I cannot say enough good about this experience, it was so much fun! I wouldn't even call it a tour, it's a total experience. If you like or are interested in crawfish, this is a must do trip! We took our son to New Orleans for spring break, and he had one thing on his mind. Crawfish. He wanted to learn about them, see where they lived, catch them, and eat them! We did our homework and there were a few different options, but Crawfish Haven really caught our eye. After deciding on Crawfish Haven, we then realized it was 2.5 hours from our hotel. I was on the fence about going, but my son really wanted to. So, I sucked it up, got a ride for us, and boy am I glad that we did! (Side note, if you need a ride SMB Transportation was awesome.) Upon arriving we met Barry. He is an absolute gem. He was informative, fun, easy going, and knows his mud bugs! He gave us a lesson on crawfish and a history of the property and then we hopped in the boat and got ready to harvest! He showed us how to work the traps and we emptied 50 traps and caught over 30 pounds! It was the highlight of our vacation! As our crawfish were cooking, he gave us a neat tour of the property. He really has a great sense of respect and history for the land he is on. And last but not least, we ate! He gave us as much as we could fit in our bellies and it was THE BEST, most fresh crawfish I have ever had! Again, this was the coolest part of our entire vacation. I highly recommend making time for this excursion. You won't be disappointed. read more

Crawfish Haven/Mrs Rose's Bed and Breakfast - My son! Ready to work the traps! - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Kaplan, Louisiana

This was a wonderful stop for our cross country trip. We got to learn about south Louisiana and the crawfish industry. The owner, Barry, is very personable and full of information and history. He had a beautifully restored clapboard home on a large piece of property. We came to Crawfish Haven just to spend the night on our way to New Orleans. We didn't realize that if you want Barry will take his guests out to harvest crawfish. He also has grounds for group celebrations and events. We enjoyed our time with Barry and another couple staying there from Austria. In the morning before we left, we had a wonderful crawfish omelette, boudin, potatoes and biscuit. This experience will be a highlight of our trip. I definitely recommend Crawfish Haven to anyone looking for a B&B that is historic and out of the oridinary. read more

This little slice of heaven is a great place to have a group function. Mr Barry cooked us an amazing gumbo with all the trimmings for supper. The crawfish omelets and boudin egg rolls hit the spot for breakfast after a fun filled night. Great night with friends! read more
