Very charming home in the heart of Abita Springs within walking distance of restaurants and different things to do. Melanie was very attentive and kind. I would recommend this location. 10/10.
Very quaint house. I especially liked the comfortable mattress and bedding! I also liked the fact that we were in the middle of town and could walk to the grocery store and bakery!
Our visit to lovely Abita Springs was great. Melanie and Cecil’s historic shotgun house was adorable and suited us perfectly. I had a few questions during our stay and Melanie and Cecil responded quickly and were very helpful. I would definitely return to their listing and recommend it highly.
