These are some of my favorite before and after shots of The Villas. They were once abandoned, and we haven’t been able to determine why.
But 5 years ago, I bought them with a dream of turning them into a little, boutique short term stay property just on the edge of the historic downtown in Minden, Louisiana.
Now it’s full of people, cars, laughter, and life—and I still can’t believe my team and I brought historic property back to life!
Sometimes it hits me that what was once forgotten is now a destination! It’s wild what a little vision, a lot of grit, and a whole lot of determination can do! 💥
If you’ve ever wanted to stay somewhere that’s full of charm, history, and heart—I’d love to host you at The Villas at Spanish Court in Minden, Louisiana. This place means the world to me, and I can’t wait to share it with you.
