Excellent Property
We reserved this property for our friends that were going through a difficult time. They informed us that they really enjoyed the solitude and the comfort of the upstairs beds. Based on their experience I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a quaint getaway.

Quirky, colorful, and cozy with luxury touches
This was my second stay here and it was even better than I remembered. Our group loved discovering all the unique decorative details. The kitchen and laundry facilities remain the best I have ever found at a vacation rental - we had everything we needed to cook homemade meals. Doug quickly responded to any questions or needs. If you're traveling to New Iberia with your family or a group of friends I highly recommended this rental.

Perfect Accommodation for our Family
This house was perfect for our family of five adults. Very unique rooms with comfy beds and soft linens. Lots of little extras that you don’t see from other owners. The back yard has a huge privacy fence, a nice fire pit, even tiki torches- all combined it made for perfect evenings sitting outside visiting. We hope this is available on our next visit to New Iberia. :)

A Gem Next to Downtown New Iberia
This is--without any exaggeration--the most well appointed and welcoming vacation rental I've set foot in. Every inch of the home is decorated with tons of character like an interior designer's playground. There are so many interesting architectural features, too, that made us all curious about the history of this unique home. All the appliances are high end, no corner is cut. And the host is very nice and communicative. Our stay was the most laid back experience. I primarily chose to stay here for the location, which was very close to the activities we were in town for. I would love to come back and enjoy the home itself. Because we were out all day and really only there to sleep, it felt like there was more to enjoy if we had time to relax there. The home is on a busyish main thoroughfare but set back nicely so that it feels private. It's a little sanctuary set back from the hustle and bustle. The charming downtown and Bayou Teche are within walking distance so there is plenty to do without going far. There are train tracks nearby but this is going to be the case for every home in this neighborhood. I am glad I didn't bring my young child with me, there is way too much precious stuff here that I wouldn't be comfortable with him there. But for adults or even older kids, this is an amazing place to stay and enjoy not only New Iberia but this amazing home. If you're coming to do something that will have you out all day, book an extra day just to enjoy this wonderful home.

Another excellent stay at this property
Stayed at this property for the second time this year. I’m born and raised in the area and had to come down for my parent’s 48th wedding anniversary. I still love everything about this property and it’s really a GEM of a place to rent in that area. The location is great. And Doug is amazing to work with. Thanks again for everything!

Enjoyed taking in all the updates plus designer/antique touches. Located close to downtown
We enjoyed our long weekend. Loved taking in all of the designer and antique touches. Great cooling system during hot weather this summer. Well stocked kitchen with basic items, snacks and specialty ice cubes. Towels and linens smelled so fresh. Very clean house. Restaurants, shopping and art gallery nearby. No issues with management.

Colorful and Cozy Chateau with Outstanding Hospitality
It was a treat to spend two weeks at this gem in downtown New Iberia. The host's attention to detail is everywhere, from the eclectic decor and eye-popping wallpaper, brand new appliances, and well-stocked kitchen. Usually I end up having to buy some practical item a rental is missing but this one had an abundance of pots, pans, dishcloths, towels, plastic food storage containers, and even Ziploc bags. The beds were comfortable and every bedroom had closet hangers and a luggage rack available. Morning light in the sunroom was another favorite feature. You do hear the trains on the track behind the house but honestly there is nowhere in downtown New Iberia that doesn't get railroad noise. We adjusted and soon barely noticed it at all. Our communication with Douglas was always wonderful. He responded quickly to questions and made sure our every need was met. This was truly one of my best vacation rental experiences, and I can't wait to stay here again.

Amazing Step back in Time
The restored home is reminiscent of a simpler time with nothing missed in the details! From the moment you open the door you are transported to another time and everything feels thoughtful and important. The coziness of each room is highlighted by the antiques, the exquisite wallpaper and all the fine details including the linens, towels, and amenities of home. The experience is truly 6 stars! Be sure and bring your ear plugs for the toot toot train nightly but again it’s a gentile step back in time and everything moves a little more slowly. Highly recommend and would love to visit again! Close proximity to quaint Main Street, short drive to Avery Island and Rip Van Winkle Gardens. If you want 21st century chains and restaurants it’s 3 min away, but I recommend the local fare hands down!

This is a 6-star house. Five stars not enough. Wonderful renovation. Furniture and decorations exquisite. The towels smelled delicious and were so soft. The kitchen had everything and very high-end appliances. Fabulous touches all over to make you feel at home. The owner was easy to communicate with. There was nothing missing. Bedrooms so comfortable. I can’t say enough. New Iberia May be out of the way depending on what you are doing but if you get close, stay here. It is even worth the drive to go a few miles to get here. I have traveled world wide and this home ranks in the tops!

We all thoroughly enjoyed staying here. There are a few “hallelujah steps” - lol - you forget they’re there & then, Hallelujah!! Hahaha! It is in a great locale to walk to the bayou & other places of interest in the downtown area of New Iberia. The furnishings were comfortable & luxurious. The kitchen amenities are fabulous! Only complaint was the TP; you should provide your own.

Best VRBO I have stayed in!
This house is gorgeous, and so cozy for a trip with my spouse and parents. Everything about the house and decore was charming and inviting. New Iberia is a great central location to explore South Louisiana, and our favorite thing to do after a day of exploring was sit around the fire in the living room. The beds were plush and comfortable, and location in downtown was perfect. We will absolutely stay here again and highly recommend the property.

A gem of a place to stay in New Iberia!
If you’re thinking of staying here, please don’t hesitate! The place is gorgeous and the hosts are amazing. I’m originally from New Iberia but I’ve lived out of the state for many years. I had to come in town for an engagement so I booked this stay. It’s hands down been one of the best rentals that I’ve ever booked. The place is beautiful and cozy. And the location is perfect. The owners are easily accessible. From the time I booked my stay until I was leaving, they responded to my messages quickly and checked in on me as well. I hated leaving. I will definitely stay here again.
