Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Lake Pontchartrain

Really enjoyed our SECOND stay at this quaint home. We returned from 5 months ago because of the kindness and hosting skills of Linda. She is a joy and we went shopping at her floral store walking distance from her home. She is thoughtful, considerate in all areas of hospitality. She is a guests favorite for this reason. We will return as a regular. I recommend a stay here to visit New Orleans or to get away from it all and enjoy local Louisiana cuisine. Kindest regards, Burt Huete

Very unique cottage which is walking distance to the public beach. Lots of outdoor activities could have been possible, but we only stayed for 2 nights. Close to everything including groceries, restaurants, and coffee shops. Wish we stayed here longer!

Stephen’s place was extremely nice and felt like a home away from home. The host and his wife were super responsive and offered a wide range of amenities. They were super friendly and accommodating, they even helped provide suggestions for activities to do when we were running short of ideas.

Great location, other than the street being so small, but that's not anyone but the cities fault! The host was friendly and very attentive while also allowing my guest and me to feel like we actually had privacy. Would definitely recommend this space as a great place to call home while exploring not only Bourbon Street but even the local Bywater district. 10-minute drive to the French Quarter and a 5-minute walk from the local bar scene and food Bywater has to offer. This space was not but 5 minutes away from one of the top barbecue spots in all of Louisiana, so a hidden gem doesn't even do justice.

Wonderful home will definitely be booking again!

The home has a charming vintage feel with beautiful original details. It was cozy, peaceful, and perfectly located—whether you're here for the music, food, history, or culture, it's an ideal base for exploring New Orleans.

100 recommend this host and property. The pictures do not do justice to the beautiful scenery, peaceful and private location, and historic charm of this place. Stephen and his family are extremely hospitable, very welcoming, friendly and accommodating. We hope to come back again very soon!

Great location and Space! I truly enjoyed my stay at Krista’s wonderful lodging!

Our stay at the Michigan Apartment was very nice and cozy. We appreciated the attention to detail in the cleanliness of the apartment. Host was very helpful and accommodating to our needs. It was a beautiful and safe area. We were very satisfied with our stay.

A lovely weekend away in this beautiful home! So full of character and very comfortable with everything we could have needed. Great location and walkable into the French Quarter along the river if you’d like a stroll. Couldn’t have asked for a better base for our first time in NOLA.

If you are looking for a quiet place to unwind, Carol’s apartment is for you. Wake up to a view on the lake after a good night’s sleep and let nature do its magic. We enjoyed working remotely from the sunroom and grilling at sunset. Carol was very responsive and we had an amazing time. Note the nearest grocery store is a 25 minute drive but Walmart does same day deliveries!

Perfect place, if You (as me) has a conference in nearby University. Very clean, nice garden, nice owner. Public transport nearby. A good coffe at the university 3min away. Please just note, there are almost no groceries or shops or restaurants in short walking distance from house. But interior is very nice and stay was perfect. Andy

Had another wonderful week in the Studio. Such a great location and love being enveloped in trees! Barbara is always pleasant and lively, she’s an inspiration.

Its a wonderful, old, quirky space that has been updated and is totally functional and roomy. The location is perfect for access to the various neighborhoods in NOLA. Very close to good restaurants, short walk to the Quarter etc. The C unit is up three flights of stairs (which I missed in the pictures and description) which wasn't really a problem except we had one person in a "boot". Otherwise it was clean and safe, functional and historic. So all in all very nice.

The house is perfect for what we needed. The kitchen had everything! Easy to get in and out of ! Close to everything! Also they had prime video on their TV! A plus it you don’t have your password with you!

Joe was the most genuine and kind host I think I have ever had. Paul too!!! The home was stunning and cozy, always cool after a long walk around the city. The neighbors were friendly and the neighborhood never felt uncomfortable for even a second. We even had a moment of panic on our last night when we couldn't find our key (we did end up finding it.. phew) and Joe was helpful and understanding at a late hour. My only regret is not taking the chance to get to know the neighbors better!! Thank you again for being our home away from home for our honeymoon!!! Love - The Niedzinski Family

Loved loved loved our stay! The cabin was super clean and very private. We loved the property and access to the creek. Only bad thing was having to leave! We definitely recommend this place if you’re looking to get away, relax, and enjoy nature.

We found this place very peaceful and quiet. It’s a camp environment, but very clean and has great WiFi.

David was a great host with great communication. Would stay at David’s again and would recommend to others.

Had a wonderful stay! The place is beautifully decorated, great amenities, attention to every single detail and all you need for a perfect home away from home. Incredibly clean, too. Our dog loved swimming in the pond and discovering the outdoors. Enjoyed having coffee in the mornings on the front porch looking at the beautiful landscape while listening to the wild life. Highly recommend it!

We spent a month at Catie's cabin on the river and couldn't have been more pleased. The cabin is rustic and comfortable, not unlike something you would have been happy to find a generation ago, but absolutely modern with great wifi and cable TV. Lots of dishes, pots and pans, everything (and I mean everything) you might want. Very quiet on a dead-end road meaning there was no vehicle traffic. Just the occasional boat drifting by. Catie responded immediately if we had a question. This property is a real find and a bargain. We were delighted to find it.

This cabin wasn’t just a place to stay - it became our own slice of heaven, hidden from the world and steeped in wild beauty. We spent six unforgettable days wrapped in the arms of the forest, swimming and kayaking in the river, picnicking on white sandbanks along the shore, and soaking in the hot tub under the stars. At night, nature's orchestra came alive - crickets, cicadas, and bullfrogs in a powerful, primal chorus. We sat by the fire, totally immersed and in awe of it all. The cabin is rustic, simple, and soulful... not five-star hotel luxury, but something far deeper. Yes, there are bugs, and yes, you’ll get a few bites - but the magic makes it more than worth it. (Dab bites with alcohol and carry on!) Krista, our host, was amazing - present if needed, but respectful of our solitude. We grilled dinner, boiled shrimp over the fire, and got engaged here. This place will forever hold our hearts. We can’t wait to return!

A serene cabin in a great location with tons of nature and water nearby. We really enjoyed the pond, the canoe, and the outdoor games provided. Easy to get into town for supplies. Communication was quick and clear with the hosts.

Had a wonderful long weekend at Jeanne's cottage. Great view with a great beach just off the back porch. The cabin has plenty of seating and doesn't feel cramped. Window unit A/Cs in each room, so each person can set the temperature how they prefer. The only thing that was a little bit of a surprise is there are are a handful of homes within the same area of land, so you don't have total privacy, but that wasn't a big deal for us. Also, one of the pics shows people on tubes and we were hoping to watch people tubing by the cabin, but that didn't happen. I think the pic was of a family playing in the river and using the tubes provided at the cabin (which was GREAT fun, the river felt fantastic!). Overall, a great place and well worth the price.
