About this property

Private, fire pit on the river!

5 min from Covington, 40 minutes from New Orleans, 15 minutes from tubing excursions, zoo's & 30 from swamp tours and much more. As you pass over our bridge and meander down the winding drive you let your cares go. The property is healing grounds for most. The vivid forest surrounds you and your relaxation begins as you look into gardens of gardenias, azaleas, camellias, large magnolia trees and fruit trees. Walk two minutes to our private beach. Grilling is a favorite activity while your nestled in the trees watching the sunset. Coffee time is magnificent on the front porch while listening to the birds and watching the squirrels scurry thru the trees. Whether you're here to hike, read a book or family time you will enjoy all the amenities. The kitchen has a drawer full of many favorite herbs. The 2 burner stove with prep sink and range make it easy for 2 to prepare meals. Enjoy grilling and preparing your favorite meals on the deck while watching your favorite sports on the outside tv with sound bar. our spacious bathrooms and comfy beds make for a nice stay and restful sleep. If you would like to host a small event please inquire by message. You are sure to enjoy.

About the host

Hi, I'm Laurie a mother of 3 grown boys and 6 grandchildren that are my world. So, with that said I have gained so much knowledge when searching for places to stay when traveling with my loved ones. My family enjoys the outdoors, hiking, mushroom hunting, swimming, fishing and most of all bon fires at night. We also love to barbeque. So, with all that in mind I purchased this home summer of 2022 and totally remodeled it myself with help from my best friend, dad and others with 40% of the materials recycled and decor removed from other homes on the property. This location has brought much happiness to me after living in Ms. for the past 35 years, I'm finally home. I decided to share this location while I travel to give others a chance to embrace this little piece of heaven with their families. I have a lot of experience in vacation rentals. I managed 2 of my parent's vacation homes in Ms. Biloxi, Fl. Panamma city, Key West and for 13 years I was a property manager and ran all aspects of 2 VRBO's including maintenance in Biloxi and Gulfport areas. I have 2 other older homes on this property which in the near future will be vacation homes so more families can travel as groups. We also have about 500ft of riverside which is shallow enough to do a lazy river in the future.

Why they chose this property

The peace and serenity of this property is why you will love it here. The location is very close to town, but you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. You can take a peaceful walk and listen to our little water fall and the flowing river.

What makes this property unique

We have about 500ft of riverside, one day we will be adding tree houses overlooking iand a lazy river.
