Indulge in the hot tub and create culinary delights in the fully stocked kitchen. Book your getaway for a perfect blend of history, comfort, and riverside fun!

This extraordinary home showcases its historical roots as an original "Mayfield" kit house available from the Sears and Roebuck catalogue. From the 1930s, it retains original doors, crystal door knobs, and beautiful wood floors. Period and original tile work add a touch of authenticity to the overall experience.

The bedrooms offer a perfect blend of comfort and style. Large original windows fill the rooms with natural light, showcasing the surrounding beauty. Plush beds adorned with fresh bedding beckon for a restful night's sleep. Thoughtful amenities include plenty of plugs for your devices and ample luggage accommodations. With their cozy and stylish ambiance, the bedrooms evoke a historical charm that adds to the overall allure of the home.

Indulge in the bathrooms that seamlessly merge modern freshness with historical elements. One bathroom preserves the original tile work, reworked to suit the needs of modern guests while retaining its authentic charm. The master bathroom boasts luxurious features, including a free-standing bathtub and a separate shower, inviting you to unwind and rejuvenate in style. Soaps and shampoos are thoughtfully provided.

Our completely remodeled and reworked kitchen is the hub of the home that still maintains a touch of historical flavor. The kitchen boasts a modern layout and offers stunning views of the water, creating a captivating atmosphere. Another large original window allows natural light to flood the space, while unique historic lighting fixtures add to the ambiance.

This cottage-style kitchen is the central gathering place, ideal for creating memorable moments with your loved ones. With its spacious layout, it provides plenty of room for culinary adventures and socializing. The kitchen seamlessly flows into a sunroom, offering a seamless connection to the outdoors.

Equipped with modern stainless steel appliances, including a beautiful gas range and dishwasher, the kitchen ensures effortless meal preparation and cleanup. The open shelving adds a touch of charm and allows for easy access to essentials. The large island and bar provide additional countertop space and seating, perfect for casual meals and entertaining. Adorned with a beautiful backsplash and period-correct tile, the kitchen exudes a timeless appeal. Modern touches throughout add convenience and functionality. The original sink stands as a testament to the kitchen's historical roots.

For coffee enthusiasts, a coffee maker with K-Cup pods and drip coffee capabilities is provided to get your morning started. The kitchen is completely stocked, ready for you to cook a full meal. Whatever culinary masterpiece you wish to create, you'll find all the necessary tools and utensils within arm's reach.

Lounge in the hammock just off the deck, relax in front of the large TV for game nights, and savor outdoor living at its finest. Lush landscaping, an outdoor dining area, a swing, and fans for warm days create a captivating space that can be enjoyed throughout the seasons. The deck provides easy access to the river, granting you the opportunity to experience the magic of the water. Don't miss the spectacular fireworks from the comfort of your own private deck.

During your stay, you will have exclusive access to the entire house, including all the indoor and outdoor spaces. Feel free to make use of the laundry facilities to ensure a comfortable and convenient stay. The boat dock is also available for you to enjoy, offering easy access to the water.

Please note that while the large majority of areas are accessible, there are a couple of spaces that are off-limits for guests. The storage shed is not available for guest use, but rest assured, you'll have more than enough storage space within the house. Additionally, there is a locked storage closet and a designated cabinet in the kitchen reserved for the hosts' use.

Parking is a breeze with enough space to accommodate up to four cars. The gravel parking space on the left of the home is reserved for the neighboring house but the driveway on the right and the circle drive in front are for your exclusive use.

If any questions or problems arise during your stay we are always available via the app or phone call. We live in Natchitoches and any issues can and will be dealt with quickly and effectively.

Location! Location! Location! We are positioned perfectly in the historic downtown district of Natchitoches. Front St and Cane River are at your fingertips.

Walking is a breeze if you choose to take advantage of the shady sidewalks. Ample parking is also provided.

This property is a gem! The location is perfect for being walkable to all of the main attractions and dining. The gourmet kitchen was very well laid out and has everything you could possible need to entertain. Gorgeous outdoor area overlooking the river with a huge hot tub and fire pit table. We enjoyed the last December fireworks with a perfect view. We will definitely stay here the next time we are visiting Natchitoches!

Great location, beautiful views of river and fireworks during Christmas Festival!
3 generations of family enjoyed a 4 night stay, lovely home, beautiful views, enjoyed the Christmas Festival fireworks and music from the fireworks show from the back porch and had a spectacular view from the dock! It was great to be close enough to walk to the shops, restaurants, and activities on Front Street, but far enough away to have privacy and not be in the middle of the crowd. Host had a surprise gift basket delivered after check-in and stayed in contact to make sure all was well throughout our stay. We also separately booked and enjoyed an evening electric carriage ride around downtown and they were able to pick us up and drop us off right in front of the house because it’s so close! Highly recommend this rental due to the location and ability to relax and enjoy the views and all that Natchitoches has to offer!
