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.
What You’ll Love: - Cozy and artfully curated interiors - High-speed internet & smart TV - Stock tank pool — perfect for cooling off in the Louisiana heat (drained Oct–April) - Large fenced backyard with room to play or relax - Off-street parking for peace of mind - Pet-friendly with prior approval
The Space
Living Room: Warm and inviting with a comfy couch that easily converts into a sofa bed, a smart TV, and thoughtful touches that showcase Louisiana’s charm.
Kitchen: Fully stocked with everything you need — oven, stove, refrigerator, microwave — plus direct access to the backyard for easy poolside snacks or dining.
Bedroom: Spacious and bright with a queen-sized bed, soft linens, and plenty of natural light for slow mornings.
Bathroom: Full bath with a tub/shower combo — perfect for a refreshing rinse after a day exploring.
Laundry: Full washer and dryer right inside the home for your convenience.
Outdoor Space: A large fenced-in backyard with a stock tank pool for summer dips, plenty of space to stretch out, and shady spots to enjoy a drink or just relax.
