102 MAIN ST., Columbia, LA 71418

Step back over 100 years and spend the night in a building rich in history, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Experience a gorgeous waterfront view from two balconies and three bedrooms that all overlook the Ouachita River. Located on historic Main Street in downtown Columbia, there are two businesses here: The Watermark Saloon and The Watermark Inn.

On the first floor, the saloon is open Tuesday-Saturday. The second floor has the Inn and is a very active Airbnb with excellent reviews. The Watermark Inn is filled with antique furniture, real hardwood floors, and doors. There is also a kitchen, a washer, and a dryer.

Below the Inn is the famous Watermark Saloon, the oldest saloon on the Ouachita River. The building, built in 1918 by Mike and JoAnna Ticheli, was restored in 1994 as part of the Columbia Main Street project. Extensive renovations followed in 2023. Each bedroom has a window overlooking the river.

There is also a kitchen, a washer, and a dryer. A short walk down Main Street, you can enjoy shopping and eating at El Patio, an excellent Mexican restaurant. Adjacent to the Watermark Inn is the Schepis Museum, featuring art exhibits and permanent historical displays. There is a floating pier where you can dock your boat at the river, and a public boat ramp is just up the road. Call today for more information. Owner/Agent
