Bonnabel Haus w/ Stocktank Pool ft. on DIY Network

Welcome to the Bonnabel Haus — A Joyful Southern Escape

This 1-bedroom, 1-bath cottage is more than just a place to stay — it's a little piece of Louisiana history. Featured on Louisiana Flip N Move, the home was relocated by truck and barge across Lake Pontchartrain and now rests peacefully in Robert, LA.

The Bonnabel Haus is a joyful space that pays homage to simpler times, with handpicked features that enhance its charm. One favorite detail? The foyer light — lovingly restored after being salvaged from an old service station in Zachary, LA, by way of an estate sale in St. Francisville.

- High-speed internet & smart TV

Weather notice:
Louisiana weather can be unpredictable, and while we do our best to prepare for anything, we cannot be held responsible for delays, power outages, storms, or other unforeseen events outside our control. Refunds will not be issued for weather-related events, utility interruptions, or other circumstances beyond our influence. We recommend purchasing travel insurance for added peace of mind.

If it’s been raining, the backyard tends to stay a little wet so the fire pit may not be useable and your pups may get muddy if left unattended outside.
