The Blue Jay Getaway

One bedroom New Orleans style cottage located on the Petite Anse Bayou near Rip van Winkle Gardens, Avery Island and Jefferson Island. It is the ultimate get away for peace and relaxation while being close to what South Louisiana has to offer. Enjoy the great food and experience the charm of the Cajun culture. Experience the calm of nature while sitting along the bayou listening to the birds, watching the ducks and fishing if you choose.
The space
A breath of fresh air with a melancholy feel. Take a step back from the hustle and bustle and enjoy the sounds of nature as well as the steady gulf breeze. Relaxing and soul filling.
Guest access
Guests have access to the entire property, boat landings/dock. Boathouse is currently under renovation until further notice
Other things to note
The cottage is located in the heart of French Louisiana. Enjoy the many delicious restaurants offered in Abbeville, Lafayette and New Iberia. Two hours away is New Orleans and several famous plantations on the river road. There is Oak Alley, Houmas House, Laura and Whitney Plantation. Lafayette is home to the Acadian Village and Vermilionville.

Closer to the cabin, is the famous Tabasco farm and factory. The Jungle Gardens are a sight to behold. The bird sanctuary is not to be forgotten. It houses many species of breathtaking birds. In the opposite direction, is Rip Van Winkle Gardens which offers many spectacular photo opportunities. Enjoy a great meal at Cafe Jefferson while you are there. Shadows on the Teche, built in 1834, is located 6 miles from the cabin. Tours are available.

The cabin sleeps 4 (one bedroom and a sleeper sofa). There is a beautiful deck with a covered porch to enjoy the breathtaking outdoors. The kitchen is equipped with a commercial oven and stove for those that enjoy their hand at cooking. There is a fire pit along the bayou. A canoe, two kayaks are available with children’s life vest. Fishing poles are also available for the angler at heart. Washer and dryer are available in the bottom area.

Relaxing getaway
This was perfect for a much needed getaway/work weekend. My wife and I are business owners and we needed some quiet time to catch up on work. We were able to take a nice evening ride down the Petite Anse Canal with the kayak provided. We would definitely book this trip again in the future.

Our weekend at the camp.
Property was impressive. High quality furniture for such a small house, commercial size stove, refrigerator, extra ice maker, HUGH TV. Extremely comfortable sofa. For a one bedroom, lots of space inside and out. Would be great for a family reunion, barbecue, party of any kind. Bottom bathroom would need to work! Fishing NOT so good, but guys tried and enjoyed themselves. Nice to sit out and enjoy the view. Master bathroom without a door NOT for everyone but also HUGH. We needed help getting into house but host responded to my call for help without 10 minutes, Thank God! Thankyou Patrick. Front porch could be cleaner, lot of bugs on outdoor furniture, windows, ceiling corners. Looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months. Impressive and comfortable enough to go back another time.

Definitely a place of respite
The Blue Jay Getaway is a cozy and comfortable place to stay. It is well-named as a getaway. It is on the banks of Petite Anse Bayou where you will probably be visited daily by the ducks. Coffee on the deck is the best. The house is very well-appointed. The kitchen is designed for cooking for a family; large fridge, commercial stove, and most of the small appliances you might need. Large TV's in the living room and bedroom with satellite/cable. The record collection is very diverse. Outside is great with a firepit and huge lot. It is within 10 minutes of New Iberia. Communication with the host is courteous and timely. The only concern is that it is listed as a 2-bedroom and it is actually only a 1-bedroom.

Great location to get away
Great location for two friends looking for a weekend away from day-to-day responsibilities. The owner was attentive and responsive. The mattresses on the bed and pull-out sofa were comfy. Bring your own measuring cups and spoons if you need them for cooking. Loved the holiday decor and record collection!
