We came down to Lafayette for a baseball tournament and this house looked perfect for the 5 of us. Needless to say it was amazing and a comfortable stay. Tyler was very attentive to any questions I had and friendly. The neighborhood was clean and nice. The house itself was just gorgeous.

A great experience!
Four of us in from TN & TX tho we are from Lafayette. The Blue House was a delight! Charming. Cozy. Very clean. Creative decor. Comfy beds. Perfect location. Peaceful (UL on Christmas break.) Quiet time on the porch swing to the lullaby of the train in the distance—we love this home and will be back!

I just love this town. This place is so well equipped, decorated so artistically, and so comfortable for our group of 6 that it was a pleasure to retreat to and wake up in over several days of adventure. The host was very accommodating when we had a change of plans just a month or so before beginning the stay, and everything went so smoothly with the process. I highly recommend it, at the risk of it not being available next time we come!!
Beautiful redone home, very stylish and comfortable. Lots of space and good value. Host was responsive and friendly. Would definitely be our first choice when we return to the area for family visits. Thank you!

Far better than expected
We arrived after having completed 12days touring .
The house is far bigger than the listing portrayed. Everything in it is quality
Cant speak highly enough of the Blue house , from its location to cutlery
Simply the best.
One thing we would have found useful , a housebook with information relating to the house , and general area. That aside first rate thanks.

Great Rental
Great stay for a “girls” trip. We had everything needed…three roomy bedrooms with comfortable beds, nice kitchen, beautiful bathrooms, good location, many restaurants close by within a few minutes. Would make one suggestion…hand rail on the back steps…it rained for two days while we were there and the steps were a little slippery. All in all would highly recommend.

Beautiful house & great location
In town for graduation and spent 2 days at the Blue House. Great neighborhood and close to campus. PLENTY of parking. Comfy beds, clean home and picture perfect decor.
Back room did have some night brightness issues...when the neighbors came home the security light switched on for about 5m. For the 2nd night we used sleep masks and it was all good. Also, back bathroom may benefit from handrails to assist with getting in & out of tub. Other than that no problems. Highly recommend.
