This tour was one of the highlights of our Southern road trip through 7 states. Swamp Tours of Arcadiana represents an incredible value, especially if you are traveling as a family. For the same price as one of the large tourist boats, we received a private tour, tailored just for our family. Lake Martin is gorgeous, especially at twilight and we saw no other tourists the entire time, only locals. We felt like much more than a simple swamp tour, we really experienced nature and learned much about local culture. Booking with Ashley was easy, she was very flexible concerning dates and times. I would recommend contacting her by facebook messenger, we got a quick response that way. Ashley gave us precise directions to our alternate meeting point, since the regular boat launch was closed due to covid. We had no problems finding the place and our car was parked safely off the road. Bryce, Ashley's husband, met us on time. Bryce is so friendly, he made us feel welcome and comfortable right away. His boat is small but feels indestructible. We felt safe with him the entire time. Our tour lasted for more than 2 hours and took us all around Lake Martin, through the swamp and past fields of water lilies. We learned so much about the local plants and animals and saw many beautiful birds and lots of alligators. Including an 8 foot alligator that surfaced right next to our boat! Bryce has lived in the area his whole life and knows all of the fascinating corners of the lake. So many great photo opportunities! Besides birds and alligators, we saw fish rise out of the water, drove into a duck blind and experienced the largest spider webs imaginable. We experienced the most beautiful sunset. Bryce also told us many stories about living in Southern Louisiana and we came away from the experience feeling like we had made a friend. We also learned that you can eat just about everything that you see! He had a great way of relating to our teenage daughters and even introduced them to some of the local teenage boys that we came across fishing on the lake. We just had so much fun! Again, I can't recommend this tour enough, you will love it!

Highly recommend this tour for anybody who wants to see and learn a lot! Bruce was an amazing guide…read moreand makes the tour interesting with constant facts and jokes. You will get to see a lot of alligators and get a glimpse of the peacefulness in the lake.

Stayed here late November 2018 for a one night stay while en route to Texas. I usually stay within…read morethe block of hotels close to the interstate, yet gave the Chateau a try due to sheer intrigue. Upon check in, I was surprised by the lack of foot traffic. I felt as if I was the only one within the hotel due to how quiet it was. I found out later by the GM in the morning that this aspect, (as well as previous negative reviews on social media sites) was due to the HVAC malfunctioning during the summer heat. No A/C during a Louisiana summer= not a good time. Certainly an unfortunate circumstance, to say the least. Now, back to my stay. The hotel itself feels to be newly renovated, and with French-themed decor that echoed Louisiana heritage. The room was spacious enough for me to not feel cramped or confined- certainly a true room suite that didn't skimp on space. I was in close proximity to the fitness center and outdoor pool area, the former that I can only describe as being pretty basic with a treadmill + a few free weights. And yes, there were no issues with the HVAC ventilation within my room (heating this time). Breakfast was served by the GM. He gave me a choice of shrimp & grits, waffles, cereal, and etc. Since this was a slow time of week due to being just after Thanksgiving, I felt that the GM serving guests breakfast was unusual due to possible staffing constraints. However, this aspect of customer service was well appreciated due to understanding the hotel + local area of Lafayette a little better. My only negative aspect of the hotel may be in its location. Its really a double-edged sword- a benefit that a good proportion of restaurants & shopping is within 1-3 miles away, yet a slight disadvantage in the morning due to heavy traffic that makes a left turn extremely difficult. It you can avoid the morning traffic (like anywhere else), you'll be fine. If not, its best advised to be patient. Overall, I would stay at this property again. Given the level of comfort and hospitality that I was provided, I would say that this property is underrated, and waiting to he discovered by more patrons that may share a similar perspective.

No pancakes, no waffles, just fruit and warmed-up dishes. I'll save the money next time and go up the street for a real breakfast.
