Cozy Country Cottage with Pool
This family is the nicest, most hospitable family I have ever booked with! If we had any questions/concerns they always promptly answered them. Kim even brought cookies to the kids and you would have thought Santa came🤣! Couldn’t have had better hosts!

On the Lake @Juban Crossing, 4BR/2.5 BA
House was beautiful and looked just like the photos. Loved the back deck on the water even when it rained it was nice just sitting and watching. Just wish we were there more than we were to enjoy the house and deck fully. Would definitely stay again if we are this way.

Down Da Bayou Lodge! Near Tabasco & Rip Van Winkle
Great place. We were looking forward to a great get-a-way (with neighbors we knew) and it was GREAT!!!! The men had a boat, went to the Lake, fished, crabbed and enjoyed the area. The house was comfortable and well done. We had the neighbors over for lunch on Monday and he supplied us with additional crabs Monday night. Would not hesitate to go back next year, God willing. I'm extremely grateful for people like Jeremy and Stephanie for allowing others to share their beautiful homes.

Enjoy Lake Bruin at The Salty Dog
Thank you Madeline. We had a lovely time as usual. Always love the view of the lake. We are looking forward to next time.

The River Retreat
Beautiful home! So peaceful! Just what me and my boyfriend needed. Looking forward to renting this home again in the future.

Bayou Life Lodging, Charter Fishing, Ecotourism...
We really enjoyed our stay at Bayou Life. The outdoor space was picturesque, relaxing and spacious. Inside the kitchen was well equipped, the bed was comfortable and we had everything we needed. Any time we had a question, Morgan replied quickly. He gave several great local recommendations. We would definitely stay here again

Tropical OASIS Getaway with a Private Pool & Spa
Comfortable and perfectly located in a great area! We had everything we needed for a family vacation. The pool and spa worked great and we just took one morning to swim, relax, and visit with each other in that awesome tropical backyard. We had a car so we didn’t need transportation but we did walk to the streetcar one day, plus it would be easy to Uber/Lyft from Gary’s place to the popular locations in New Orleans. We didn’t cook, because, frankly, why would you in food paradise when the local restaurants do it so well, but the kitchen was well stocked should you want to cook. We had fun using the game table, TVs, and sound system. Everything was a hit with our kids who were with us to celebrate their recent college graduations. We would stay here again for any occasion but the end of May was the perfect time for warm weather AND the end of crawfish season which we were thrilled to miss. Thanks, Gary!

Elegant 3 Bedroom home with pool
Large home with nice backyard and pool. Easy to reach host when needed.

The Yellow Cottage on the River (w/ Dock Access!)
The place was wonderful. There was a dock my husband could fish from. It is right on water. House was super clean. Bed and furniture comfortable. Very quiet neighbor. Host responded right away. We will go back for sure. Thank you Donna and Steve

The Ponderosa, an Authentic Family Cottage
My family and I had a wonderful time! My older 2 kids loved fishing in the pond and my youngest loved all the toys they had for her in the house. It was very kid friendly! We will definitely be back!

Cajun Cottage #1 | PERFECT FOR LONGTERM STAYS
It’s a great home for whatever your situation is , if you want to stay an relax it has everything . If you want to do something is close to everything . The store and restaurants were 10 minutes away . It’s close to the highway so everything was very accessible .

Nana's Cottage
Always a great stay!!

Private Lake Cottage in Historic Old Mandeville
We loved our stay at Mike and Carol’s from the moment we arrived—Our kids shouted everything that was cool about the house. From the peaceful porch swing and sitting area, to the ARCADE console in the kids’ room, to the MASSAGE CHAIR in the primary room, we hardly wanted to leave. We booked the home for its proximity to the beach front and Old Mandeville (where my uncle lives), and it did not disappoint on location. This was the perfect place to stay as a family, and we hope it is available every year we visit. Mike and Carol were great hosts and made it truly feel like home away from home.

Langhorn Farm Guest House
Absolutely peaceful what a spot to go relax in

The Blue Heron on False River
Perfect place for a weekend trip. Home was very clean and well stocked. Large deck was great for enjoying False River! Host was very accommodating and communicative.

OPEN & OPERATIONAL POOLHOUSE in the HEART of HOUMA
This is one of the best places I have ever stayed at. Pool is beautiful. The bed will let you just sink in it and get the best sleep you have ever had. I will definitely be coming back to stay

Jack's Anglers Hideaway
David is an outstanding host, and the fishing cabin is on an amazing property that allows for seclusion and privacy if you want to relax when not casting a line. As a host, David often checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed and would even sit with us and offer fishing tips, which helped me as a new angler. Overall, Toledo Bend is an outstanding lake with surprisingly low boat traffic and several available guides for both crappie and bass, and I would not hesitate to recommend staying with David at Jack's Anglers Hideaway.

The Elephant Room in Downtown Ruston
Best place in Ruston! Walkable to tech’s campus.

