Some guests have called our property an urban oasis. We are in an older section of Lafayette that has a blend of residential, commercial and industrial occupants. The property has fencing and landscape that makes it feel separated from other properties and activities. It feels like a private retreat for our guests. The neighborhood is not a typical suburban neighborhood.
The home is spacious, clean and comfortable, but not so fancy that you have to worry about normal family or workgroup activities. We own 2 adjacent properties and our family likes living and working in this neighborhood.

Our treehouse recreation area is actually a covered deck build with a tree in the middle! Because of elevation of the Treehouse, there are some safety precautions that you will need to monitor. No one is to climb in the tree or to sleep in the Treehouse. Children 15 and under need to be accompanied by an adult when visiting the Treehouse. There are areas marked as private that are restricted from use by guests. The person who makes the booking will need to walk the property and the Treehouse to give an orientation to the children and other guests about safety issues.
We do allow guests to bring one or two dogs and we charge an additional cleaning fee of $50. Please contact us prior to booking and give me the breed, age and weight of your dog. Dogs are not allowed on the beds or sofas. Please bring two covers for the sofa, and a dog bed. Please bring a crate if you intend to leave your dog home alone.

Had a great stay and the check in was extremely easy. Was close enough to everything and the host was very attentive and would definitely stay there again
We really enjoyed our time in the Treehouse guest house. The host was extremely responsive, very welcoming, highly recommend. The house was well situated for our needs. Also, the fact that our family in town could come over and have dinner was a huge plus. The host had all that we needed to fry up 20 chicken burgers lol. Thanks for a wonderful experience.
Easy in and out, great outdoor area with tree house. We all enjoyed!

JaNa’s group was exceptional! The are a dedicated group of women who use their dogs in helping law enforcement find bodies in rural areas. They stayed with us so that they could use our shady back yard to train to dogs with commands. The dogs and the ladies are all very special! Paz
A gem in a pretty ordinary-looking area. Pass the small industrial shops, and turn into a nice, secluded rest stop. Lots of imagination put into the structure, both inside and out. Many options to spread out and enjoy company. We gathered for a university graduation, and we’re able to have the whole gang (12 ) over to relax in the yard and deck.

This was the most adorable place I’ve ever stayed! The outdoor area, with fire pit, treehouse, lights, was nothing short of spectacular. It was perfect for our family to relax and visit! The house was clean, spacious, and had all the essentials. Communication with owner was top notch! I absolutely will rent again and again. Thank you!
A wonderful environment with lots of room. Bedrooms are welcoming and very comfortable. Outside enclosure is beautiful and fun to explore. Hosts are responsive and accommodating and helped to make the experience delightful. Thanks! We’ll be back!

We loved hosting Diane group and hope they return to visit us at The Treehouse Guesthouse!
We really enjoyed the uniqueness of this property. From the large, fun treehouse and disc golf cage, to the eclectic touches in the house, this property is fun and cozy. We stayed on property for 4 weeks and it really felt like home away from home. The property owners are nearby and very responsive to request or questions. It is also conveniently located to many areas of the Lafayette. A jewel of an experience!!

Connie and Chris and their three dogs were delightful guests! They radiated their love of life to our home and our staff. We were so happy they choose to stay with us while their new home was being completed.
What a great place to stay. My husband myself and our two teenage daughters a long with our friends and their two young children came from Canada to Louisiana for a week and this place was exactly what we were looking for. The yard is all fenced in with lots of privacy and backyard games to play, super cute at night with all the lights in the yard on . The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed the house it has a nice cozy feel and had plenty of room to accommodate our 2 family’s . Thanks so much for having us stay in your home :)

reserved 3 rooms and only two were available as there were other guest staying there aswell
Booked for two weeks, stayed 3 days, asked for a refund but that was unavailable
John A.
Stayed 12 nights in Sep 2020
Response from VrboOwner on 3 Dec 2020
John stayed with us for two months while he worked in south Louisiana following the two hurricanes. He stayed at both the Treehouse Guesthouse and the Birdhouse guesthouse. At one point, he cancelled the Treehouse Reservation in order to move to the Birdhouse so that he could have an un-interrupted stay because other guests were scheduled to occupy the Treehouse for 4 days. VRBO sent him a refund of $507. I audited his payments and confirmed that his payments were accurate. I believe he wrote this review before he saw the reconciliation record. At no time were there other guests in the guesthouse during his reservation period. He wanted to extend his stay for one final night, but other guests were scheduled to arrive and I could not accommodate him for a final night that he wanted. He was a great guest, and I recognize that he worked very hard during his time in Lafayette.
First the good: The house has been remodel and overall feels modern. Tankless water heater provided enough hot water for all to shower. Communications with host was prompt. Tons of seating areas around the property. Loved that all the rooms had ceiling fans.
The bad: Even though the treehouse was the reason I rented this unit, was very uncomfortable with the children up there. There are several areas where safety was a big risk; screens were not secured or popped out completely, missing rail replaced with a loose strap, areas needing more rails to prevent falls. Needs much work in order to comply with any safety inspection, if there is such a thing with VRBO. Also, too many personal items (ladder, old wood, saw blade, etc) were scattered throughout the property outdoors, giving it a shabby look.

Ida, thanks for giving us a detailed review of your visit to The Treehouse Guesthouse. First---thanks for the compliments related to the comfort and amenities of our home. We also really appreciate your detailed description of items needing attention in the Treehouse.
We have just completed seasonal repairs in the Treehouse. Our spring/summer maintenance was completed at the end of May so you came just prior to the scheduled time. My staff has completed safety upgrades and repairs and we have replanted spring/ summer gardens and replaced hammocks, etc
Our house rules require that adults do a walk through of the area when they first arrive to let us know if they see anything that we need to tend to right away. I wish you would have called us with your concerns, because, as you noted, we are premier hosts and we are prompt to respond.
Of course, as noted in our house rules, children are not allowed to go up to the Treehouse without an accompanying adult. Supervision is needed! Iris a perfect place for adults and children to escape together to play games, tell stories, have a picnic, read, etc. it is not set up for active play .
Thanks for communicating with us about the things you liked and your safety concerns. We all need to team up to keep travel fun and safe! Thanks again. Paz Raaz
The treehouse guesthouse was perfect for our family. The outdoor space was awesome, we spent most of our time in the treehouse due to the weather raining almost the entire time but we made the best out it. We never felt crowded in the house or the bathrooms. We plan to stay here again next time we come to town.
This is a fun place! The backyard hangout was the highlight for us. We had fun with the disc golf basket and treehouse. Had everything we needed for amenities for our group of 8. There was a minor issue with the heat that the host addressed immediately.
The only issue was that the oven makes the whole place smell like gas when using it. They said it was normal, but it most definitely is not. We also would have preferred to only have to communicate with the host vs the host, her son, and the HVAC tech. Not a big deal, but the preference would have been to just let ourselves in and have one point of contact.
This treehouse property was perfect for our group of 10. We were worried about neighbors, but this place was so secluded that we didn’t have to worry. Everyone had a fantastic time. Definitely will stay here again.

We loved having Choumsy and her group visit us in Lafayette for their Vaca away from the cold climate. They are welcome to return again.
actually, felt like we were on a vacation not just someone's home. the home has bed bath on one side and 2 bedrooms /bath on the other side separated by the common area. gave my husband and I privacy. The outdoor space is amazing, very relaxing spent a lot of time out there. Will definitely rreschedule next time we are in Lafayette.
