About this property
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.

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.

We’re local, available, and always happy to share tips to help you make the most of your stay.
OTHER DETAILS TO NOTE
- Check-in: 5 PM | Check-out: 10 AM
- No smoking or vaping, $1,000 cleaning fee is violated
- This home is in a peaceful, scenic area. Please respect quiet hours from 10 PM - 8 AM, and be considerate of the surrounding neighborhood.
Weather notice:
Louisiana weather can be unpredictable, and while we do our best to prepare for anything, we cannot be held responsible for delays, power outages, storms, or other unforeseen events outside our control. Refunds will not be issued for weather-related events, utility interruptions, or other circumstances beyond our influence. We recommend purchasing travel insurance for added peace of mind.
If it’s been raining, the backyard tends to stay a little wet so the fire pit may not be useable and your pups may get muddy if left unattended outside.
