About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Quaint private cottage in the heart of Mandeville offers a quiet retreat.

Have the best of both worlds. Newly renovated 1100sf apartment offers a quiet peaceful retreat in the heart of Mandeville but only an hour drive to the bustling French Quarter!

Two queen bedroom cottage with a full kitchen is perfect for a weekend get away. Located close to the Tammany Trace, we offer two dedicated mountain bikes to renters to explore the beautiful northshore. We are located 10 blocks from the shore of Lake Pontchartrain. Complimentary coffee service.

Explore Fountainbleu State Park, enjoy the fabulous restaurants and bars in Old Mandeville, or listen to live music at nearby Rubies Roadhouse (Friday and Saturday nights only). Guests will also enjoy the peace and quiet of the property.

We have two friendly labradors on the property. They are fenced separately and won't be in direct contact, but they are on site.

Our private fenced in yard has a plunge pool which is approximately 8’ circumstance and 2’ deep. It is for the property owners private use only. We want any parent visitor with young children to understand that this small pool is on the property. Guests can access this private yard by using the emergency exit in the kitchen, so please be aware. This pool is not for guests use.

Perfect Getaway

This cottage was the perfect getaway for my wife and I. We had plans in New Orleans, but didn't want to stay in the city. Mandeville is an easy drive to and from New Orleans. The cottage itself was super cute and clean, and has all the things needed for a weekend stay. The hosts were extremely helpful, responsive, and accommodating!

Cozy Cottage

Beautiful little Cottage in a convenient quiet setting. Very close to restaurants and entertainment. Owner was very responsive. Cottage had everything we needed. My wife and I stayed here and made a trip to New Orleans to visit the WWII Museum, which is a must see (2 day trip easily). I would definitely recommend this location, and I would stay again if we are in the area.

Great experience!

We stayed at this precious cottage for a family wedding at The Greystone. The location was perfect and the amenities great. We had an infant with us so we didn’t want to stay in a traditional hotel, but have a “home away from home” for a sitter to watch the baby while we stayed close. It was a very comfortable stay! Lovely property and the beds were comfortable!
