Grandma house - a good thing!

Our stay reminded both of us visiting our Grandmother houses growing up and that is a great memory to experience again. Loved the charm of the house & wood floors and screened in porch. We now have this house tagged as our go to when visiting our daughter and son in law.

About the host

Hosted by Merry

I'm a native New Orleanian who bought the cottage in 2004, the year before Hurricane Katrina. The cottage was a dump! but bravely sustained little damage during that major storm, and I've renovated and added to it over the course of the years.

Why they chose this property

This is a historic nineteenth century cottage with its original heart of pine floors and barge board walls; there are no studs so outlets and switches are positioned on door frames, window frames, or baseboards. The character of the cottage shows in its deep window frames and original wavy glass windows. In restoring the cottage, I chose to maintain as much of the original charm as possible while updating for twenty-first century living. There is an original artesian well that still flows but the house has its own more modern well with a water treatment system which services the house.

What makes this property unique

To be able to retreat to a beautifully wooded and landscaped property with something blooming almost all the time is one of the unique charms of this special place.
