Arrived to homemade pecan fudge, which was fabulous. The home was spotless, set in a quiet beautiful neighborhood. There is a lift for luggage or if a person is handicapped, so if you have limited mobility or a wheelchair, this home is perfect for you as well. We enjoyed sitting on front porch to watch neighborhood or sitting on the back porch watching the chickens and horses. There was always a refreshing breeze. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and pots. Just bring what you wish to eat. There is a charcoal grill on back deck. The host are lovely people. As for sights to see, try Jefferson island, not Avery. The cafe on Jefferson is much better as well as the gardens.
Beautiful property with country like surroundings with horses, chickens, calves, dogs and cats, maybe more but that is all I saw. Darren and Jill were amazing and went above and beyond. The breaker had tripped on the hot water heater before we got there and when I messaged them that the water wasn't hot they immediately came over to fix it. They also checked in with us to make sure it was still working. They left us some special gifts for our anniversary we well. Highly recommend their home.
We had a great time at this property. The property owners were friendly & helped us find good places to eat. The property was clean & had everything we needed to feel right at home. My favorite thing was sitting on both the front & back porch drinking my coffee & listening & watching all the birds & relaxing.
We headed this way to your Avery Island and could not have found a more appropriate place to get the true feeling of this area. Our hosts were so helpful and kind. This stay was crucial to the overall amazing experience we had. I will be telling everyone to stay here.
The property? Beautiful! Communication with the owner? Super easy with fast responses (Jill, put the phone down and take a breath, woman! :) Easy to find, it looks exactly like the pictures, the beds are comfy, the couch is comfy, I honestly would be happy to have stayed there for the rest of my life and not even leave again.
Thereâs plenty to do in the area, but you can happily leave the busy area and justâŠchill on the porch and watch the wildlifeâŠand the not so wildlife. I was cooking in the (very well stocked) kitchen and got to watch a horse yelling âI RUN!!!â as Darren trained (? I guess, I know nothing about horses and the circle paddock thingy) him (her?) I got to sit on the deck early in the morning and listen to dueling roosters (but I could go inside and shut the door and no longer hear them lol). I got to play with tiny frogs and tiny green lizards that had attached themselves to the wall on the deck. I had plenty of visits from Maybelle and Jingles on the deck and gave them plenty of pets and scritches. I did not give Maybelle or Jingles any of the delicious brownies that Jill graciously baked for us.
There are not enough stars to give this place, so I grant them ALL THE STARS and Neptune and Pluto!
Jill and Darren were great hosts. There were fresh flowers, chocolate chip cookies and sweet tea waiting for us upon our arrival. Inside was clean and comfortable. Highly recommend if making a trip to Southern Louisiana.
I canât overemphasize how great this property works for our visits to New Iberia!
Peaceful and close to everything.
On top of that, the hosts are wonderful. I canât say enough on the hospitality and thoughtfulness of Jill and Darren. They are top notch!
We were greeted with a fresh batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies and 2 vases of freshly picked flowers from the property. The property was very cleaned, well stocked and decorated cute. It is located very close to EVERYTHING and we definitely stay here again if ever we come back. We had a small issue with the wi-fi. The owner lives on the property and the issue was immediately taken care of. GREAT stay!! â€ïž
My family and I stayed here for a wedding at Rip Van Winkle. It was very clean and has lots of outdoor seating. Jill came out and showed my daughter her animals and even let her give them snacks. Great place and great hosts!
The House was perfect, very comfortable, quiet and really cute. Was close to everywhwere, we wanted to go. Sweet tea in the fridge and homemade turtles on the cabinet was a sweet jester. Was perfect for us would defstay again and highly recommend it to anyone.
