Opelousas House | Folk Art Tower Guesthouse & Gallery - Pvt Bedroom

1 Bedroom House in Opelousas

★ A very unique fun & inspiring place to get away and recharge or just lay back, relax - or get some work done - Covid-conscious & safety-oriented

★ Live, breathe, sleep, eat, drink, laugh (and, yes, work even) in Folk Art - literally

★ Large 40+ ft. long porch, a copper crowned 14' x 16' bandstand in front - "ain't nothin' like it anywhere" New mini-split AC/Heat

★ Plenty of grocery options, restaurants & antique stores within 10 minutes

★ On owner-occupied property near Lafayette

In 2021, we began listing the Folk Art Tower, but our guests over the years have given us over 400 Five Star reviews for their experiences. Way down yonder (that is, here in South Louisiana) we are called "da Superhosts".

★ It’s the basics - sleep, toilet and a shower, and a place to make food. WAIT! It's a LOT MORE than the basics. It's our funky palace dedicated to Folk Art. And, did you know? Yes, you can LIVE INSIDE FOLK ART - literally.

We have downsized the kitchen area to make it more "social", and, we have created a functional "kitchenette" - therefore, if you want to do extensive cooking we suggest you look at our Folk Art Barn or Folk Art Honky Tonk - both have full kitchens.

We will let our guests help tell the rest of our story,

"This spot is the epitome of the vacation rental experience for me. If you are suspicious because the price seems too low for the size and amenities, don’t be, because it is even more fabulous live than it looks online. The hosts seem more concerned that you have a relaxing time in a special space than they are about pricing. They also offer European pricing so you pay a bit more per person but if you’re a single, you pay the lowest rate. This is thoughtful for the solo traveler. We stayed in two of the (currently) three lodging options. We loved both. With the cabin, you have very large bedrooms on either side of a common area, so if you are two couples, you may want to choose that one for more sleeping privacy. With the tower the bedrooms are smaller and adjacent but you have an absolutely massive common area. All spaces are filled with art, a lot of it local, and interesting objects to look at. The spaces are both playful, with unique light switches and hidden lighting options. They could almost write a guidebook to the lodging features itself but that may take away some of the fun of discovering it on your own. The hosts themselves are very engaging, if you want them to be, or they will give you space if that’s your desire. They responded almost immediately to any question we had. I could have happily spent the week chilling at the property, under the pecan trees or on any of our very large porches, but we followed their guidebook on various local options for kayak tours of Lake Martin (do it, absolutely incredible) and local state parks like Chicot (also incredible). This space and experience made me and my friend very happy and I felt better about the world knowing Jim and Christy are in it. Highly recommend. Would love to return again."

"Jim and Christy are absolute gems. As hosts, they do everything you can ask for and more - they provide you with the true South Louisiana experience. Regardless of where you're staying, you're in for a treat."

"Truly why we love vacation rentals. Locals who show their lives and make you a part of it. One of those never to forget travel experiences. Definitely go and get a deep dive Louisiana experience!"

"We like to think vacation rentals were created for these kind of accommodations. The location is wonderful but the best part is the hosts. Jim and Christy are amazing people who provide their wary travelers with everything they could hope for. We can advise you this: Go! You will forever remember the experience!"

Summary: We suddenly needed someplace to stay for Festival International when our family hosts had a medical emergency. We wanted to be close to Church Point family and also close to Lafayette for Festival. The Folk Art Tower was the perfect answer. My wife and I are artists and were delighted by the creative space that Jim and Christy have created in the middle of Cajun country. Their appreciation and embracing of the culture and giving an outlet for artists, whether the artist uses a musical instrument, a paint brush or paper mâché (Evangeline Maid bread!). The whole "compound" is like an artistic scavenger hunt, you'll truly be really surprised everywhere you look. The lounge/common area is a really relaxing place to unwind, or maybe out on the front porch or out on the gazebo. I feel like I'm writing an ad for this place, but really, we've stayed in a looooot of places and this is truly the best of them all.
