My mother and I came here for a bonding trip. Our room was so cute! This was perfect for 2 to stay. Love the pool area in the common area we enjoyed relaxing and listing to the fountain in the pool. Property manager is amazing! She wanted to make sure any small details were taking care of. If you wanted to book a romantic trip for two this would definitely be a place to stay!
Our stay at CanDi on the Cane was wonderful. As soon as we walked in I loved it. It smelled great and the host had Christmas music softly playing on the Alexa. A great touch. The room and deck area were both comfortable and relaxing. A short drive to the downtown area. Our host was very helpful with any questions we had and recommended a nice brunch spot for Saturday. I would absolutely stay here again if I get the chance to visit the area again. I highly recommend Candi’s place!
Such a great place to stay! The guesthouse is so cute and set up beautifully. The bed was very comfy. Cherie is the sweetest hostess and so accommodating. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time here and the pool was the best!
The property was beautiful and very peaceful. Looks just like the pictures. I will definitely stay again and recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Natchitoches.
Absolutely beautiful property that this bungalow sits on. Owners were great and gave us privacy and also let us use the pool. The town pf Natchitouches is a hidden gem with wonderful people.
Close to downtown area, great parking (we had trailer for car show). Clean, a/c worked great, owner was accommodating. Only negative, door knob was loose and door not locking at times.
This was a great get-away from our usual city life. The house was beautiful and clean and the view was great! The host was very nice and also respected our privacy!
We stayed here as the last leg on our week long anniversary trip. We were very pleased. It was the perfect ending destination for our trip. Very clean, peaceful, and the room had everything we could have needed.
This one bedroom was a cozy, cute, and very clean place to stay. We enjoyed going walk by the river. Was not very far from downtown so we were able to get around fairly easy. We throughly enjoyed our stay here! Only con so can list is shower head stream was weak, which was minor.
From the moment of contact with the owner, until the final checkout, this was a very pleasant experience. The room was set up for us, and was perfect. Location was right down the road for what we had scheduled. We will recommend to our friends.
Room was clean but very sparse with kitchen supplies. One plate, one fork, two knives.
Pool area was not clean to VRBO standard. Cigarette ashes and butts in ash trays, dirty drinking cups, furniture not very clean and inviting. Used pool towels sitting around.
Couldn’t use the screen room pictured. It was attached to owners house and full of storage boxes, fUll ash trays, empty drink cans.
Not inviting!
Room was exactly like it was advertised. We made the most of it
Tried sending a picture, but won’t allow.
This was a layover on our way home. We wish we could have stayed more than one night because we weren't able to fully enjoy all the amenities of the property. The room was relaxing and comfortable, and the house is a short distance from beautiful downtown. We'll definitely book again the next time we're in the area!

About the host
Hosted by CheriE
Welcome to CanDi on the Cane Guesthouse & Shack. I am a global traveler and have worked in the hospitality business for decades. I love to travel, and I love to create an environment for travelers that is memorable. Featuring our property on AirBnb is a first step to formalizing a dream of running a formal Bed & Breakfast.
I have a very modern family, celebrating 10 years of marriage. A very social 7 year old boy who has a 10 yr old shitzu as a fur-brother, who has a 3 yr old shitzu as a girlfriend. They each enjoy entertaining and showing their hospitable side.
We hope you will choose our tranquil setting, nestled in one of America’s Top 10 ‘Best Historic Small Towns’ (featured in USA TODAY) as your landing place. We hope you love it so much, we become your destination spot.
Why they chose this property
My passion is in the hospitality business. I thrive on seeing my guests having a good time and knowing that I am a part of the reason they are enjoying themselves. This property was not only developed as our retirement home, but a home where we can entertain and provide our guests with the utmost of escapes.
