About this cabin rental

The Gator Getaway is the perfect escape from reality located in the swampy town of Manchac, Louisiana. It is the ideal place for a stay near the water with no boat required! The historic building was the original Church of Manchac and was remodeled into a home. Located within walking distance to the famous Middendorf's Restaurant! Also nearby is the public boat launch, Sun Buns river bar boat taxi, and other local favorite spots! Located about 40 miles outside of New Orleans.

The house is a cozy one bedroom, one bathroom home with a pull out couch (with a mattress topper) in the living room. The outdoor patio area is the perfect place to relax, enjoy the company of friends and family, or even appreciate some alone time while listening to the sounds of the swamp.

There is plenty of room for parking vehicles and boats in front of the house and even along the street. The Gator Getaway is road accessible only but with plenty of space to park a boat and trailer. The public boat launch is only one minute away!

All guests will be provided with bug spray and other repellents to help with Louisiana mosquitos while enjoying the outdoors. However, guests should be aware that this is located in the swamp and outdoor insects are only controllable to an extent. The house is located near railroad tracks and guests may hear a train pass through from time to time. The schedule is unpredictable so it varies for each stay.

We are a bit boring, so New Orleans got too much for us really fast. We thoroughly enjoyed staying off the beaten path and seeing the swamplands of southern Louisiana.The house is just precious. Plenty of room to relax and stretch out. Great communication from the owner, plenty of amenities, and Middendorf's at the end of the street was fantastic.Generously sized kitchen and fridge, ample space in the bedroom, comfy couch, and everything you'll need for overnight stays. Would definitely stay again.

I could not get in touch with the host or anyone else regarding my needs. I was locked out and did not get a chance to do anything at the property location. I feel scammed. The host did not provide any personal contact information and all electronic information was too late to be helpful.

Perfect location! If you want to go to the city, easy drive since it is right off interstate! Host was very nice and easy to contact. Loved the back porch area. You are in the swamp, so there are bugs. But, those will be wherever you go in Louisiana. There is a train behind the rental, but that isn’t a make or break and doesn’t disturb sleep! Some improvements would be to add a tv to the bedroom to block out train sound and cut away some overgrowth of the lawn area (these are just suggestions), but we would definitely come back regardless! Really loved the place and area!!

I really enjoyed my stay at this house! Very conveniently located. Just make sure you gas up as the nearest gas station is about 10 miles out. Christen is an amazing communicator and keeps a nice place! Would love to stay again if possible. :)
