When you visit this area of the country it’s awesome to see the landscape, taste the flavors, learn the history. So, when we booked this rental little did we know just how exact all three would be in one house.
It’s not the fanciest. There’s no exotic planters hanging from it’s terrace…we drank wine from mugs…it didn’t have one of those historic markers attached to its front facade….what the place did have was a great host who communicated well, opened his super cool home made of barge wood to us, was no fuss, and let us enjoy our stay. He’s kinda a big deal.
There were 7 of us, and we all fit. We fit in the sleeping arrangements, the dining table, we even fit in the small backyard/garden area while hanging out. And when we weren’t hanging out there we could walk everywhere because the location was great! Stephan is a plethora of knowledge for sites to see, eating, and history.
We really loved making meals when we weren’t restauranting, the kitchen is amazing. (Robert’s grocery store is a 10 min walk). The water is hot for showers, plenty of towels and bedding, plus no fighting over beds since the couches are also futons. All the comforts of home except this home was pretty special. It had a feel to it from the richness of the wood walls to the old locks and latches that made you feel like you were surrounded by history and secret stories of Nola. Definitely loved this place, a stand out for lodging in the area.
