** Know Before You Book! *
To ensure the best experience, please review our detailed listing before booking to make sure our space is a good fit for you. We believe in kindness, respect, and community spirit, and we warmly welcome guests who share those values. We want our guests to be comfortable and all smiles:)
We ain’t the Ritz Carlton , and Franklinton isn’t Hollywood. But we’ve got you covered with good manners, laid-back comfort, and little touches that make a stay feel like home, and—most importantly—not at your in-laws' house!
The backyard gives off tranquil vibes, it’s its own little peaceful hide-a-away—complete with a bubbling hot tub, fire pit, chirping birds, kids play area, and a BBQ grill ready for good food and chill laxin'.
Keep in mind, this is a country town and you may run into a few insects while outside! Despite our efforts to keep them away, the occasional ambitious mosquito or overly curious wasp might still drop by. Consider them part of the local charm. Bug spray recommended, swatting skills optional. Think of them as nature’s way of saying, “Hey Ya'll!! Welcome to our country town!”
Oh, and all the amenities are included—no surprise fees for breathing the air or using the Wi-Fi.

(Please don’t mess with the alarm system sensors and/or cameras (unless you're into surprise sirens and awkward conversations). It’s just doing its job—keeping things safe for everyone!)
FYI – We’re not living on the set of First 48! The cameras are there just making sure the ghosts don’t throw a house party when no one is around. And those black solar screens on the windows? They’re not for security concerns— just there to keep the sun rays out and our energy bill chill. Just keeping things cool!
** There are absolutely NO cameras or recording devices INSIDE of the house.
NEIGHBORHOOD VIBES: You’ll catch glimpses of retro soul woven through classic '50s, '60s, and '70s charm, with a few modern updates sprinkled in here and there. Sure, it could use a bit of TLC in some spots—but hey, charm isn’t always polished. You’ll see traffic cruise by, neighbors walking, and kids zipping around on bikes. Things usually wind down when the streetlight pops on, and the whole neighborhood settles into a laid-back, mellow rhythm.
SERVICE ANIMAL: Service animals are always allowed; however, we follow the laws set forth by the State of Louisiana, ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), and Fair Housing Act.
A service animal is an animal who is trained to do work or tasks for someone with a disability, whether physical or mental.
Book us and enjoy the welcoming spirit of the Fair City! That’s the Spirit of Louisiana!
