This is a beautiful home in a picturesque setting. We ended up spending a lot of our time relaxing on the back porch just enjoying the view and bird watching. The interior is great, well decorated and very comfortable to cook, eat snd relax. Our first thought upon entry was the house was even prettier than the pictures

This house was the perfect Louisiana getaway. Being able to sit on the porch along the river, watch the birds, relax and catch up with good friends was wonderful. It was also a great location to head out and explore places like Lake Martin, Lake Fausse Point, Lafayette, Baton Rouge, etc

Look No Further!
The Atchafalaya House is an absolute favorite destination of our family's. The house is immaculate, and the entire property brings a sense of peace like no other. We consider this our home away from home. Situated on the banks of the Atchafalaya River, the experience here will have you coming back again and again. Sitting on the wharf to watch the sunrise and swinging on the porch to have a cup of coffee are medicine for the soul. You can bring your own groceries and never have to get out, or you can venture into Breaux Bridge, Lafayette, or Arnaudville for all the fun, shopping, and food you want! Everything is close enough to enjoy but far enough to create a quiet retreat away from the rest of the world. We will definitely be back - again and again - to enjoy this one-of-a-kind jewel of the Atchafalaya.

Wedding Weekend
The Atchafalaya River House is a stunning home and was perfect for those of us traveling from out of town and out of state to attend a local wedding. The outdoor kitchen area was a great place cook a big pot of gumbo and the front porch was the perfect spot for morning coffee with everyone. The house was fully stocked with everything needed to make you feel right at home.

Joie de vivre!
It's easy to experience the Cajun "Joie de vivre" in this beautiful home right on the banks of the Atchafalaya River. The setting is beautiful with a landscaped and manicured lawn with plenty of outdoor amenities. Even in the heat of July it was a relaxing experience sitting on the back porch under the ceiling fans to start and finish your day. The interior of the house is tastefully decorated and fully equipped for anything you may need during your stay. And there are plenty of things to do, both indoors and outdoors, in the surrounding Breaux Bridge and Atchafalaya Basin area. All in all, a wonderful stay - highly recommend.

Picture Perfect
We really enjoyed our time in the River House. It was absolutely beautiful inside and outside. Fully stocked with anything we needed. The owners were very kind and checked in with us throughout our stay. With family in the Lafayette area, this will be our first choice for lodging on all future trips. The house was absolutely incredible. The property was very well maintained. Lawn perfectly manicured. It was wonderful watching the wildlife.

Peaceful and Beautiful
This is a beautiful and comfortable home. We enjoyed all the inside and outdoor areas including the outdoor kitchen. We spent time watching birds and wildlife in the river and bar pit. The bird feeders kept us entertained. The owner checked with us frequently to be sure we were comfortable. The check in and check out process were a cinch. I enjoyed the books on local history and provided information about the area. Would love to stay again!

BEAUTIFUL +
I was looking forward to getting in before 4:00 pm. Fortunately for us all - I got a call the day before telling me the guests scheduled to be there till11:00 am left early and we could get into the house any time after 12 noon. Our plans had changed because of the time restriction but we were still able to get to the house at 2:15. GREAT! We wanted MORE time to spend on the beautiful porch and lovely outdoor kitchen. God had different plans for us. We had the coldest day of March! We stayed in the house the entire time we were there and enjoyed the fireplace the whole time (none of us have a fireplace at home). This was something new to us all but we all enjoyed the time there even though we had to stay in. We had lots of food (gumbo made with our leftover crawfish boil we had before leaving for Butte LaRose). We played cards and dominoes Sunday night, Monday morning and afternoon, and again on Tuesday morning before we left. ALL IN ALL - GREAT PLACE FOR A GREAT TIME WITH GREAT FRIENDS. THANK YOU DIXIE AND YOUR STAFF! We were there last May and hopefully, God willing, we'll be all together again next year. Never enough time there. Hopefully we can make it back next year. D.

SUPER GREAT....
House was beautiful and comfortable. I've been doing vacation rentals for over 10 years. Never have I been in a place so well furnished and so comfortable for 7 people to spend 3 days together. My only suggestion - label the light/fan fixtures -there are many. Note: I put an "X" on the spot where an elevator would fit in well. Only joking, the stairs were tolerable. My group was older than I with back surgeries and knee replacements. I'm the youngest (75) and I only had to go up once, thank goodest. Thanks to Dixie and God the weather turned out great for us - leaving lots of rain behind in Lafayette, Erath, etc. The river current was too strong for fishing but great to watch - morning, noon, and evening. The porch was great place to watch the beautiful birds that seem to be encouraged to visit because of all the feeders. The outdoor kitchen was great for cooking hamburgers on the grill. I could have spent a month there and am already thinking about going back next year. Pray it will be available. Deanna Lafayette, LA
