Abita Historic House
Jazz Fest on the horizon. Our newly-renovated cottage is just 43 miles from downtown New Orleans. So you can Big Easy by day. Sleep Easy at night. Abita Springs/Mandeville has been rated as the safest town in the state. OR enjoy a relaxing city escape within walking distance of the nationally-known St. Tammany Trace hiking and bicycle trail. Abita Cafe and Abita Brew Pub are just steps away. All nestled in the majestic pines of the North Shore. As one guest told us “it’s like a Hallmark movie here.”

Beautifully restored
Very quaint house. I especially liked the comfortable mattress and bedding! I also liked the fact that we were in the middle of town and could walk to the grocery store and bakery!

Abita Springs Getaway
Our visit to lovely Abita Springs was great. Melanie and Cecil’s historic shotgun house was adorable and suited us perfectly. I had a few questions during our stay and Melanie and Cecil responded quickly and were very helpful. I would definitely return to their listing and recommend it highly.
