Your Fall Country Escape Awaits! 🍁
Country charm meets dog-friendly fun at our newly renovated home on secluded 24 acres.
Let pups run free, fish or kayak in the ponds. Then take a nap in a hammock, or gather on the large covered patio with outdoor cooking & dining.
End the night by the fire pit under starlit skies.
Built in 1902, this newly renovated 1,200 sq. ft. cottage (3 beds, 1 bath) is designed for a family getaways, couples weekend, group events and retriever folks. While you’ll feel worlds away in your private haven, you’re only 15 minutes from Zachary and a short drive to Baton Rouge.
