I’m hesitant to say great things about this place because then the secret will be “out”. It’s a great location, great space and great host. We have been there twice and will be back soon!

My daughter and I visited Ruston for the Dixie World Series tournament and stayed at this beautiful property. It checked all of the boxes for a great experience-conveniently located, nice amenities, and a great property manager. Bradley was awesome with his communication and answered any questions that we had about our stay, before and during. Check-in was seamless. Kitchen and bathroom were extremely nice. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a stay in downtown Ruston! We will be back!

Immaculate property!
Modern loft-type feel. Well-decorated, had everything one could possibly need. The shower was to die for! Exceptionally clean, centrally located, and had locked gate access for extra protection.
I certainly recommend and would love to stay there again.
