Smugglers Landing was perfect. We came to fish, crab and relax. Crab traps are provided and plenty of room on the dock to fish. The house was amazing. Very comfortable for a few friends to get together. Many amenities to enjoy.

Probably our best stay we have had. The owner definitely paid attention to detail and there was everything you could ask for in the house. He was also a great communicator and went above and beyond to make our stay great. We would love to come back and stay again and will be recommending this property to anyone wanting a NOLA vacation.

Mike is very kind and super responsive! The house is lovely, and we really enjoyed the sunrises and sunsets around the lake. It’s also a great spot for watching birds. We didn't quite have the time to try out kayaking this time, but we will definitely be back later!
