Beautiful old home on 8 acres

The town of Slidell is full of great restaurants and any convenience you need. It was great being about 30-40 minutes from New Orleans and still being able to escape to our quiet retreat in the evenings. With nine adults, we had plenty of room to spread out, play board games and watch TV at this home.

Staycation Before School Starts

We had an absolute blast at this property. The kids LOVED the pool. The property was picturesque and calming. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. There was plenty of room to sleep and the playroom upstairs was an awesome addition! I actually got to relax and unwind while there. It’s close to the city and made it easy to run grab a couple little things here and there.

High Expectations

Needs attention to the details. In hind sight we realized this is a great location for larger groups. For the price of the property, we were expecting top notch accommodations and were disappointed based on those expectations.

I’m sorry that you were not satisfied with your stay. To your point, yes, this is a very large property (over 8 acres) and a large older home that sleeps up to 10 people. We feel the price is very fair considering the overall property and capacity, but yes, it is overkill for a party of 2. Erick Property Manager

We booked this home for family to stay in during our wedding weekend. Everything was clean and well taken care of. Served our purposes perfectly! Plenty of space. The property is quiet and beautiful! We took family photos by many of the stunning old oaks and I’m so excited to see the photos! Great for hosting a large family. Beds are comfortable and very inviting.

Perfect Place

The host was great. Easy communication. The house was ready earlier than the check in time, and he let me know in case I was waiting. Which, of course, he didn’t have to do. Pool and yard maintenance is well done, especially considering the size of the yard. We came to visit nearby family, so we’ll plan to stay here again.

Beautiful, quiet and peaceful setting!

The house was as described. It was well stocked with kitchen items and linens. Clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay there and it felt like a “home” rather than just a house away from home. Everything was in good working order and clean. I would definitely recommend this house to any family looking to get away and relax with the kiddos! Thanks, Suzy, for the use of your home and seeing to it that it is well stocked and clean!

About the host

Hosted by Erick Lewko

Host profile image
I'm born and raised in New Orleans. I currently work in New Orleans but live on the North Shore of New Orleans. My family (three children) grew up in this house until Katrina took it away. 8 years later, the kids are all in college, we live in another house but have just finished bringing this one back. We can't forget the wonderful memories, the great times or the tremendous ambiance of this place. So we use it when we can. But you can use it when we can't!! Don't miss out on the Bayou Moon from the rear porch. It is truly special..

Why they chose this property

We bought it because it was on the navigable bayou (5 mins to Lake Pontchartrain by boat), we could water ski, boat, fish, crab or just enjoy the awesome wildlife and nature that the bayou affords. We bought it because of the 8 acres (which we cleared and now manicure), and the 30 plus oak trees with Spanish moss, some of which are over 200 years old. We've played many football, soccer, and baseball games in the large fields. Drive a golf ball or fly a kite! We named it Bayou Moon, because for all its splendor, at the end of the day when you sit on the back porch and look up - you see this awesome moon reflecting on the bayou! This area is a historic Creole settlement that dates back into the 1700's. So after we bought it, we got to know our wonderful neighbors, many of whom are ancestors of the original settlers. FYI before we could rebuild this house after Katrina, it needed to be raised and we just completed this 'raise and renovate' six months ago.

What makes this property unique

There are so many unique features of Bayou Moon. The nature, the wildlife, the expanse of the acreage, the oak trees, the privacy, the water frontage, the water sports, the fishing and crabbing, the boat dock, the swimming pool, the house with its incredible views, the porches and decks, the gameroom but most of all the Bayou Moon!
