This property was fabulous for our family of 8. Came in for our Family Reunion where we had family spread out all over NOLA .We enjoyed the house so much that we wished we had stayed a couple more days.
8.0
Plenty of room for a family of 7 adults. Very quiet setting. House could use a small amount of TLC, minor things like several blown light bulbs. Pool is larger than usual and works great. Pool could use a little tile maintenance. Grounds would be more beautiful if it was mowed a little more often. Covered porch on back deck has been removed, it isn't a covered seating area as pictured. Extremely hot without shade. AC in the house works great. Lots of seating throughout. Ping-pong table was hours of fun. All and all I give this property a 4 out of 5. I would definitely recommend this property.
Owner Communication was awesome. Easy check in and out!

The host was great. Easy communication. The house was ready earlier than the check in time, and he let me know in case I was waiting. Which, of course, he didn’t have to do. Pool and yard maintenance is well done, especially considering the size of the yard. We came to visit nearby family, so we’ll plan to stay here again.

We booked this home for family to stay in during our wedding weekend. Everything was clean and well taken care of. Served our purposes perfectly! Plenty of space. The property is quiet and beautiful! We took family photos by many of the stunning old oaks and I’m so excited to see the photos! Great for hosting a large family. Beds are comfortable and very inviting.

We had an absolute blast at this property. The kids LOVED the pool. The property was picturesque and calming. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. There was plenty of room to sleep and the playroom upstairs was an awesome addition! I actually got to relax and unwind while there. It’s close to the city and made it easy to run grab a couple little things here and there.

We loved this property! It was very quiet with plenty of space for our family of 7. We loved the pool and fished on the property. It was a short distance to New Orleans.

The house was the perfect place to host my daughters bridal party and to use the day of the wedding to get ready. The grounds were beautiful for outside bridal pictures. We are very grateful that the owners allowed us to use the house for the wedding day by having make up people, hair dressers, photographers and videographers on the property. It was the perfect day for my daughter!

Property is relaxing and spacious yet not too far from New Orleans and festivities. Wonderful long weekend experience

The town of Slidell is full of great restaurants and any convenience you need. It was great being about 30-40 minutes from New Orleans and still being able to escape to our quiet retreat in the evenings. With nine adults, we had plenty of room to spread out, play board games and watch TV at this home.

This property was spectacular! It was close to New Orleans but provided a quiet, private, and relaxing atmosphere away from all the noise. The host was quick to respond and accommodating with our groups varying travel arrangements. It instantly felt like home.

Great house and management
Even with a problem, out of everyone’s control, it was taken care of quickly and professionally. Not one person in the group was unsatisfied with the accommodations. I would highly recommend this house for anyone going too the area.

GROSS
This house was the filthiest house we have ever rented. We spent our first day cleaning everything. We took photos of black mold on AC vents, dust all over, grease and god only only knows what else on kitchen cupboards, silverware had food stick all over it, there was old food and crumbs stuck between the fridge and cabinets. The pool was green most of time, there was underwear in the side yard and down by the bayou. The beds on the main floor were absolutely uncomfortable. Over all you can tell the house and pool are NOT maintained properly for it to even be rented out to others. Such a shame because the property is beautiful and so is the house. Its just dirty and gross. I wish I could share the photos. I did send photos to the house manager after we left so they could see how bad it was. They wished I has told them when we got there but who wants to be bothered having a cleaning crew come with all our belongs and family? It was embarrassing enough for us to have invited our family there. We shouldn't even had to have dealt with it! I suggest finding another house to rent before staying here! Our family has stayed in Slidell before and there are WAY better places to stay!

Very good site for vacation in family and friends
Beautiful house, with a huge garden, a good swimming pool but not heated. A lot of bathroom, all aminities in the kitchen and the bar. Walmart is 12min, so convenient for shopping. 45 min to New Orleans
The owner responded and helped very faster.

Great stay
I would chose this home for the property manager alone. Great communication. Very attentive. Gave all the best recommendations on foods and activities. Slidell is a great treasure. The home was fantastic, location was close the everything yet had 100% privacy. Would highly recommend!!

Fun Time
Lots of space inside and out! Having a pool allowed the kids to spend a great deal of time outside. While the grounds were beautiful, heavy rains prior to and during our visit made it difficult to get to the bayou area for fishing. The house was so large and allowed for our “crowd” to enjoy different indoor activities simultaneously. And Erick, property manager, was very helpful, responding quickly to our questions or requests.

Our kids had a great time at this property. We were disappointment that the picture showed a slide and diving board but there were none when we got there

Amazing Stay!
Above and beyond what we expected. The bar was our nightly hang out area and it had left over liquor and wine waiting there. The pool guy came twice to keep pool in check, and the chairs were relaxing to sit pool side. Any issues or questions Eric was very responsive and even came over twice to fix small issues. Rooms spacious, beds comfortable, and TVs and internet were up to date and fast speed. We were able to move tables and furniture around and make ourselves at home while there. Two grills and a deep fryer were under the house which made cooking food outside an option. Grounds were beautiful. Quite and private and no issues with neighbors or community. Felt safe! Easy to access stores and places to go in town. Only downsides to the house were no ice maker, no shower curtain on 4th bathroom, and it did get hot in some rooms due to lack of curtains. Sleeping in was tough due to the rooms upstairs being bright in am. Overall there was way more positive to say and it was such an enjoyable stay and Eric is an amazing friendly man who really wants you to enjoy your time at the house and area.

We enjoyed our stay!!

Just had to review that this house in Slidell is beautiful! We loved it. However, the toilet off of the game room area doesn't work and I hope that gets fixed. Also, the pinball machines were not operable and we had really hoped they would be. Other than those two issues, it was a beautiful property and house with all of the amenities! We would definitely return!Yvette

Spacious Home on Spacious Grounds
This home is the perfect home for a family with tweens or teens. There was room enough for my children aged 12, 13 and 17 to have their own space. We loved playing ping pong and walking the grounds. We would have loved to be able to play the antique pinball machines. The neighbors were friendly. The house is close enough to anything you might desire in Slidell . Eric, the property manager was available for any questions. Would stay here again if we return to Slidell.

Will stay here again!
Beautiful, comfortable house and lovely property. Our 11 year old loved playing ping pong, playing the 80's arcade games and swimming. The rooms are clean, comfortable and big. The kitchen worked really well for the meals we made and the pool was perfect. Even in October!
