The property it self is great, conveniently located to a lot, you can tell the house stays maintained and taken care of from top to bottom. There was a slight issue with water heater which was fixed and working within hours of notifying them. Truly can not recommend a better place to stay then “The Retreat on the Bayou” ##### Spencer C.
