It was very relaxing and there were beautiful views.
The cottage was stocked with everything I needed. It was the perfect distance from town. My husband and I spent our wedding anniversary there and it was lovely.

It was wonderful experience!
Super clean, they were nice and it was very cozy. Took pictures of birds while I was there.
I was thrilled with Rose Cottage! Having grown up in that area, being on Bayou Rapides, looking out at Cypress trees, in the midst of cotton fields and the beauty of Central Louisiana was the perfect place to relax while in town for my 45th high school reunion.!
