Best Place to stay in New Iberia!

This is the best bed and breakfast to stay at in New Iberia. Located on the banks of the Bayou Teche, quiet and within walking distance to the downtown area. One Block! Micky, the owner, has a great eye for design and has transformed this building into a beautiful work of art! We will be staying here again.

Fabulous, Unique, Relaxing stay on the Bayou

Loved everything about this stay. Such a beautiful place with special touches everywhere. All the amenities you need plus walkable to restaurants, bars, and local attractions. We had such a great time fishing right out back (thanks for the pole loan). Excellent communication and friendliness from the owners. I would love to come back here in the future.

Great little escape

I stayed here for a few days for some rest and relaxation. The apartment is very well decorated and has everything one would need - a Keurig coffeemaker and accompaniments, stocked kitchen supplies, cable TV, wifi, and more. The location is beautiful - overlooking the bayou and just steps away from restaurants, bars & a museum. Owners are nice and thoughtful - even brought breakfast vouchers for a local restaurant. Highly recommend.

Wonderful stay at Bayou Chateau

We enjoyed our short stay in New Iberia. We travelled with our dog and the accommodations were great. We walked along Main Street and saw the beautiful Shadows on the Teche plantation only a few blocks away. We had a good breakfast at Victor's Cafeteria barely a block from our rental. We enjoyed a nice fire on the outdoor deck overlooking the Bayou. Mickey and Tiffany are great hosts. Thanks for everything. Hope to return again.

Great place, great location

Perfect location, perfect property. Good communication with the host and catered to our arrival schedule. Thank you! ~~ The house was placed with the Bayou in the backyard and the downtown area right outside the front door. It had perfect access to all the downtown shops and dining spots. I absolutely loved the chateau and the city! The house was well accommodating with many different items in case you forgot to pack some. We want to come back again one day for a longer stay.!

Wonderful Experience

Everything was absolutely perfect! The owner was nothing short of amazing! We were in town to bring our fur baby to LSU. We had vehicle issues on the way down, had to have a family member come from home (Arkansas) to get our vehicle. Mickey was more than accommodating! He went above and beyond to ensure our stay was a positive one! We will definitely be back for an actual vacation! The units were stunning! Thank you so much for making our experience a great one! We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Excellent Acadia Getaway

My wife and I stayed for our 1st wedding anniversary. Excellent veiw of the bayou, great outdoor deck, well appointed kitchen. We really enjoyed our time! We cooked out on the deck each night, had everything you could need. As far as the studio, we couldn't have asked for more. The Murphy bed was very comfortable. My wife enjoyed the jetted tub. Just a great spot. Love it! The owners/managers were so gracious and very helpful. Definitely a jem! Thank you guys for a memorable first anniversary! Mike and Annette

About the host

Hosted by Mickey and Tiffany

Host profile image
Being from New Iberia and loving the bayou it has been a dream to own a place on the Bayou. Although we don't live at our rental and don't live on the bayou, for now we still get to enjoy it. I met my wife as a referral. If your a guest I can explain. She is an amazing and incredibly hard-working woman who after a few months dating and taking her out on my airboat, we were married at the Bass Pro shop in Branson. We both like the outdoors, hunting, fishing, scuba, diving, and repurposing things we find or buy from all over.

Why they chose this property

This property was originally owned by my Grandfathers Brother and purchased by us from his niece. He built it in the late 1940's and ran an electrical supply business from it. Then it was rented to Roses Dental Lab for many years until it was closed due to retirement. For several years after that it was rented by the people as a camp to play cards and Dominoes. It was in rough shape when we acquired it and took about 8 months of work to remodel it. It was a fun project for the wife and I. It evolved into a Vacation Rental after we purchased it and went through several ideas of what it could be. We love to go there when it isn't being rented, to have friends over, and cook out. We are constantly looking for unique ways to decorate and make it more enjoyable for our guest. Its also a great place to have available for friends and family stay when they are visiting from out of town.

What makes this property unique

Due to the limited interactions staff have with guests, and lack of shared amenities and public common areas in contrast to many other lodging options". Vacation Rentals are completely separated and completely independent, featuring kitchens and other exclusive amenities for families. This is a property is located downtown on the Bayou and is very private. It is its own single unit, not a condo, not a hotel, and doesn't share bathrooms like some B & Bs. You will be the only guest occupying this private rental property. The owners do not live on site, but are easily accessible and can be contacted for information, directions, and help if needed.
