Overview
Circa 1890, This Historic home has lots of unique antique character with modern style that you will not see anywhere else!! Consists of 12 foot ceilings and all original wood floors. House is fully furnished including king size bed, sofa sleeper, oversized chair with twin sleeper, 6 burner Wolf range with all the cookware you could ever need. The master bath has a large brick walk in shower. The original mill work, hardware and painted walls from 1890 have been preserved! The front porch has 2 rockers or you can relax on the large covered cypress deck with charcoal pit at the rear of the home that opens onto a brick laid patio. Located in very quiet, peaceful area right outside of Lafayette City Limits but close to everything. Amazing place for Cajun Country visitors or anyone just looking for a getaway!
About Jared Richard
I am Jared Richard. I have spent majority of my life in Scott, Louisiana. I obtained my Bachelor's Degree from McNeese State in Lake Charles. I enjoy cooking cajun food, enjoying wine, travel and spending time with family and friends. I am very passionate about the Louisiana & Cajun culture as you will see in The Castle. I am a firm believer in keeping old traditions alive and preserving old homes and buildings. I hope you get the opportunity to stay at The Castle and I always enjoy meeting our guest if time allows.
Why Jared Richard chose Louisiana
Read the Reviews! Definitely worth the stay!
What makes this house unique
The home is a perfect twist of historic structure with modern fixings. It's carefully decorated with unique pieces that connect to the Louisiana Cajun culture. It was used for the filming of the GMC Sierra commercial in 2016!
Also check out our other VRBO vacation stay - Paul's Studio located in downtown Scott at The Old Bank of Scott where I currently reside after an extensive remodel.

Wonderful!

Beautiful home with charm and character. Enjoyable for both adults and children. Close to city life.
This home has everything you can imagine provided for you. Far above expectation. Great location in the country, but close to city living. The back patio is one of the greatest features for entertaining, waking up to in the morning, and relaxing on during the afternoon/evening hours. This beautiful home is comfortable for honeymoons, family vacations, weekend getaways, or possibly a great place to stay during a business trip. The charm in this house is incredible, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay this past week.
An enjoyable place to stay.
The authenticity of this old Acadian home blended with the modern conveniencies made this vacation very memorable. It was like stepping back into a lifestyle of yesterday. We have never stayed any place that was so fully stocked. We especially loved sitting on the back porch listening to the rain on the tin roof. I highly recommend this place.
Relaxing time
The moment you open the door you know your somewhere special.unfortunatly we didn't get to do the exploring we had wanted to due to hurricane Harvey,but what a lovely location to sit back and recharge your batteries.
We spent a lot of the time on the back deck watching the rain and enjoying the company of the neighbors cats .
Our last evening the sun came out and we got on our bikes and rode to uncle T's oyster bar well worth the ride.
Needed a quiet and restful place ...and found it!!!
Just the place for quiet and romantic time with the hubs after a few months of hard work and long days. Papa callais gave us tickets to garth brooks and triaha yearwood and we made a weekend of it at this amazingly peacefull and revitalizing home in Scott, La. close to lafayette yet worlds apart. Authentic 1890's home with antiques, lots of character, and a great back porch. Slept well and breathed easy during our 3 days. Inspiration for our next, downsized home. Great job jared and rob. U rocked the renovation!!
Fantastic property and host!
Truly enjoyed our stay and hope to have more sunsets on the back porch in the future!
Lovely place; accomodating owners
Lovely home. Owners are helpful and accommodating. This will continue to be our first choice for our trips home to the Lafayette area.
