This home is one of the best homes that I ever stayed. My husband is particular. First time he was extremely pleased. We plan on returning. Perfect location. So soothing and calming. Hosts are wonderful and supportive. I loved reading all of the signs in the backyard especially LSU. If one loves to BBQ, 2 pits there. Love fireplace outside as well as a hammock I felt I was at a spa. Our children and grandkids were happy too. The little ones loved the teepee. Plenty of space. Great place to stay.

Our family absolutely loved this stay. Everything is just as advertised and the host is really great, very friendly and helpful and checked in to make sure everything was going well. This home is like a private resort experience! There is something for everyone here! My sons loved playing at the basketball court in the backyard and our daughter and her friend loved the heated pool and hot tub as did my husband and I. The home is clean, well organized and has so much space. We absolutely recommend this stay! We will definitely return again, as this was our second stay at this property! It's truly that great!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My stay was amazing! The property was beautiful and had everything I needed for a relaxing, enjoyable getaway. I loved the heated pool, the hammock, and the pickleball and basketball courts — such fun amenities! The entire place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as pictured. The hosts were incredibly responsive and made everything easy from start to finish. We truly had a wonderful time here, and I’m already looking forward to visiting again and having them host me in the future. Highly recommend! 🌟🏡💛
