Great place for a large family to stay
We wanted to take the whole family to Jazz Fest. We had a total of 10 adults and 9 grandchildren 12 and under. They all loved the pool and fishing was excellent. Larry the owner was wonderful to work with through the entire process. Couldn’t recommend more highly.

A perfect group house on the water
We adored our stay at the Lake House and highly recommend it! Out of all the houses we've stayed in the NOLA area this is hands-down our favorite. Larry was very responsive and check in was a breeze. We found the house very clean and well-stocked. We appreciated that the dock and pool were gated for extra safety. This spot is a bird watchers dream, it's really magical watching the herons over the lake in the morning with a coffee on the deck. Besides the scenery, the house has an ideal layout for our family gathering. There are large, open communal spaces for gathering on every level (even under the house!) but the bedrooms are private and tucked away so older folks had no problem sleeping early while others stayed up. Having two laundry rooms was a very convenient plus for our crew. The location of the house sets it apart from the neighbors and makes it feel very secluded and private, especially in the lakeside area with the pool. A perfect choice for a family reunion!

Overall Great experience
Overall the experience was very nice. Eight military brothers of a special group we reunion every year with a different host. The ability to fish and crab from the pier was absolutely wonderful. Close to golf course satisfied the group that golfed. There was not a need for space, very spacious accommodations. More than enough beds and bathrooms. Some very minor aesthetics and I was looking forward to a heated pool, but did not feel heated. But I would definitely do it again. Actually considering it for next year.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The Host was very good about responding to any questions or concerns, always responded within 30 minutes or so. The only two things we were not happy about was that every bedroom does not have a TV and, the towels, wash cloths and dish towels have a very heavy sour smell, recommend bringing them with you.

More Than We Expected
We had a group of 20 adults (ages 29+) that stayed at this lake house paradise. Everything was as pictured however the pictures doesn't do this property justice. We so fell in love with this home and scenery. Waking up every morning was so peaceful and serene. The home was spacious enough for 20 adults with no problem. We used the pool everyday and even figured out how to get it heated, it was perfection. Location was 30 mins from French Quarters and 18 mins from Nola Pedal Barge so it was perfect for us. Larry was very accommodating and easy to get in touch with. I'd def stay here again and recommend it to others. You can't go wrong booking this home.

Summer Vacation to New Orleans!
Our family spent the week at this gorgeous home during our Summer Vacation to New Orleans. This was a wonderful stay with plenty of room and many amenities! We spent many hours at the pool and enjoying the views on the deck of this lakefront house! We also enjoyed the nearby restaurants (GilliGil's Island and The Blue Crab Restaurant and Oyster Bar). This was a fantastic way to relax on the lake and be close to New Orleans. Larry was a wonderful host, and we hope to return. Definitely recommend!

Experience NOLA
Everything is as the description on VBRO with exception of heated pool. 56 degrees is not usable except as ice pack for tired feet after walking so much in NOLA. Family time together after Christmas. This is third house in three years. The bedrooms and baths were exceptional and the porch and outside spaces were great. Nine of my grands 18-26 were very content with space and adults were very comfortable. We came in behind another rental and things were done well except soap for washing instructions. Parking for six cars and a Bay boat and Slidell is a wonderful town with good eating places. We enjoyed the smoker for grilled oysters and bouidan as we made our own cajon delight meal.

Best location ever!
Our family came in from 7 different states; it was so nice to be together under one roof instead of separate hotel rooms. It enabled us to spend time together as a group! The pool was incredible and the wrap around porch was amazing! Every room was clean and spacious. It was so fun! Some chose to simply enjoy the breeze while sitting on the porch, while others spent most of their time in and around the pool. We especially enjoyed the large kitchen, dining and living area. We prepared meals together, talked, laughed, debated, played games, talked about old memories and made new ones!!!!!

