Accommodations

This country victorian home is located right on the banks of Bayou Lafourche. The setting is absolutely stunning! You can rest in the hammock and watch the bayou flow slowly by or rock in the comfortable rockers on the back porch facing the bayou. Watch the water birds searching the floating vegetation for food. Catch sight of a bald eagle soaring over the bayou where fish are jumping. Catch a glimpse of an alligator raise its head above water or an egret perched on the wharf. Hear the sounds of birds, crickets, owls, and bullfrogs.

All 4 rooms are non-smoking. Three rooms have a double or queen sized bed along with a twin bed. One room has a single twin bed. All beds have extremely comfortable mattresses and are very quiet and peaceful. These are 2 qualities that I look for when reserving a room.
