The Magnolia Pelican – Your Peaceful Louisiana Retreat
Formerly known as the Natty Nestle, The Magnolia Pelican is a cozy and welcoming guesthouse retreat in Natchitoches, thoughtfully designed for comfort and convenience. Perfect for couples, families, or friends traveling together, this inviting apartment is located in a charming duplex. Your private space is the blue unit (Unit A) on the left side of the property—easily identified in the cover photo with a red arrow pointing to the blue side.
Inside, you’ll find two spacious bedrooms, each with a plush king-sized bed, ensuring a restful night’s sleep after a day of exploring. The unit also features one full bathroom and a comfortable living room with a TV, where you can relax, unwind, and make yourself at home.
The fully equipped kitchen, complete with a dishwasher, makes preparing meals a breeze, while central air and heating keep you comfortable in every season. Free Wi-Fi throughout the unit ensures you can stay connected during your stay. For added convenience, you’ll also have shared access to a washer and dryer—perfect for longer visits. Free onsite parking means you can easily come and go at your own pace.
We’ve made arrival simple with self check-in through a smart lock and personalized access code, so you can settle in on your schedule with peace of mind.
The Magnolia Pelican offers the perfect balance of a quiet retreat and easy access to the highlights of Natchitoches. The guesthouse is ideally located just 3.5 miles from the historic Kyser Street Bridge, 4 miles from the iconic Church Street Bridge that connects you to charming downtown Front Street, and only 2 miles from Walmart for all your everyday essentials. Whether you’re heading into town for dining, shopping, or exploring, or simply enjoying the calm neighborhood setting, you’ll always feel right at home.
We want your stay to be as smooth and enjoyable as possible. While you’ll have the privacy of the entire unit and the ease of self check-in, assistance is always close by. Guests can contact the listing owner directly by text or phone (number posted in the unit), and any concerns will be promptly addressed.
