About this property

Entire place

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 and continental breakfast included.

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.

Great stay in a cute, quiet cottage
The cottage is darling -- very comfortable, well decorated, and clean! It was also a little bigger than I expected based on online photos. Owner was helpful and offered fantastic communication on her end! *Unfortunately, my VRBO app wouldn't allow me to respond to her messages, and she didn't send another means (perhaps text or a direct email address) to reach her. She couldn't have known that's why I wasn't responding, however, so that's not unexpected. Just posting here so she'll know moving forward that if she never hears from a guest, that could be why.* Back to the cottage...we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The location is a bit further from the lakefront than we had wanted, but it turned out fine for our family. It's not in a very walkable area for groups without a car. Sofa and beds were extremely comfortable. We enjoyed all of the TV options on the day it rained. The kitchen was well apppointed. A few recommendations: -I wish there had been more towels and wash cloths provided since there isn't a washer/dryer available. -The decorative orange pillow cases in the back bedroom had a foul odor. -Fan in back bedroom is terribly unbalanced. -Would've liked an extra blanket or two in the living room for movie time. -Bathroom needs a lock.

Great stay in Mandeville. Guest house is roomy with 2 bedrooms and all the amenities you need. Separate parking for easy in and outs. A couple of blocks from downtown and the water. Easy commute to the trailhead if you are enjoying the bike trails.

Perfect place for us!
The place was a perfect place to rest while we visited our family. My husband who is almost 80 enjoyed riding bike every day. We found the place better than the pictures. The dogs only bark if there is a concern and we felt safer having them around. Beds are comfortable and all linens comfortable. The place was spotless.
