About the host
Hosted by Mary Ellen Warner
Mary Ellen and Bob are experienced vacation rental hosts. Their interest in developing property was born after Hurricane Katrina when they purchased a 126-year-old creole cottage in Bay St. Louis, MS . They completely restored this historical "Biloxi Cottage" (1 of two left on coast). The Creole Cottage was placed on the National Register of Historic Properties.
It is now the flag ship of our small portfolio of restored luxury properties. Mary Ellen and Bob each contribute to the success of the rentals. Mary Ellen manages the varied properties and gives the guests a special local experience. Bob grew up in Waveland, MS & attended St. Stanislaus College in Bay St. Louis. Mary Ellen and Bob's knowledge and lifelong ties to the area and the people gives our guests a true local experience.
They share a special experience that reveals the "old world" charm, the natural beauty, and unique culture of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. After one visit we hope that our guests will appreciate this beautiful coastal area as much as we do. We welcome you to the Main House.
Why they chose this property
The owners return to Bay St. Louis regularly for peace and quiet time. They were pleased to have the opportunity to restore and preserve this historical 100-year-old cottage, "La Petite Cachette" (Little Nook). They are proud of their cottage and want to share this restored gem of MS coastal history.
What makes this property unique
This Creole home is one of the few Biloxi Cottages to survive after Katrina. The typical Biloxi Cottage is a locally popular vernacular house that is typified by a gable roof, undercut gallery, and four bay facade with doors in two central bays.
La Petite Cachette is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This is a special property that seamlessly blends the history of a past lifestyle with the modern luxury of today. The barge board shelves and walls, and reclaimed wood floors combined with the modern luxury of the amenities offered and the history of the Gulf Coast.
