Carencro, Louisiana
The cottage is a stand-alone guest house on a hilltop overlooking a 4 acre private lake. The lake is a natural habitat and gives the feeling of being on the edge of the Atchafalaya Basin, while being only 5 minutes from I-49, and 8 minutes from I-10. Downtown Lafayette is about 18 minutes away. The property is perfectly located to explore all of South Louisiana, and especially Acadiana. Once you return from your adventures you can sit on the back porch, or in either bedroom, and watch often spectacular sunsets. Most times of year flocks of egrets and carmaranths fly into the cypress trees of the lake to roost for the night. One bedroom has two queen beds, and the other has one queen. Both bedrooms have smart TV’s and interesting art and decor, as well as ceilings made of reclaimed antique lumber and beams that create an upscale contemporary Cajun feel. The large living area has a kitchen, dining area, sofas, smart TV, desk, exercise equipment and wireless internet. The finishes throughout are high quality with comfortable Furnishings. There is a full sized refrigerator, washer and dryer. The hosts live nearby and are lifelong residents of the area. They will respect your privacy, but are also happy to provide suggestions for day trips, local dining, attractions, and just about anything you might want to do and see. This is a truly unique setting from which to explore South Louisiana, and enjoy its festivals, food, music, culture and the incredible hospitality of its people.
We are absolutely enamored with this quiet country home. The beds are super comfortable, it’s easy to get to and the owner is super nice. We use this as a “home base” between Lafayette and Opelousas. Furnished with everything We needed. Highly, highly recommend!
We spent our first anniversary here and were extremely pleased with the entire stay. The serene lake with birds, trees and greenery surrounding it was definitely one of the best parts of the property. Fishing was good, we caught catfish, bass and a few small bream. The cabin/house was wonderful also. Plenty of space, well furnished and equipped with most everything you would need. We loved it and would definitely recommend it.
Our hosts property was quite comfortable with a patio overlooking a beautiful pond. I would definitely stay there again
After a rocky start- no propane to heat water and fuel stove for cooking - everything was perfect. Stephen was very prompt to respond to our every need. He also gave us a partial refund for our inconvenience- very fair deal. Lovely view of pond populated with several ducks. Lots of activities and fabulous restaurants within 20 minutes driving time.
This property is absolutely beautiful! Great for relaxing and if you like to fish just walk out your door. We will be back!!!
Beautiful, peaceful property with the feeling of getting away from it all, while just a short drive to all the places you want to go. Loved the comfortable bedrooms and the sofa facing the picture window, giving you a view of water, birds and trees. We'll be going back!
This was a lovely setting and perfect for what I was looking for so sad that emergency family issues cut my visit short the hosts were so accommodating and sweet just super nice people!!
It’s a beautiful place to get away and enjoy nature
