Great house steps to the lakefront!
My husband and I would like to welcome everyone to our relaxing house in the heart of Old Mandeville. You will love it and not want to leave.
Our house is only steps away from Mandeville’s Beautiful Lakefront which is perfect to take a leisurely walk, jog, ride bikes or just sit and enjoy the views and sunsets. There are children’s playgrounds on both ends and a splash pad at the end of the lakefront near our house.
The city boat launch is across the street at the harbor for those who want to bring a boat or book a fishing trip with Wicked Fishing Charters which leaves from the launch. They also offer sunset cruises and kayak rentals.
The Tammany Trace Bike Trail is right down the street. It is originally a corridor for the Illinois Central Railroad and now is Louisiana’s first rail-trail. The bike path runs from Downtown Covington to Slidell.
Old Mandeville offers great restaurants, pubs, gift shops, Saturday outdoor markets, churches and so much more, all within walking and biking distance.
New Orleans' French Quarter, Audubon Zoo, Aquariums of the America, The National WWII Museum, even Jazz Fest and Mardi Gras are less then 45 minutes away!
Just want to get away and have a relaxing time? There is no better place than on the large porch where a nice breeze is always blowing from the lake. Enjoy your coffee in the morning and drinks in the evening. Of course, this is our Favorite place!
We enjoy vacationing in quaint little towns with our friends so we decided to purchase a house in our home town to share with others. We can't wait for you to visit. There is no place like Old Mandeville! Lanny and Susan

The location was nice and quiet, and within walking distance to the lake. The house was clean and charmingly decorated. Beds were super comfortable. We certainly enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay here again!
It is a perfect location, well decorated and roomy home. Great location with walking distance to the waterfront and restaurants and bike paths. Very well-appointed and great hosts
Our family enjoyed this property and the location. The house is well stocked with all items we needed for a vacation. We would highly recommend this property.
We highly recommend staying here! It was easy to walk to the lake, parks and restaurants. It was also an easy drive into New Orleans. We are already talking about wanting to visit again. Thanks for the great stay!

Tjis is a wonderful place and a wonderful area to hang and chill! Easy access and just a short distance from all the neighborhood restaurants and shops.
If you want to unwind, unwind here!! Very comfortable and great value for the price!!
Four of us (two couples) came to Mandeville for the Wooden Boat Festival taking place in Madisonville. The house is perfect with a great location, very clean, and supplied with all the utensils that you would need. It is also just down the street from several restaurants and our favorite, Rip's On The Lake. We will definitely book this again on our next trip to the North Shore.
We came into town for potentially moving into the area and wanted to experience what Mandeville was like. This was a fantastic location so close to walk to everything. Right near the lake so you could enjoy the lake. Could not ask for a better place to stay. Extraordinarily clean and all of the essentials were available And in great shape. If we don't move to the area, we would definitely come back to stay here to visit.
We had a fantastic stay at Susan’s property while in town for a nearby youth sports tournament. Susan was prompt and friendly in communication, the house was very comfortable, and the location was perfect. Enjoyed walking along the lake, restaurants nearby (including a cute candy/ice cream shop!), and the lovely neighborhood. Highly recommend!
My family and I enjoyed our stay at this cottage in Mandeville. It is only 2 blocks from the lake and we enjoyed our daily walk along the lakefront. There are many restaurants a short walk/drive away. The town itself is vibrant with a huge market on Saturdays. The town lends itself to being active - there are bike lanes and pedestrians all around. The cottage itself is spacious and well equipped (even had things like laundry detergent and toilet paper included). It was very clean upon arrival. The beds were comforable. The working washer and dryer were a huge bonus for my family of 4. My teenage son slept on the sleep sofa and he found that to be comfortable. This house is perfect for two couples as each family could have a different end of the house making it very private. From the cottage, we took a daytrip to New Orleans, and one to Baton Rouge to tour LSU. We also went to the Mississippi Gulf Coast and a swamp tour south of New Orleans, so I found the location to be close to lots of things. I am not sure if my travels will take me to Louisiana again, but if so, I wouldn't hesitate to rent this cottage again!
House was perfect. Very clean and had everything we needed for a vacation with our 18 month old kids! Great location too, walking distance to lakefront and a park for the kids. Host was responsive and very accommodating. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking!
Property was clean and well kept as advertised. Felt private and secluded, but we were right near the lake front. I would have no problems booking and staying here again.
We were visiting the WWII museum in New Orleans and the location was perfect for not wanting to stay in New Orleans. The home was clean and comfortable and the host was wonderful to work with. Would definitely stay here again!
Spaciious living areas and bedrooms. Well maintained and clean. Lovely furnished balcony area to relax or drink coffee. Short walking distance to beautiful Lakefront area for walking, views, park for kids and plenty of restaurants and shopping. Highly recommend. I am a repeat visitor!
