Cypress is stunning in every way. The views from every window are gorgeous, the house is extremely well appointed and comfortable and every detail is accounted for. David and Marie are amazing hosts and we are grateful for the privilege of staying at this beautiful property. 5 stars and beyond!

The photos don’t even serve this property justice. It’s spacious and simply beautiful with every amenity you could need. Tons of outdoor balcony and patio space with several boardwalks and a peaceful bike/walking path right around the corner. It feels secluded but is close enough to Girod and Florida street to be right in town in a minute.
The owner, David, is very friendly and made several kind efforts to connect with us during our stay to make sure everything was to our liking. He also came by on garbage day and another time to leave some fresh picked fruit. We ran into him a couple times when we were out and about too, which was quite serendipitous. If you are looking for more of a bed and breakfast vibe, with contact with the owners who live right nearby, this is the place for that.

This place is nothing short of AMAZING! My hubby wanted to go somewhere for his 50th birthday, so we picked Cypress in Mandeville. Absolutely phenomenal property. The owners were wonderful and so helpful. I am already checking our calendar for a trip back. You will not be disappointed if you book this location.

The property was beautiful and very conveniently located to the Old Mandeville area and the Trace bike trail. It feel wonderfully secluded and beautifully designed to take in the surrounding nature.
Hosts surprised us with a special anniversary gift which was so appreciated.
Perfect for a family or couple group. Large enough for everyone to have their own space.
Would love to go back when the weather wasn't so Louisian hot, but since i am from the area i knew what to expect.
No alligator sightings but plenty of birds and bayou beauty.

Spent most of our time on the dock fishing and canoeing the bayou catching critters, will definitely be going back.

This was one of the nicest VRBO properties I have stayed in. Beautiful home and property on Bayou Castine in Mandeville. House was immaculate. It was more like a retreat. Peaceful and private with luxury accommodations. The owners were very attentive to our needs which were few as this house had all the modern amenities. Would recommend to anyone wanting to experience the beauty of Mandeville.

The pictures do no do this property justice. It is more amazing than I could have ever imagined. The home was exceptionally clean, and the owners add special touches to make this home comfortable.
We spent most of out time on the deck watching the wildlife and enjoying the views. The canoe and kayak were wonderful to take out and explore the water.
I love that the owners checked in to see ifbwe needed anything during our stay. They were so pleasant to talk to, and went out of their way to make our stay special.
I hope to return someday for an extended stay. Thank you for opening your home. Thisbwas a magical place to stay and I cannot even begin to express how truly beautiful this property is.

This has to be one of the best vacation rentals we've EVER stayed in, WOW!!! It's new, it's luxurious and it's located on an awesome swamp setting! Contacting Marie and David was easy and friendly, if any questions or anything was needed. They provided excellent check-in information about the property from the start. This property is top notch, we can't say enough! We safely saw alligators on our 1st morning from the many decks around the house! The property is set in a quiet, private location with lush vegetation of palm trees and Spanish moss, just beautiful!. Wonderful Louisianian style food was in easy reach in town! We could not ask for a more perfect getaway! Marie and David, thanks for sharing this property! We shall return and hopefully see more gators!!

Amazing house and property. Every detail was thought of - bikes, canoe, kayak, ping pong, corn hole, everything you need to cook a meal, gourmet kitchen (Whole Foods 5 minutes away) and more. Lots of windows and stunning cypress views wherever you turn. Many different places to hang out outside. Multiple decks with comfy outdoor furniture, and an awesome deck right by the water. Mandeville is the perfect sleepy southern town with incredible old mansions along the lake. Perfect to view while coasting on a bike along among the 400 year old live oak trees dripping with Spanish moss. The sounds of the swamp - crickets, cicadas, bull frogs- are almost deafening at night and the perfect lullaby to drift off to sleep to. Comfy beds, wonderful showers, unique original art everywhere. So wide open and spacious. Just book it. I can’t believe a place this nice is so affordable. Dave was a wonderful and thoughtful host. We didn’t want to leave. I will miss the sights and sounds of this incredible location.

This property is 5 star amenities and adventure all rolled into one. The dock on the bayou is superb for animal and bird watching. This property was gorgeous and so much fun! A stroll on the lakeside just a short bike-ride away was an added bonus! The host was very accommodating and responsive if ever needed. Thank you for sharing this magical location!

We had a lovely stay at Cypress. The house is gorgeously decorated, and the view of the bayou from the back deck is stunning. A truly beautiful property! The owners were very kind and easy to communicate with. Loved the access to the Tammany Trail right beside the house! 10/10

Beautiful house and beautiful surroundings. We enjoyed being on the bike trail, taking the canoe out and just sitting on the dock watching the gators and snakes. Patio and deck area were amazing! Communication with property manager was easy as well. It was a relaxing wonderful time! We will definitly rent again! So sad to leave!

My wife and I have been visiting the USA on a regular basis for almost 40 years, and I can say that this is one of the most impressive properties we have ever stayed in.
The house is located directly on the bayou, and is a modern, tastefully furnished and homely property, with 3 outdoor decks; it's own private jetty with seated area; and is just yards form the 30 mile long biking and hiking trail.
The grounds are private, substantial & quiet, with an abundance of bird and wildlife. Facilities provided include a rowing boat, bicycles, dart board and table tennis table.
The hosts, who live locally, could not have been more helpful and friendly, and provided a lot of useful information.
We would highly recommend this property, and we enjoyed our stay so much we have already inquired about a return visit next year.

5 star all around!

