About this property
Farm and lake stay at Maison De L'eau Douce
Lakefront cottage-full kitchen living room-cozy bedroom and full bath with washer/dryer. On 2.5 acres. Central air conditioning. Two flat screen TVs with Roku-high end bamboo hard wood flooring-comfortable high thread count sheets on queen bed. Sleeper sofa in livingroom. All kitchen appliances including a gas range-Keurig coffee bar. Wooded setting-large deck with views of the lake. Ample parking space in front of main house-no parking in the back next to the lakehouse. Wireless high-speed internet. In unit washer and dryer. Property has a gas grill for use by guests.The property is a farm-like setting with chickens, 2 Nigerian dwarf goats, a Khatadan lamb, a lab mix, a Great Pyrenees, and 3 miniature donkeys. As mentioned, the lakehouse is in back of the main house on the lake shore. You will park in front and walk to the lakehouse. We have a garden cart to help you move your belongings. It's not a long walk.
The property is in a very private, quiet area of Odessa. We are on a dead-end street with very little traffic. The following information should help you to decide if this stay would be for you before you arrive, and are disappointed.
The property does contain THREE houses - the lakehouse, the guesthouse, and the main house (where we live). All have access to the backyard.
I have included photos that illustrate the proximity of the three houses. PLEASE UNDERSTAND: This is NOT an isolated house alone on the lake. Please do not book if this will be a problem for you.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE PET FRIENDLY. We are clean freaks and we clean very thoroughly after each guest, but as pet parents know, those animal hairs are tricky little things and as hard as we try to find them all, we may miss some. Also some larger items (sofas, chairs, decorative pillows, etc.) are not replaced after each guest. Please understand that if you are allergic to animals, don't care for animals, are offended by the occasional pet hair or paw print that might have been missed while cleaning, or in general do not like or are unfamiliar with spaces where animals have been, please do not book with us.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1) We obviously love animals and welcome housebroken dogs and cats with litter boxes. BUT, Please don't book if your dog uses potty pads. We have wood floors. We have not charged a pet fee in the past. Unfortunately not all guests have been courteous in cleaning up after their pets. Our cleaner is charging us an additional fee after stays with pets. To cover this cost, we must add a pet fee to our bookings. So sorry-We tried to avoid this!!!!
2) We love scents and use Wallflower essential oil plugins. If you are allergic or prefer no scent, please let us know and we will remove them before your arrival.

About the host
Hosted by Laurel Hall

Hello. I am an engineer and I have owned my own engineering company since 2001. My passion, however, is interior decorating. I am the daughter of an artist and my artistic talent is in my ability to create warm, welcoming living spaces.
Why they chose this property
I have lived in this serene, quiet setting for almost twenty years. Odessa is the perfect place to live and to stay. It is a secluded area, but close to all amenities (restaurants, shopping, etc.).
What makes this property unique
You will so enjoy the peace and serenity of staying in a gorgeous space on a beautiful lake. We have a small farm with goats, donkeys, chickens, a lamb, and dogs.
