The host was very welcoming! The house offers more than enough space and comfort to relax. We loved being on the lake, the pier, the space around the home. Cannot brag enough on the amazing sunsets. Upstairs porch was my spot with porch swings and lake breezes. This is a great spot to relax and unwind.

Great communication with very nice host. Restaurants, live bait and boat launch nearby. Home was nice and well equipped. Fishing from the dock with live bait wasn’t great but I think it’s just not right time of year. Fishing from boat was amazing, Redfish, speckled trout, black drum and sheepshead all caught at the trestles. New Orleans a short drive away. Had a blast.

Beautiful and relaxing

The home was absolutely beautiful. The location was very convenient to stores yet not to close so we were able to relax and fish. Great location for a small family or group. The property owner was extremely helpful. We didn't have to travel far to see parades and the drive to New Orleans was close enough for us to travel on a daily basis but far enough so that we were able to escape it all when we were ready to relax. We will definitely be booking again in the near future.

Just what we needed

It was the perfect place for a guy's weekend on the water. Plenty of room for us to sleep and hangout. We rarely left the house because we had everything we needed and enjoyed pulling chairs out to the dock and watching the sunset over the lake every night. Will definitely come back.

A Dandy Time

The house was great and the owners were also great. Both exceeded our expectations. We caught about 50 crabs from the traps and nets provided and around 15 fish from the dock. My wife and I with our 5 children and grandma had plenty of room and space. Family friendly town making this the best family rental I’ve experienced yet. Well worth the drive from Georgia we will be back.

Great house on Lake Pontchartrain

Just got back from three nights in the heat of August at this lovely house on Lake Pontchartrain. Gaynell (owner) was very friendly and accommodating. My son and I enjoyed fishing at night on the lights and we caught lots of different species of fish - and some really big garfish too. We also caught several large crabs of the pier using the nets provided. We had nice boil the last day we were there. I recommend this place for a relaxing get away..

About the host

Hosted by Gaynell Leonard

Host profile image

My family grew up spending weekends and summers at another summer home in this area (Near Hwy 11 bridge). Great times and memories. Their was always something to do for the kids - crabbing, fishing, swimming, boating and skiing. The adults can just sit back, relax and enjoy the breeze and watch the sunset. Our original summer home was destroyed by a Hurricane in 2002 and after years of searching we found this house in 2010. Let new memories continue for your family as they have for ours.

Why they chose this property

We love this area since it is so peaceful to be overlooking the beautiful Lake Pontchartrain where we can enjoy fishing , crabbing , boating or just hanging out with friends and family ! Easy access to anything we want to do or to just enjoy doing nothing !

What makes this property unique

This property is not on a canal or inlet, its on the lake itself. The view is incredible, the breeze and fresh air are second to none. We have 380 foot pier that extends over Lake Pontchartrain and has a boat deck on the end of it. Great for fishing, crabbing, swimming, boating or whatever your passion may be.
