However I am unwilling to overlook that they implied we stole a single pillow and pillow case even after we told them we would go back and help them find it. The price of the pillow and case were minimal but the whole incident has left a bad taste in my mouth. Lyn barely spoke to us while we were there but seemed pleasant enough until after we left. There were no check lists to say what should of been there, therefore we have no way of knowing I the pillow was even there when we got there. It is unethical to charge customers for something that could of been a mistake on their part.

Our stay at T Frere bed and breakfast…read more When me and my husband arrived at T'Frere's House Bed & Breakfast we were very excited to be staying at this B&B because of the history of the house. We were met a few mins after we arrived by Miss Donna she was very friendly and we quickly felt right at home. She showed us around the common areas explained door codes made us feel like we were family. We met Casey and he brought to our attention all the new art work that was acquired for the common rooms, as well as some more history of the house and the fact that soon there will be a small scale model of the house before it was remodeled hand crafted from memory i spired by a 96 year old man that grew up in the house but lives close by. We chose the Fais Do Do suit little private walk way off the courtyard but we look forward to staying in the main house next time. The house was built in 1890 and I have to say I was never hot anywhere in the house or our suit. Louisiana is hot and humid lol The courtyard is beautiful a very nice gentleman was outside hanging lights above the courtyard I can't imagine them not being there they look amazing. Be sure and check for books in the Parlor for info about the B&B history. Our suit had a mini fridge, Keurig, very nice king size towels lots of pillows and lots of plugs, Free WiFi, comfortable bed very spacious rooms, cable tv, beverages and ice are in the guest fridge in the main house. We had breakfast in the sun room at 8:30 delicious eggs, bacon, and biscuits with OJ and Coffee but breakfast changes daily. We will definitely be returning and look forward to staying in each of the rooms. The staff make this place extra special!! And the science museum is right down the road couple miles.

I spoke with someone at ten to 6 this evening in need of a last minute spot in Eunice, and made clear I would be coming from New Orleans, a three hour drive. This person was helpful, booked me for the night... and said NOTHING about being unable to check in to the inn after 8pm. When I arrived at 9:45 after driving a few hours with my pup, I called the after hours number on the door and was told nastily that they were away for the weekend-- when I explained my situation and asked why someone had booked us just hours before, I was told to "stop talking over her," that there was one person she could check with... and then she said "ya know what?" and hung up on me. A few minutes later, I got a call from another number, and a man told me he was another owner and asked how I was. When I told him not great and started explaining... I realized I was ON A THREE-WAY CALL when the woman burst on, cursed me out, and ended the call. These people are a reallll class act.

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.

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.

We have stayed here several times on trips to and from New Orleans and are welcomed like family. This home was built by French born rice and oil merchant Emile Daboval in 1892 and has been meticulously restored and furnished with antiques. Rooms are super clean (we're both clean freaks and very picky about room cleanliness) and well appointed with everything you need, including plush towels and starched sheets. Soft drinks, water, and ice are provided in a small room downstairs. Smooth chicory coffee service is quietly brought to your door each morning, followed by a delicious breakfast served downstairs in a beautiful, country chic dining room. We recently enjoyed cream cheese stuffed French toast with Louisiana strawberries, locally smoked bacon, hash brown potatoes seasoned to perfection, and freshly squeezed orange juice. On another occasion, yummy ham and cheese muffins and locally made andouille sausage were in the menu. Seriously----restaurant quality Cajun cuisine created by Martha in her kitchen! We simply cannot say enough about Maison Daboval. You won't be disappointed and will be treated like family.

I hate writing about my fave places, especially the ones off the beaten track. More people find out…read morehow incredible they are & then they become too busy! LOL This is one of my fave places to stay in Louisiana. I grew up in the area & when I want to go home, this is where I want to go kick back. This area is very very special, there is tons of great food, antique stores & historic places you can visit & the coolest place to stay is here. If you are staying for a while, rent the whole cottage. It's beautiful. If your just staying for a few days, stay in the barn. The upstairs is perfect for 2 & it has a Jacuzzi tub. The views of the lake are breathtaking from the front balcony. I LOVE that there is a separate "party barn/cook shack" here that you can cook & hang out outside & take it all in. It's not a shack by any means, it's a very cool set up, a chefs dream outdoor kitchen. Stuff that Louisiana girls LOVE. It's 100 % Louisiana style ;) There are at least 10-12 old oaks draped in moss on the property that are over 200 years old that are registered with the State. Just like a picture perfect dream, flowering shrubs that perfume the air, puppies that greet you on arrival, children playing the the background.. I've dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas: they've gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind - Emily Bronte One of the most beautiful places in the world to me. Highly highly recommend.

This place is nothing short of stunning, and truly feels like a little piece of heaven. The decorations were rustic and perfectly matched what you'd expect in a simple country home. We stayed in the barn loft, and I was pleasantly surprised when the AC was more than able to keep up with the summer heat in southern Louisiana. The breakfast was simple but good, and much better than any you'll find in a hotel. The pond was beautiful and peaceful, and there were no noises except the sounds of nature (mostly cicadas chirping). I cannot recommend this place enough, and we will most definitely be coming back for future visits.
