Great time!
Absolutely loved the quaint little cottage! It had everything we needed to enjoy a weekend getaway. Fishing was a challenge due to the steep bank, Would definitely return.

Sweet stay on the bayou
We really enjoyed the cottage! Everything we needed was there! We ended up having to stay indoors more than expected because of the rain every day. The house had a great floor plan and had all of the necessities. We comfortably slept, cooked and hung out for 4 days! The location was close to some wonderful places in Lafayette and frankly, Louisiana! Definitely, get sandwiches from Olde Tyme Grocery-local dining gem 💎 The hosts were very accommodating! Great value for the money! My only wish was more seclusion. But, I would recommend!

Wonderful Stay
Everything was just perfect. There were two of us so we had ample room. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. Very nicely decorated and we would definitely stay again.

Why they chose this property

The Evangeline Cottage at Cottages on the Bayou sits on 2.5 acres right on the Vermilion Bayou. This one-of-a-kind property is surrounded by trees and other beauties of nature, and makes you feel like you’ve left the city limits of Lafayette. You will not want to miss out on hanging a hammock in the trees and enjoying (or falling asleep to!) the soothing sounds of nature surrounding you; or roasting marshmallows in the fire pit for s’mores after you’ve cooked up some good ole' Cajun food on the BBQ pit; or walking to the edge of the property where you’ll find a wrought-iron swing to watch the sunset on the water.

Looking for the icing on the cake? Cottages on the Bayou is only 1 mile from the airport, 2 miles from UL, and minutes away from Downtown Lafayette! Travel just 1 minute down the road and you are bound to find a place to shop, eat, or just listen to live music.

We look forward to seeing you!

What makes this property unique

In addition to all of the unique amenities provided to you at Cottages on the Bayou, if you stay at the Evangeline Cottage, you will receive $8 off per person for a tour around Lafayette with Cajun Food Tours - “Experience the Flavor of Louisiana!” The bus will even pick you up right from your cottage!
We have also partnered with Wanderlust Rentals who offer self-service as well as group kayak rentals! Check out their website for more info! www.wlrental.com
