Wonderful Stay at Cypress

We had a wonderful time at Cypress on bayou Castine. The house is beautifully furnished and equipped with everything you could need with excellent instructions for use. It was exceptionally clean and very well maintained. The views of the bayou and surrounding area made the trip very relaxing. We would recommend this property to anyone.

A quiet jewel

This is a beautiful house on a beautiful little bayou. It's not a place for big parties or going out to nightclubs. It's a place for sitting on the dock or taking a kayak out into the lovely serene bayou to see birds and deer. It's for late dinner with good friends and conversation sitting down at the dock. I hope to be back.

Perfect Location for a Tranquil & Relaxing Holiday

This property is modern, well equipped & decorated to the highest standard.It is located on the Bayou within easy reach of Old Mandeville. It has direct access to the Bayou itself (with it's own dock, canoe & kayak), and is only yards from the 'Trace' with over 30 miles of paved cycle / walking paths (the property has 2 bikes).The property is in a most tranquil setting, made for relaxing ..... whether that be watching the wildlife (alligators & birds are abundant): walking into the old town (lovely shops & restaurants, and the lakefront): having a day on the bayou: biking the trace: or simply sitting in the sun on one of the properties 2 balconies overlooking the bayou..The owners of the property live nearby and are friendly & helpful, yet unobtrusive.We spent 17 nights at the property (our 3rd visit), and on this occasion the car never left the drive - except for a number of evening trips to the nearby towns of Covington & Slidell to sample some fabulous Blues music.I have no hesitation in recommending this property, and indeed look forward to returning again next year.

Magical bayou experience

Cypress was beyond our expectations. We absolutely loved everything about the property. We utilized the canoe on two different morning and paddled down the bayou. We rode bikes to down the Tammany Trace to Fontainebleau State Park and enjoyed the beach for an afternoon. We watched tv below deck and just relaxed as a family. And coffee on the balcony was a favorite each morning. Cypress was perfect in every way and we will return. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.
