A great experience!

Four of us in from TN & TX tho we are from Lafayette. The Blue House was a delight! Charming. Cozy. Very clean. Creative decor. Comfy beds. Perfect location. Peaceful (UL on Christmas break.) Quiet time on the porch swing to the lullaby of the train in the distance—we love this home and will be back!

Lafayette Rules

I just love this town. This place is so well equipped, decorated so artistically, and so comfortable for our group of 6 that it was a pleasure to retreat to and wake up in over several days of adventure. The host was very accommodating when we had a change of plans just a month or so before beginning the stay, and everything went so smoothly with the process. I highly recommend it, at the risk of it not being available next time we come!!

Great Rental

Great stay for a “girls” trip. We had everything needed…three roomy bedrooms with comfortable beds, nice kitchen, beautiful bathrooms, good location, many restaurants close by within a few minutes. Would make one suggestion…hand rail on the back steps…it rained for two days while we were there and the steps were a little slippery. All in all would highly recommend.

Perfect stay

The Blue House is a perfect property to accomodate 6 adults, we were four so plenty of space and privacy for both couples. All we needed was there and more. I would recommand this property anytime. The host, Tyler, was really helpfull, he helped us find activities from the surrounding (great swamp tour just 25 minutes from the property) Jacques,Lucie, Mario and Patricia

Blue Gem in the middle of old town Lafayette

We enjoyed every moment at the very special Blue House. Being equipped with all modern amenities, it still maintains its antique and historic character. The Downtown area and many good restaurants (we very much liked the “Bon temps Grill’) are in walking distance, so we explored most of the area on foot. Not far away there’s a natural habitat (Lake Martin, where we went on a beautiful swamp tour) and the nice little town of Breaux Bridge, worth being visited. We would definitely stay again at the Blue house when visiting Lafayette again.
