2 Bedroom House in Houma

Get to know the quieter side of the south from this historic vacation rental in Houma, LA, where ‘Big Oak Cottage’ is both a remote-work vacation rental and a relaxing 2-bedroom, 2-bath retreat. Stroll along the shared pond, deck, and charming gazebo when you’re not cooking in the house’s well-equipped kitchen or streaming something on a cable Smart TV. There are two great local destinations for swamp tours and Falgout Canal Marina offers the perfect family boating day.
