About the host
Hosted by Owner/Property Manager
Hi, what can we say about ourselves? We are folk artists and educators who think big. We are creating a sustainable cultural/educational compound, where all sorts of meaningful and fun events take place. During Covid, we are working hard to maintain safe, independent, socially isolated and private places for folks to get away and relax with peace of mind. We are committed to new cleaning and sanitizing protocols.

Why they chose this property
Our guests over the years have given us over 300 Five Star reviews on other vacation rental websites for their experiences in our unique accommodations. VRBO guests are beginning to find us, now that we are Premier Hosts.
It’s the basics - sleep, toilet and a shower, and a place to make food. WAIT! It's a LOT MORE than the basics. It's our VERY SPACIOUS funky palace dedicated to Folk Art.
We will let our guests help tell the rest of our story:
"This spot is the epitome of the Airbnb experience for me. If you are suspicious because the price seems too low for the size and amenities, don’t be, because it is even more fabulous live than it looks online. We stayed in two of the (currently) three lodging options. We loved both. With the cabin, you have very large bedrooms on either side of a common area, so if you are two couples, you may want to choose that one for more sleeping privacy. With the tower the bedrooms are smaller and adjacent but you have an absolutely massive common area. All spaces are filled with art, a lot of it local, and interesting objects to look at. The spaces are both playful, with unique light switches and hidden lighting options."
"Jim and Christy are absolute gems. As hosts, they do everything you can ask for and more - they provide you with the true South Louisiana experience. Regardless of where you're staying, you're in for a treat."
"Truly why we love airbnb. Locals who show their lives and make you a part of it. One of those never to forget travel experiences. Definitely go and get a deep dive Louisiana experience!"
"We like to think Airbnb was created for these kind of accommodations. The location is wonderful but the best part is the hosts. Jim and Christy are amazing people who provide their wary travelers with everything they could hope for. We can advise you this: Go! You will forever remember the experience!"

What makes this property unique
"What a amazing stay we had with Jim and Christy, who are as warm, charming, inviting and as full of rich character as the accommodations they graciously provided us! With well-collected antiques, funky, fun vintage treasures, colorful local art and decades-old reclaimed materials that they've brilliantly repurposed, Jim and Christy's place is full of heart and soul. Thank you, Jim and Christy, for warming our hearts and lightening our souls during our far too short a stay with you. As we said, your place is a destination all its own, and we hope to make it our destination again soon. - Gratefully, Amy and Mack"
