Very unique, quiet setting! Felt like you should be time warped back in time. The plantation tour was fantastic and the guide was very informative!! The only issue I had was the sheets didn’t appear changed and the outer shower curtain had a questionable stain on it.

Pissed customer

Checked in late at night and could not find the building or driveway. Every GPS app on my phone gave me a different entrance to the property. I had to flag down a Sheriff’s officer after midnight to find to house. The driveway was hard to find too. It was 90 during the day that day and I walk into the house to the heat set at 82 to fan on blowing hot air. The directions provided were very short, just the gate code and lock box code.

Fun last night in Nola!

After 5 nights near the french quarter, we decided to unwind for our last night. The corttage fit the bill. Nice and quiet, well stocked and almost like a mini adventure. The tour in the morning was informative. Great stop on our vacation!

Great little getaway

The cottage was perfect for one or two people. I just stayed one night but it was all I needed. The tour of the house was amazing! Ann was the best tour guide. Nice to have a discount tour ticket with the cottage. Very lovely stay.

Take some rest before to arrive to NOLA

The site was very nice, and we had the opportunity to visit the outdoors museum and have a guide tour the next morning before leaving . The cabin was clean, cute, and very county- stile, but it was a pity that the furniture may not be moved, so we could not eat comfortably in the table. On the other hand, I recommend the property owners to update the pictures on the website or to paint the cabin's outsides to look better.

Cozy Home Away From HoE

We loved our stay at this little cottage! Learning it’s history was quite interesting! From the outside it looked so tiny but the space inside was more than ample! The bed was very comfortable and fridge came in handy for water. We could not have asked for a better place to stay during our trip. We enjoyed our tour of the plantation and walking the grounds. Walking the levy is enjoyable as well. I agree with a previous reviewer some rocking chairs on the porch would be lovely. Close drive to New Orleans. Recommend taking HWY 61 or 48 vs the interstate. You drive slower on the highways but with the stress and traffic of the interstate it takes the same amount of time. Property owner was very quick to get back to us with any information. Overall we HIGHLY this place to couples coming to the area.
