    Really enjoyed our stay. The Meadow Cabin is very cute and cozy. Also very clean. Loved the surroundings. Very private. We walked the trails on the property and never saw another person. Beautiful piece of property. Only complaint was an uncomfortable mattress in the bedroom. Hard mattress on a hard wood slab. Look forward to another visit!

    We stayed in the Treehouse for two nights for our honeymoon. It was perfect! We arrived in the evening after our wedding, and the Treehouse was already warmed up for us. This is a great spot, with beautiful land, a clean and private cabin with a wood-burning fireplace, and a well-stocked fridge. Two little dogs followed us on our hike, but we never saw another person. Little River Bluffs has a perfect location; short drives took us to Folsom to the Global Wildlife Center, to Covington for a fancy dinner, and to Abita Springs for the brew pub. All in all, it was a perfect honeymoon retreat!

    Innkeeper Response

    Our weekend at Little River Bluffs couldn't have been better. We stayed in the Treehouse, which I would highly recommend for a couple wanting a nice, quiet romantic time away from it all. The Treehouse was adequately stocked with all the necessities, and we had a wonderful time. The grounds are very neat and beautiful with lots of little trails to wonder around on. We will definitely stay at Little River Bluffs again. --Jeff Taylor New Orleans

    The Fall at Little River Bluffs is spectacular. Colors and leaves everywhere. The trails are great and sipping your favorite beverage on the deck is so relaxing. So good to be in the middle of nature and still so close to the city.
