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.

There are so many details that make this place great. Antique fixtures on the barn, an old country store, an old Ford pickup--the details are never ending. Cicadas and crickets buzz through the forest, adding to the relaxation of a morning cup of coffee on the porch swing. Felicia is an amazing cook! I so appreciated that she made delicious, local dishes. We also had our 1 year old son with us and she went above and beyond to make sure he had what he needed. Our stay at Le Village was short, but it was magical. After spending the summer in Dallas, the lush Louisiana landscape was a great escape. If you're looking for tranquility, stay here. If you are looking for culture, stay here. Southern hospitality is abundant at Le Village!

I cannot say enough good about this experience, it was so much fun! I wouldn't even call it a…read moretour, 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.

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.

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.

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.

Need a wedding venue in Lafayette? This is a great place…read more Before we get into the review I have a few disclaimers. I have no idea how much this venue costs or how easy they are to work with. I am sure they are lovely. I am writing this review as someone who performed a wedding ceremony here, drank some wine, and ate some food. With that in mind, we are gathered here today to write this review. The Truss Room is named after the large trussed roof. At least that is what I guessed based on the name and the view of the roof. It is one large room that had the venue/reception area on one side and the bar/food area on the other. The wedding had around 150 guests (I am guessing). There was ample food and drinks for everyone. As an officiant, the acoustics were great but I am a loud dude so if you are a whisperer, get you a microphone. The food was very good and people seemed happy. The wine was also good and people seemed to enjoy it. PS. I wonder if Yelp will allow me to add Reverand to my name.
