My husband and I had such a great time there. We were able to crab and fish and just enjoy being outside. It was very peaceful and relaxing. This is a place we would definitely come back to. Everything was neat and in order.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay. We truly appreciate you choosing our place and look forward to welcoming you back again soon. 🇺🇸
Our day was wonderful. The place is everything that it’s advertised to be and we enjoyed the view and the comfort. And the price is incredible and well worth the money. Not as a criticism just as a suggestion perhaps I could leave creamer with the coffee..
This property is great. Five minutes to Rigolets Marina and sits on a canal leading to Pontchartrain. Owner is very accommodating, quick to respond to messages and provides an excellent stay.

About the host
Hosted by Greta
Hi! I'm Greta, a Louisiana native, mom, real estate professional, and small business owner who loves Southern hospitality. Hosting has become one of my favorite ways to welcome people to our area. My goal is to provide a clean, comfortable, and relaxing place where guests can unwind, fish, explore, and create lasting memories. When I'm not hosting, I help families buy and sell homes across Louisiana and Mississippi, and I also make homemade jams, jellies, and other Southern favorites for local farmers markets. I take pride in making every guest feel welcome and I am always happy to answer questions or recommend local restaurants, attractions, and hidden gems. Whether you're here for a quiet getaway, a fishing trip, or a family vacation, I hope you'll feel right at home. I look forward to hosting you!

What makes this property unique
We fell in love with this neighborhood because it offers the peaceful beauty of Louisiana bayou living while still being conveniently located near everything you need. Nestled along Salt Bayou, it's a place where you can fish from the property, watch egrets and other wildlife, enjoy breathtaking sunsets, and truly unwind. The location is ideal—just a short drive to Slidell's restaurants, shopping, and local attractions, with easy access to New Orleans for world-famous dining, music, and sightseeing. You're also within reach of the Mississippi Gulf Coast's beaches, casinos, and entertainment, making it easy to enjoy the best of both Louisiana and Mississippi. Whether you're here for a fishing trip, a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or simply a quiet retreat, we hope you'll experience the same sense of peace and relaxation that made us fall in love with this special place.
