Charming Cottage on Scenic Bayou Bonfouca

It was hard to believe we were so close to civilization because the property seemed so secluded. The place had a nice camp feel, and was very conducive to relaxation!

Absolutely loved it. Very peaceful. Beautiful scenary. Owner checked on us several times. Really good location...out by yourself but just minutes from everything. Highly recommended!

Cute cottage with everything you need. Wildlife viewing on the bayou was fantastic

Owner was awesome. Love being on the Bayou. Seen otters and Alligators in the pond the house was so cute.

Basic and beautiful cottage right on the bayou. Perfect place to relax and unwind. Great for nature lovers yet close enough to NoLA and MSY. Thank you, Lucy, for a memorable stay and hope to make it back some day soon.

My husband and I spent an amazing week at the property for our honeymoon. The location was amazing. Close enough to visit New Orleans and other sites but wonderfully private. The owner was great with communication and directions to the property and even left us some cookies and bottled water for our arrival. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay and when we are planning a trip to the area again we have our home away from home.

Hats off to Lucy!! Our host was wonderful! She communicated very well. (She also has a lovely art and restored furniture shop on Front St. in Slidell called Lulu’s Nearly New) We only had one little plumbing issue but Lucy took care of it right away and made sure it couldn’t happen again and she even threw in a nice perk for us to make up for it! The cottage is well-built, clean and comfortable and neatly decorated to fit the local scene. The surroundings are beautiful (and we went in early March so not even peak beauty). The Liberty and Paquet Bayous going by were teeming with jumping little fish and we even saw a few gators but they didn’t come near the property. Between the house and Bayou is a marshy grassland area were we saw birds and a little pond with frogs, nutria, and even an otter. The forest to the right was wild and lovely, right next to a nature preserve, and we could see an osprey in a tall pine tree and other wildlife. The neighborhood was quiet and safe with only two other houses at the end of the cul-de-sac with us and only one lived in full time I think. It’s out of the way but not too secluded. (FYI, don’t trust Google or Imaps to get you there but Lucy gives great directions and it’s easy to find.) It was a great HQ for exploring the area. Recommended by my wife and I for sure!

Stayed in February. Though it was cold, even by Louisiana standards, the thoughtful owner provided plenty of extra heaters and blankets. House is so cute decorated with artwork and the view from deck is inspiring. Will definitely recommend for outdoorsy folks who want to stay of the city to enjoy local wildlife.

This property was beautiful, and the inside of the house was decorated beautifully. Such a nice relaxing stay for our mini vacation.

The cottage was perfect. Cute, with a beautiful setting and all the wildlife we hoped for. The timing that put us there in the middle of a flood event took some of the fun out of it, but not near enough to prevent us from booking the same house the next time we visit the area. WE LOVED THIS PROPERTY!!
