Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Previous Guests:
“Place was great for a gameday weekend at LSU for a big group. Backyard was awesome with a TV and great deck furniture. Waffle maker with all the supplies was a nice touch. Check-In and Check-Out didn't provide any flexibility was the only complaint as it was a bit later at 4pm and early check out of 10am. Otherwise, great stay and would definitely stay again.”–Mitch
“House was wonderfully done. House was super cute. Beds and linens comfortable, decor was adorable, and had everything we needed. It was a great walking distance to LSU.”–Lizzy
“Kelsey is very responsive to any big or little questions you may have before you go and while you are there! Thank you for a peaceful, beautiful, comfortable, and relaxing place to stay! We highly recommend spending time here.” –Tiffany (Other Location)
