T’frere’s House Bed & Breakfast

This was not my normal B&B experience and I was a little surprised, but decided this was a positive experience. So, the previous owners sold the B&B to an investor. The investor does not live on site nor did they ever visit the site while I was there for 2 nights. At first I was taken a back by this, I was expecting to talk with the owners, share conversations with long time residents of site, but this proved to be a unique B&B experience. First of all, we decided to stay in the back cabin with our friends. It was comfortable, clean, quiet, and full of charm. It looks like a plain cabin from the outside, but it’s furnished with antiques and modern amenties like a flat screen tv and wifi, etc. The room had a French feel to it. The air-​conditioning in it was also a life saver in the heat and humidity of the summer. Since we were the only guests the first night, we had the entire site to ourselves. We got to look at every room in the main house and it looks like a real treat to stay in the main house full of history and charm. The main house is simply beautiful. We were staying with our other 2 friends and felt we could be louder in the separate cabin without disturbing other guests, otherwise I would have stayed in the main house. We ran into a staff person on our first night. We missed cocktail hour. She was super helpDful with tips for everything in the area. Breakfast was really good. The cook who comes in to do breakfast is good and friendly. I’m lactose intolerant and she didn’t hesitate to whip up a special dish for me. She also gave us great insights about the culture and recommendations for the area. They stock the guest fridge with all kinds of drinks, both alcoholic and non alcoholic, and snacks complimentary. And one day I came back to fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. All in all in was a wonderful experience.

The reason I am writing this review is because we are returning next month for two nights. I promised to write a review when we stayed last summer but I didn’t because we were busy traveling. But here is why we are returning this summer. Pat and Maugi were wonderful hosts, welcoming and friendly. Our room was beautiful and comfortable. The rooms are very romantic. We stayed in the Garconniere and it is very quiet and beautiful back there. We had coffee in the small courtyard early in the morning. We enjoyed our breakfast and got to visit with fellow guests from England. We had a wonderful experience and we are excited to return.

Very nice B&B located near Lafayette in Louisiana. It is located near an important road so it is highly recommended to specifically ask for a room in the back of the house (there are some rooms in another small house at the back, much quieter).
Our guests were really nice and the breakfast is good!

Just had our second visit because we loved it so much the first time. The owners Maugy and Pat are friendly, helpful and funny, giving you a real tast of Cajun country. The house and rooms are beautul and the breakfasts amazing. They also cheerfully made provisions for a non meat breakfast.

I wish that I could agree with the other 2 reviews. We scheduled 2 nights here (because of Frommer’s enthusiastic recommendation) and left after 1 night). Yes, the family could not have been any friendlier or more accommodating, so I feel badly giving a rave-​free review. Here’s the kicker for me. I have 2 requirements that need to be met when I sleep away from home. I want a comfortable bed and a quiet room– surely that’s not too much to ask at nearly $ 150/​night. Unfortunately for this business, Verot School Road is extremely busy so even our cottage tucked in the back of the property, was noisy. I had requested the quietest room that they have and we had to turn on the bathroom fan to drown out the cars and trucks. The king bed was hard– a comfy mattress with substantial linens, would do wonders to upgrade this room. For me, Frommer’s «country» ambience felt a bit tired around the edges. Most of this didn’t bother my husband, though he was happy to move for the second night. I agree with Liz about the regional food. We tried hard to love it but… I didn’t see any of the main house rooms so you’re just getting my brief snapshot. Again, I’m sorry not to be more positive because Pat and Maugie are clearly very nice people.

Recently spent a week here, and it was a wonderful warm experience from start to finish. The family that runs it, Pat, Maugie and son John all go out of their way to make sure that your every need is met. This comes in the form of extravagant breakfasts, afternoon cocktails and canapes, and planning day trips. Maugie is crazy, in the best and most wonderful way, so outgoing and energetic and welcoming — she makes you feel not only at home but part of the family. Breakfast is wonderful and both John and Pat make it memorable, especially Pat with his stories about a particularly colorful Cajun. We are moving to the area and will certainly recommend this B & B to anyone who comes to visit.

Really enjoyed my stay last weekend at T’frere’s House! We had the Louisiana room — spacious enough, comfortable bed, garden views, private bath, spotlessly clean — but got glimpses of the other rooms as well. «Cozy» and «quaint» and «southern gothic» come to mind when revisiting my stay.
Louisiana is not optimal territory for my eating habits, and T’frere’s did forget that we had requested vegetarian meals for our (included) breakfast. The T’Juleps that greeted us upon arrival contained artificial sweetener (I’m picky, ok? We know that.). But it’s Louisiana, and I’m used to having to bring a stash of snacks in the car… organic and vegetarian are not common currency here. Just keep in mind that velveeta and crystal light might well be on the menu at any gourmet restaurant in this town.
The owners were out of town, but Jason couldn’t have been nicer! He gave us great recommendations on uncommon attractions in the area and really made us feel welcome. I would recommend this b&b to anyone who can stomach a night in any non-​Ritz establishment — it’s charming and endearing and perfect and, hey, there are cats in the garden.
