Blue Gem in the middle of old town Lafayette

We enjoyed every moment at the very special Blue House. Being equipped with all modern amenities, it still maintains its antique and historic character. The Downtown area and many good restaurants (we very much liked the “Bon temps Grill’) are in walking distance, so we explored most of the area on foot. Not far away there’s a natural habitat (Lake Martin, where we went on a beautiful swamp tour) and the nice little town of Breaux Bridge, worth being visited. We would definitely stay again at the Blue house when visiting Lafayette again.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Tyler Albrecht

Hey I am the owner of The Blue House! I am a local Realtor and outdoor enthusiast. I wanted to create an amazing space that my guests, friends, and family would love. This is what we came up with I hope you like it! I have way too many hobbies...I am a licensed skydiver, soccer player, snowboarder, hunter, dirtbike rider, boater, longboarder, cyclist, runner. You name it I probably do it. I love to travel and hope you enjoy my city!

Why they chose this property

For the last 10 years, I have been living in and renovating this beautiful old home now known as "The Blue House". It has become a local landmark around town ever since it got its new paint job which became the namesake. A lot of the repairs and updates I have done myself including painting the exterior that 'dynamic blue'! I had plenty of help along the way to transform this historic beauty back to its former glory with all the modern creature comforts. I hope you enjoy and take care of my home.

What makes this property unique

There are countless benefits to staying here as opposed to another home or hotel. The location is impeccable. The Attakaps bicycle trail wraps around the corner that the house sits on and you are within walking distance to all that Lafayette has to offer. During the winter you can nuzzle up next to the old gas fireplace and in the summer enjoy the simple life as you rock back and forth on the front porch swing. Enjoy the big game on the 70" smart tv and enjoy any of the games we have on the inviting dining room table. Plenty of parking and plenty of space to feel right at home while you're away from home. The Primary bedroom features a kitchenette with a pull-out microwave, mini fridge, quartz countertops, and floating shelves! Also, a private deck and French door entrance. The primary bathroom has a second set of washer/dryer.
