We were so excited when we pulled up and this cottage is located on a historic plantation. Kids loved the upstairs where they had their own sides of the room and own televisions. The home was nice, clean and smelled very nice. Spacious kitchen, comfortable beds, clean linens, awesome property and it is so beautiful at night with the large oak trees light up. Make sure to bring marshmallows to feed the alligator that lives in the pond on-site. He is very calm and if you walk up on the deck, he will swim up to await his treats... not sure what the property owners call him but we named him Brutus. Don't worry I do not think he can climb out of the pond with ease.
