Rang in the New Year under a clear country sky

The family and I enjoyed our stay, using the excellent BBQ to grill up some yummy food we enjoyed in the quiet countryside (aside from some adjacent fireworks). The home is lovely, with a great big TV and plenty of content to enjoy. Bed is comfy and the shower is great. I would definitely recommend and stay again.

Perfect getaway! Clean and relaxing.

Our stay was so perfect for our family. The house is beautifully decorated with Cajun charm. The hosts could not be friendlier, and everything provided was super clean and cozy. The pool and garden is gorgeous and the night sky is filled with stars. We can’t wait to visit again!

The perfect place.

Stop looking! You have found it! We can’t say enough about The Cajun Getaway and it’s host, Mrs. Janice. With perfect accommodations, beautiful landscaping (and pool), comfortable layout, and wonderfully secluded location… you will love it too. There were even personal touches that made our stay absolutely perfect. A BIG thank you to Mrs. Janice and we will see you soon!!

Beautiful place for a getaway

Loved this place! Wonderful pool all to ourselves. Every snack and food you would want, as well as great wine. To have a full size washer and dryer is so convenient. The only change I'd suggest would be to change the double bed to a queen size. Be sure to check out the owner's beautiful pottery.

Quintessential Cajun

The home is very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The garden/pool area is lovely and relaxing. Janice and David are the perfect hosts; very warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived until we left. When everything you need, and more, is provided, what else is there to say? We would definitely recommend Cajun Getaway to friends and hope to return one day ourselves.

Family fun

My family enjoyed the Cajun Getaway! The spacious house and large pool were amazing to relax and enjoy family time together. Stocked items in kitchen made it easy to enjoy a meal on site or cook healthy meals. Thank you for your thoughtfulness on this. Owners are around to help if need and are very friendly. 10 minutes or so from town to go shopping or see a movie. Looking forward to returning. You will love this property!

Perfect Girls Trip

This property was the PERFECT location for a girls get away weekend. The pool was beautiful. The property was secluded, and Ms. Janice and Mr. David were great hosts. The fridge was stocked with eggs, bacon, milk, OJ, etc. I've rented a lot of properties from VRBO, and I've never experienced that before. I will return and tell all of my friends.

Home away from home

Beautiful home and a wonderful place to stay. The property manager was accommodating and a pleasure to speak with. Everything about the home was clean and the pool and property were very well kept. There was even a quant area with hammock, swings and garden lights to enjoy. The freshly stocked fridge and pantry with all the dishes and cooking supplies needed made our stay easy and convenient. We even got to enjoy a family dinner poolside and my kids loved it. Highly recommend this home and plan to return in the future. Thanks again!
