6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location
The home was very clean and well maintained, and the décor was tasteful and inviting. It was clear that the hosts put effort into making the space look nice.However, the amenities were fairly limited and didn’t fully meet our expectations. The layout of the home also wasn’t very practical, making it less comfortable than we had hoped. In addition, the ventilation could be improved, as some areas felt stuffy and lacked good airflow.Overall, it was a clean and nicely decorated place to stay, but a few improvements to the amenities, layout, and ventilation would make for a much better guest experience.

This is a very inviting and cozy home. We loved the eclectic style of decorating!!! It is in a very quiet neighborhood, which was a plus for us. The outside space was perfect for my 3 year old grandaughter!!!!! It is alsoa great space for adults to unwind and sip their morning cup of coffee!!!! It's country living at its finest!!!!

House was in good order and clean. The outside sitting area is a great bonus. The owner was very responsive when we had an issue at 8 PM. Got back to us in minutes and had the issue (totally our fault) fixed very quickly.

Family wedding/mini vacay

We loved this house. It was everything we needed for our stay and location was close to everything! The hosts were easily contacted, quick responses when needed and so helpful! Easy check in and check out process. The outdoor patio was great and very relaxing with a nice breeze, if you have kids the playset was great too. My daughter loved the train set and doll house! Decor is so cute and the house is very clean! If we can visit again we will definitely book again!

Pictures doesn't do it justice!

This property is BEAUTIFUL and is, by far, the best rental I've ever stayed in. The photos truly doesn't do it justice. Beds were super comfortable, especially the king. The house comes equipped with everything you need. Communication with hosts was great and they graciously gave me an extra 15 minutes on check out, due to weather. 10/10 highly recommend!!

Family fun in Abita

We absolutely loved this quiet and quaint little place. It was great! My daughter and I came to town with our fur baby to visit with family. The hosts were so friendly and very accommodating. I had a 6 yr old niece and 10 yr old nephew visit while staying and they absolutely loved the outdoor play area while the adults enjoyed the covered patio where we grilled for my mother-in-laws birthday. The only thing I warn you about is this is a shotgun house. I knew what it was going in but not everyone does. So if you do not know what that means, the bedrooms are all connected. There is one bedroom all the way to the front that would get the most privacy. However, with it being a historical house there isn't much privacy. I did not mind that at all and the character of the home totally makes up for it for me. Just making you aware. I love old homes with lots of character and this home did not disappoint. Highly recommend the home and the hosts. Will visit again.

We felt so lucky to find this property, conveniently located only 4 minutes from the prep venue of the wedding party we were working with. The house was beautifully decorated, cozy and had everything we needed for a quick, one-night business stay. We would definitely stay here again on another trip to Abita!
