This place is amazing

We had a bachelor party out here in new orleans and this was perfect. It just far enough away from the city to have a great recovery spot and some peace away from all of the craziesness of the city but close enough we can drive whenever we or get an uber for $50. The property manager was very responsive to everything from the fishing recomendations (fishing is awesome and we also crabbed. Caught enough for a crab boil). The only reccomendation is that if you come durning this time of the year bring some stuff to fight of nats and bugs there were alot at some points but a quick walmart trip helped us manage that. Other than that 10/10 hughly recommend.

The best of both.

Awesome property the water. Pontchartrain in the front and saint Catherine in the back. We would kayak fish for half our day and spent the other half in French quarter and garden district. If you kayak towards the bridge you can see ft pike. It was a great stay. The house was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The whole family loved it. We will definitely be back for a longer stay next time.

Great house for a family vacation

This house was wonderful! The location was perfect for a family vacation. We used the kayaks pretty much every day and really enjoyed them for fishing and just paddling up the canal. The back porch was a wonderful spot for morning coffee and to watch the birds on the water. Make sure to pack plenty of bug spray! I couldn’t be happier with the host and their communication. Really everything was just wonderful.

Family Spring Break Trip

The view from the porch was amazing. It was great to wake up and watch the sunrise and enjoy the sights and sounds of the lake. The house had a great layout for spending quality time with my family and even some alone time for myself. The host continued in communication with us throughout our vacation. It was definitely a great stay.
