About this house rental

You’ll love my place because of the location, the outdoors space, and the neighborhood. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers. Meadows Manor was built in 1941. It is three stories and is 4200 square feet. Guy and Faye Barnes are only the second owners of the home. It is now a wedding and event venue as well as a bed and breakfast. No one resides in the home. We are located in downtown Ruston.

My sister and I brought our 85 yo mother to watch our nephew(her grandson) play baseball for Louisiana Tech! The owners were awesome to deal with!! VERY HELPFUL! The house is old but nice and the location was the best! Thank you

The house was perfect for a weekend stay to see my son at La. Tech. The house was used as a wedding/photography venue so there are beautiful professional pics all around the house. We ordered out and enjoyed our meal in the beautiful dining room. The antique furnishings fit the historic home. We enjoyed the cat who came up to visit every morning. It was easy to communicate with the owner.

We were in town for softball games at LA Tech. After arriving after a late game, the owner messaged me at 11 pm asking about the number of guests. She saw us on the cameras. We had 4 instead of 3 people. The owner then told me she was going to charge me double since I didn't let her know when making the reservations. I did not see that there was a $15 charge for each additional person. We were not charged the extra $90 only $45 after I explained that I did not know about the additional charge per person. The property has a lot of room, however, it needs some attention (peeling plaster and wallpaper and the driveway is in bad shape). It was not very clean and then downstairs does not cool off. We had the thermostat down to 68 and it never went under 74.

Our trip was for volleyball tournaments. This beautiful older home was perfect for our needs and very close to gym.

We enjoyed our stay. It would be good to have a mat in the tub upstairs for safety.

When traveling, part of the joy is to enter a clean welcoming space where there is room to relax, unpack, and a place to set the items used in everyday life. This house did not provide any of this. The “parlor” is furnished with older furniture, in keeping with the age of the house. This is wonderful for photo ops or for perching to talk with an acquaintance. There is no place to curl up with a book, lounge in pajamas and enjoy a glass of wine, or to share a movie with your family. There was no luggage rack or unadorned table on which to set a suitcase; there were no hangers in the wardrobe. Counter space and table tops throughout the house were either already used for nick-nacks or the tools of the wedding venue business run out of this same space. I contacted Faye to ask some questions and to let her know that we were disappointed. She was unable to talk at that time but was willing to text. Her response was defensive, saying that she has never had anyone that wasn’t happy, that her guests have loved the property and thanked her for sharing it with them. She was not hearing that we had concerns. There was a broken windowpane, peeling paint, peeling wallpaper, a corroded drain in the kitchen sink, an unused chandelier on the floor of the parlor, bare lightbulbs in a light fixture with the glass covering for the light fixture sitting on the desk, all of which I sent her pictures. After sending pictures of what looked like a year’s worth of dead bugs in the windowsill, toilet bowl rings in both bathrooms, an air conditioning intake vent caked with dust, Faye did not communicate with me for three days. On the third day she informed me that she had called VRBO and had me red flagged as a “do not rent”. We were ready to walk away from the money we had spent. We did ask for a refund because VRBO said that was our only recourse. Because we asked for a refund, I was accused of searching for something wrong with the property, that Faye was certain that I had found a cheaper place to stay and had to figure out a way to get our money back. Again, rather than speak with me, she claimed she had red flagged me with VRBO.

Quite but accessible to downtown. Only complaint was with the TV. Poor signal strength. Beautiful place though.
