Relaxing Get Away

We enjoyed our stay. The guest house was very clean and had everything we needed. We just wish the landscaping would have been manicured a little more. The pool water was clear but there was a lot of debris that we had to clean in order to enjoy the pool.

Short trip

We had a nice time and the setting was beautiful. The pool was very nice. We loved seeing the horses and walking out by the pond. The only issue was that the paddle boats and kayak were not usable. Would have liked to get out in the pond. We also had a minor issue with the breaker for the microwave and accidentally turned on a breaker that apparently controls the well.

We loved the beautiful country area. Sun riseses were breathtaking. House was very clean. Even had touches of home like community coffee. Although we didnt catch anything we sure enjoyed fishing in the pond. The puppies on property were so sweet an loveable. Was a great 1st year anniversary for me an my wife. We definitely will return. Would have loved to bring some honey home with us however noone was home the whole weekend. So next time we will definitely get that first.

Weekend getaway from hustle and bustle!

We enjoyed fishing the pond, scenery was beautiful, quaint getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Love the attention to detail (the binder with ALL of the information although we did not need was an awesome detail especially for anyone who is not from Louisiana).

Relaxing on the Plantation

Upon riding to our destination I was just in Aww of all the beautiful scenery. We walked around once unloaded and enjoyed our stroll from the chicken coop to seeing the horses and finally a walk to the pier. It's so peaceful and quite. Thanks to Mary and her family for sharing their piece of Heaven here on earth. Mary was very nice and helpful!! We loved our stay and we will be back.

Lovely property and host

This is a great spot for a relaxing getaway! Loved the beautiful property and seeing the horses and the cows next door every day. It was too cold too swim, but that would be the icing on the cake when it is warmer. Did excursions to Avery Island, Lafayette, and Clark Creek Natural Area, MS. Now let me tell you about the amazing owner, Mary. I got a flat tire on the way in really late at night and was unable to get the lug nuts off to change the spare. In the boons I was barely able to get a message out letting her know I might be stuck on the road until the next day. Messages weren't getting back to me but Mary got on the road only knowing I was about 14 miles away (not knowing road, direction, car type, what I look like, etc). I had no idea she was coming, but she was able to find me and save the day!!! Also helped me change the spare with proper tools. Southern hospitality at its finest! Thanks again, Mary!

Beautiful property & sweet family.

Our kids loved fishing the ponds, kayaking, swimming & just being in the country. They also loved the younger boy. He was very kind & helpful. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
