09/2024 added 2 sit in kayaks for float/pickup downstream for 1, 2, 4 hr trips

91/2024

Recently purchased (2) sit in, closed bow kayaks - as well as (2) youth "sit on top" or "kid" sized kayaks are also available for floating downstream
during the day AND without having to rent the B&B space. You can start or launch from our dock on the river OR we can take you upstream to park #1 (of 7 parks that you can stop along the way or at the numbered park we agree to meet) for pickup and return to the B&B.
NOW available for RENT with prices for either: day, night, weekend or for your entire vacation stay. We also have a few fishing poles available AND some really big night crawlers (aka worms) for bait in the worm bed next to the pool equipment and is included with the rental should you choose to stay overnight. WE can also do an all inclusive rental package, so call or text for questions related to those prices.

HOWEVER, and provided that you can SHOW proof of VALID/CURRENT LOUISIANA fishing license for ANY and/or ALL who plan to fish OR even hold a fishing pole or related fishing equipment! OUR local Game Warden (who you will see & he will probably stop & check during your stay if he observes anyone with a fishing pole or related equipment so be sure to have licenses on hand) OUR Game Warden is cool, but tough when it comes to being LEGAL in all aspects of fishing, boating, etc here on the river and will GLADLY issue tickets if YOU are not licensed properly. One day fishing licenses for sale at any Walmart, sporting or fishing store means our Game Warden here on the river WILL stop and ask to see that license or certification, even if just at our dock. So don't pick up or touch a fishing pole if you don't have a current fishing license and you are good go.

SO on that note and as ALWAYS, we look forward to "hosting" you and your guest(s) during your vacation stay here on the vermilion river!

May God, Jesus, Allah, Vishnu & Yahweh all combined bless you and your loved ones during your travels to and fro, even more blessed when traveling to and fro from our house!

We'll see ya'll soon, oh and we'll leave the lights on for ya!

Respectfully your host(s) on da riva,

Rob & Great Uncle Charlie (99 years young and still driving a Lincoln- ha! Top that Matthew!)

note:

HOME IS ALL TO YOURSELVES...

...only place off limits is the maintenance/tool/pool chemical storage room just behind the sunroom's custom designed & actual Cypress "tree" bar. Also the RECORDING STUDIO, due to the "don't touch" audio & musical instruments, equipment, etc....

existing description below:

Steel beam constructed in 1953 riverfront historic music & audio recording studio. See where Tommy McClain, Charlie Pride, Kelly Keeling and Hart Fortenbery from "Deep South Paranormal Encounters" and many more musical artists practiced and even wrote their lyrics. Private 2 bedroom getaway with "guest only keyed" access to the attached apartment. Located on the Vermilion River and perfect for fishing all day and night if it suits your stay, just have your current fishing license and we've got a juicy, fat worm bed onsite. The attached apartment consists of 2 rooms, 1 key lock master bedroom and the queen bedroom which has direct access to the driveway. Also, both rooms have equal access to the lockable B&B bathroom as well as access to the main house through the lockable main house bathroom door. The riverfront home is about 5 minutes from the Lafayette Regional Airport and to save you the car rental we can come get you & take ya back for your return flight.

Need a lift to the local grocery store, gas station, atm or dropped off downtown for a night out--no problem we got ya covered! Stay for the week or weekend and be sure to enjoy your music from the bluetooth speakers by the pool OR just hang out in the peace & quiet sounds of our "bird watching" backyard.

Located just minutes from downtown and about 2 minutes from Lafayette Regional Hospital. The house is very spacious, super peaceful, and situated on a cul-de-sac type road - so no street traffic only neighbors. All pets are welcome of course, just let us know if your "pet" is friendly otherwise we can easily keep our 5 dogs locked out during your stay.

Of course, you have access to a very large fenced backyard, tree swing overlooking the pool and an (2) outdoor fire pits with seating all around. Our dock can be used to secure any motorized boat, kayaks, canoes, etc for easy river access or just plain ole fishing off of it. If you need anything just ask and we will get you taken care of.

Welcome, to our place and enjoy your stay!

Outstanding Customer Service
Our stay was fantastic. Both hosts were on top of any requests or information we requested. Property owner was welcoming and friendly and went above and beyond for us. Breakfast was scrumptious, with a fabulous homemade gravy. Yum. The kayak trip was perfect and we were able to launch and return to the B&B, although hosts offer drop off and pick up at numerous stops along the river. We definitely will stay again.

