About the host
Hosted by Elise
I am a stay home mother of two 18 -year-old boy - girl twins. I have been a resident in Houma, Louisiana which is about 60 miles SW of New Orleans. I was a teacher/librarian but I am now retired. I am currently working on a degree in interior design and I make and sell various types of jewelry. I love gardening, cooking , I enjoy traveling and spending time with family and friends. I have been married for 8 years and my husband has 3 grown children and 3 grandchildren. We have 3 small dogs- the mom Molly , the dad- Rex ,and their baby Pongo. We love our home and we'd love to have you as a guest!
Why they chose this property
We bought this home because we fell in love with the front of the house and the backyard. It is very peaceful and private. Bird watching is a must! The sound of the waterfall in the pool can soothe one's soul and help to relax and unwind.
