Southern Charm, Needs Attention

Beautiful home with southern comfort. Enough room for everyone to move around comfortably. However, miniblinds in most of the rooms were broken or missing panels. Also, a gaping hole in wall. Out of concern of what may crawl in, we plugged the hole with a plastic soda bottle during our stay.purchased more towels and toilet paper to last us during stay. Overall, a beautiful home in need of attention. most of four couples to move about comfortably.

Perfect for our bayou wedding weekend

A Louisiana native, I booked the property the weekend of my wedding at Palmetto's to a Massachusetts groom. We stayed in the house with his closest friends, and got permission to use the location for an extended family picnic on Sunday. My husband's people had minimal experience in Louisiana, and the grounds did not disappoint. They enjoyed walking the property, knocking some golf balls around, and relaxing by the pool under the stunning oaks. The only downsides were the exterior had some maintenance needs (one of the deck stairways had a completely loose board, so we used it to block that set of stairs) and the pool was quite dirty. We had a beautiful 80+ degree weekend and it would have been nice to have the pool in better shape. But, overall, the location was exactly the Louisiana experience I wanted my new and remote family to enjoy, and we had a lovely time. Everyone was completely delighted with the views and location.

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.

Nice location

This property is located in a beautiful setting. The home is decorated nicely. It is in desperate need of a good scrub and TLC. The owner also might want to invest in nicer linens, mattresses and mattress pads. Upon check out we were disgusted to find out that the master bed and another did not even have a mattress pad under the sheet and the mattress was stained and filthy. Very disgusted to think we had slept on a bed that way. Gross!

Comfortable place to stay

Plenty of room for a family of 7 adults. Very quiet setting. House could use a small amount of TLC, minor things like several blown light bulbs. Pool is larger than usual and works great. Pool could use a little tile maintenance. Grounds would be more beautiful if it was mowed a little more often. Covered porch on back deck has been removed, it isn't a covered seating area as pictured. Extremely hot without shade. AC in the house works great. Lots of seating throughout. Ping-pong table was hours of fun. All and all I give this property a 4 out of 5. I would definitely recommend this property. Owner Communication was awesome. Easy check in and out!

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.

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.

Bridal House

The house was the perfect place to host my daughters bridal party and to use the day of the wedding to get ready. The grounds were beautiful for outside bridal pictures. We are very grateful that the owners allowed us to use the house for the wedding day by having make up people, hair dressers, photographers and videographers on the property. It was the perfect day for my daughter!

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.
