Our day was wonderful. The place is everything that it’s advertised to be and we enjoyed the view and the comfort. And the price is incredible and well worth the money. Not as a criticism just as a suggestion perhaps I could leave creamer with the coffee..

About the host

Hosted by Greta

Host profile image
Hi! I'm Greta, a Louisiana native, mom, real estate professional, and small business owner who loves Southern hospitality.
Hosting has become one of my favorite ways to welcome people to our area. My goal is to provide a clean, comfortable, and relaxing place where guests can unwind, fish, explore, and create lasting memories.
When I'm not hosting, I help families buy and sell homes across Louisiana and Mississippi, and I also make homemade jams, jellies, and other Southern favorites for local farmers markets.
I take pride in making every guest feel welcome and I am always happy to answer questions or recommend local restaurants, attractions, and hidden gems. Whether you're here for a quiet getaway, a fishing trip, or a family vacation, I hope you'll feel right at home.
I look forward to hosting you!

Why they chose this property

This home features a private lot, water view, fishing, crabbing & access to Lake Pontchartrain.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this neighborhood because it offers the peaceful beauty of Louisiana bayou living while still being conveniently located near everything you need. Nestled along Salt Bayou, it's a place where you can fish from the property, watch egrets and other wildlife, enjoy breathtaking sunsets, and truly unwind.
The location is ideal—just a short drive to Slidell's restaurants, shopping, and local attractions, with easy access to New Orleans for world-famous dining, music, and sightseeing. You're also within reach of the Mississippi Gulf Coast's beaches, casinos, and entertainment, making it easy to enjoy the best of both Louisiana and Mississippi.
Whether you're here for a fishing trip, a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or simply a quiet retreat, we hope you'll experience the same sense of peace and relaxation that made us fall in love with this special place.
