Time for a visit?
St. Tammany, where is it and what is there to do? I could rattle on for a while giving you the details, but we (you) are fortunate to have a great video available to shed some highlights of this wonderful spot on the planet. So grab a glass of wine or cold ice tea, relax in your big chair and click on to the video below.
Warning: what you are about to see will have you checking your calendars to plan your escape. We will be happy to help, welcome you with a warm smile and a cozy room. St. Tammany Parish Louisiana

The Quirky side of life!
Like to smile, laugh and have a great time? Me too!!! It is great for your health and well being I am told. And if this is the truth, I am sure my dear friend John will live for a long time. John sees life in a different light than many of us, always seeing a use for something the rest would toss to the wayside, to him it is art and his art will bring a smile to your face.
John Preble is a very talented individual, musician, composer, artist and a collector of sorts. A trip to Abita Springs is not complete without a tour of The Abita Mystery House. Located in an old 40's(?) style gas station, but once inside you are taken in by the world of John Preble where you will view all his wacky collections including bottles, bottle caps, paint by number paintings and old arcade machines as well as several animated New Orleans style themed scenes. John calls this his "hobby out of control". Maybe, just glad it is... he provides us a place to laugh, reflect on old times and in some cases return to our childhood.
Just recently Abita Mystery House was showcased on the evening news - take a peak, http://www.fox8live.com/news/local/story/Heart-of-Louisiana-Abita-Mystery-House/8OUgbf8iik-DJp7b1CvAmQ.cspx Then plan your trip, you will never forget it!
While in Abita Springs have lunch at the Abita Brew Pub and take a walk through the Abita Creek Flatwoods Preserve where you will see a large display of carnivorous pitcher plants. http://www.nature.org/ourinitiatives/regions/northamerica/unitedstates/louisiana/placesweprotect/abita-creek-flatwoods-preserve.xml
Abita Springs is aprox. 20 minutes west of Woodridge B&B, where you can take either the Interstate 12 or make an adventure of it and take the scenic back roads. We will be happy to help you with your trip.
