Cozy Cottage with Guest House, Gazebo and Deck

Cozy Cottage with a separate guest house is in the country near Abita Brewery, wineries, Lake Ponchartrain, and a short drive to New Orleans. This historic barge board cottage on private property has a covered gazebo, wraparound screened-in porch, outdoor deck and walking paths through the woods to see foliage, squirrels, and birds. One of the features I love most and guests constantly refer to is the huge screened wraparound porch -- a great space for listening to birdsong and admiring the beauty of the woods. Look for the cardinals who will come to visit in the azaleas along the side of the porch. Ample parking. Nice set up for guests who need two separate areas since the guest house sports its own porch, two bedrooms, and a full bath. Kitchen is fully stocked with all you need to prepare a gourmet dinner or something simple to enjoy on the deck or screen porch. There are four bedrooms: two in the main house and two in the guest house. The main house front bedroom contains a double bed to accommodate two guests and the back bedroom offers a queen bed for two guests. There are three twin beds in the guest house to accommodate three guests. Both buildings have a full bath.

Sweet Retreat

We visited Louisiana for a graduation, the house had more than enough space. Like a secluded retreat tucked away, but very close to everything you need. No complaints. The porch was a treat at the end of the night. Very comfortable beds. Very clean.

Quaint and Kozy

Our experience overall was great! We were pleased that all was in order and ready for use.We enjoyed excellent privacy and convenient access in all directions to places we planned to visit. We had all the conveniences we have at home. There was an abundance of space to enjoy. We'll consider staying at the Cozy Cottage when we visit the area again as we do have family in the area. Thanks again Miss Merry.

Nice retreat

Beautiful little cottage suitable for parents to stay in the main house and children to stay in the guest house for their own space. Guest house smells a bit “funny” and fitting in a third cot is a bit of a stretch but, all in all, a good stay for us.

Grandma house - a good thing!

Our stay reminded both of us visiting our Grandmother houses growing up and that is a great memory to experience again. Loved the charm of the house & wood floors and screened in porch. We now have this house tagged as our go to when visiting our daughter and son in law.
