Private, fire pit on the river!

5 min from Covington, 40 minutes from New Orleans, 15 minutes from tubing excursions, zoo's & 30 from swamp tours and much more. As you pass over our bridge and meander down the winding drive you let your cares go. The property is healing grounds for most. The vivid forest surrounds you and your relaxation begins as you look into gardens of gardenias, azaleas, camellias, large magnolia trees and fruit trees. Walk two minutes to our private beach. Grilling is a favorite activity while your nestled in the trees watching the sunset. Coffee time is magnificent on the front porch while listening to the birds and watching the squirrels scurry thru the trees. Whether you're here to hike, read a book or family time you will enjoy all the amenities. The kitchen has a drawer full of many favorite herbs. The 2 burner stove with prep sink and range make it easy for 2 to prepare meals. Spacious bathrooms and comfy beds make for a nice stay and restful sleep. If you would like to host a small event please inquire by message. You are sure to enjoy.

The property itself was very nice as was the house. We did have some trouble getting inside when we first arrived. The house was mostly clean but there was old pizza left in the oven from previous renters. Also, we found out the place was double booked but luckily the other party let us stay.

Girls weekend

The property is secluded which was nice. There was a sock left behind by someone else which was a little odd and the floors need replacing, but other than that it was a nice, cozy atmosphere and we enjoyed pur stay.
