    We were in town for a family wedding and this spot was perfect! I think it’s safe to say this is one of the best and most beautiful homes I’ve ever stayed in. It was cozy and stocked with everything we could need. Ursula was amazing with responding immediately! I will definitely recommend this spot to anyone heading to Ponchatoula and we will definitley be back!!

    The property was fine. Perfect for 9 people. There were some holes in the floor and it could use a good deep cleaning. The complimentary breakfast that is offered consisted of a box of open waffles in the freezer. The host Jeff and Ursula were a nightmare. First off Jeff shows up at the house and talks to my underage granddaughter about the gate that he heard was broken. He knew about the gate because of the cameras he has watching. We offered to fix the gate but he said he would fix it himself. Then he started about the mix up with the number of people booked to stay in the home. So my family and my 82 year old parents were threatened with eviction in the middle of the night. The eviction notice and threat came through my personal text instead of VRBO. Jeff asked for the extra money through Venmo instead of using VRBO. I refused. The person I spoke with at VRBO said I did the right thing by refusing to pay him. I paid the money owed to VRBO and finished our travels.

    We had a great time enjoying the spring weather on the front porch swing and rocking chairs. This is a historical home that has been updated well. It's right close to some excellent restaurants in downtown Ponchatoula as well. I recommend Roux and Brew.

    We came is from Houston stayed 3 nights for a wedding and to visit family. I grew up just a few blocks an away so the location was very nostalgic. The house was exactly the right fit for our trip and easily accommodated our group. We had everything we needed for the stay the host’s extra touches were appreciated. We enjoyed breakafast at Paul’s cafe and dinner at Roux and Brew. We shopped at all the stores along Main st and spent several house just relaxing on the front porch. We will be booking again for our next visit.

We especially appreciated the thoughtful dog-friendly amenities — it made traveling with our pups so much easier. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would absolutely stay again!

    This house was very charming. The host was very helpful and responded to messages very quickly! She knew great places to shop and eat. Any question or problem that I had was immediately addressed and resolved. The beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of linens for both beds and bath. There were 3 different outside sitting areas which was very helpful because they were situated in such a way that you had a pleasant place to be outside no matter where the sun was positioned. I highly recommend this VRBO!

    What can I say but WOW!! From the minute I opened the door and looked inside this charming house I knew I made the right decision. This house is loaded to the max with anything you would need for your stay. It is so beautifully decorated and in a great neighborhood. Had no problem with neighbors or excessive noise. If we are we’ve in the area again we would definitely choose to stay here! Ponchatoula is a great little town with charming shops, nice antique stores and cutting edge places to dine. Thank you for making our stay enjoyable!!!! 10 out of 10 stars

    Fabulous restored home in quaint Ponchatoula!! It was perfect for our group of 8 guests, and we appreciated the little touches like extra water and snacks. We loved the nice beds and comfy furniture in living room. The carport was nice as well, as it was raining when we arrived! The yard and corner lot we very well kept - and the neighborhood was easy to walk around. Great family reunion trip, and perfect stay!!

    We had an issue with the ice maker in the refrigerator, it didn’t work. The veggie drawer froze our fresh fruit and veggies costing us. Also, the dryer didn’t work at all so we had to go to a laundromat to dry our clothes. It couldn’t be replaced/repaired u til after our stay, the owner offered to dry our clothes but we were uncomfortable with that option. For the amount of money we paid, I expected no less than everything in working order. A little disappointed with this VRBO.

    My youngest daughter and I traveled to Louisiana for the birth of a grandchild . Due to an unforeseen postnatal situation , we had to delay our departure. We then were fortunate enough to find this rental which was so comfortable and inviting . The hosts were formidable , rendering the whole experience very soothing. The home style atmosphere of this rental was truly a port in a storm . Thank you .I would definitely recommend this rental to anyone traveling to this area.

    On 10/31/2024, we enjoyed an early arrival with two small pups. We relaxed in the lovely “Home away from Home ” before meeting our grandchildren for the big night. About a block from their home, the sky opened up. Although soaked & tired, we returned and slept wonderfully listening to the rain on the tin roof.
