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.
What You’ll Love: - Cozy and artfully curated interiors - High-speed internet & smart TV - Stock tank pool — perfect for cooling off in the Louisiana heat (drained Oct–April) - Large fenced backyard with room to play or relax - Off-street parking for peace of mind - Pet-friendly with prior approval
The Space
Living Room: Warm and inviting with a comfy couch that easily converts into a sofa bed, a smart TV, and thoughtful touches that showcase Louisiana’s charm.
Kitchen: Fully stocked with everything you need — oven, stove, refrigerator, microwave — plus direct access to the backyard for easy poolside snacks or dining.
Bedroom: Spacious and bright with a queen-sized bed, soft linens, and plenty of natural light for slow mornings.
Bathroom: Full bath with a tub/shower combo — perfect for a refreshing rinse after a day exploring.
Laundry: Full washer and dryer right inside the home for your convenience.
Outdoor Space: A large fenced-in backyard with a stock tank pool for summer dips, plenty of space to stretch out, and shady spots to enjoy a drink or just relax.
PETS WELCOME Dogs are allowed with prior approval and a $75 fee per pet. With room to roam and comfy sleeping spaces, even your furry friends will feel at home here. NOTE: - Since we’re a pet-friendly home, this means wagging tails and happy paws are welcome here! Our cleaning team does a fantastic job, but a stray fur or two may still sneak by. If allergies are a concern, we totally understand and recommend choosing a pet-free property for maximum comfort.
Centrally Located: ~ 10 mins to downtown Hammond for breweries, shops, and Southeastern Louisiana University ~ 15 mins to Covington & Madisonville for antique stores, cafés, and Tchefuncte River paddles ~ 50 mins to New Orleans Airport for easy travel or a late-night beignet run
Things To Do Nearby: ~ Visit Gnarly Barley Brewing in Hammond ~ Browse Covington Farmer’s Market (Saturdays) for fresh produce and treats ~ Float or kayak down the Bogue Chitto River ~ Enjoy live music locally or head to New Orleans for world-famous jazz ~ Tour Insta-worthy plantations or hike at Fontainebleau State Park
Perfect For: - Couples seeking a romantic getaway - Solo travelers on a peaceful retreat - Small families who want a central home base for exploring the Northshore and beyond
Whether you’re here for adventure or relaxation, the Bonnabel Haus blends character, comfort, and a sprinkle of Louisiana magic.

Cute little house that perfectly fit what I needed
Cute comfortable little house. In town for work and stayed for a couple of weeks. Virginia was awseome to communicate with. The only two things I didnt realize is there are no local channels available on the tv and extremally limited space for "canned goods dry storage" if you are going to be staying semi long term and going to be shopping at the grocery and cooking in house

LA trip
house was clean and easy to access; listing was not clear about pet policy; there was a $50 pet fee with "up to 3 pets any size"; I was contacted by the host that it was a per pet fee and it was $60 which was not what the listing said at the time booking; she did honor the $50 fee but charged me a per fee which added an additional $100 (on top of the original $50 I had already paid); She altered her listing to be more clear in the future; I booked this last minute to visit a family member who had surgery so it was not refundable. I would have made different choices if her listing were more clear. I specifically chose her listing because of the dogs; for others who are traveling with dogs: The backyard holds water with rain and was not usable with the dogs secondary to mud; fence did have a board that was broken and dogs could have escaped if used; back screen door is in disrepair and no light was present in back yard making it difficult to take the dogs out at night on leash; disappointed with the host's inflexibility with her unclear pet fee/policy and house could use some maintenance outside

Better than expected!
This place was so amazing! We enjoyed 3 nights at this location and loved every second. We would go out to explore NOLA and come back to what felt like home. The interior of the house was beautiful to look at and the backyard was comfortable to sit in and enjoy the view of the sky. Even though there are neighbors around the home, it was separated enough to feel a little more private! The neighborhood itself was secluded and quiet. It was exactly what I wanted for me and my girlfriend for a spontaneous trip! Thank you to the host for checking in but giving us our privacy as well. We will definitely be back 😆
