Experience Louisiana, Cabin on Bayou Petite Anse, centrally located in Acadiana
About this cabin rental
Located in Louisiana, this lovely cabin for $184 per night is a great option for your next break. Cabin: The Cabin is centrally located in Acadiana, which includes 22 parishes in French Louisiana in the southern part of the state. The cabin’s back balcony gives you a view of Bayou Petite Anse. You may see an alligator sunning himself or looking for prey along with a bullfrog happily jumping his way down the bayou. Iberia Parish is home to 240 species of birds. During wood duck season, you can watch the wood ducks hatching in the three boxes by the wharf. Alligators, garfish and catfish make their way down the waterway in this Louisiana paradise. The cabin has kayaks with paddles and life jackets that can be used at the boat launch on the property. The loft bedroom is decorated in a Rip Van Winkle Garden theme and is a large area that is accessed by stairs and is open to the living area. It has a king size bed and a King Coil queen air mattress that can be added if additional sleeping is needed. Rip Van Winkle Gardens is known for their peacocks walking around the grounds in all their splendor and this room is a reflection of the beauty that can be found at the Gardens. The Tabasco themed bedroom, located downstairs, has a king bed and is directly across from the bathroom. Take time to look at the prints and items that tell the story of Tabasco. End your night by reading the beautifully illustrated book “TABASCO: An Illustrated History” by Shane Bernard. There is a TV with an apple box set up. The newly renovated bathroom, located downstairs, offers you a choice of a roomy shower or a soaking tub. The kitchen has brand new appliances, new granite countertops and an open floor plan. You can cook and watch the 55” TV and if weather permits, turn on the gas fireplace to warm up the place. The laundry room has a large, full size washer and dryer. The Cabin is equipped with many cooking items from pots to baking pans, blender, mixer, omelet maker, Keurig coffee pot and more. Parking will never be an issue. There is ample space to park. This location is close to Downtown New Iberia, Abbeville, Lafayette, Broussard, St. Martinville, Breaux Bridge, Jeanerette and Franklin. Enjoy one of our many restaurants, all within a 10 mile radius or run to the meat market/grocery store five miles away and cook at the Cabin. There is just so much to see and do here! Area: Tabasco is 8 minutes drive from the cabin. Jungle Gardens, the museum, the store and restaurant are walk up. Factory tours are available. The Cabin is located on Bayou Petite Anse where you can kayak down the bayou directly from the cabin to the McIlhenny Tabasco Factory. You can drive through Jungle Gardens and view the bird sanctuary. Finish your day with a tour of the factory and eat lunch at Tabasco’s 1868 Restaurant. End your day with a visit to the Tabasco country store and make sure you try the Tabasco ice cream. This destination is six miles from the Cabin and can easily be reached by car. In the opposite direction is Rip Van Winkle Gardens. Five miles from the Cabin sits a beautiful semi-tropical garden with a tour of the Joseph Jefferson Mansion. Café Jefferson overlooks Lake Peigneur and offers tasty dishes with a southern flair. Our family favorite is Seafood Heaven. Rip’s Rookery has many species of birds, among them the Spoonbill Roseate. Jefferson Island has over 260 species of birds. It is truly a bird watchers paradise. Konrico Company Store/Conrad Rice Mill is the oldest operating rice mill in the US and only six miles from the Cabin. Tour the Rice Mill, you can taste the rice and buy it from their store on property. Try the Wild Pecan Brown Rice. It’s our family favorite! The Shadows on the Teche was built in 1834 on the banks of Bayou Teche and it is located six miles from the Cabin. The Spanish moss draped oaks and gardens are breathtaking. The Classic Revival-style home with a Louisiana Colonial floor plan has tours daily. Downtown New Iberia, located six miles from the Cabin and conveniently down the street from The Shadows on the Teche, offers many restaurants, shopping and bar options. Also located downtown is the Bayou Teche Museum, a state-of-the art museum with a permanent collection of artifacts and memorabilia from the region telling the story of a growing city, its people, culture and industry all centered around the “snake-like” curves of the Bayou Teche. It also offers a “Rodrigue Comes Home” rotating exhibit of original paintings by George Rodrigue. Visit the Paul Schexnayder Studio + Gallery and shop for paintings, ceramics, collage, wood and metal art, jewelry, prints, books and gifts from artists in the area. Three of Paul’s pieces hang in the Cabin.

It was so relaxing. As a staycation we used the time to recharge our batteries. From the time we arrived we were amazed at everything that was in the cabin. When it was time to leave we didn’t want to. Already planning on the next time. This was so well worth it. Thank you !!!!

This place far exceeded our expectations. Patti thought of everything to make our experience comfortable and enjoyable. It was such a pleasure to meet her and her husband. We so enjoyed the Annual Gumbo Festival, local restaurants with great food and music, Avery Island's Tabasco Plant tour, Jefferson Island/Rip Van Winkle Gardens and Restaurant, and, of course, Champagne's Cajun Swamp Tour. We always made sure we made time to get back to "The Cabin" to kick back enjoy the comfort and beauty of this wonderful location. Thank You, Patti. This destination was definitely a highlight of our 10,000+ mile journey around the US.

We had a wedding at the nearby rip van Winkle gardens. This was a perfect spot, just 10 minutes away. We loved hanging out by the bayou and kayaking. The place is super comfortable, everything went smoothly. The loft was not hot, and we were there during a heat wave. I would recommend this place!!

We loved it. Very peaceful. My husband fished daily. Me and my oldest kayaked. Lots of wildlife. Close to town. Lots of room for a family of 5. Patti was very nice. Came over and asked if everything was good. Even after we left she gave us some tips about New Orleans. We will be going back.

Ok, let me just say that you are going to want to stay a week! The cabin is peaceful and charming. From the home made breakfast bread, to the complimentary bubbley, to phonograph, to the yummy tub, to the setting and comfy beds- you won’t want to go home. Also there’s more to do in the area than you can imagine. Go! Stay awhile and rest. When I go to visit family- my family will be coming back again and staying longer. A delight!

An exceptional place on the bayou and Patti has added “a little something extra” with the wonderful artwork, thoughtful touches such as snacks, makeup wipes and even a record player with Cajun records. Great indoor and outdoor spaces. Wish I had a chance to use the kayaks, but we were too busy enjoying the local attractions.

From the 5 stars, you can tell we had a good time here. In fact, this part of our vacation was the overall winner for the whole family. The hosts, Patti & Mitch Reed (no relation to us) were amazingly helpful & accommodating, really beyond anything I've experienced previously in years of staying in VRBOs & similar. The cabin & property are lovely. There are lots of very thoughtful little touches that really make the stay comfortable & personal, like a well-stocked kitchen with nice quality dish & cookware (no single-pot "kitchen" here!), fun books about the area, a record player with a jazz/zydeco library, & little provided extras like coffee pods & creamer that are so often BYO. The mattresses & linens were good quality & soooo comfortable. We loved the back deck right out on the water. Be aware, the upper loft can be noisy (creaky floor) to those in the master bedroom below & there is only one bathroom (across from the master, clearly stated in the description), but for our family of four this was a non-issue. We had a wonderful time & would very much like to return to this property!

As for the cabin…picture perfect with everything and anything you could need. It’s location was amazing, quiet and peaceful without being scary secluded. Close enough to all area locations without being overrun by touristy shenanigans.
