French Quarter-Style Retreat, Private Pool, Theater, Wine Cellar & Game Room

Welcome to Maison de la Baie

Newly opened for guests! Discover a French Quarter-inspired retreat in the heart of Lafayette, Louisiana.

Maison de la Baie isn’t simply a place to stay while visiting Louisiana. The house is part of the experience.

From the moment you step into the private, gated courtyard, you’ll discover a home unlike the typical vacation rental. Antique cypress, brick floors, exposed beams, stained glass, and intricate architectural details bring the romance and character of New Orleans to the heart of Acadiana.

Start your morning with coffee beneath the pergola. Spend the afternoon relaxing beside your private pool. Venture out for unforgettable Cajun and Creole cuisine, live music, local festivals, shopping, or a Ragin’ Cajuns game.

Then return to your own private retreat. Challenge friends to a game of pool, settle in for a movie on the massive 100-inch screen, or unwind in the luxurious primary suite with its spa-inspired bathroom.

Whether you’re gathering with family, celebrating a special occasion, or exploring Lafayette, Maison de la Baie offers something rare: a destination worth coming home to.

THE COURTYARD AND PRIVATE POOL

Step through the gates and into your own private courtyard.

The courtyard is one of our favorite parts of Maison de la Baie and one of the reasons we fell in love with the property. Brickwork, a spacious pergola, a private swimming pool, and a New Orleans inspired balcony create a space that feels tucked away from the rest of the city.

Have your morning coffee outside, spend an afternoon around the pool, or relax beneath the pergola after dinner.

The entire courtyard and pool are private to your group.

A HOUSE FULL OF STORIES

One of the things we love most about Maison de la Baie is that almost every room has something unexpected.

The most remarkable example may be the wine cellar. It was constructed from a 1,500 gallon wine barrel brought from Bordeaux, France. Step inside and you are literally standing within the curved walls of the enormous barrel.

Even the barstools have a story. They were crafted from Maker’s Mark whiskey barrels.

Elsewhere throughout the home you will find antique cypress, exposed brick, stained glass, beautiful woodwork, decorative fireplaces, unusual architectural details, and spaces that feel like they belong somewhere in the French Quarter.

There is even a living room where vintage doors are mounted across the brick walls, creating one of the quirkiest spaces in the house.

This is a home that rewards wandering around and looking closely.

THE GAME ROOM

The oversized game room was made for nights together.

Challenge someone to a game of pool, stretch out on the huge sectional, or put the game or a movie on the 100 inch television.

The room also includes a queen size pullout bed, giving your group additional sleeping flexibility.

Whether everyone gathers here after dinner or the kids claim it for the evening, there is plenty of room to spread out.

PLENTY OF ROOM TO RELAX

The house has multiple living spaces, so a larger group does not have to spend the entire trip in one room.

A sitting room just off the kitchen offers another comfortable place to watch TV, talk, or relax and features a distinctive custom fireplace designed by a New Orleans architect.

Near the foyer, another living space includes a 65 inch TV and pullout sofa, along with some of the home’s most unusual brick and vintage door details.

There is also a cozy reading nook tucked beneath the stairs for anyone looking for a quieter corner of the house.

Some people can watch the game. Someone else can read. Others can hang out by the pool. Everyone has room to settle in.

THE PRIMARY SUITE

The primary suite is one of the showpieces of the home.

Soaring 20 foot ceilings create a dramatic space, while the king bed gives you a comfortable place to settle in at the end of the day.

The primary bathroom feels like its own retreat, with a classic clawfoot tub, bidet, and an eight nozzle spa style shower.

It is spacious, distinctive, and very much in keeping with the rest of the house.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS

Maison de la Baie has three bedrooms, plus additional sleeping space in two of the living areas.

Primary suite: King bed

Second bedroom: King bed

Third bedroom: Queen bed and bunk bed

Game room: Queen size pullout bed

Living room: Pullout sofa

The home also includes three full bathrooms and two half bathrooms, giving everyone more room to get ready without crowding into one bathroom.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO SETTLE IN

The fully equipped kitchen gives you plenty of room for breakfast at home, drinks before dinner, or a full meal when you would rather stay in.

The house also includes a dedicated office for anyone who needs to get a little work done during the trip, along with two laundry areas for added convenience.

Five on site parking spaces are available across two driveways.

A few designated owner and housekeeping storage spaces remain secured and are not available to guests. The home’s residential lift is also secured and unavailable for guest use.

EXPERIENCE LAFAYETTE

Maison de la Baie gives you a private place to retreat while keeping you close to the things that make Lafayette worth visiting.

Excellent restaurants, local coffee, shopping, antique stores, entertainment, River Ranch, Topgolf, UL Lafayette, medical facilities, and Lafayette Regional Airport are all conveniently accessible.

Come for Festival International. Visit for Festivals Acadiens et Créoles. Spend a weekend cheering on the Ragin’ Cajuns. Come for a wedding, family gathering, college visit, work trip, or simply because you want to eat your way through one of the best food cities in the South.

Lafayette is the heart of Acadiana, and some of the best parts of South Louisiana are found around a table, accompanied by good food, good music, and people you enjoy being with.

A LITTLE ABOUT US

We’re Zach and Chelsea, and Maison de la Baie is the first home we’ve created through Cypress & Cane.

We fell in love with this property because it does not feel generic. It has quirks. It has stories. It has craftsmanship that would be difficult to recreate today. Most importantly, it feels like Louisiana.

We have worked to preserve everything that gives the house its personality while making it comfortable for the families and friends who stay here.

We hope you swim, play some pool, eat something incredible, explore Lafayette, notice all the strange little details around the house, and spend some uninterrupted time with the people you came to see.

You do not just have to visit Louisiana.

You can stay somewhere that feels like it. Come pass a good time.
