About this property

Experience Louisiana, Cabin on Bayou Petite Anse, centrally located in Acadiana

Cabin:

The Cabin is centrally located in Acadiana, which includes 22 parishes in French Louisiana in the southern part of the state. The cabin’s back balcony gives you a view of Bayou Petite Anse. You may see an alligator sunning himself or looking for prey along with a bullfrog happily jumping his way down the bayou. Iberia Parish is home to 240 species of birds. During wood duck season, you can watch the wood ducks hatching in the three boxes by the wharf. Alligators, garfish and catfish make their way down the waterway in this Louisiana paradise.
The cabin has kayaks with paddles and life jackets that can be used at the boat launch on the property.

The loft bedroom is decorated in a Rip Van Winkle Garden theme and is a large area that is accessed by stairs and is open to the living area. It has a king size bed and a King Coil queen air mattress that can be added if additional sleeping is needed. Rip Van Winkle Gardens is known for their peacocks walking around the grounds in all their splendor and this room is a reflection of the beauty that can be found at the Gardens.

The Tabasco themed bedroom, located downstairs, has a king bed and is directly across from the bathroom. Take time to look at the prints and items that tell the story of Tabasco. End your night by reading the beautifully illustrated book “TABASCO: An Illustrated History” by Shane Bernard. There is a TV with an apple box set up.

The newly renovated bathroom, located downstairs, offers you a choice of a roomy shower or a soaking tub.

The kitchen has brand new appliances, new granite countertops and an open floor plan. You can cook and watch the 55” TV and if weather permits, turn on the gas fireplace to warm up the place.

The laundry room has a large, full size washer and dryer. The Cabin is equipped with many cooking items from pots to baking pans, blender, mixer, omelet maker, Keurig coffee pot and more.

Parking will never be an issue. There is ample space to park.

This location is close to Downtown New Iberia, Abbeville, Lafayette, Broussard, St. Martinville, Breaux Bridge, Jeanerette and Franklin. Enjoy one of our many restaurants, all within a 10 mile radius or run to the meat market/grocery store five miles away and cook at the Cabin. There is just so much to see and do here!

Area:
Tabasco is 8 minutes drive from the cabin. Jungle Gardens, the museum, the store and restaurant are walk up. Factory tours are available. The Cabin is located on Bayou Petite Anse where you can kayak down the bayou directly from the cabin to the McIlhenny Tabasco Factory. You can drive through Jungle Gardens and view the bird sanctuary. Finish your day with a tour of the factory and eat lunch at Tabasco’s 1868 Restaurant. End your day with a visit to the Tabasco country store and make sure you try the Tabasco ice cream. This destination is six miles from the Cabin and can easily be reached by car.

In the opposite direction is Rip Van Winkle Gardens. Five miles from the Cabin sits a beautiful semi-tropical garden with a tour of the Joseph Jefferson Mansion. Café Jefferson overlooks Lake Peigneur and offers tasty dishes with a southern flair. Our family favorite is Seafood Heaven. Rip’s Rookery has many species of birds, among them the Spoonbill Roseate. Jefferson Island has over 260 species of birds. It is truly a bird watchers paradise.

Konrico Company Store/Conrad Rice Mill is the oldest operating rice mill in the US and only six miles from the Cabin. Tour the Rice Mill, you can taste the rice and buy it from their store on property. Try the Wild Pecan Brown Rice. It’s our family favorite!

The Shadows on the Teche was built in 1834 on the banks of Bayou Teche and it is located six miles from the Cabin. The Spanish moss draped oaks and gardens are breathtaking. The Classic Revival-style home with a Louisiana Colonial floor plan has tours daily.

Downtown New Iberia, located six miles from the Cabin and conveniently down the street from The Shadows on the Teche, offers many restaurants, shopping and bar options. Also located downtown is the Bayou Teche Museum, a state-of-the art museum with a permanent collection of artifacts and memorabilia from the region telling the story of a growing city, its people, culture and industry all centered around the “snake-like” curves of the Bayou Teche. It also offers a “Rodrigue Comes Home” rotating exhibit of original paintings by George Rodrigue.

Visit the Paul Schexnayder Studio + Gallery and shop for paintings, ceramics, collage, wood and metal art, jewelry, prints, books and gifts from artists in the area. Three of Paul’s pieces hang in the Cabin.

Lovely stay on Bayou Petite Anse

We had such a nice little vacation here! The house is beautiful and well appointed—Patti even decorated it lavishly for Mardi Gras. We loved the location because we could go off in all directions to find things to do and fabulous restaurants. Only one tiny suggestion: the beautiful bathtub is very slippery and dangerous for getting out—it could use a nonslip pad or strips and something to grab when exiting the bath. Patti was attentive to our every need, just the best host ever!

Great Escape from NOLA

Patty provided us the perfect escape from New Orleans. The house was perfectly appointed. There were amenities like coffee, champagne, and basic condiments. There were plenty of outdoor and indoor activities. She provided several recommendations of places to visit, some of which we did. We highly recommend her house. Thank you!

Christmas stay 2024

We have stayed here once before and throughly enjoyed our stay. So we booked again for 2024 Christmas. The property is wonderful all our needs were met and then some. The weather was much better this year over last year so we spent a good deal enjoying the outside areas. This is a great property very well managed and professionally up-kept. We will definitely be back again and again.

Don't miss this gem! Better than the Pictures.

A wonderful blend of original hardwood floors combined with fully modern kitchen and bath. Lots of windows, lovely fireplace, comfy furniture and bed - and I just used the main floor only! More room in a loft-style upstairs. The main bed was very good with lots of pillows and extra bedding. Walkin closet loaded with extras. The bathroom had a welcoming deep soaker tub and large tile shower - both were excellent! Stunning front and back balconies overlooking beautiful, green community on one side and a calm stunning bayou on the other - you can kayak right out your back door. There's also a patio on the bayou with comfy outdoor chairs and tables - saw birds, flying fish, etc. right off the patio. I've never seen so many extras for guests!! Spices, food, coffee and tea station, marshmallows and hot chocolate, snacks - the list goes on in addition to cleaning supplies, shampoo, body wash, conditioner - truly went above and beyond a standard rental. The owner even offered to drop off bath bombs because she forgot to leave some in the bathroom! I was impressed by this home (by the way, there's also a mechanical lift for hauling things into the home if you don't want to use the stairs). Location: keep in mind it's a slightly rural area and unfortunately there was a storm in June causing damage to Rip Van Winkle gardens so they were closed. But visits to New Iberia, Tabasco factory, jungle gardens, Lafayette, and Cajun Country Swamp Tours were great!
