Stayed Oct 24, 2025From the time of booking to the time of check out the host and staff were amazing and communicated so well. We had zero issues or concerns but had we needed them they were readily available. We will be booking again, so much fun even with the rain and busy weekend. It was very clean and just as described lots of extras that my kids enjoyed.

Stayed Feb 9, 2023My husband and I had a wonderful time staying at this cute cottage. It was peaceful and secluded, but close enough to drive to get something to eat. We loved watching for alligators, even if we didn’t see any. Would definitely recommend this cottage to family and friends.

Stayed Sep 22, 2022The glass on most of the windows were ruined therefore you could not see out the windows to enjoy the view. There is never water for the hot water heater to take showers or run the dishwasher. The refrigerator froze all the groceries we bought. No screens on the doors of the windows so the house was flooded but then sucks every time you went into her out the door. The river or the bayou in front of the cabin was covered in green plants and mud, making it impossible to enjoy the water toys. The swamps full of reptiles and things that would get you. The front patio out of the three houses was the only one with old Mossey splintery wood decks and extremely uneven patio pavers that you trip and kill your cell phone . The patio furniture and table was full of webs and spiders and mold and leaves very unappealing. The pots and pans look like they came from a good year 10 years ago with most of the Teflon missing on the pounds, toaster didn’t work. In general and inferior kitchen . And when you woke up in the morning there had to be 2000 bugs from the lamps on in the house. Now this might appeal to some people so don’t get me wrong it could be just the right thing for you. But it made my stay with my family miserable for me because they didn’t like me complaining about the condition of the property and they made apologies to the caretakers on my behalf which I didn’t appreciate .. I should’ve just turned around and run.
