Cozy Cottage
Beautiful little Cottage in a convenient quiet setting. Very close to restaurants and entertainment. Owner was very responsive. Cottage had everything we needed. My wife and I stayed here and made a trip to New Orleans to visit the WWII Museum, which is a must see (2 day trip easily). I would definitely recommend this location, and I would stay again if we are in the area.

Perfect Guest House for our stay
We enjoyed our stay. We just needed somewhere to wind down after our long days at our summer camp at Fountain Bleu State Park. The house was in good proximity and Rebecca was a great communicator.

Great experience!
We stayed at this precious cottage for a family wedding at The Greystone. The location was perfect and the amenities great. We had an infant with us so we didn’t want to stay in a traditional hotel, but have a “home away from home” for a sitter to watch the baby while we stayed close. It was a very comfortable stay! Lovely property and the beds were comfortable!

Wedding Weekend
My husband and I spent the weekend here along with our Son, Daughter In Law and grandson. We were in town for a wedding and everything was great. We were actually only a couple of blocks from the venue which was a bonus. Home was clean and we had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay.

Great stay in a cute, quiet cottage
The cottage is darling -- very comfortable, well decorated, and clean! It was also a little bigger than I expected based on online photos. Owner was helpful and offered fantastic communication on her end! *Unfortunately, my VRBO app wouldn't allow me to respond to her messages, and she didn't send another means (perhaps text or a direct email address) to reach her. She couldn't have known that's why I wasn't responding, however, so that's not unexpected. Just posting here so she'll know moving forward that if she never hears from a guest, that could be why.* Back to the cottage...we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The location is a bit further from the lakefront than we had wanted, but it turned out fine for our family. It's not in a very walkable area for groups without a car. Sofa and beds were extremely comfortable. We enjoyed all of the TV options on the day it rained. The kitchen was well apppointed. A few recommendations: -I wish there had been more towels and wash cloths provided since there isn't a washer/dryer available. -The decorative orange pillow cases in the back bedroom had a foul odor. -Fan in back bedroom is terribly unbalanced. -Would've liked an extra blanket or two in the living room for movie time. -Bathroom needs a lock.

Great stay in Mandeville. Guest house is roomy with 2 bedrooms and all the amenities you need. Separate parking for easy in and outs. A couple of blocks from downtown and the water. Easy commute to the trailhead if you are enjoying the bike trails.

Perfect place for us!
The place was a perfect place to rest while we visited our family. My husband who is almost 80 enjoyed riding bike every day. We found the place better than the pictures. The dogs only bark if there is a concern and we felt safer having them around. Beds are comfortable and all linens comfortable. The place was spotless.
