Great stay at Michael’s place. Excellent location, clean and well appointed with everything we needed. Michael even stopped by to make sure all was well. Highly recommend Rips on the lake for a night out as well as the cute historical downtown area of Mandeville.

Awesome Stay!

The property was exactly how it was listed. We brought 3 dogs with us and there was plenty of space for them plus our 4 adults and 1 teen. The owner was very helpful and communicative! Check in and check out was super easy! Wish we would have stayed for longer to explore the area more. We have already talked about coming back for a visit! We came for a wedding in the area and everything was super close to the property! Thank you again for allowing us to stay!

Perfect

Exactly as advertised. Property owner shared all needed info quickly and efficiently. No other contact required. Property was beautiful and exactly what we were hoping for. Check in and out process was quick with easy instructions to set up the cleaning crew to have the property ready for the owners to return to and enjoy or to allow the next guests to have the same experience we did. Excellent in every way. In case it helps anyone, we were 4 adults (family and long-time friends) and one 5 yr old child.

We couldn’t have hoped for more from our stay. In the run-up to our booking, and throughout our stay, Michael was very responsive and helpful. The cottage is perfect. Very spacious and clean with every convenience you could want. It really is a home away from home. Such a quiet little spot but close to the joys of Old Mandeville. My husband and I were able to both work remotely using the WiFi without any issue. We look forward to returning!
