One of the best places we have ever stayed in. Such a gem and they thought of everything in regards to the amenities. It was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. Everything you need is in walking distance and very quiet even with it being located downtown. The hostess made sure everything was covered when it came time for us to check in and very nice. We will definitely be back!

Staying here made our trip back to Ruston so special. As a Louisiana Tech alum, it meant a lot to return and share the campus with my son while visiting and getting a feel for the university. Having such a cute, cozy place to stay right in downtown Ruston made the experience even more memorable.The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and incredibly well equipped with everything we could possibly need. You can tell the hosts put so much thought and care into making guests feel comfortable.After long days walking around campus and exploring town, it truly felt like the perfect little home away from home.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Ruston-especially fellow Louisiana Tech Family!

My daughter and I visited Ruston for the Dixie World Series tournament and stayed at this beautiful property. It checked all of the boxes for a great experience-conveniently located, nice amenities, and a great property manager. Bradley was awesome with his communication and answered any questions that we had about our stay, before and during. Check-in was seamless. Kitchen and bathroom were extremely nice. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a stay in downtown Ruston! We will be back!

Immaculate property!
Modern loft-type feel. Well-decorated, had everything one could possibly need. The shower was to die for! Exceptionally clean, centrally located, and had locked gate access for extra protection.
I certainly recommend and would love to stay there again.
