About this property
Abita Historic House
Our newly-renovated cottage is just 43 miles from downtown New Orleans. So you can Big Easy by day. Sleep Easy at night. Abita Springs/Mandeville has been rated as the safest town in the state. OR enjoy a relaxing city escape within walking distance of the nationally-known St. Tammany Trace hiking and bicycle trail. Abita Cafe and Abita Brew Pub are just steps away. All nestled in the majestic pines of the North Shore. As one guest told us “it’s like a Hallmark movie here.”
