About this property

New Orleans northshore retreat. One hour from the city to tranquility.

A french country home tucked in a wooded sanctuary overlooking a quiet pond. The property has beautiful views and abundant wildlife. The home includes a living room, dining room and a large country kitchen. There are three bedrooms and have their own private bathrooms. Each bedroom comfortably fits two adults. I have accommodated up to 3 in the largest bedroom. Two bedrooms have king size beds and one bedroom has a queen size bed.
The home opens onto a large flagstone patio that overlooks the pond where you may see deer, blue heron, egrets and koi. Nearby attractions are Global Wildlife (nature preserve), Ponchartrain Vineyard, farmers markets, antique shops, and various festivals and art shows year round. Folsom is also known equestrian center and hosts many nationally recognized shows (hunter-jumper, dressage). Polo tournaments are held every Sunday in polo season across from my property.
I am located only 45-60 minutes from New Orleans. Many guests enjoy New Orleans and look forward to coming back to the peace and tranquility of the country.

Did not stay
We arrived late in the evening - the directions on maps were incorrect, the directions on VRBO were incorrect, the directions on WAZE got us close, however there were not any signs and we had to turn left and go around a long fence - some additional signage would be helpful, especially in the dark. We had to call the host for directions- she lived close by - and came quickly to help. When we went inside, there was an immediate odor of mold and dander like the home had been closed for some time. We looked around to give it a bit more time, but the longer we stayed, the stronger the odor of mold. We have three people in our property allergic to mold and their eyes started watering and throats started getting itchy. We made the immediate decision to leave this VRBO and go to a hotel. The coffee pot had mold in it, there was not any carpet in the dining room and the property needed to be deep cleaned. It was unfortunate because we were looking forward to the view in the morning.

nice place in the country
This is a nice home in the country with plenty of space. The owner is nearby and is accessible for any needs. One improvement I would suggest is to make the house brighter, as there are not many lights inside and the ones that are there don't provide enough light.
