We're bounded by the Big Branch Wildlife Reserve to the south and a Rails to Trails bike path on the north. We are 3 miles from Lacombe to the east, 4 miles from Mandeville to the west, about 3 miles from Fountainbleu State Park, and an hour from New Orleans.

The glamping tent is fabulous... I just love lying in the bed and being able to look through the screen up into the sky....absolutely magical.  No sound machine for sleep needed here as there is a symphony of bayou creatures making beautiful sounds. You can walk around the property and see the farm in action...barn animals, chickens, bee hives, etc...  Incredible!  Compostable toilet was very clean and had zero bad smell.  \nA few things to remember to bring....a power pack to charge phones, some solar lights or a headlamp, bug spray, and water.  "

We will most definitely return. "

The only thing I would mention is a rooster crows pretty early in the morning and it can be hard to sleep in. My little one in particularly struggled with this early wake up call. But it was a beautiful piece of land and Cheri and her husband were so kind and accommodating to us. We were very grateful to enjoy their lovely land! "

At night you can see the stars, lightening bugs, and hear the hum of the frogs, crickets.  It feels very cozy, quiet and peaceful. \nThe two legged, four legged, feathered, buzzing bees and baaing sheep are a weclome site, sound and experience on the farm. \nCheris bread is to DIE for, along with the delicious farm eggs and soon to be more and more plentiful Blueberries. All natural and healthy straight from the farm!\nI'd highly recommend it for a local getaway or travel destination. \n"
