Southern Charm, Needs Attention

Beautiful home with southern comfort. Enough room for everyone to move around comfortably. However, miniblinds in most of the rooms were broken or missing panels. Also, a gaping hole in wall. Out of concern of what may crawl in, we plugged the hole with a plastic soda bottle during our stay.purchased more towels and toilet paper to last us during stay. Overall, a beautiful home in need of attention. most of four couples to move about comfortably.

Needs attention to the details. In hind sight we realized this is a great location for larger groups. For the price of the property, we were expecting top notch accommodations and were disappointed based on those expectations.

Nice location

This property is located in a beautiful setting. The home is decorated nicely. It is in desperate need of a good scrub and TLC. The owner also might want to invest in nicer linens, mattresses and mattress pads. Upon check out we were disgusted to find out that the master bed and another did not even have a mattress pad under the sheet and the mattress was stained and filthy. Very disgusted to think we had slept on a bed that way. Gross!

Beautiful old home on 8 acres

The town of Slidell is full of great restaurants and any convenience you need. It was great being about 30-40 minutes from New Orleans and still being able to escape to our quiet retreat in the evenings. With nine adults, we had plenty of room to spread out, play board games and watch TV at this home.

Perfect Place

The host was great. Easy communication. The house was ready earlier than the check in time, and he let me know in case I was waiting. Which, of course, he didn’t have to do. Pool and yard maintenance is well done, especially considering the size of the yard. We came to visit nearby family, so we’ll plan to stay here again.

Even with a problem, out of everyone’s control, it was taken care of quickly and professionally. Not one person in the group was unsatisfied with the accommodations. I would highly recommend this house for anyone going too the area.

Staycation Before School Starts

We had an absolute blast at this property. The kids LOVED the pool. The property was picturesque and calming. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. There was plenty of room to sleep and the playroom upstairs was an awesome addition! I actually got to relax and unwind while there. It’s close to the city and made it easy to run grab a couple little things here and there.

Perfect!

We booked this home for family to stay in during our wedding weekend. Everything was clean and well taken care of. Served our purposes perfectly! Plenty of space. The property is quiet and beautiful! We took family photos by many of the stunning old oaks and I’m so excited to see the photos! Great for hosting a large family. Beds are comfortable and very inviting.

Perfect for our bayou wedding weekend

A Louisiana native, I booked the property the weekend of my wedding at Palmetto's to a Massachusetts groom. We stayed in the house with his closest friends, and got permission to use the location for an extended family picnic on Sunday. My husband's people had minimal experience in Louisiana, and the grounds did not disappoint. They enjoyed walking the property, knocking some golf balls around, and relaxing by the pool under the stunning oaks. The only downsides were the exterior had some maintenance needs (one of the deck stairways had a completely loose board, so we used it to block that set of stairs) and the pool was quite dirty. We had a beautiful 80+ degree weekend and it would have been nice to have the pool in better shape. But, overall, the location was exactly the Louisiana experience I wanted my new and remote family to enjoy, and we had a lovely time. Everyone was completely delighted with the views and location.

Beautiful, quiet and peaceful setting!

The house was as described. It was well stocked with kitchen items and linens. Clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay there and it felt like a “home” rather than just a house away from home. Everything was in good working order and clean. I would definitely recommend this house to any family looking to get away and relax with the kiddos! Thanks, Suzy, for the use of your home and seeing to it that it is well stocked and clean!

Bridal House

The house was the perfect place to host my daughters bridal party and to use the day of the wedding to get ready. The grounds were beautiful for outside bridal pictures. We are very grateful that the owners allowed us to use the house for the wedding day by having make up people, hair dressers, photographers and videographers on the property. It was the perfect day for my daughter!

Beautiful Property but missing some basic items

Outstanding property with wonderful views of the countryside. There were some minor items which led to some inconvenience however: only 2 extra roles of toilet paper for a week visit with 7 people; there was liquid soap for bathroom sinks, there was no soap available for showers; only one large spoon for serving meals; no extra rolls of paper towels; no can opener; no Kleenex tissues; very few hangers in closets. There was no welcome or informational brochure to provide suggestions for local attractions or to disclose check-out procedures. There were mouse droppings in several places and several wasps would enter through windows in the kitchen dining area each day. Numerous food items from previous visits were still onsite when we arrived. Several of the closets had clothing and other items - not sure if these had been accumulating from previous visitors or belonged to the owner. There were two pinball machines in the game room area but neither was functional. The video arcade game did function and was fun to play as was ping pong. One of the toilets would not fill but the property manager was diligent at getting a plumber to quickly repair the toilet reservoir.

GROSS

This house was the filthiest house we have ever rented. We spent our first day cleaning everything. We took photos of black mold on AC vents, dust all over, grease and god only only knows what else on kitchen cupboards, silverware had food stick all over it, there was old food and crumbs stuck between the fridge and cabinets. The pool was green most of time, there was underwear in the side yard and down by the bayou. The beds on the main floor were absolutely uncomfortable. Over all you can tell the house and pool are NOT maintained properly for it to even be rented out to others. Such a shame because the property is beautiful and so is the house. Its just dirty and gross. I wish I could share the photos. I did send photos to the house manager after we left so they could see how bad it was. They wished I has told them when we got there but who wants to be bothered having a cleaning crew come with all our belongs and family? It was embarrassing enough for us to have invited our family there. We shouldn't even had to have dealt with it! I suggest finding another house to rent before staying here! Our family has stayed in Slidell before and there are WAY better places to stay!
