This is a beautiful home in a picturesque setting. We ended up spending a lot of our time relaxing on the back porch just enjoying the view and bird watching. The interior is great, well decorated and very comfortable to cook, eat snd relax. Our first thought upon entry was the house was even prettier than the pictures

Perfect getaway
This house was the perfect Louisiana getaway. Being able to sit on the porch along the river, watch the birds, relax and catch up with good friends was wonderful. It was also a great location to head out and explore places like Lake Martin, Lake Fausse Point, Lafayette, Baton Rouge, etc

Wedding Weekend
The Atchafalaya River House is a stunning home and was perfect for those of us traveling from out of town and out of state to attend a local wedding. The outdoor kitchen area was a great place cook a big pot of gumbo and the front porch was the perfect spot for morning coffee with everyone. The house was fully stocked with everything needed to make you feel right at home.

Picture Perfect
We really enjoyed our time in the River House. It was absolutely beautiful inside and outside. Fully stocked with anything we needed. The owners were very kind and checked in with us throughout our stay. With family in the Lafayette area, this will be our first choice for lodging on all future trips. The house was absolutely incredible. The property was very well maintained. Lawn perfectly manicured. It was wonderful watching the wildlife.

Peaceful and Beautiful
This is a beautiful and comfortable home. We enjoyed all the inside and outdoor areas including the outdoor kitchen. We spent time watching birds and wildlife in the river and bar pit. The bird feeders kept us entertained. The owner checked with us frequently to be sure we were comfortable. The check in and check out process were a cinch. I enjoyed the books on local history and provided information about the area. Would love to stay again!

Beautiful!!
The home was above and beyond what I expected. The house is beautiful and nicely appointed. We had a large group of people stay in the house and there was plenty of space and it did not feel crowded at all. The outdoor kitchen was a great space for relaxing. The views are phenomenal and a great place to catch the sunset. I would stay there again if I have the need to return to the Baton Rouge area.

Perfect in every way
What a sweet little spot on earth, it was peaceful, well appointed, loved the outdoor firepit and kitchen area, as well as the front porch. The place was spacious and had great ambiance with the vaulted ceiling. Everyone was totally happy and in a good mood here. I know the vibe of the house had a lot to do with it.

Joie de vivre!
It's easy to experience the Cajun "Joie de vivre" in this beautiful home right on the banks of the Atchafalaya River. The setting is beautiful with a landscaped and manicured lawn with plenty of outdoor amenities. Even in the heat of July it was a relaxing experience sitting on the back porch under the ceiling fans to start and finish your day. The interior of the house is tastefully decorated and fully equipped for anything you may need during your stay. And there are plenty of things to do, both indoors and outdoors, in the surrounding Breaux Bridge and Atchafalaya Basin area. All in all, a wonderful stay - highly recommend.

A unique and special place!
What a wonderful home! It was immaculate, beautifully decorated, and had thoughtful touches throughout for a comfortable stay. The back porch had rocking chairs to enjoy the view of the river, and the outdoor kitchen was a perfect place to enjoy a crawfish dinner. The kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, and laundry room were stocked with everything you might need. The location is perfect, too, because it is in close proximity to Vermilion Village, swamp tours, and scenic routes to plantations. We look forward to our next stay with such gracious hosts. This is southern hospitality at its best!
