The massive Lake Pontchartrain rests in southern Louisiana- the historic town of New Orleans borders the lake's southern shores. Though New Orleans is a tourist friendly city filled with jazz music, Creole cooking and a lively art culture, most resorts in and near the town don't focus solely on the lake. However, a selection of New Orleans resorts lie within a 20-minute drive to all the attractions on the lake's shores.
Quarter House Resort
Located in New Orleans' famous French Quarter, the Quarter House Resort is just over seven miles from the shores of Lake Pontchartrain and attractions such as Lake Oaks Park. According to the resort's official website, the Quarter House offers vacation ownership--or timesharing--options, allowing vacationers to own property without the need to maintain it, giving them the option to save money by swapping with other seasonal guests. Conversely, guests may choose one-to-five night stays. This five-star resort boasts such amenities as full furnishings, complete kitchens, walk-in showers, televisions, DVD players and Jacuzzi tubs. Guests enjoy an onsite swimming pool, a courtyard, maid and concierge services, phone service and laundry facilities. The resort serves complimentary continental breakfast on weekends, in addition to a free wine and cheese party on Wednesday evenings. If vacationers tire of the lake, the shores of the Mississippi are within walking distance of the resort.
