About this property

Relax on the Bayou in our 'Big Cajun' Cabin

Beautiful custom-built Cajun Cabin, with a fully-equipped kitchen, living room and full bath. Cabin interior is rustic and is constructed of reclaimed virgin cypress and pine.

The cabin has a queen-size bed in the master bedroom and two twin-size beds in the second bedroom, along with a sofa & love seat in the living room. The bathroom has a bathtub/shower combination.

The cabin has a large TV in the living room and is equipped with WiFi and DirectTV.

The cabin is built on property right off Pierre Part Bay. There is a large covered dock where you can fish or tie up your boat. There is a boat ramp within walking distance where you can launch your boat to either fish or to just explore the beautiful waterways surrounding Pierre Part, including Lake Verret and Belle River.

If you're coming to fish, we have a nice, covered fish-cleaning area with a sink, cutting boards and containers for your use.

You may even catch a glimpse of the stars of Swamp People during your stay! Duffy's Gas Station, the home of Swamp People, is just a couple of miles south on Hwy. 70.

The cabin is about a one-hour drive from Louisiana's Capital City of Baton Rouge and about 1.5 hour drive to historic New Orleans. The Houmas House plantation home is 29 miles from the cabin, and Oak Alley plantation home is about 30 miles from the cabin.

Numerous opportunities for adventure may be available, depending on the season. These may include crawfishing, crabbing, frogging, fresh-water fishing, hoop net fishing and tours of the Atchafalaya Basin. Limited alligator hunts may be available during alligator season at an additional expense. Experience a true Cajun lifestyle.

Property was immaculate, beautiful and comfortable! We enjoyed the cabin BUT went there to fish. The fishing area was across the street and therefore not easy to access. My wife and I are physically challenged so it was hard for us to use the wharf!!!!

Thanksgiving with Family

My husband’s family is from the area so we visit often but always feel imposing. We booked the cabin so we had our own little space with our 1 year old for Thanksgiving. My husband’s brothers and their families and his mother came for the day for Thanksgiving lunch and it couldn’t have been more perfect. This could easily become our go to place when visiting. We loved it!

Awesome Property

I loved this cabin, beautifully decorated, exceptionally clean, very quiet. I love Pierre Part and this cabin is right in the village, and is across the road from the river, we sat on the swing in the evenings watching the river go by. Everything about the cabin is wonderful, Marilyn and Eddie are wonderful and easy to get along with, they made our stay easy and seamless. Eddie gives a great swamp tour if you are interested. Loved every minute, our stay went by way too fast, wish we were still there.

Bayou Fun

This was the second time we stayed here. It’s a beautiful relaxing place to stay. It is very well maintained and everything is clean and welcoming. Mr. and Mrs. Lambert are the nicest hosts. They checked on us and made sure we had everything we needed. Mr. Lambert took us on a swamp tour that was the highlight of our trip. He was so knowledgeable about the area and a very good tour guide. I would highly recommend you stay here if your going to that part of Louisiana.

Granny Chacha

Cajun Cabin was all we hoped it would be. The setting on the bayou urged us to sit a spell and take in God's beauty. The cabin's use of reclaimed wood for the building material was cleverly and expertly done. The rocking chairs on the porch got plenty of use and, thanks to the Martin bird houses next door, the mosquitos were not all that bothersome. Great week all around. The owners are so hospitable and thoughtful.

WoW..just amazing..

We love this place. We were there 10 years ago for my birthday, so we decided to go back this year. It's an amazing place to stay. It was such a healing place my wife just loved to just relax on the porch. Enjoy the scenery and the friendlest folks in the neighborhood I've ever encountered over there. Eddie & Marilyn kept checking on us. I had car problems when I first got there and Kept checking to see if they could help me. We hope to return in September, but this time for 2 weeks... If you miss an opportunity to stay there, you will regret it. You actually feel like you're sitting in Mayberry its so laid back.and peaceful .and the fishing..its Great..

Great location

We had a great time took our party barge with us and the launch is right next to the dock it was convenient. Cabin was super clean and very well kept up. We were able to dock our boat overnight at the dock that comes with the house. That makes to where we didn’t have to pull it in and out of the water. We will stay here again.

Perfect in every way! Boat dock/launch and bait shop within 1 minute walking distance! Grocery store within 5 minutes! Landry's Restaurant - delicious/authentic cajun food (I should know, I am 100% cajun) within 5 minutes! Water access to lake and fishing canals couldn't be easier! The cabin was spotless! Very comfortable beds, well stocked towels/linens, kitchen had extras, and front porch rockers overlooking the bayou was just beautiful! The owners, Eddie and Marilyn were super nice and accommodating! We will definitely be coming here again!!

Wonderful cabin, wonderful location

We wanted a cabin with character off the beaten path, and this was exactly what we were after. The cabin is very spacious and beautiful inside. The dock across the street is perfect for just relaxing and watching the bayou. I can’t think of a thing that could be done better.

About the host

Hosted by Marilyn Lambert

Host profile image

We live in South Louisiana and absolutely love it! We are married and have three adult children and three grandchildren. Since we built our cabins, we have met so many interesting people from as far away as Canada, Germany, France and Australia. We are looking forward to meeting many more and can't wait to help you enjoy and explore our beautiful state.

Why they chose this property

We love South Louisiana, because our way of life is very unique. Within a very short driving distance, there are so many places to see and adventures to experience. Louisiana is often referred to as 'Sportsman's Paradise.' This is so true!

The nearby Atchafalaya Basin is the nation's largest river swamp, containing almost one million acres of America's most significant bottomland hardwoods, swamps, bayous, and backwater lakes.

When you launch your boat into Pierre Part Bay, you will have access to endless waterways, including Lake Verret and Belle River. Bring your own fishing gear to experience some of the best fresh-water fishing in the country. If you are a bass fisherman, you can access bass-fishing paradise through Bayou Boeuf, Flat Lake, Lake Verret, Six Mile Lake, Lower Atchafalaya River, Bayou Long, Duck Lake and many others.

Numerous day trips are available including plantation tours of historic River Road Plantations, the Louisiana Capitol City of Baton Rouge, the French Quarter, the National World War II Museum, Audubon Zoo, the Aquarium of the Americas all located in historic and fun-filled New Orleans.
