About this property
Detached Cottage In A Rural Woodsy Neighborhood.
One bedroom (king size tempurpedic bed), one full bathroom, kitchen (refrigerator, sink, microwave, coffee maker, granite countertops), washer/dryer, wood ceramic tile floors, a screened porch, your own WIFI, etc., roughly 800 square feet.
Built as a detached guesthouse, it was recently renovated for a college student to live in for a year.
She's moved out and it's now vacant.
The cottage is located in my back yard. I live on a 1.5 acre, wooded lot. Although it is in the backyard, there is plenty of space and privacy. You won't notice us and we won't notice you (unless you want us to).
We are primarily set up to comfortably host two guests, but we have a high quality, self inflating, queen size air mattress in the cottage. So we could sleep up to 4 people, although I wouldn’t recommend it for a long stay.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Great stay in a very nice neighborhood. The cottage is private and the owner communicates good, is timely and responsive. I stayed for a few months on business.
My grandson and his wife stayed here while searching for a home to purchase in the area. They said it was perfectly clean, comfortable and safe. I was lucky to have found this week and if it had been available longer, I would have reserved another week.
From the moment I stepped in the cottage it felt like home! I was lucky enough to find this gem for an extended stay (10 weeks) and I’m so glad that I did! The cottage is located in a quiet neighborhood, but still pretty close to everything. I was always very comfortable in the cottage and Bethard’s were the perfect hosts! I would recommend the cottage to anyone, whether you are looking for a weekend getaway or something a little longer you won’t be disappointed!

Charming cottage perfect for any stay
We stayed three nights in this adorable little back house and wish we could have stayed longer. It has everything a couple or small family like ours needs. The setting feels fully private and everything from the bed(s) to the hot shower is beyond comfortable and cozy. If you’re looking for an alternative to a cold hotel room and like the quiet of a semi-rural neighborhood, book this spot for your next visit to Shreveport. You’ll be happy you did.

Perfect Quiet Cottage
The Rural Woods Cottage is located in a great location , the neighborhood is just far enough out of town but close to everything you need. Ben is a joy to work with, we have stayed there a couple times now and will continue to book the cottage any time we go to the area.
This cottage really has the potential to be a hit. A few things are lacking to make it functional but the owner is aware of those and taking steps to make it perfect.

Very nice, but a little smaller in proximity to the main house than I thought.
Communication was good with Ben. They were very accommodating and helpful. Very nice family.

Cozy & Quiet
We stayed for several nights while my husband fished a bass tournament on the Red River. The owners were sweet and accommodating. It is in a quiet, safe and lovely neighborhood where I felt comfortable going for a walk alone . The cottage has cooking facilities, a refrigerator, washer & dryer and queen bed. It is also close to restaurants, grocery stores and malls (5-10 min drive). We would stay here again.
