living room has 2 sofas, one of which is a sleeper sofa. Linens are provided for the sleeper, and you are also welcome to use the other sofa as-is for an additional sleeping spot. The den has a large L-shaped sofa which may also be used as sleeping space. Sheets, blankets and pillows are available for the sofas. Please note, the 2 living spaces do not have doors, so do not offer privacy.

The primary bathroom has a shower without a tub. The full guest bathroom includes a shower with a tub and plenty of towels and hooks for everyone, The additional 1/2 bathroom adds convenience for large groups and is located just off the kitchen.

The large back yard contains a spacious covered patio with ceiling fans to enjoy some relaxation outdoors. Work is still being done on the landscaping, and we hope to offer additional amenities outside in the near future! We provide free WiFi, and we have TV's with Roku in the den and in each bedroom (just sign into your streaming accounts or use one of the free apps). There is a DVD player in the den that can be moved to guest rooms as needed as well. We also have lots of books and a few outdoor and indoor games and toys for family fun.

Pennington House is the former home of two Tech administrators, and the furnishings include many interesting and quirky antiques purchased on their travels. (But the mattresses are all brand new!) For those with mobility limitations, there are ramps for every step into and inside this one-story home.

About the host

Hosted by Paula Rodriguez

Host profile image
I am a Southern girl who has also lived in the far west, Midwest, and Texas. I love to travel, so when I inherited a house in Ruston, I wanted to help other travelers have a great place to stay.

Why they chose this property

The house belonged to my father and step-mother. It is in a quiet residential area very close to Louisiana Tech University. It used to be out in the country, but as happens everywhere, the town has grown up around it. It is still very peaceful, though.

What makes this property unique

My father and step-mom loved to travel the US and pick up unusual and quirky antiques. We have been able to keep most of those in the house, along with adding more modern sofas and beds. It is a unique combination of the old and the new. The entire house has also been renovated to bring it into the 21st century.
