Day One – Arrive & Settle In
- Arrive at our charming Louisiana bed and breakfast and settle into your cottage.
- Unwind from your travels with an ice cold glass of lemonade on the porch.
- Treat yourselves to a romantic date night out at D.I.’s Cajun Restaurant in Basile (closed Sunday and Monday), featuring true Cajun dishes and entertainment on these evenings. When you visit Rayne, plan to listen to some spectacular local talent! (Try the crawfish étouffée and homemade onion rings too!)
- When you return to your home away from home, take a luxurious bath or have a glass of chilled wine outside as you listen to the cicadas. It doesn’t get more peaceful than this.
Day Two – Relax, Eat & Dance
- Wake up in your cottage after a restful night of peaceful dreaming.
- Your innkeeper Lyn will deliver a full, fresh breakfast to your cottage and you can savor inside in your private cottage or outside in the early morning sunshine.

- Then head out to the Blue Moon Saloon, a honkey-tonk-style club, to experience Cajun Jam and zydeco music. It’ll be a unique night you couldn’t experience anywhere else.
Day Three – Get Lost in History & Culture
- After enjoying your breakfast, head out for a day of exploring the area’s rich history and culture, including its famous music scene at the Cajun Music Hall of Fame & Museum in Eunice, Open Tuesday-Saturday 9am-5pm.
