I stayed at the property with a friend. We loved the scenic views and the abundant wildlife in the area. Sunrise on the deck with coffee is the only way to go. Television was unnecessary.

This was a beautiful spot and perfect accommodations for our family. It becomes a long drive to tourist and popular spots, but worth it if you like the solitude and beauty of a bayou and wildlife preserve.

If you are looking for clean, simple, comfortable getaway this place is it! The property is convenient to Mandeville and Slidell. One of the best restaurants, Sal and Judy's is right around the corner. We enjoyed the access to the water, fishing off the dock and the cute river otter that stopped for a visit.
