We had a blast and fished off the boat pier and caught lots of fish. We also brought our boat and fished every dsy! We boiled crabs and shrimp, BBQued steaks and fried fish! They have everything you need to do this. I brought my own fryer and set up outside. Eating in the outside room was awesome and they even have boiled seafood trays. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was soooooooooo well stocked ! I was super impressed!
If you bring a boat make sure you have rubber bumpers as the boat slip is occupied but there is plenty of space to tie your boat up to the covered boathouse. Bring poles, Carolina rigs 1.5 oz or 2oz, a cast net for mullet (cut mullet for bait) sharp filet knives and a sharpener for cleaning fish. Ziplock bags too. I used a yard fogger for each night at the firepit for mosquitoes. Bring firewood and fire starters. Made great memories & my brother didn’t register his catch but he caught a 40lb+ Channel Cat at the Shrimp Plant (State record is 30lbs!)

We had a wonderful stay! Great place. Very comfortable and modern in an out of the way location. Perfect combination of peaceful and full of amenities. You can definitely trust what you see in the description and photos. Has a great back porch overlooking the bayou too. Be sure to check out Rip van Winkle gardens close by. I’m not usually a gardens person but these were great. Very interesting tour of the historic home. Great meal at the restaurant as well. If you like to boil your own seafood (we did) their boil room at the house has everything you need. Pick up crabs, shrimp or crawfish locally depending on the season.
Hosts are very friendly and responsive. Home is very well stocked, comfortable and roomy. There’s a Wal-Mart only 8 miles away in a neighboring town if you need it. Restaurants available only 8-10 miles away in Abbeville or New Iberia. Overall a great experience and would definitely go back again.

Jeremy and Stephanie were very helpful, communicative and attentive. They checked in on us to make sure our stay was going smoothly. They even had some helpful tips for fishing. The place was clean and had all of the essentials. Our only regret was not booking their property longer.

Wonderful! At the end of our baseball season we play our last tournament in the Lafayette area. I found this property as a way for all of my coaches, we have multiple teams, to not be cooped up in a hotel on downtime. They had room to sleep 6 which I needed. They had a view of canal which was good for early morning coaches to enjoy. Even saw a few Gators and caught a couple fish. Thank you Jeremy and Stephanie for the accomodations.

Everything was perfect! Grass was growing fast due to all of the rain, hosts had it cut the next day once notified. Great bird watching, alligators too. No disappointments in the house, built and trimmed professionally. Everything worked as it should.

Extremely clean for a water front property, not even one dead bug was found inside.
Very quiet at night, kids slept well and we enjoyed the outdoor spaces.
Kitchen was very well appointed.
Overall, it was run very professionally
