Peaceful Retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at The Castle! It is a wonderful old house, with so many original features. The owner has done a great job decorating and making it both functional and comfortable. Set in a peaceful area, it is just made for porch-sitting! Thank you so much for sharing this home.

Cajun Christmas

It’s was a very eclectic and cozy property! Very authentic and cozy. We happened to be there during unprecedented cold snap and it was a little cool due to age of home! The homeowner made extra arrangements to ensure we were cozy! I appreciated the efforts! Would be super fun in summer nice outdoor open areas for fun!

The Castle is perfect!

We had a very comfortable stay at the Castle in Scott, LA. It’s a great place to enjoy an old well appointed cottage with all the amenities of modern life. The privacy and seclusion of the property is most attractive to us - and great to escape the stresses of city life. We’ll definitely be back again - and we hope very soon….

Parents Get Away Trip

Such a fun property!! The history that this little house holds is such a treasure. I love that the property owners have the bill of sale on display and so many other neat little pieces, it truly feels as if you are stepping back through time. We woke up one morning to the neighbors working a herd of cattle on horse back. You definitely will not regret booking this cute little house.

Amazing Place to Stay!

We fell in Love with this place. So much history everywhere you looked. Beautifully decorated and had everything you could possibly need. We loved the peace and quiet of the location. It was close to so many attractions. It was close enough to town if you needed anything, but far enough away for peace and quiet. The property is so beautiful and we loved the porches. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was fantastic. Thank you for allowing us to stay.

Wonderful getaway!

We stayed at The Castle and loved it! The house is great with tons of character. The back porch is so peaceful to sit back and relax. Our kids loved seeing the cows, chickens and bunny. It was perfect all around and great location too! We plan on returning in the future. I definitely would recommend The Castle!

An excellent Louisiana “experience “.

Our host did everything necessary to ensure that we (dog included)had a fun two week vacation at The Castle. We took advantage of his suggestions for getting to know the area, eating at great restaurants and relaxing on a beautiful rural property. We appreciated Jared’s prompt responses to our questions and attention to details in our home. We recommend the rental to anyone who appreciates restoration and upkeep of historical properties.

The Castle Stay

First the pros. Quiet neighborhood and serene, tastefully decorated nice comfortable king bed, backyard was nice, rain shower was a bonus, did not use hid-a-bed or stove. Now the cons, no password available for internet, toilet overflowed no plunger available had to go out and buy one, no instructions about what to do with trash no outside can available, stove was dirty with food around burners, refrigerator dirty inside . Front door to home had 3/8 inch gap around door that allowed the air to flow threw it, glass top table was dirty on bottom of glass. No # available to contact maintenance or owner, check-in book incomplete .

Perfect!

The Castle was perfect for our family Thanksgiving celebration. While dinner was cooking, everyone enjoyed the huge back porch overlooking the patio and the scenic, peaceful pasture. Our granddaughters loved the swing. This awesome historical home was spacious with beautiful décor and a great kitchen. This will be our home away from home when visiting family in Louisiana!

Perfect

It was like staying in a museum house that helps you learn what it was like for people who lived in the 1800s - except it also had modern conveniences! We also enjoyed relaxing on the back porch. The location was perfect - the neighborhood was quiet and off the beaten track but we were a short ride from various activities. Jared was always quickly responsive to any questions we had. I highly recommend this property.

Why they chose this property

Read the Reviews! Definitely worth the stay!

What makes this property unique

The home is a perfect twist of historic structure with modern fixings. It's carefully decorated with unique pieces that connect to the Louisiana Cajun culture. It was used for the filming of the GMC Sierra commercial in 2016!

Also check out our other VRBO vacation stay - Paul's Studio located in downtown Scott at The Old Bank of Scott where I currently reside after an extensive remodel.
