Amazing Guest House

This place was like staying at a friends home. The furnishings and finishes were amazing and the location was very private. Having bikes was a plus, once we parked we did not need our car the entire stay. Highly recommend!

Relaxing weekend

The little guest house was very charming and cozy. Perfect for a weekend getaway. The owner Mary Jane was so pleasant to work with. Loved the way she took the time and gave us a welcome call. Wish we could have spent more time there but we will definitely be back.

Lovely, Well Cared for Cottage

Our stay in this lovely cottage was very enjoyable and relaxing. My husband and I stayed in the upstairs apartment and my daughter and her family stayed downstairs. The house was large enough for all of us to have our own space. It was beautifully decorated and yet very comfortable. The entire property was clean and very well cared for. We all enjoyed the pool and my daughter and her children loved being able to ride the bikes into town for coffee and sweets. Mary Ellen is a wonderful host and is always ready to help.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Ellen Warner

Mary Ellen and Bob are experienced vacation rental hosts. Their interest in developing property was born after Hurricane Katrina when they purchased a 126 year old creole cottage in Bay St. Louis, MS . They completely restored this historical "Biloxi Cottage" (1 of two left on coast). The Creole Cottage was placed on the National Register of Historic Properties.

It is now the flag ship of our small portfolio of restored luxury properties. Mary Ellen and Bob each contribute to the success of the rentals. Mary Ellen manages the varied properties and gives the guests a special local experience. Bob grew up in Waveland, MS & attended St. Stanislaus College in Bay St. Louis. Mary Ellen and Bob's knowledge and lifelong ties to the area and the people gives our guests a true local experience.

They share a special experience that reveals the "old world" charm, the natural beauty, and unique culture of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. After one visit we hope that our guests will appreciate this beautiful coastal area as much as we do. We welcome you to the Guest Quarters.

Why they chose this property

The owners return to the Gulf Coast regularly for rest and relaxation. They are pleased to have the opportunity to restore and preserve this historical 100 year old cottage, 'La Petite Cachette' (Little Nook). They love their home and want to share this restored piece of coastal history.

What makes this property unique

This Creole home is one of the few 'Biloxi Cottages' to survive after Katrina.The typical 'Biloxi Cottage' is a locally popular vernacular house that is typified by a gable roof, undercut gallery, and four bay facade with doors in two central bays.

'La Petite Cachette' is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This is a special property that seamlessly blends the history of a past lifestyle with the modern luxury of today. The 'barge board' bookshelves and hardwood floors are incorporated with the modern luxury of the private pool, WIFI, and flatscreens.
