We certainly enjoyed our stay. The views and the bird watching off the back deck are certainly entertaining. We were even lucky enough to see an alligator one morning. I wish we hadn't been so busy with football in Baton Rouge, so we could have enjoyed the property even more. A return visit is a must! The town of Vacherie is so precious. We met lots of great people, especially at DJ's Grill (we went there twice). Thank you for letting us stay at your unique home.

It was a great roomy place to stay. Had everything we wanted. it was a beautiful place and it really had everything we wanted. We were able to cook and there was everything we needed. I especially liked that there were plenty of bathrooms and washing machines. The patio area under house was nice as well with ceiling fans and picnic tables. We did use the grill. The kids loved the ping-pong table, too.
The only problem we had was the central air conditioner on the upstairs not working. But Jason answered my multiple calls. Repair man came out twice. When it couldn't be fixed he had someone come put window units in. Heat index 116 while we were there. The window units worked well in bedrooms but probably needed a larger unit for large room upstairs or maybe one more unit. I would give 5 stars if it were not for the inconvenience if the air conditioner not working properly.

We enjoyed a fantastic stay! Quality fishing and outdoor time. Great to be away from electronics. The house is new, big and has all modern amenities. We drove into New Orleans for dinner and a night of fun.

We really enjoyed the house. It was great for our family of 6, everyone had a bed of their own and the kids had a hang out area upstairs.
We weren't familiar with this part of the country, we really enjoyed the tour at the Evergreen Plantation, which was pretty close.
If you've not been down there, be prepared for long drive times as many of the roads meander quite a bit. Fortunately the small towns and countryside that you drive through is very pretty.

This was an awesome vacation meeting up with family! Had all the space we needed and it was so peaceful! Mosquitos were not too bad. Recommendations for a grocery store and restaurant were perfect!! Thank you Jason & Ashley! Your home is beautiful and in a perfect location without being too far from anything!

The 5 of us had a family vacation for the holidays in southern Louisiana. We enjoyed exploring New Orleans for a week, but this spacious and comfortable house was a haven of calm and peace after the hustle and bustle. We kayaked, played ping-pong, cooked gumbo and jambalaya, visited nearby Laura and Whitney plantations (highly recommend!), walked around the neighboring lakeside houses, and most importantly, rested. We could spend hours bird-watching from pretty much every room in the house. Thanks Jason and Ashley for making our stay a breeze!

Beautiful house with 3 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths. More than adequate for our guests. It was hot, humid and buggy the majority of our stay, so we stayed on the decks and didn't venture out on the grass. It was a lovely view and saw an occasional gator and eagle along with other birds and large turtles.
If you like peace , tranquility and family togetherness it's a perfect place! If your aim is going into New Orleans and Baton Rouge, etc. it's over an hour drive each way.
Jason and Ashley were great hosts and responded quickly when I had a question.

We really appreciated how quickly we were able to pull this vacation together at the last minute since our vacation to the FL Keys was cancelled due to the hurricane. Jason was great to work with - very responsive to all of our questions. The house was very well kept. We saw a lot of interesting things and tasted food that we had never had before. Several plantations are close to this house to tour. We went to Oak Alley Plantation where we also enjoyed a nice lunch at their restaurant. We also visited Avery Island to see how Tabasco sauce was made and its history. Of course, we went to New Orleans several times as well. We enjoyed watching the alligators at dusk from the balcony. We also caught catfish, trout and a few snails off of the dock. Thanks for your hospitality.
