Tranquil spot overlooking the bayou
The Olive Branch cottage was perfect for visiting family not far away. It was nice to watch a huge flock of Ibis settle in the water from the spacious screened porch. I recommend the cottage!

You won’t find better.
As a VRBO host myself, I can say this place is one of the nicest I have encountered. It looks freshly remodeled. It’s clean and decorated thoughtfully. 2 rooms, 2 televisions. Climate control and fans. The grounds are gorgeous! It’s on the waterfront. Country getaway close enough to the city for restaurants and galleries and shopping. I loved it. Anyone that decided to stay here would. I had a lovely chat with the host prior to checking out this morning and he was down to earth and told me a bit about the history of the structures we were staying in, which made me appreciate our stay even more. Highly recommended!

Wonderful place to stay
Very clean, quiet, and interesting place to stay. We appreciated the history behind the cottages and the decorating…very charming and unique! We especially enjoyed sitting on the screened-in porch at night, watching the Bayou Teche. A great experience for anyone interested in the history and culture of south Louisiana

Great place to stay.
Very easy check-in. Well appointed amenities. We stayed in the 2 bedroom. Comfortable beds. Screened in porch with view of the bayou. Very relaxing and close to everything around Lafayette. The owners are right there so if you were to need something they are available to you. We were VERY happy with our stay and you will too.

Beautiful, clean, and quiet
We are a family with three young kids. 7, 5, and 2. We stayed here as we were passing through on a vacation. It was a great stop and had everything we needed. We also realized we left some items (read above, we have 3 young kids) and they are being boxed up and shipped to us. Highly recommend!

Very clean and cute!
Nestled on bayou teche, this cabin was cute and very clean. The area was quiet, and the host provided coffee and some toiletries which was much appreciated! The beds were super comfortable, and the ACs kept the rooms cold. We were only staying one night for a wedding, but the cabin would make for a lovely weekend getaway. I can't stress enough how impressed we were with the cleanliness!

Awesome Getaway
The olive cottage was absolutely perfect and immaculate. Our friends stayed in the burgundy cottage and we were connected by a screened in porch which is where we stayed majority of the time. We had two full beds and a sofa with a spacious bathroom. The views from the Teche were beautiful and the owners were so attentive and personable. We will be back.

Charming, clean, and comfortable
The cottage was perfect for us. Very charming and roomier and more comfortable for my family than a hotel room would have been. Enjoyed the bottle of wine left for us by the owners. The location is perfect too. It’s right on the bayou so the view is very peaceful and there’s lots of outdoor area to run around which is great for kids. It feels like you’re out in the country but it was only about 8 minutes away from the places we wanted to visit. Unfortunately it was unseasonably cold so we didn’t spend much time enjoying the outside deck and grill, or screened in patio. Hopefully we can go back and stay again when it’s a little warmer.

Beautiful
As much as we enjoyed staying in the cottage, we did have a few critiques. The air conditioners have a very bright light..the temperature light. It made it difficult for some of us to sleep at night. Also, we just were not sure why the kitchen garbage can was so small. Lastly, we all would have loved larger mugs for coffee & hot tea. You must know..we truly loved staying there!! Thank you for sharing your property w/ us. I hope to bring my husband there some day. The screened in porch was fabulous!