Surprise 60th Birthday
What a great place to stay. Not only is it a beautiful home with an excellent view, but there is also a lot of space inside and outside to hang out. We had 6 couples in our group and never felt like we were crowded. We loved the pool during the day and at night with lights that changed colors continuously. The deck chairs were a plus around the pool to get some sun and look out over the huge lake. We loved the large pier area to fish and crab. Plus, the large area under house to cook what we caught. Getting to New Orleans was an easy drive. We loved being on Lake Pontchartrain and not in downtown New Orleans. We found a great restaurant with outside seating on the lake and live music about 5 minutes away in Slidell. The Host was responsive for any questions we had before and during our stay !!! Couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate a 60th birthday in style.

Unresponsive, unprofessional ruined 30 military reunion due to owners lack of planning.
We are extremely disappointed, as a group of Veterans (some disabled) who served the greatest country on God's green earth. Found this property and was looking forward to our 30th reunion found a house that was extremely filthy, puddles of unknown liquid on the floor, beds that were extremly slept in and food, dishes. We even checked in a few hours late, because some of our group own rental properties and like to do a walk through with our house cleaning staff prior to check in. This was not the case and when we try to contact owner he wanted to remove cleaning charge. This was boarding disrespectfull since we flew in from all over the state to stay her to correct his mistake and we attempted to work with him but was told, "my cleaning person had a emergency what do you want me to do" needless to say that day we all found other accommodations but I'm sure he has done this before and will continue to do so. I hope owner learns that a customer service business is about customer service, pass this home if you want to enjoy New Orleans...look for the house owned by the Wal-Mart family gem on Vrbo.

My cleaning lady was not able to clean the house. I could not find a person at the last minute. I told them that I could get someone the next day and refund the cleaning plus give them an extra $1000. They wanted half of all the money back. $2500. I told them that was unfair. So I refunded them all of their money and they left.

Family get together
The property is beautiful and the views are amazing, especially the sunsets! It is a very large house and accommodated our group of 11 perfectly. There are definitely some things lacking and the property could use a little updating. The kitchen did not have dish towels, we had to purchase our own corkscrew and there is only 5 coffee mugs. The handle came off the back door when opening it (we were able to fix it) but could be a security concern. I would recommend bringing your own pillows because the ones there are flat. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others but at the price per night, one would expect it to have all of the necessary amenities and some upgrades.

I leave my cell number with everyone. If you need something just call. When you go to a hotel, if something is missing, you call the front desk. This guest did not call me. We try to provide for everything. I give personal service when you call. Also, she said something about my price per night. For as many people as it sleeps, the size of this house with a private pool, I feel that it's a very fair rate.

Sixty Year Wedding Anniversary
Our family rented this location to celebrate our 60th wedding anniversary. Our family members range from 6 month to 80 years old. The home has plenty of space for everyone, including plenty of bathrooms, a wraparound porch and plenty of parking underneath the facilities. The view from the porch is outstanding, especially to watch the sunset. The pool is a bonus for everyone. We caught crabs and red fish from the pier. Our time there was very enjoyable and had no problems during our stay. It was so relaxing; it was hard to leave and hope we can visit again soon. J&P

COVID replacement wedding location
We had our plan B 2020 COVID conscience wedding in the backyard of this beautiful property and it was better than expected. While in my experience Larry is a man of few words and wouldn’t give us some of the details we asked for however it all worked out in the end. In other words Larry is NO wedding planner/Corrdinator but for the DIY bride this place is beautiful for a small backyard wedding. One thing I wanted to know before the weekend was the rooms and now they were laid out for our guests, so here goes my attempt and explaining for future guests. There are 2 bedrooms on the first floor with 1 queen bed each and there own private en-suite bathrooms. 1 bedroom on the first floor has 2 queen beds and a bathroom right outside of the door so convenient but not private, this is right near the spacious laundry room. The second floor has 4 bedrooms each has 2 beds, so 8 beds total in 4 rooms. None of these has a private en-suite but there is 1 full bath and 1 half bath upstairs. All the ladies got ready upstairs with 2 makeup and hair people using the common room upstairs to get everyone ready. There was plenty room for everyone. Hope this helps some future bride.

There are 3 bedrooms downstairs. The two bedrooms with full baths in-suite have King beds, not queen. I do not claim to be a wedding planner. My add just says it's a great place to have a wedding with plenty of room.
