Wonderfully decorated, looks just like photos. Bed mattress was amazing. Kitchen, pantry bed linens and towels were all first class. Can’t beat the location to lakefront.

Bed so cozy…..beautiful windows with old wavy glass. Right on a Main Street. Antique shops and restaurants walking distance. Can see the lake from the front yard a block away.
I have stayed with these awesome people many times and will do so many more times.
Lovely huge front porch under the oak trees with porch swings and sofas…..
I’m an introvert……..peace and quiet in my room….if I feel social I just step outside and take a walk to the lake and watch the sun set from a bench under the oak trees.
Can you tell I feel like home here?❤️

Enjoyable time
Though we only stayed for one night, we enjoyed our time. The property had everything we needed. The instructions for parking and entry were very clear. I recommend stopping at La Lou across the street for brunch. Our food and service was great

The house in Girod was exactly what I was hoping it would be. Our family stayed in the Rosalie suite and it showed even better in person! I couldn’t believe how spacious it was and the owners took great care to maximize every inch of living space. There were so many drawers and storage areas for clothing etc…, the beds and bedding were very comfortable and the space was incredibly clean and inviting. And again, the suite is surprisingly spacious. The owners had coffee pods and creamers at the ready which was very helpful. This particular part of Mandeville is quaint and walkable to all restaurants and the waterfront. We ate delicious food, rode bikes( bicycle rental is steps away) and enjoyed having little to do for the long Easter weekend. We highly recommend the House on Girod to anyone visiting Mandeville!

Beautifully updated old home
This house is a beautiful old house a few blocks from the lake shore. Nicely updated and beautiful decor. The Leighton Suite is the whole front of the house - living room, dining room, newly remodeled kitchen, large bedroom with king bed, bathroom and closet. Close to nice shops and restaurants. Easy access with front door lock code pad.

Perfect cozy spot!
Wow! This was the perfect location for weekend shopping in Historic Mandeville. This upstairs unit accommodated my family of four perfectly. Everything we needed was there & it was walking distance to some great restaurants. Looked newly remodeled with all latest amenities. Shower was top notch and my daughter enjoyed the Keurig. Beds were comfortable. Ceilings are a little low in certain areas (as pictured) but that didn’t bother us. We would highly recommend!

The accommodations were great; however, I thought we would have a wonderful breakfast the next morning. There are other great b & b establishments in Mandeville that have outstanding breakfasts. We’re going to stick with them next trip.

Nous avons passé un séjour incroyable. Le logement était décoré avec beaucoup de goût, tous les détails étaient là pour un confort optimal pour toute la famille.
Le logement est en plus dans un quartier très calme qui permet de se reposer, à 2 min du lac.
Et pour couronner le tout, le restaurant Lalou juste en face propose d’excellents petits déjeuners.
Tout était vraiment parfait.
