Cozy Cottage with Guest House, Gazebo and Deck

Cozy Cottage with a separate guest house is in the country near Abita Brewery, wineries, Lake Ponchartrain, and a short drive to New Orleans. This historic barge board cottage on private property has a covered gazebo, wraparound screened-in porch, outdoor deck and walking paths through the woods to see foliage, squirrels, and birds. One of the features I love most and guests constantly refer to is the huge screened wraparound porch -- a great space for listening to birdsong and admiring the beauty of the woods. Look for the cardinals who will come to visit in the azaleas along the side of the porch. Ample parking. Nice set up for guests who need two separate areas since the guest house sports its own porch, two bedrooms, and a full bath. Kitchen is fully stocked with all you need to prepare a gourmet dinner or something simple to enjoy on the deck or screen porch. There are four bedrooms: two in the main house and two in the guest house. The main house front bedroom contains a double bed to accommodate two guests and the back bedroom offers a queen bed for two guests. There are three twin beds in the guest house to accommodate three guests. Both buildings have a full bath.

Merry is an excellent host! This was our 2nd time staying at her lovely home. Our nephew stayed in the guest house. It was great that he got to have some privacy. We stayed in the main house. The bed we slept in is super comfy. I loe that the house is away from the road. It's nice & quiet, just what we want on vacation!

Great stay north of New Orleans!! The pictures can't fully capture the authentic, comfortable, and quaint feel of this cottage in Louisiana. The area is beautiful and this property is conveniently located to allow full exploration of Lake Pontchartrain and New Orleans.The cottage (two cottages actually) is everything we had hoped for when looking for a property with a real Louisiana feel. Private without feeling isolated. Comfortable living space, exceptionally cozy beds, great bathrooms, easily-usable kitchen...and the grounds are spectacular! The wrap-around porch, gazebo, and deck all allowed for outdoor living...in February!!The owner is gracious, highly communicative and responsive to questions, and ensured that we were comfortable and having our needs met. We spent the entire month and would have stayed longer if we could! Looking forward to coming back soon!

Nice retreat

Beautiful little cottage suitable for parents to stay in the main house and children to stay in the guest house for their own space. Guest house smells a bit “funny” and fitting in a third cot is a bit of a stretch but, all in all, a good stay for us.
