A great experience!

Four of us in from TN & TX tho we are from Lafayette. The Blue House was a delight! Charming. Cozy. Very clean. Creative decor. Comfy beds. Perfect location. Peaceful (UL on Christmas break.) Quiet time on the porch swing to the lullaby of the train in the distance—we love this home and will be back!

Lafayette Rules

I just love this town. This place is so well equipped, decorated so artistically, and so comfortable for our group of 6 that it was a pleasure to retreat to and wake up in over several days of adventure. The host was very accommodating when we had a change of plans just a month or so before beginning the stay, and everything went so smoothly with the process. I highly recommend it, at the risk of it not being available next time we come!!

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.

Perfect stay

The Blue House is a perfect property to accomodate 6 adults, we were four so plenty of space and privacy for both couples. All we needed was there and more. I would recommand this property anytime. The host, Tyler, was really helpfull, he helped us find activities from the surrounding (great swamp tour just 25 minutes from the property) Jacques,Lucie, Mario and Patricia

Beautiful house & great location

In town for graduation and spent 2 days at the Blue House. Great neighborhood and close to campus. PLENTY of parking. Comfy beds, clean home and picture perfect decor. Back room did have some night brightness issues...when the neighbors came home the security light switched on for about 5m. For the 2nd night we used sleep masks and it was all good. Also, back bathroom may benefit from handrails to assist with getting in & out of tub. Other than that no problems. Highly recommend.

A taste of Acadiana

This property is a true taste of Acadiana! The decor and amenities are top notch and fit well with “modern classic” feel of the house. The location is minutes away from some of the best restaurants Lafayette has to offer and the property manager, Tyler, was prompt and accommodating to our Birthday game night celebration. True south Louisiana hospitality. The only issue was that we didn’t reserve it for longer as we could have used another day. Highly recommend you reserving this location if you considering it. You won’t be disappointed!

About the host

Hosted by Tyler Albrecht

Host profile image
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.
