Great fishing and location to Slidell and New Orleans

Great house for our family of five! 2 college students and 18 yr old high schooler loved all games on ground level! We grilled using charcoal grill and gas grill! House is well stocked with anything you need. Loved having 3 bathrooms. We enjoyed St. Patrick’s Parade in New Orleans.

The camp

We had a fun time at the camp. We went fishing in the neighboring waterways, boiled some seafood, used the crab traps, played corn hole was a plus, and hope to go back for a longer trip.

Wedding at the Sadie Jane

Girls Trip 2024

my daughter and niece went to the Taylor Swift concert and we did not want t stay in NOLA, so we looked for a place that was a short drive and would give us peace and relaxation when we came back from our day trips to NOLA. We could not have asked for a better house to call home for 4 night 5 day stay. The water brings its own entertainment, the great areas below the house gave us so much to do in our down time. The space and 3 bathrooms were a huge bonus!!

Amazing Stay

Colette’s property was exactly what we needed! The house sits on a beautiful property right on the water! We enjoyed kayaking, fishing, crabbing, and playing all of the available games! The host did a fabulous job of thinking of the details (there were even phone chargers!) and included some Louisiana goodies for our enjoyment! It’s a super convenient location to New Orleans and the local Honey Island Swamp tour, as well as plenty of restaurants and shopping. We would definitely visit again!!

Great vacation spot! House is clean and comfortable. We loved the large porch and enjoyed playing bags at night. Kitchen is well stocked with cookware. Camp Salmen is nearby and great hiking/outdoor spot. Host is very easy to communicate with and responds quickly to any questions.

Wonderful Place

We had a great time visiting family in Louisianna. There was plenty of room for us to visit and so much to do. The games on the lower level are awesome. And sitting on the dock was so relaxing. The house is very clean and well stocked and close to a lot of fun activities and hikes.

First time in New Orleans

While this was the first time coming to New Orleans this Arabian property was awesome.the house was very accommodating to the needs of 6 friends everything. Was beautiful from the sunrise to Sun down having the dogs outside? Just to sit in relax and feel the nice cool breeze. There was also things that we could use far as a kayak crabbing. We also brought fishing Poles. It was just a very private and nice touch to be in a way from home. Holes was very accommodating may sure that everything was in place that when we arrived. It was easy access to the property not having to scuffle around to make sure everything was OK houses very clean needs sanitized it had seems to play. Have 3 bathrooms 3 nice bedroom rooms? Kitchen was very nice came fully stop with all things that you would need as if you were really at home.

Perfect Getaway!

My husband and I took our son who had recently turned 21 with a few of his friends. They wanted to experience NOLO, but we wanted a nice quiet place to chill during the day. This place was the perfect place for just this! The dock was perfect for fishing, and even though we didn’t catch much, it was so peaceful and relaxing! We caught a few crabs in the traps provided, and we saw several alligators at night! The house was very clean and had everything we needed but food! The 3 bathrooms and washer/dryer were a huge bonus! The trip into NOLA was about a 30 min drive, and the Uber prices were reasonable split between a large group. Our host was great, she checked in on us and even notified us about a light/fan that wasn’t working that we weren’t even aware of! 100% recommended this place and will stay here again if we go back this direction!

Nice house… good location!

We had a great time. The house was nice and in a good location… plenty of things to do in Slidell but also a short drive to other places… we visited New Orleans a few days and drove up to Folsom to the Global Wildlife Center, which was awesome!

Fabulous views for a relaxing trip!

The views and amenities were what sold us on this camp! Secluded enough but close to any and everything you could want! Each bedroom has a bathroom which was also a huge plus for us! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home!
