Good to know

This is a two bedroom two bath cottage. Each bedroom has a small private balcony porch overlooking the grounds. The main area is a large living room/ dining room combination with a small kitchen that has all the amenities you need. The cottage has a beautiful wrap around porch with a swing. From the porch you can see the mansion, a beautiful landscaped fountain, and the bayou. There is a bird aviary with pea fowl and ornamental pheasants, a green house, gazebo, and more.

Other Details to Note

This property is situated along the banks of the Bayou Teche. As such, there is wildlife galore. You may see alligators, snakes, bald eagles, egrets, blue herons, and great horned owls during your stay. Although the cottage is pet friendly, you will need to protect your pets by keeping them leashed while wandering the grounds. Children are also welcome but the bayou and the pond require constant vigilance.
