A large group of my family stayed at the house. It is in an absolute perfect location. Easy walking distance to everything you want to do in the city. House is spacious and great for a large group. The host went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. Would absolutely rent again.
The house was perfect for our stay. It was well stocked with everything we needed and even some extras - a half case of assorted Abita! We had plenty of space & privacy when needed. Neighbors were friendly & neighborhood safe. Location was great for being able to walk to restaurants, the university, etc. Would definitely stay there again!
The Gauthier House is a great venue, great location for any group of 10 -12. Jason is a great host, very accommodating and easy to work with. This was our group's second year in a row doing our spring golf trip to Lafayette. We stayed at the Gauthier House both time, and we look forward to returning again next year.
This is a great large group location for those looking for walking distance access to shops, restaurants and entertainment . It was very clean and comfortable and Jason was exceptional host . House was built in late 1880s and renovated . As noted in listing , you are right next to restaurants and night life which is great for walking to places but also means you are in the midst of nightlife . The house worked out great for us !

Mylia, we really enjoyed hosting your family group, and hope you can all come stay with us again sometime! Thank so much!
What a beautiful property. We booked this property for family travel. Unfortunately it wasn’t a vacation trip but we made the best of it. The host was great. Communication was not an issue. The house was absolutely beautiful. The rooms were comfy and cozy. Just like the photos. My favorite was the window nook inside the library. And the built in cupboards. The kitchen had updated appliances, and the location was central for our needs.
The property was very nice, clean, and a great location. Our group was 10, 50+ age men on a golf trip to Lafayette, LA. Jason was very responsive to any request we had. We stayed 3 nights and all was great. The only small negative is that it took running the water in the shower for about 2 minutes before the hot water kicked in. Jason told us about that before the trip, so we knew, but it was just a very minor inconvenience.
