Short trip

We had a nice time and the setting was beautiful. The pool was very nice. We loved seeing the horses and walking out by the pond. The only issue was that the paddle boats and kayak were not usable. Would have liked to get out in the pond. We also had a minor issue with the breaker for the microwave and accidentally turned on a breaker that apparently controls the well.

Cosy, Beautiful, Private

A lovely place to stay - quite a surprise. There are open fields, the horses, the bees, the pool, the lake! I wish we had had more time to explore the property.

About the host

Hosted by Mary LeBlanc Zaunbrecher

Hi, my name is Mary. I have two beautiful children that live on the property with me. I'm a full time farmer and enjoy horseback riding, reading, beekeeping & martial arts. I'm also passionate about the beneficial properties of wellness by using DoTERRA essential oils!

Why they chose this property

One of the things I enjoy most about this location is the fact that it is not really close to anything. It's peaceful country living at it's best! The town of Simmesport is about 10 minutes away with several food options. The Paragon Casino, located in Marksville (a scenic 20 minute drive), offers a spa, movie theatre, golf course, walking trail, gambling, concerts and several restaurants.

What makes this property unique

The property sits on over 100 acres and guests have access to the onsite stocked fishing pond, kayaks, paddle boat, & bikes. A closer look at the horses is possible as long as I'm in attendance. We have the most amazing sunsets & sunrises and stargazing is uninterrupted by big city lights.
