One night stay

Stayed here one night with my family on our way to New Orleans. Very cozy and enough room for 6 adults. We loved the privacy of being out of town but not too far out!

Whitehouse

Smelled like mold and mildew, stove top and front of stove dirty, bugs everywhere. Picture of the front of house misleading--dead tree in front , lawn not mowed. Did not stay there.

Wonderful getaway in the country but close to the interstate! Very peaceful

The communication between the host is perfect! The home is very spacious and well appointed and the two porch areas are super nice to enjoy the nature. The interior of the home was very clean (it’s an older home that has been VERY nicely redone). We had terrible weather this week, and the home was still fully accessible (no high water in the parking or drive).

Great stay

Loved so many things about this property. Great house on a beautiful property. Our family of 6 enjoyed our stay. There were a few things I would have changed, the master bedroom had a queen bed instead of a king as described in the listing and there were a few areas in the closets that looked like they werent cleaned as well as I’d expect. The pros: the property was gorgeous and private. It was easy to get in. We loved the porches and the house was nice and redone. We would stay again

About the host

Host profile image
Hi there! I’m Virginia—a proud Louisiana native and property manager who splits time between the bayous of the South and the mountains of Idaho. I graduated from LSU with a degree in Economics, and I’ve combined my love of hospitality, design, and travel into a career that lets me help others feel at home—wherever they are.


My roots run deep in Louisiana, and I carry that same spirit of warmth and welcome into every property I manage. Whether you're visiting for a peaceful country getaway, a fishing trip, or to explore charming small towns, I want your stay to feel effortless, cozy, and just the right amount of special.


When I’m not working, you’ll find me outside—walking my dog, paddle boarding, catching a sunset, or planning my next adventure. Whether I’m in Louisiana or Idaho, I’m always happy to share local tips and hidden gems to help you make the most of your time. I look forward to hosting you soon!

Why they chose this property

Set in the quiet countryside of Robert, Louisiana, The Whitehouse is surrounded by all the best parts of small-town charm and easy access to adventure. Guests love that you can sip your morning coffee with views of the pond and still be just minutes from shopping, dining, and attractions.

Head 10 minutes into Hammond for local breweries, live music, and Southeastern Louisiana University events, or take a short drive to Covington for art galleries, boutiques, and farmers markets. Nature lovers can spend the day at the Global Wildlife Center, go on a swamp tour to spot alligators and herons, or enjoy kayaking and hiking at Bogue Chitto State Park. Lake Pontchartrain is only 25 minutes away for fishing, boating, and waterfront dining, while New Orleans—with its world-class food, music, and nightlife—is less than an hour’s drive.

The neighborhood itself is peaceful, private, and surrounded by towering trees and Louisiana’s natural beauty. It’s the perfect setting to enjoy the serenity of the outdoors, then head out for fun and flavor nearby. Whether you’re here for a weekend getaway, family visit, or extended stay, you’ll love the mix of quiet country living with easy access to everything Southeast Louisiana has to offer.

What makes this property unique

What makes The Whitehouse truly special is its blend of bold, Santa Fe-inspired style and peaceful Louisiana countryside charm. You’ll find colorful, eclectic interiors paired with timeless touches like a clawfoot tub overlooking the pond and a porch swing shaded by blooming azaleas. Unlike typical rentals, this home sits on 8 private acres, offering both complete privacy and plenty of space to spread out.

Guests love the thoughtful layout that makes entertaining easy—an open kitchen and wet bar that flow into the living room, porches perfect for sunset dinners, and cozy bedrooms with smart TVs for winding down. From its meandering driveway and oversized azaleas to its eclectic design choices, The Whitehouse feels warm, vibrant, and one-of-a-kind. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s a retreat designed to inspire relaxation and connection in every season.
