Perfect Getaway

This cottage was the perfect getaway for my wife and I. We had plans in New Orleans, but didn't want to stay in the city. Mandeville is an easy drive to and from New Orleans. The cottage itself was super cute and clean, and has all the things needed for a weekend stay. The hosts were extremely helpful, responsive, and accommodating!

Cute casita in a great location

This casita sits directly behind the owner's primary residence. It has two bedrooms on opposite sides of the house. The beds are comfortable. One room has a smart TV, the other doesn't have a TV. The property is clean. The sofa is comfortable but small. The two extra chairs in the living area are not comfortable for lounging. It would be nice if there was comfortable seating for the whole family in the living area. The bathroom sink needs to be unclogged because it is slow to drain. Also, the shelf above the sink tilts when anything remotely heavy sits on it. Since there isn't much space in the bathroom, it would be nice if the shelf could hold toiletries. There was a generator or something that came on for a couple of minutes on Thurs, very early in the AM. It woke me up. I wish the timing were set so it wouldn't come on so early. Other than those very minor issues, the casita was great. The check-in process and communications with the owner were seamless. The casita is located close to the lakefront with easy access to interstate. The neighborhood is quaint and quiet. This was our second stay here, and we would stay here again.

Cozy Cottage

Beautiful little Cottage in a convenient quiet setting. Very close to restaurants and entertainment. Owner was very responsive. Cottage had everything we needed. My wife and I stayed here and made a trip to New Orleans to visit the WWII Museum, which is a must see (2 day trip easily). I would definitely recommend this location, and I would stay again if we are in the area.

Great experience!

We stayed at this precious cottage for a family wedding at The Greystone. The location was perfect and the amenities great. We had an infant with us so we didn’t want to stay in a traditional hotel, but have a “home away from home” for a sitter to watch the baby while we stayed close. It was a very comfortable stay! Lovely property and the beds were comfortable!

Wedding Weekend

My husband and I spent the weekend here along with our Son, Daughter In Law and grandson. We were in town for a wedding and everything was great. We were actually only a couple of blocks from the venue which was a bonus. Home was clean and we had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay.