The Carriage Cottage
I had a great stay at Luke’s carriage house apartment. It was conveniently located in town, and easy to find. It was close to everything that I needed to get to. The home looked just like the photos, and was extremely clean and well taken care or. The host was very responsive to questions and in providing information. I will definitely book again next time I travel to the area.

Pink Room in Historic Lower Garden District
My husband and I absolutely loved our stay! We could not get over how stunning the space was! The room was so incredibly beautiful, airy, and cozy. It smelled so clean and fresh, and the bed was very comfortable. The neighborhood is extremely walkable and the location is central/a convenient drive to other notable stops in the city. Lots of cute coffee shops, bars, restaurants, and retail stores around the corner on Magazine Street. It’s the perfect spot for a quintessential New Orleans getaway! We would love to stay here again sometime. A magical place in a magical city!!!

Natural Beautiful Home -15 Mins to French Quarter!
Stayed here as we were passing through the state and looking for a quick but potent New Orleans experience. Adam’s home was the perfect combination of comfortable amount of space for three people, a location with plenty of options for food and entertainment, within walking distance or a short drive, and relaxation with a relatively quiet neighborhood feel. We felt safe and the parking was available right out the front door which were big pluses for us. The home was well stocked and the communication with the hosts was the cherry on top. Exceptional!

The Hideaway
This spot is a hidden gem.. literally. it's located on the side of the house near a fence with a lighted pathway. It's in the same building as another Airbnb that we stayed at prior to this one, and also loved. Even though they're near, it feels very private. The bed is comfortable, the tub is nice and deep and long enough to stretch all the way out in, the recliner is comfy to relax and watch movies on the TV, and it is equipped with a washer and dryer. That was super convenient, as we were in town for work. Our host was friendly, helpful, and responsive! 5☆ We would definitely stay here again.

Irish Channel Apartment off Magazine Street
We loved Tim’s place! I work in New Orleans often, and this is one of the most convenient and comfortable homes I’ve Airbnb’d. Tim was helpful and responsive and it’s clear that he puts a ton of work into making folks feel welcome in the crescent city.

Prime Location – Walk to Jazz Fest!
Leah was a great host! She was so responsive and helpful and the house was super cute!
Your guide to Louisiana
All About Louisiana
Louisiana is an ecologically diverse southeastern state with populated marshy wetland coasts lying in the warm Gulf waters and a rural northern expanse that hosts sprawling eastern red-cedar woodlands. However, the diversity of Louisiana extends beyond its ecologies and natural areas; French, African, Indigenous, and Canadian cultures are reflected in the state's distinct Creole and Cajun traditions. The city of New Orleans is particularly exemplative of the influences of these traditions when it comes to its world-renowned Mardi Gras celebrations and distinctive brand of jazz.
Louisiana has developed a unique culinary tradition born out of a mixture of the area's local food sources and eclectic cultural intermingling, with dishes based on seafood, French cooking, and African spices. Boiled crawfish, gumbo, and jambalaya can be found and enjoyed in high-end restaurants in Lafayette's vibrant downtown, cafes in the university town of Baton Rouge, and rural kitchens alike throughout the state.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Louisiana
As an expansive state that stretches from warm coastal gulf waters to upland forests and savannas, Louisiana experiences a wide range of seasonal variations unique to each sub-region. In general, though, the state experiences relatively stable high humidities throughout the year, with temperature swings characterizing most seasonal differences. The summers tend to be hot and humid, particularly in the coastal areas, while the winter months see temperatures drop to levels that may require a light coat and a few layers to keep warm.
The spring is an excellent time to look for cabin rentals in Louisiana as the weather is mild and the often muggy summer conditions have yet to hit. There are more than 400 festivals that occur throughout the year in Louisiana, including Mardi Gras, with spring trending as the busy season for the food and music-centered events.
Top things to do in Louisiana
New Orleans French Quarter
One of the most famous neighborhoods in the entire country, the French Quarter in New Orleans is renowned for its stunning Creole and Greek Revival architecture characterized by wrap-around wrought-iron balconies and colorful stucco exteriors. But, beyond the enchanting aesthetic, the area attracts visitors with its live music and smells of sweet fried beignets that drift down the streets.
Old State Capitol
The Old Louisiana State Capitol in Baton Rouge, commonly known as the State House, is the former home of the 19th century Louisiana state legislature and is now a museum. The building’s Gothic Revival architecture is striking from the outside with dramatic white towers and a stark presence. Inside are winding staircases and a rainbow array of stained glass that make up the statehouse dome, casting colorful bands of light throughout the building.
Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve
Named after a 19th-century pirate, this historical preserve is dedicated to preserving the unique ecologies and creole cultures found in the Mississippi River Delta region. Several cultural and visitor centers scattered about the area highlight the notable French Cajun people who have called this area home for generations. At the same time, bayous and swamp ecologies form a maze of wilderness areas ripe for exploration on footpaths and airboats alike. Snakes, turtles, birds, and alligators can be seen swimming alongside kayaks and riverboats in this meandering river delta preserve.
