Do you have Christmas Wish to come home to Ponchatoula this holiday season?  We'd love to host you in our private apartments!  Located in Downtown Ponchatoula, the inspiration for Lifetime's A Christmas Wish movie, you can be right in the middle of all the holly & jolly! Currently, we have one opening through the Christmas holidays.  Also, not to be missed is next weekend's inaugural Sweet Treats on Main Street with the Christmas Parade following...you can even watch the parade from your suite as it passes right in front of our building!

May brings our first international guests!  I love how our little Roost has global appeal and we can welcome guests from all corners of the world! I also wanted to share a new visitor benefit I been working on over the past couple years, our butterfly garden next to the building. We are a registered Monarch Waystation (#15386) providing both host & nectar plants for Monarch butterflies.  I also have a number of different host plants that attract many different kinds of butterflies (and moths) of Louisiana. The definition of Roost is a place where birds or butterflies can sleep or rest (you can see how our name was derived!)  Definitely check it out when you visit us and to learn more about my personal efforts in helping pollinators and birds by visiting  Happinest Farmette . See you soon! Lisa

The holidays were happy and booked solid at LeRoost!  Though we started in late 2018, we were booked 55 nights and had over 15 guests from all over the US.  2019 brings our 1st international guests AND we have some very big news... We're opening the West-side apartment next to our current rental very soon!  This unit is a little larger and will continue to help fill our niche of hosting families in the New Orleans and Baton Rouge areas. This apartment still has a fun quirky aesthetic, but if I were to describe LeRoost West (our current rental) in the style of New Orleans' French Quarter, then the new LeRoost East will have a Garden District vibe.  We had fully anticipated this unit to be done by the holidays; however, much like the 1st rental...everything takes longer than you think!   Stay tuned for more details and check our current booking for our LeRoost West: View On Airbnb Le Roost: Private Upstairs Apartment Sleeps 6

Our friend Ella, the Chandler at the Louisiana Ren Fest As we are mid way through October, and now booked every weekend ( yahoo! ), I wanted to focus on November.  As it stands, we have two weekends available, the 10th and the 24th (which is the Saturday of Thanksgiving Week...also, available).  November begins one of my favorite events and honestly, I can't believe how close we are to it, to not take advantage of it...The Louisiana Renaissance Festival.  Every weekend though December will transport you to a simpler time.  Enjoy some ale and a turkey leg while you take in a show, buy handmade goods, and watch your kids play carnival style games.  Find out more at http://larf.org . Also, not to be missed...Small Business Saturday on November 24th.  No one does Shop Small better than Ponchatoula!  All merchants, including my shop, Nest Interiors , will participate in a rally day for independent business.  If you stay with us through Tha...
