Holiday rentals with lake access in Lake Pontchartrain

We traveled to New Orleans to celebrate our son's graduation and Rachels place on the bayou was perfect! Everything was exactly as pictured. We enjoyed the gorgeous ride in with all the spanish moss covered trees and even saw a few gators. Rachel was very responsive to messages and quickly added a night for us (we just weren't ready to leave). 10/10 recommend.

This was exactly the right choice for our small wedding. The home and yard were ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. Everything was easy to find in the home, the home was so inviting too! Just really had the best time, everyone in the family that attended also loved it. There were nothing but compliments! And Dick was probably the best host I've ever had. He was on top of things communication-wise! I thank him so much for everything. He really made my wedding so perfect.

We had to come to town for a family emergency, and Ivianna allowed us to extend our stay. The house was beautiful and spacious—just the oasis we needed to rest between family events. The beds were comfy, and the bathrooms were spacious. I loved the unique golf card experiences; we even saw a few gators. Ivianna was the best host, communicative, and replied to any issues quickly. I left a previous review since we extended the stay, but I would recommend it and stay again.

We had the best time experiencing the natural and urban cultures in the bayou! Henry’s place is amazing, clean, comfortable, spacious, tastefully decorated and fun! Crabbing, fishing, hot tubbing, cooking and relaxing in…and venturing into NOLA was so easy with so much to explore …and a day beach trip to Bay St. Louis was a nice surprise with gorgeous and clean white sandy beaches for miles and a cute seaside town. What a gem of a spot! A perfect blend of relaxation and exploration! The perfect family adventure!

Our group had a wonderful stay. Everything was perfect.The screened in porch made the porch so much more comfortable. Will plan another trip soon.

We had such a wonderful time at John and Karen’s place. They are wonderful people and great hosts. We had an amazing time with them as they took us around Madisonville, showing us a few great spots. Their place is so beautiful and relaxing. It’s magical. We came from California so staying here was an adventure, so different from what we are used to. We fell in love with Madisonville. Thank you John and Karen for being so attentive and welcoming. We can’t say enough and you guys and your beautiful property. Can’t wait to be back for a visit or maybe be neighbors. Until next time Love the Dupleasis family 6/5-6/8/25

This is the 2nd time we’ve rented this house and the only complaint I have is how hard it is to leave. Walking back into our own home after the most peaceful, perfect 3-day weekend felt like a letdown—because Sarah’s place is just that special. The house is beautifully maintained, surrounded by wildlife and nature, yet close enough to everything that you can get groceries delivered if needed. It’s the perfect balance of escape and convenience. We’re already looking forward to our next stay!

Beau was an amazing host and the property was beautiful and private. We told him what we were doing in town and had a care package tailored to our trip waiting for us!

This was a lovely place that absolutely fit our needs for this trip. It was well maintained and easy to find. The guest book was a great idea. It gave us ideas of local restaurants and places to visit in the area that other guests had enjoyed. We would stay here again.

We had a very pleasant stay on the bayou. The accommodations were very spacious and comfortable. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. I would stay here again.

Fantastic place to stay. Myself and a colleague stayed here for 3 nights. Couldn’t name an issue with the place. The host was very friendly and responsive. Will definitely be staying here again 👍

Enjoyed our stay! We were originally set to check in Monday however due to last min changes, we asked the host if we could check in Sunday instead. The host responded right away & was flexible with us doing so. They also replied back quickly when we reached out twice asking them questions during our stay. Place was overall comfy. Would stay here again!

Here's a positive Airbnb review for the host, Brian: --- I had a wonderful stay at Brian's property! Brian and his family are not only friendly but also incredibly helpful. When I encountered an issue with my vehicle, they didn't hesitate to assist me with a jump start. Moreover, Brian's diligence in maintaining the property, such as regular pest control and inspections, ensured a comfortable stay. The description of the property is spot-on—peaceful, yet conveniently close to various supermarkets and essential services. Additionally, Brian's responsiveness is commendable; he typically replied to any inquiries within an hour. I highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a reliable and hospitable accommodation experience.

I absolutely love this place. the host was amazing and he made sure that we felt welcome. he check on us to make sure we was okay and suggested a lot of nice places for us to go around the area. I will definitely book with him again. he made my first time going to New Orleans an amazing experience.

Madeline’s listing was accurate and very clean. I wasn’t expecting it to be at a campground on a lake, but I have no complaints about that. Overall, this is a nice, clean place with all the amenities you need at a very reasonable price.

Lydia is a beautiful soul! She was excellent with her communication and very responsive to our needs! Thank you Lydia!!!!

A super clean and relaxing Airbnb.

Absolutely stunning outdoor pool area landscaping; peaceful and private. Loved the hot tub! A big bonus for our fam was the secret back yard door leading to the Abita Roasting Co restaurant. The main floor of the house is fairly accessible, just a few small stairs, for older guests that was nice. Loved the interior vault and beams in the main room. Property manager was very responsive and kind.

Excellent location. Not far from the city but still peaceful, with the waterway canal right out front. A major swamp tour with hotel pickup was a block down but honestly it didn't seem to impact the serenity of the location. House was clean and had everything we needed for the stay.

Our stay at the Bayou Boeuf house was Amazing! The house was immaculate and extremely organized. Carolyn is an exceptional host! Her attention to detail throughout the house is incredible. She even thought ahead to bring in a baby bed for my grandson, which was greatly appreciated. The backyard is beautiful, and we enjoyed peaceful mornings on the back patio drinking our coffee. We had a delicious dinner at Trudy’s one night and walked to Zam’s for a swamp tour one afternoon all of which were recommended on her page. My family loved this beautiful house and felt right at home. This home definitely exceeded our expectations!

We had a great stay at Jayson's home. The house is very well stocked with everything you need. The layout of the house is very functional, and the deck was a great place to relax and socialize. It was so close to our planned activities. We were there for riding bikes on St. Tammany Trace and a jazz concert at the Dew Drop Jazz & Social Hall. Jayson's house is very close to the trail and is a 5–10-minute bike ride to Dew Drop.

Blume cottage is in excellent location. Old historic Mandeville is great. Accommodations were awesome. Wonderful weekend

3rd Memorial Day in a row. Really enjoy this getaway.

This place is beautiful. It looks even better in person than the photos. The entire property is so pretty and peaceful. The living area is really large and it worked perfectly for our large family event in the area. We had a nice big place to hang out after the event. We used the kitchen to feed up to ten people with no issues. A note for coffee drinkers - you don't need filters for the coffee maker, it has a reusable one. We did run out of paper towels, and there wasn't enough dishwasher soap for how often we used the kitchen, so we had to provide our own. There also wasn't access to any cleaning materials so when we had a spill on the carpet we had to get our own cleaning supplies for it. That's not the owner's responsibility, just wanted to point it out for those coming later. You're going to love your stay here!
