About this property

Exclusive gated Cottage on the Bayou

Private guest cottage on 7 sprawling acres of ancient live oaks on the banks of the Bayou Teche. There is a luxurious king size murphy bed, huge living room, full bathroom with tub/shower, and kitchenette. Take our kayaks out for a leisurely tour of the bayou, or relax on the hanging swing from the private dock, catch some fish, or just take in the beauty of the nature that is all around. Perfect for a family getaway or retreat. The Cypress Bayou Casino, Avery Island and the Tabasco Factory, Jefferson Island, Lafayette, and New Iberia are just a short drive. Stroll down Franklin's main street for shopping, antiquing, kayak tours, ghost tours, and airboat tours.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Arlington Mansion Carriage House

This was my first vrbo rental. As well as any type of rental. We typically stay at a traditional bed and breakfast. I am accustomed to more service and being fussed over a bit. However, The place is absolutely lovely. Well maintained buildings, wharf, lawn and landscaping. And even though we were on our own the host was reachable. They assisted us in a timely manner with each issue we had. My experience was a good one and I may use vrbo again. I would definitely return to Arlington Mansion if I have an opportunity to do so.
