Our weekend stay was amazing, I can't say enough good things about it!! The hospitality was outstanding from the moment we arrived. This house is perfect for family gatherings! The only way it would be better was if it was in the woods so we could go camping there

Fabulous restored home in quaint Ponchatoula!! It was perfect for our group of 8 guests, and we appreciated the little touches like extra water and snacks. We loved the nice beds and comfy furniture in living room. The carport was nice as well, as it was raining when we arrived! The yard and corner lot we very well kept - and the neighborhood was easy to walk around. Great family reunion trip, and perfect stay!!

We enjoyed our stay. Great location, clean and precious house.

We also strive to respond and answer any questions you may have promptly and satisfactory. Do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have in regards t your stay or your future reservations and bookings. Have a wonderful day! Jeffrey and Ursula

Why they chose this property

The property was originally build in 1890, upon buying this property we kept the original structure and transformed minimal areas such has added on closet and electrical updating, insulation and plumbing, other then these minimal updating requirements, the house was kept in it's original condition, original woodwork etc.
It makes this house a unique place to be and to call home even if it's just for a short stay. :)

What makes this property unique

Wake up to a beautiful sunrise sitting on the front porch rocking chair or swing, walk out to a game of basket ball, use the exercise bike provided for you in the hallway and soak in the large Antique clawfoot tub feeling refreshed. Enjoy all your amenities included with nothing more then sitting back, turn off your stress and mind and let the day take you wherever you wish in this small friendly Strawberry town where you will feel at home away from home!
