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

Look No Further!
The Atchafalaya House is an absolute favorite destination of our family's. The house is immaculate, and the entire property brings a sense of peace like no other. We consider this our home away from home. Situated on the banks of the Atchafalaya River, the experience here will have you coming back again and again. Sitting on the wharf to watch the sunrise and swinging on the porch to have a cup of coffee are medicine for the soul. You can bring your own groceries and never have to get out, or you can venture into Breaux Bridge, Lafayette, or Arnaudville for all the fun, shopping, and food you want! Everything is close enough to enjoy but far enough to create a quiet retreat away from the rest of the world. We will definitely be back - again and again - to enjoy this one-of-a-kind jewel of the Atchafalaya.

About the host

Host profile image
We were born and reared in South Louisiana. We have had this property for 30 years. Our three sons are very familiar with the area and grew up fishing, swimming and playing on the River. We have six Grandchildren who love water sports also. We are avid fishermen and boaters, and spend our free time on the River and the Basin fishing, skiing, tubing and boating. We love to bird watch and the Basin and surrounding area afford us a multitude of birds to view. We currently live in the community of Youngsville, LA.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property to get away and relax.

What makes this property unique

Quiet, scenic River views with awesome bird watching and fishing.
