What makes this property unique
Offering Long or Short Term for casual living and for those who can endure the summer heat, yet your room is AC. The gallery spacious room is not AC but has high ceiling and fans which brings back the country vibes.
Walk a trail in the wood is around the lake and throughout the community is great. One must be ok, with the normal creatures of the woods.
Being in a sweaty summer season one can experience with an outdoor shower!
You are also near several unique towns with simple entertainments going on, like
NuNu Art & Culture Collective Gallery, in Arnaudville. I benefit having a great community of like minds to social and just hang out. We are FUN bunch. (google)
