This house was super cute and in such a great location. Walking distance to some neat spots and driving distance to everything you would want to do near New Orleans. All the food in this area is amazing! The host was great and super responsive and clearly takes a lot of pride in this home. Really a weekend I will never forget.

Girls’ Trip
Four of us had a great time staying at Rhonda’s house ! We loved the proximity to town and pretty much anything else . We hiked the nearby trails as well as the close by state park. The alligator farm and swamp boat ride were fun and easy to get to. The brewery tour was something different to try out. Rhonda had all sorts of information at the house for us to peruse as well as bananas and donuts which made from a quick breakfast grab heading out the door in the morning. The place was super clean and decorated oh so cute! We were only an hour from New Orleans so we were able to spend a day there as well. It couldn’t have been a more positive experience! Thank you, Rhonda, for all of the communication and little details. We had a blast!

Perfect Weekend Away!!!
This home is absolutely lovely! We could not have asked for a better place to spend our anniversary weekend! There is so much to do around the area. Everything was within 10 mins of the house. The home is so welcoming and decorated beautifully. Rhonda was amazing and very attentive. She made sure we all the information we needed and was so willing to answer any questions we had. Everything we needed was in the home, including a Keurig with coffee pods, creamer, sweetener etc! I loved all the little touches including the "make up towels!!" I highly recommend booking this amazing home and appreciate that Ronda goes above and beyond for her guests. We will definitely be back!!!

Great Getaway
Rhonda's property is amazing. Easy check-in. Great communication with owner. This is probably the best equipped kitchen we have seen in a VRBO rental. The house was exceptionally clean. The environment is amazing and Rhonda was very easy to communicate with. She even left treats and fruit which was quite a plus. Thank you Rhonda for allowing us to stay at your rental. We will definitely recommend this place and/or stay here again. Thank you, Rhonda!

Fabulous Experience Start to Finish
The house was adorable but even better was the owner, Rhonda. She personally communicated with me before our arrival. She had waters in the refrigerator as well as bananas and delicious donuts for us to snack on (and we did when we arrived at midnight)! Overall a great VRBO experience and I would highly recommend renting this property if you looking for a place in Abita Springs.

Great House!
Perfect 3 bedroom for my family, (my parents, my wife, and my child) enough room to spread out, and enjoy the area. The porches where great, and an added plus is the location to the greenway, I got to get a good run in every morning, not to mention you can walk to Abita Springs and miss the parking situation, it is literally just .5 mile from the house. All in all a great little get away for the week.

Abita Springs is a gem
We visited family for Thanksgiving that lived nearby, and this property was appealing. Close enough to NOLO if you wanted to do that. The big surprise for us was the property is one block from the Tawanny Trail, which is part of the Rails 2 Trails system. We will go back and take our bikes the next time.
