Highly recommended. This house had everything we needed and more. We stayed during the winter storm and our hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful. The property was especially beautiful in the snow. Our dog had a fantastic time with acres to explore and on which to play. Book if you can!

Judith's place is absolutely perfect for long stays. We needed a temporary place to stay while looking for a home in the area, and Judith's place was clean, well stocked, comfortable, and situated on beautiful property. Judith was a very kind, flexible, and helpful host, which made our unique circumstances much easier to manage. When we arrived at her guest house after 4 days of driving, she had snacks and many other necessities already available (so we did not have to run to the store immediately). Additionally, she came over to greet us and help make us feel welcome. Her property is a wonderful place to unwind. The guest house is secluded with its own lawn area and view of the woods surrounding the property. We watched deer, birds, rabbits, and many other critters from the outdoor patio. Additionally, if you like to run in the morning or walk the dog, her home is right next to the Rock Island Greenway (which leads you to R.L. Cook Park). We would highly recommend Judith's place to folks visiting the Ruston area!

The guest house is amazing. It's very comfortable - the furniture, the beds, the space. Judith has gone above and beyond to create a welcoming home away from home. We really enjoyed the outdoor patio and patio furniture after a long drive. Lots of privacy in a lovely setting.

The Chautauqua House was the perfect place for our extended stay in the Ruston area. Perfectly situated off of I-20 it was the perfect jumping off point for seeing the area. Our dog loved the space to get out and walk and we appreciated not having to kennel her for three weeks. Judi was a fantastic host and we appreciated all the little touches that made our stay just a little nicer. These included a good supply of tasty breakfast treats!

Sherri' Review:
December 2016
We had a wonderful stay at the Chautauqua House. Although this is a relatively new venture for Judith and her husband, she truly considered every need of her guests. The house easily accommodated three adults and two young children. The kitchen is wonderfully equipped with tableware, cooking utensils and cookware of all types, linens and pantry basics. Judith has excellent taste. Bed and bath linens were luxurious. Judith is a warm and gracious host who personally reaches out to her guests. The property is lovely, and we were accorded our privacy. Although we did not bring our small dog on this trip, it is a plus for us to know Judith permits pets at this lovely property. I highly recommend Chautauqua House for anyone needing a lovely place to stay in the Ruston area. Thanks, Judith.

Guest access
The house is private with it's own entrance. You will be provided check-in information after you book. You will have your own patio and are free to walk the wooded field area behind the house. We are in a private neighborhood area so we ask that you respect our neighbors privacy as well. We do not allow parties but do allow small gatherings.

Other things to note
What is a Chautauqua?

The Chautauqua Society was founded in 1874 with a simple goal: to provide educational enrichment to all in a picturesque outdoor setting. One might say that it was a sort of intellectual and recreational summer camp for families. The Chautauqua movement quickly spread throughout the United States and resulted in 45 states establishing Circuit Chautauquas which offered lectures, music, readers and plays in rural and small-town America. In 1891, the Louisiana Educational Association founded the Louisiana Chautauqua at a 15-acre tract of land on the outskirts of Ruston.

Northern Louisiana and the site in Ruston was specifically selected for the state's Chautauqua because of its gently rolling hills, forest scenery, and peaceful setting. Thos. D. Boyd, President of the Louisiana Educational Association, noted in a circular letter in April 1891, that Northern Louisiana was "noted for its healthfulness and pleasing rural scenery." Since the Chautauqua programs were held during the summer, this region also offered an escape from the oppressive southern Louisiana heat. The Ruston site encompassed a number of mineral springs, offering visitors an opportunity to take in the healing waters, and further promoting the site as a place for retreat and renewal. A two-story hotel, named the Chautauqua Springs, was erected along with cottages and an outdoor auditorium that held 2,000 people. Later a railroad station was built near the property and visitors came in great numbers.

The popularity of the Louisiana Chautauqua quickly spread and people from outside the state attended its annual programs. Many participants were said to have loved the "tonic effect of the pure pine air" while they gathered under the many mature trees that covered the Chautauqua property. William Jennings Bryan, the most popular of all Chautauqua speakers, lectured at the Louisiana Chautauqua.
