Peaceful retreat along the banks of the Atchafalaya River

This is a relaxing family getaway located off I-10 between Baton Rouge and Lafayette in heart of the Atchafalaya Basin. The house has an open floor plan with a beautiful view of the river. The main room opens out onto a spacious back porch, which is a great place to watch the sunrise while having your morning coffee.

There is plenty of space in the yard for adventurous kids to play and a place to build a fire near the bank of the river. The wooden walkway leads to the dock where you can fish or just watch the lazy river go by (no swimming).

The Atchafalaya Basin is known for its great fishing, and there are several public landings near by if you bring your own boat. For a little adventure, there are swamp tours available in Henderson and in the spring and fall, there are festivals scattered throughout Acadiana. One of my favorites is the Atchafalaya Basin Festival that takes place in Henderson. It’s small, but the music is top notch and locals do all the cooking.

The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans for cooking, and there is a big dining room table for family meals. Doucet’s grocery store is just down the road and carries basic necessities but you can find larger grocery stores in Breaux Bridge. Depending on the season, help yourself to fruit from the fig, satsuma, and kumquat trees.

Steve, the owner, lives in an apartment on the ground floor and is happy to help with any recommendations. There is not a washer and dryer upstairs, but you can make arrangements to use the washer and dryer in the downstairs apartment. Because of safety concerns, the cargo elevator is not available.

Loved our stay!

We are an outdoorsy family from Montana. We came to Louisiana to experience a different environment. We were interested in the wildlife, fishing, bayous, and good food. We had one of our best experiences at a VRBO ever- largely due to the kindness of our host Steve. He helped make our stay so memorable! We have stayed at a lot of VRBO’s over the years. In most cases, the photos of the house that you see online make the house look better than it really is. In this case, I think the opposite was true. This house is better than the photos! We were really happy with the space as soon as we walked in. The house was very clean, welcoming, and cozy. Great couches. Comfortable beds. Good AC. Well stocked kitchen. The river behind the house makes your stay so scenic. Lots of birds. We saw an alligator. Lots of catfish to catch. We went on a swamp tour in Lake Martin, toured historical sites, fished in a few lakes and rivers, had an awesome catfish dinner with our host. Overall it was a magical stay. We would definitely stay here again.
