AMAZING, WONDERFUL, VERY CLEAN AND COZY!!!! We had 7 adults and was very comfortable with the accommodations. I travel often and usually need to buy items because the host didn't provide the basics. However, you will not need to do that here...EVERYTHING IS HERE, just look for it. Communication was very easy and fast. The location was great and we felt very safe. We will DEFINITELY stay here again. Thanks for letting us stay in your beautiful home.

Great stay!

My friends and I very much enjoyed our stay here. The hosts were very friendly, accommodating, and easy to communicate with. This Vrbo was walking distance from some Lake Charles staples (Mazen's, and Darrell's), and a quick 5 minute drive to the casinos. Would definitely book here again for future trips.

Amazing

We were so impressed with the house. It was accessible for our adult son that is a wheelchair user. Lots of space for him to get around and the doors were wide for him to get in and out of all rooms. Very clean and comfortable.

Home away from home :)

First, this home is so cozy, comfortable and location were top tier!! You truly feel like you are home. My husband and I are from the area (left after Rita) and this home was so conveniently located where my family members could come and enjoy the huge outdoor space this home offers. I give Penny and her home 5 plus stars. We will definitely be re-booking this place!!

About the host

Hosted by Penny Seneca

Host profile image
My husband & I are both in our 50's. He is an attorney here in Lake Charles at a local firm. I work part-time for him. We have a 24 year old daughter. My husband is a native Louisianian, born and raised on the bayou below Baton Rouge. He moved to Lake Charles after graduating law school. I am originally from California, but have lived in Lake Charles since I was in high school. We are big LSU fans! Geaux Tigers! We also love the Houston Astros! We live about 20-30 minutes north of Lake Charles on a farm. I have goats, donkeys, cats, dogs and rabbits.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this house about 20 years ago and it served as my husband's law office until he recently joined a firm. We love the property and the location so we decided to keep it and turn it back into a house, use it when we want to stay in Lake Charles and the rent it as a bed and breakfast the rest of the time. We repainted walls, put in all new doors, new counters in both bathrooms, new sink and tub in one of the bathrooms. All the furnishings, linens, dishes, cooking items, etc are brand new! It is such a great location very centrally located to everything in Lake Charles. It is a mixed residential/commercial neighborhood. The businesses that are located near us are quiet businesses (Medical supplies and Insurance Agency) who operate Monday-Friday, 8:00 - 5:00. Never in the evenings, never on the weekends. There is some daytime noise from I-210, but there very little traffic on College St or I-210 in the evenings or at night. When we don't have it rented we will stay here sometimes when we go to events in town (since we live about 30 minutes from Lake Charles), so I can verify that noise is very minimal.

Inside, there are 3 bedrooms that will comfortably sleep 6. In addition, there are 2 separate living areas that can be completely closed off for privacy and used for sleeping (I provide 2 Queen size air mattresses).

In one of the living areas is a "business center" that has a computer, printer and office supplies if someone is travelling for business.

There is a very large backyard (including a fenced in area that is specifically set up as a doggy yard, complete with a dog house!). There is tons of parking in the front & back. Back concreted area can double as a "basketball area" as well. There is also a 2 car covered carport, patio area with a table, umbrella, chairs and a BBQ grill.

This property suffered substantial damage in Hurricane Laura and has been completely renovated with new flooring, cabinets, walls, etc.
