We stayed at the lovely 1901 Historic 3-Story Home Sterling Street. We had a wonderful 4 night stay with plenty of room for family and friends. also rented the cottage. Everyone enjoyed Ashley's lovely home and beautiful grounds and pool. Thank you for having such a great place for people to stay!
Our family had a wonderful stay while in town for a weekend music festival. This is a large, spacious home with a beautiful new pool, several outdoor areas for gathering, and lots of activities for kids. The interior is beautifully decorated... we spent a fair amount of time wandering through the house and appreciating the rooms. The beds were the most comfortable out of any rental we've stayed at, the linens were beautiful, and the amenities thoughtful & generous. We felt like we were staying at a friend's home. Communication with our host was friendly, thorough & prompt. We would love to stay here again on a return trip. Highly recommend!!
Family meeting in Lafayette from Tx, Ms and Al to celebrate summer birthdays. The house was perfect for our group of 9 and we all enjoyed the pool and overall location of the property!
Amazing property!
Our stay was totally awesome! The home was exactly as it was described on the website and so much more. Our family traveled from all parts of the country to stay for a college graduation. When we arrived the check-in process was seamless. The home is located on a large corner lot in the historical district. The kitchen is very well apportioned and has any/all appliances, cookware and dishes that we needed for our large group. The way the host (Ashley) has decorated this historical home is absolutely beautiful with modern updates that still maintain the history of the home. The beds were the most comfortable of any VRBO we have ever stayed in. The linens were crisp and clean and towels both bath and pool were a plenty. The grounds of the home were perfectly manicured with a new swimming pool and outdoor furniture to enjoy. Ashley was the best hostess ever. She answered all our questions and made us feel like we were at home. Thank you for being so accessible. We travel often and use VRBO for many of our stays across the country. I can say without a doubt this is/was the best experience we have ever had. We will definitely be back for a future trip.
Highly recommend thus property. House was perfect for our needs. Very comfortable and spacious.
Very lovely and comfortable
Great home that always works well for our family
This home is beautiful and spacious. Perfect for large parties. Great parking to accomodate all the vehicles. Ashley provided everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Everyone in our party was sad to leave. We gathered each night by the fire pit outside. Such great memories made here. Look forward to doing it again.
This house has it all!!! We booked this house for our family to stay in while attending our nephew’s wedding. The house had plenty of room to spread out, was beautifully decorated and had plenty for my 8 year old to do. We were able to prepare and cater a meal for 20 in the gourmet kitchen. Everything we needed to prepare a multi-course meal was available. All we needed were the groceries. Our wonderful hostess provided suggestions for local grocery stores & restaurants. The patio area and front lawn were perfect for our gathering of 20 and again our hostess could not have been more helpful. Beds were all very comfortable, linens top notch!!! This is the place to stay when visiting Lafayette!!!!!
We completely enjoyed our stay. This house is perfect for large groups.
Stunned and amazed by the period specific decor. The house was perfect for our executive retreat. The kitchen is as well stock a kitchen as I have ever been in. My entire team felt spoiled and my wife and daughter simply adored the 3rd floor! Ashley was also quick to respond and very accommodating when our schedule went a little over because of flight delays. Thank you! I hope to have our Family Reunion Here!
This home and the grounds are truly awesome. Elegant, spacious, yet peaceful and homey. The huge yard with gorgeous trees and great outdoor seating was wonderful. The kitchen and the rest of the home were well appointed, with everything we needed. Ashley was terrific throughout and we will definitely want to return to this beautiful home.
The house was amazing - everything you need under one roof! We had a family wedding in town and used the house as a gathering space for out of town guests for the weekend. Plenty of space for all of us and plenty of things for the kids to do!! It was great!
