Nice location
This property is located in a beautiful setting. The home is decorated nicely. It is in desperate need of a good scrub and TLC. The owner also might want to invest in nicer linens, mattresses and mattress pads. Upon check out we were disgusted to find out that the master bed and another did not even have a mattress pad under the sheet and the mattress was stained and filthy. Very disgusted to think we had slept on a bed that way. Gross!

Comfortable place to stay
Plenty of room for a family of 7 adults. Very quiet setting. House could use a small amount of TLC, minor things like several blown light bulbs. Pool is larger than usual and works great. Pool could use a little tile maintenance. Grounds would be more beautiful if it was mowed a little more often. Covered porch on back deck has been removed, it isn't a covered seating area as pictured. Extremely hot without shade. AC in the house works great. Lots of seating throughout. Ping-pong table was hours of fun. All and all I give this property a 4 out of 5. I would definitely recommend this property. Owner Communication was awesome. Easy check in and out!

Perfect Place
The host was great. Easy communication. The house was ready earlier than the check in time, and he let me know in case I was waiting. Which, of course, he didn’t have to do. Pool and yard maintenance is well done, especially considering the size of the yard. We came to visit nearby family, so we’ll plan to stay here again.

We booked this home for family to stay in during our wedding weekend. Everything was clean and well taken care of. Served our purposes perfectly! Plenty of space. The property is quiet and beautiful! We took family photos by many of the stunning old oaks and I’m so excited to see the photos! Great for hosting a large family. Beds are comfortable and very inviting.

Staycation Before School Starts
We had an absolute blast at this property. The kids LOVED the pool. The property was picturesque and calming. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. There was plenty of room to sleep and the playroom upstairs was an awesome addition! I actually got to relax and unwind while there. It’s close to the city and made it easy to run grab a couple little things here and there.

Bridal House
The house was the perfect place to host my daughters bridal party and to use the day of the wedding to get ready. The grounds were beautiful for outside bridal pictures. We are very grateful that the owners allowed us to use the house for the wedding day by having make up people, hair dressers, photographers and videographers on the property. It was the perfect day for my daughter!

Beautiful old home on 8 acres
The town of Slidell is full of great restaurants and any convenience you need. It was great being about 30-40 minutes from New Orleans and still being able to escape to our quiet retreat in the evenings. With nine adults, we had plenty of room to spread out, play board games and watch TV at this home.

GROSS
This house was the filthiest house we have ever rented. We spent our first day cleaning everything. We took photos of black mold on AC vents, dust all over, grease and god only only knows what else on kitchen cupboards, silverware had food stick all over it, there was old food and crumbs stuck between the fridge and cabinets. The pool was green most of time, there was underwear in the side yard and down by the bayou. The beds on the main floor were absolutely uncomfortable. Over all you can tell the house and pool are NOT maintained properly for it to even be rented out to others. Such a shame because the property is beautiful and so is the house. Its just dirty and gross. I wish I could share the photos. I did send photos to the house manager after we left so they could see how bad it was. They wished I has told them when we got there but who wants to be bothered having a cleaning crew come with all our belongs and family? It was embarrassing enough for us to have invited our family there. We shouldn't even had to have dealt with it! I suggest finding another house to rent before staying here! Our family has stayed in Slidell before and there are WAY better places to stay!
