Exactly as described, quiet and clean

Truly is a jewel in marksville. Very close to everything, very clean, and in a quiet part of town. Games to play for the kids, and tvs in the rooms for the parents. Patricia was incredibly helpful with things to do in town, and answered all questions very quickly. We even left something valuable behind in the dresser, and were able to return after check out and retrieve with no incidents at all. 100% will pick here again

OUTSTANDING!!!!

We were in town for the Southern Style Car Show. We walked into this BEAUTIFUL cottage & couldn't believe our eyes. It was beautifully decorated & had everything you could possibly need for your stay. I wish we could have stayed longer to fully enjoy all it's amenities. The back porch was so inviting & it also had a fire pit that we didn't get to use because we were to tried. To say this home was a wonderful place is a understatement. You have to see it to believe it. The host Patricia was AMAZING!! She truly cares for her guest. Always in communication with you & if you need her she responds within minutes. I cannot say enough good things to let you know how wonderful this home truly is.
