Exactly as pictured!
Lovely views and very clean. My only complaint would be the lack of freshness of the towels - they needed to be washed with softener and dried completely. We did that ourselves. Otherwise, it was great!

Birthday getaway
The home was clean and cozy. Im one that has the horrible habit of falling asleep to the noise of a TV. There were no tvs in the bedrooms, but I used my tablet. Worked out fine. The view of the lake was especially beautiful to wale up to. The restaurants suggested by host were delicious and good customer service. Nearly an hour drive to the city, but this made our getaway that more unique. We had the best of both worlds on this New Orleans vacay. Camp David delivered!

Perfect Bayou Getaway
If you are looking for clean, simple, comfortable getaway this place is it! The property is convenient to Mandeville and Slidell. One of the best restaurants, Sal and Judy's is right around the corner. We enjoyed the access to the water, fishing off the dock and the cute river otter that stopped for a visit.

Bliss on the bayou
Camp David is a wonderful home situated on Bayou Lacombe. It's location puts you within 15 minutes of either Slidell or Pearl River or you can drive to Metairie or New Orleans in about 45 minutes. The home is spacious and extremely comfortable. Our bed was great and every night was restful.

Relaxing time in Lacombe
We stayed here for 10 days and actually enjoyed the house and the area even more than we had anticipated. We enjoyed early morning coffee on the deck watching the sunrise over the bayou. It was beautiful. We also enjoyed the patio area under the house in the shade and usually had a very nice breeze. We played games at the table and used the grill numerous times. The beds were sooo comfortable. I have a bad back and it did great on our mattress. We enjoyed numerous outings to various area attractions but were always happy to return to "our home" in Lacombe. Laura was always available and so helpful with any questions we had. Would highly recommend a stay at Camp David.

Wonderful property and location!
Four adults stayed for a weekend for a small family trip. The house is very comfortable with good sized bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking at the house. Laura was very helpful providing links for local information and restaurants. The pictures do not do justice to the views. Both sunrise and sunset can be seen and are amazing. The waterway is peaceful. There’s plenty of fishing/crabing right from the dock. It is just a short drive into New Orleans for a visit if you like. Mandeville and Slidell have close by shopping and restaurants. We would definitely book the house again!!

Great house and peaceful
We rented this because of the great view off front porch and it didn’t disappoint us at all. Very clean, very comfortable bed beds and a great person (Laura) to work with. You will not regret staying here at all. We will be back whenever we are close and need a fantastic house. Thanks Laura.
