Bonnabel Haus w/ Stocktank Pool ft. on DIY Network
Welcome to the Bonnabel Haus — A Joyful Southern Escape
This 1-bedroom, 1-bath cottage is more than just a place to stay — it's a little piece of Louisiana history. Featured on Louisiana Flip N Move, the home was relocated by truck and barge across Lake Pontchartrain and now rests peacefully in Robert, LA.
The Bonnabel Haus is a joyful space that pays homage to simpler times, with handpicked features that enhance its charm. One favorite detail? The foyer light — lovingly restored after being salvaged from an old service station in Zachary, LA, by way of an estate sale in St. Francisville.
