We couldn’t have hoped for more from our stay. In the run-up to our booking, and throughout our stay, Michael was very responsive and helpful. The cottage is perfect. Very spacious and clean with every convenience you could want. It really is a home away from home. Such a quiet little spot but close to the joys of Old Mandeville. My husband and I were able to both work remotely using the WiFi without any issue. We look forward to returning!
Great stay at Michael’s place. Excellent location, clean and well appointed with everything we needed. Michael even stopped by to make sure all was well. Highly recommend Rips on the lake for a night out as well as the cute historical downtown area of Mandeville.
the house is well stocked, it's a great location just a couple minutes to the waterfront. easy walking to restaurants, safe neighborhood. It was perfect for our family and dog
Great communication with our hosts. Check-in was a breeze. The house was better than described. Location was great! Would definitely book this property again.
We had a great time staying at the Lake Cottage. It is our second stay, and we will definitely be back. The property has all the amenities our family needs, and it is in a great location. Michael is an excellent host, and we hope to return!
5 Star awesomeness.
Everything & more that you hope for in a vacay rental. Plus everything was super clean!
I would absolutely stay here again and would recommend to others!

Loved the large den and comfy couches! Great open floor plan.
We had an power outage due to bad weather, but the owner acted quickly in restoring the power
The property was exactly how it was listed. We brought 3 dogs with us and there was plenty of space for them plus our 4 adults and 1 teen. The owner was very helpful and communicative! Check in and check out was super easy! Wish we would have stayed for longer to explore the area more. We have already talked about coming back for a visit! We came for a wedding in the area and everything was super close to the property! Thank you again for allowing us to stay!

Thanks for taking the time to leave a lovely review. You were perfect guest.
Exactly as advertised. Property owner shared all needed info quickly and efficiently. No other contact required. Property was beautiful and exactly what we were hoping for. Check in and out process was quick with easy instructions to set up the cleaning crew to have the property ready for the owners to return to and enjoy or to allow the next guests to have the same experience we did. Excellent in every way.
In case it helps anyone, we were 4 adults (family and long-time friends) and one 5 yr old child.
We are Mike and Carol. We have this lovely family lake house in the heart of Old Mandeville that we decided to short term rent. It’s very clean , comfortable and only a block from the lake. We live around the block so are available if something needs addressing. Come visit and enjoy our place!
Why they chose this property
Our lake house is one block from the lake. Enjoy sunset walks, restaurants, shops and pubs all within walking distance. We have under the house pool table, dart board, refrigerator, table and bikes for use. Fire pit too!
What makes this property unique
Our place is near everything! Perfect for attending weddings, visiting families, etc. 3 bedroom 4 beds and large sectional couch that could sleep 2.