This was our first time using this app but they made it so easy for us, we even got there late but he still gave us a lovely tour & was literally there if we needed anything including getting locked out at 3 in the morning but they never complained..even with their home being on the other side of the house it was very private & peaceful.The dogs are even trained to be excellent hosts & help you out when needed..we’re definitely returning 😁

WONDERFUL B&B ! WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK!
THIS WAS SUCH A GREAT PLACE TO STAY! THE KIDS HAD SO MUCH FUN! THE OWNER MR. CHARLIE AND HIS NEPHEW ROBERT WERE WONDERFUL HOST AS WELL AS THEIR TWO DOGS BB AND MUFFIN. THERE WAS PLENTY OF SPACE FOR MY GROUP AND THE BACK YARD AREA WAS PERFECT FOR OUTSIDE COOKING AND HANGING OUT BY THE POOL, THERE'S EVEN A LITTLE DECK ON THE RIVER FOR FISHING. THERE WERE A FEW AFTERNOON SHOWERS DURING OUR STAY BUT THAT DIDN'T STOP OUR FUN AT ALL WITH THE CLOSED IN PATIO! WE WILL DEFINITELY BE STAYING AGAIN!

Had to find other accommodations
There was no stay. Every concern/anxiety a person has about using a service like vrbo happened at this property. The lock code did not work, the pool was empty, the AC was broken, the place was a wreck and they were not even expecting us. I made the reservation 6.5 weeks before our arrival date. During that entire period the owner did not communicate with me that the property may be going through some construction to the unit. When I arrived there was no way I could have stayed there. I sent a text communication to the owner two days ago and have not had a response. Hopefully I do not have to go through vrbo to get my money back. This experience will GREATLY influence my decision on IF I ever use a short term rental again. And absolute sh!t show.

Brady Bunch House Letdown
Confirmed reservations and received codes for entry the night before reservation. Friend drove 800 miles, we go to check in around 5:30 pm tho check in is at 3 p. We believed we had the whole house, tho we pulled up to two old cars parked in the middle of the drive, we see people looking out the window at us, we go to use the code provided for the side door per pictures & there were two code boxes. It was starting to rain and we tried the code on both keypads. Neither allowed us access. We thought we'd go knock on the front door where we saw someone, but I also tried calling the number provided in our instructions and the number was a non working number. So I messaged the owner thru Vrbo. No response and with that decided if this person saw us. Knows we tried to get in and couldn't then why would they be honest enough to open the door. We noticed a window air conditioner hanging out a window & the neighbors houses were all mansions and well kept. This looked like the Brady Bunch house and likely the neighborhood eye sore. To stay out of the rain we got back in the car and finally the owner responded thru Vrbo that he misunderstood our reservation to be that day and the house wasn't ready. (We had gotten confirmation the day before and it was two hours after check in). The owner said the pool had just been shocked bc of algae and if we could just go elsewhere for the night and they'd give me a discount for the day. I want a FULL REFUND NOW!

Nice Owner, Not as Depicted
The property was in a great neighborhood and booking was very convenient. However, upon our arrival the house was under construction and not complete. We got with the property manager and we got a refund. We did not wind up staying due to no air conditioning and water heater not working. The owner was working on getting this fixed.

Welcoming and Pleasant Stay in Lafayette
Perfect for the 10 days we needed a "home away from home" for my daughter's recuperation from surgery. As we live out of town, we needed a home base and Mr Charlie's place certainly fit the bill. Close to everything we needed, plus a very quiet, comfortable spot to relax. Excellent communication with the host and always available for questions, suggestions, etc. Lovely back yard and a sparkling pool for our use! Would recommend and also rebook in this location! Thank you, Rob and Mr Charlie for a peaceful and restful stay!

We had a great Weekend!!!
I had my husbands 40th Bday Bash the Saturday of our stay. My husband,l,our 2 puppies,and all our guess really enjoyed our time at the house. The house and property was very clean the pool was lovely and we all enjoyed the fishing area in the back. The property owners were very nice and laid back. There house is a ultimate chill spot. It's 2 days later and all our guess are still talking about the party and how much fun we all had. I will definitely be renting this house again. And a few of my guess said they also will be renting it in the future. Tks for a great Weekend!!!

I specially asked if the back with the pool would of been ready for that weekend for a party which I was told I could of have parties there.

Great uncle. Charlie and his nephew Rob were great hosts. Cajun hospitality in true form. The master bedroom is huge, comfortable and very peaceful. The back yard is very tranquil especially at night and is a lovely place to unwind by the river. I enjoyed my stay very much and hope to stay there again soon. Sincerely with thanks.
