what to put in a request, and what comes back
Request a stay quote 24/7 for one week, three weeks or a season
Thirteen places, each priced at seven nights, twenty one nights and fifty six nights, with a real figure in all thirty nine cells, from $2,065 to $12,421. Name a place and a length in the form below and the figures come back with the operating company's own terms attached. A request is a question about price and dates, and it stays a question until you accept one.

You can request a stay quote 24/7 through the form at the foot of this page, and the reply lands within one business day. What comes back is a figure for the place you name, the run of nights an operating company will hold against it, and a list of what that figure covers once you are standing there. Everything below is about what to put in the box so the first reply is already useful, because a loose request buys a loose answer and then a second exchange to repair it.
The number of nights comes before everything else
Ask for a figure without saying how long, and the honest answer is thirty nine figures wide. Say seven nights, twenty one or fifty six and it narrows to a row, or to one cell of that row. This office would rather send a row than a cell, so if the length is unsettled, ask for all three and read them beside each other. Each column of all thirteen places at all three lengths is labeled with its nights, so a figure by the night is one division away. the three lengths set out side by side sets out what each length asks of a traveler.
The sentence that helps most is often the admission that you do not know how long you want. That is the real question, and three figures sitting in one message settle it faster than any amount of writing about them.
Every field, and what it decides
Two things are strictly needed, a place and somewhere to send the answer. The rest narrows what comes back, in the order that moves the figure most.
- Which place
- One of the thirteen, or two if you are holding a pair against each other, in which case both come back quoted.
- How long
- Seven nights, twenty one, fifty six, or all three at once when the length is the open question.
- Which month
- A month is enough, and a window of two or three works as well. Exact days get settled with the operator afterward.
- Who is coming
- Adults, and children with ages. Some places price by the room and some by the person.
- How firm the dates are
- Say whether something at home fixes them. Dates that can shift by a week or two reach months that locked dates cannot.
- What the place has to have
- Step free access, a kitchen you can genuinely cook in, a car or no car, room for a large dog. Say it now rather than in week six.
- Where to send the answer
- An email address, and a telephone number only if you want the option of a call.
- Anything you would say out loud
- Two lines on why this place and why now. A person reads them, and they change what the reply puts in front of you.
What a request turns into
Sending it starts a short sequence, and how a request becomes a held let walks through the whole of it. The request is read here, this office writes to the company that operates the stay, and the answer reaches you within one business day with the nights that company will hold and the figure it will charge. Where a month has already gone, the reply names the months still open instead of leaving you to guess. Where a place will not take the length you asked for, that stands in the first line of the answer rather than the last.
A request commits you to nothing whatever. Nothing is held in your name until you ask for it to be, no money changes hands at this end, and reading a figure and deciding against it is an ordinary outcome that nobody here will pursue you about. A reservation begins only when the operating company's own terms are in front of you and you agree to them in writing. That company invoices you and is paid a commission here once the weeks are over, which is why the figure quoted to you is the operator's own. the cancellation terms in full covers what applies from there if the dates have to move.
The request form takes booking requests 24 hours a day, all year. What arrives is a form and never a telephone line, and a person works through it, replying within one business day.
What no figure on this site covers
A quote covers the stay itself and stops at its edges. Getting yourself there and home again is arranged by you, and it appears in no cell of the grid. Where reaching a place depends on a scheduled crossing, that crossing belongs to the company running it, under that company's own license. Documents for crossing a border are settled between the traveler and the government that issues them. This office gives no guidance on that, and a request asking for some comes back saying so.
When something needs correcting
Requests get amended all the time and it costs nothing. If the month was wrong, the party has changed, or you want a length added to something already sent, bookings@slowlatitudes.com takes it and lands in the same thread as the original. If what looks wrong is on this site instead, a figure that reads oddly or a page that disagrees with another one, corrections@slowlatitudes.com is the address for it, and what arrives there gets checked against the operating company first. +1 (225) 766-2418 takes incoming calls for the questions that are quicker said than typed, and whatever gets settled by voice is repeated in writing afterward. what people write in to ask holds what people ask most.
Write while you are still weighing it up rather than once you have decided. Most of what arrives at this office in Baton Rouge comes from people holding one place against another, or a week against a season, and the figures usually end the argument. all thirteen places at all three lengths carries all thirty nine if you would rather look first.
