Nice and quiet

Had a nice stay to visit family. More family decided to stay last minute and host was appreciative of the notice. Communication was good. It is a quiet place to stay- we loved birding on the bridge in the morning. Appliances worked well and everything was clean. Would stay there again!

Great weekend getaway

Lovely quiet wooded house with so much charm and character. Great to getaway from Baton Rouge or surrounding area. You feel like your in arknsas. We had fires in the indoor and outdoor fireplaces. Close to hiking at tunica hills. Very quiet remote location.

Nice and clean

All the mapping apps except for Apple Maps took us to a different location 30 minutes away. So we drove to the wrong location and had to figure out where the actual location was. It would be helpful to put detailed directions in the listing so this doesn’t happen to other renters. Once we got to the place it was super nice and clean. We enjoyed our stay.

Enchanting

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Melody, and we recommend it to others! My favorite aspect of the property was the covered porch. I could have stayed there forever. All that said, the property is a bit distressed. I texted the host multiple times and only heard back twice, which was very disappointing. Lastly, if you are arriving at night it is extremely challenging finding The Melody because the sign is not lit up nor is the entrance. If you are relying on GPS, it has you driving past it and trust me . . . in pitch dark . . . The Melody is not visible!!!!!!!! Once we knew where it was located, driving back at night after dinner was still tricky but doable (often having to turn around and try again). There are solutions available if the host wants to improve the experience.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

This cabin stay was exactly what we needed. The cabin itself is absolutely beautiful and very relaxing. We loved sitting outside and just taking in nature. There was also plenty to do in St. Francisville during the day. We had a wonderful time and we will be back!
