Comfy Cottage

The grounds and cottage are very delightful with outdoor seating. The kitchen had everything you need to prepare meals. Beds were comfy. Loved being in walking distance to the Sponge Docks, restaurants and shopping. Bicycles were available to use and the bike trail was close by. John and Linda are very attentive and available for any questions or requests. Enjoyed sharing stories with John and appreciate his tips on places to visit around the area. Highly recommend staying here for a chill place to stay.

Home away from home

This little cottage unit felt very welcoming the minute we walked in the door. Everything was perfect. It’s in a wonderful location as it is within walking distance to the bayou and the downtown area. There’s quite a few wonderful restaurants close by also. We loved it and will definitely stay there again.
