Gut: Sauberkeit
Good base in the bayous for a Louisiana experience!
When we arrived this house (or "camp" as they say) was clean, well-stocked, has a quality about it, and has an awesome view of a slow-moving river. It took a very still night with calm water for a flashlight to penetrate the water enough to see a single alligator swimming. There are mosquitoes around, but don't spoil an evening on the Adirondack chairs looking out over the river.
The camp is well built but does vibrate when the wind comes up, might be disconcerting to some, and I guess is a feature of being built up on wood pilings. Take "coastal flood warnings" as relevant - we had one and there was minor flooding of the boat dock and water across the road - not enough to prevent us driving anywhere though.
We used this camp as a base to see some of the surrounding Northshore, and drive into New Orleans over the endless Lake Pontchartrain causeway (about 24 miles long). GPS navigation for visitors should be considered essential when driving anywhere in the state.
On a fussy note, we would like to have seen proximity lights come on in the parking area under the camp for when we arrived back at night. There is a range of cooking pans, but all have Teflon coatings well known to be toxic, so we had to buy a few ceramic pans at Walmart. And I would like to have seen more EV chargers - both in the rental properties available and in the state in general.
This camp is a great base for a New Orleans and Louisiana experience!
