Awesome Location & Super Clean

This beautiful cottage is in a great location and was super clean! We were attending a festival in downtown Houma and it was very close and in a great neighborhood. The location offers quick access to all the great restaurants the area offers. The owners were great to rent from and were very friendly and hospitable. Would highly recommend this rental and would certainly stay again in we want to visit the area again.

My husband and I came to Houma for a wedding and the backyard cozy cottage was perfect for us! Everything was so cute and clean! I enjoyed having my coffee while enjoying the lovely backyard area. We highly recommend a stay at the cozy cottage! Also....do not miss out on a swamp tour with the swamp man in Gibson LA. Thanks for a great stay!
