    Strawberry Festival Visit

    I grew up a block from this property and loved being able to walk to everything like I did back then. This was the perfect location for the festival! The cottage was cute and plenty of space for the 2 of us. Yes there is a train but I knew that and there wasn’t an issue…bring a sound machine Prime location! Clean and very responsive! Would stay again. Only suggestion would be to have a mirror in the bedroom (maybe on the back of door) as well since bathroom is smaller and the shower was difficult to find the hot water spot just right (between 2-3 is the sweet spot).

    Ponchatoula Cottage

    Very disappointed with the entire stay! The master bedroom had a 4.5 ft high bed with a horrible mattress. The bed was so big it took up most of the room. Had to turn sideways just to try to get into bed. To get into bed you had to turn sideways a flop into it and then try to push over. We actually needed a step stool or latter to get in bed and one was not provided!The living room funiture was like sitting on floor. The double futton had a broken electrical pulg sticking out that caught my hand.The shower and kitchen were very good. The toilet was again like sitting on the floor! It was advertised with washer and dryer but that was in a beat up old out building that you had to walk on grass to get to it!! The patio was filthy with a grill on it tat had not been cleaned in years! There was a rusted fan hanging by wires and some kind of electrical wiring in a socket!! The cottage is very close to train track and trains ran all day!! We had a most miserable time! I woul nevery stay again!! The description on VRBO with pictures is nothing like it really was!! Horrible and I will never use VRBO again!!! It was a rip off!!

    A Quaint Place for a Getaway

    This cabin was so cozy and cute. I especially loved being near the railroad track. I love trains and this was the first time for me seeing a passenger train! There were plenty of towels, linens, dishes, and utensils.We were there during the annual Strawberry Festival and were able to walk to the event. The host was easy to contact and very friendly.

    Rocky start

    Great place except for walkway to stair entrance. Path to the entry is treacherous. We were lucky that we didn't sprain an ankle or twist a knee. Pavers are unstable and ground looked as though a large excavation job had been done and not repaired. We arrived after dark and had to be very careful getting our items into the unit.

    Cozy Little Cottage

    My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our short stay. The cottage was clean, cozy, and well equipped. Wifi was fast, water was always hot, and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. The king size bed was extremely comfortable. The location is quiet. All in all, it was perfect for some R&R. I gave 4 stars for the checkin process because we didn't receive the door code until after we arrived, which is something that is usually sent with the address. I messaged the owner and received a quick response. Thank you for sharing your beautiful little cottage with us!
