Bonnabel Haus w/ Stocktank Pool ft. on DIY Network
Cozy cottage featured on Louisiana Flip N Move on DIY Network. This house was moved via truck and barge across lake Pontchartrain from Bonnabel Blvd all the way to it's new home in Robert, LA.
The Bonnabel Haus is a very simple space which tried to pay homage to time when things were a little simpler as well. There are features throughout the house that were hand picked over years to try to constantly improve the feel of the interior. One of my favorite pieces is the foyer light which was bought at an estate sale in St. Francisville. It came from a old service station in Zachary that was torn down. I bought this light and completely refitted it to serve as my new Foyer light.
It bodes high speed internet, off street parking, a large fenced backyard and best of all a little stock tank pool to take a dip in and cool off on hot Louisiana summer days. (stock tank pool available from May to September and drained from October to April).
The Bonnabel Haus is only 10 min from downtown Hammond, 15 min to Covington and Madisonville, and 50 min to the New Orleans Airport.
The pet fee is a $75/pet fee.

Cute little house that perfectly fit what I needed
Cute comfortable little house. In town for work and stayed for a couple of weeks. Virginia was awseome to communicate with. The only two things I didnt realize is there are no local channels available on the tv and extremally limited space for "canned goods dry storage" if you are going to be staying semi long term and going to be shopping at the grocery and cooking in house

LA trip
house was clean and easy to access; listing was not clear about pet policy; there was a $50 pet fee with "up to 3 pets any size"; I was contacted by the host that it was a per pet fee and it was $60 which was not what the listing said at the time booking; she did honor the $50 fee but charged me a per fee which added an additional $100 (on top of the original $50 I had already paid); She altered her listing to be more clear in the future; I booked this last minute to visit a family member who had surgery so it was not refundable. I would have made different choices if her listing were more clear. I specifically chose her listing because of the dogs; for others who are traveling with dogs: The backyard holds water with rain and was not usable with the dogs secondary to mud; fence did have a board that was broken and dogs could have escaped if used; back screen door is in disrepair and no light was present in back yard making it difficult to take the dogs out at night on leash; disappointed with the host's inflexibility with her unclear pet fee/policy and house could use some maintenance outside

Located in a very quiet neighborhood about 50 minutes from New Orleans. Really nice big backyard...but ask to make sure it is secure as gate was broken when we got there

Better than expected!
This place was so amazing! We enjoyed 3 nights at this location and loved every second. We would go out to explore NOLA and come back to what felt like home. The interior of the house was beautiful to look at and the backyard was comfortable to sit in and enjoy the view of the sky. Even though there are neighbors around the home, it was separated enough to feel a little more private! The neighborhood itself was secluded and quiet. It was exactly what I wanted for me and my girlfriend for a spontaneous trip! Thank you to the host for checking in but giving us our privacy as well. We will definitely be back 😆