Top notch property and owners! There simply aren't enough superlatives to adequately describe either.
The huge windows and abundant outside seating areas will allow you to be immersed nature whether you're inside or out. The bayou is just out the back door and an extensive trail system in literally steps away. If you really want to experience the Bayou Castine and surrounding areas there are cruiser bikes, a kayak and a canoe along so many other amenities. And one of the best features in the extensive handbook that the owners have thoughtfully prepared. This is a comprehensive guide to the rental that answered ALL of my questions before I even arrived. The owners are amazing, you simply won't find anyone that puts this much energy, effort and love into running their rental! They're beyond thoughtful, kind, generous and genuinely care about you enjoying your visit without ever being intrusive. I hope to return again and again! And while the photos of the house are good... this place is even better in person :)

I've stayed at some very lovely properties over the years and this place is at the top of the list! You are literally in the bayou surrounded by a cypress grove. I miss it already!
5.0
Photos do not do this property justice. It is an amazing experience in the peace and quiet of Old Mandeville..right on the bayou with all the modern convince of a new home. Dave and Marie are consumate hosts..no aspect of hospitality was overlooked in the planning and stocking for guests. We've never stayed at a property so we'll provided for both the big accents and the little touches. I grew up in NO and it's truly convent to the city as well as all the great new places in the Covington/Mandeville area..Go with their recommendations..You won't go wrong. Can't recommend this property any higher and I"ve managed Hospitality operations for 40 years..Great hosts and a great stay.

Hands down, the most beautiful, peaceful place we have ever stayed! Saw 3 deer and the neighborhood alligator the first night-Sitting on the dock that looks over the bayou with cypress tress made me realize my home state is really gorgeous-the house itself was perfect-the bedding, towels, decor, furniture, stocked kitchen and elevator was a huge convenience -we played darts and watched a disappointing SEC game (and LSU’s loss was the only negative for us!) And we so appreciated the welcome bottle of wine & chocolates
Will DEFINITELY be back!!

This home is spectacular. It is immaculately clean. Looks brand new. Your every need has been anticipated. The gracious owners are extremely helpful without being intrusive. They live close by and are very attentive to your request. Kitchen and bathrooms are well supplied with everything you may need on your stay. Breathtaking views from every room. Several decks to enjoy the tranquility of nature. Downstairs you can enjoy walking on the boardwalk or to the pier to view the river with all its inhabitants. There’s even an entertainment area downstairs with a big screen TV and darts. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to take a photo next to the gorgeous swamp mural. Never a dull moment with all the amenities provided including a canoe, fishing poles and bikes to ride on the near by trace. The sound system through out the house is amazing. You can not only choose your music venue but also choose which rooms to play the music. We will be back time and time again. Perfect vacation home.

Absolutely gorgeous! The southern hospitality is great! The property is gorgeous and the wildlife we encountered was one we will not ever forget! This place is truly a dream, from the beautiful scenery to the gorgeous interior of the home! The fishing was great and alligators were so fun to watch. We enjoyed the canoe and bike riding as well. The owners made sure we had all we needed and more. All I can think about is when can we return AGAIN. CYPRESS you are a GEM.

Love this place.
I am from the area and we rented it for my business partner and I to meet for our annual company retreat. My wife joined us for the last night. The space was pretty perfect for us with two very nice, large master suites and plenty of other spaces to spread out in, and we pretty much hit them all at one point. The variety of the living spaces is kind of unique in rentals I've stayed in, and being able to easily access all of them was great. The bedding is wonderful. Elevator access makes a difference when loadng and unloading. We really loved the space under the house and enjoyed the SONOS music system everywhere. Bayou Castine is beautiful and a perfect backdrop for any gathering. Riding bikes and walking on the Tammany Trace just steps away was really a treat. The several nearby restaurant options in Mandeville were super convenient, casual and tasty. Dave and Marie are great hosts, very responsive, respectful and interested in their guests. We can't wait to return to spend some more time in all of Cypress's spaces! Thank you, Dave and Marie!

I can't even begin to describe the extraordinary experience my wife and I had at Cypress! David and Marie Rathe far exceeded my expectations from start to finish. My wife and I were celebrating our 1 year wedding anniversary and Cypress met every need, want and desire that I could ever ask for. They made our anniversary one to remember for a lifetime! They went above and beyond to make sure it was nothing short of a exceptional time! They're genuine hospitality, care and concern to make sure we had a magical anniversary was met to the highest regard! Pictures do not even do this property justice as it needs to be seen in person. We will absolutely be coming back multiple times in the upcoming future. It is the perfect stay-cation or if out of state, the perfect property to come and spend a week or more at! I hold so much respect and love for the both of y'all and can't thank y'all enough for everything you did. God Bless and look forward to building on our friendship and seeing the both of you soon!

No detail left undone!
What a wonderful weekend and the perfect way to celebrate our 30th anniversary!
We have stayed a lot of places and in a lot of vacation rentals. Never have we stayed at a place - hotels included - that beat Cypress!
I was constantly amazed at every detail! We were so comfortable the whole time and wanted for nothing. It didn’t even matter that we we visited during an unseasonal heat wave - because we had so many different options for enjoying the property. The new fan worked great and truly extended the time we were able to enjoy being outdoors.
We repeatedly commented how minimally and purposefully un-invasive the house is among the property/nature. We were tickled to see a raccoon and the gators. Enjoyed the birds and ducks. Enjoyed seeing the gar rolling on top of the water. The night sounds were unbelievable. It warmed my heart to see my husband relax and enjoy the slow, calm pace of fishing.
We enjoyed Nuvalari’s for our anniversary dinner and Rips for Sunday brunch - but we also enjoyed cooking a lazy Saturday morning breakfast in the beautiful, well-appointed kitchen. Truly, everything was just perfect. What a wonderful, magical place you have and what a blessing to us and others that you’re willing to share it!
