Old farmhouse near Natchitoches. downstairs king bed shared bathroom | Bed & Breakfast in Natchitoches
1 Bedroom Bed & Breakfast in Saint Maurice, Natchitoches
Hello! It’s Gina. Welcome to Bayou Bourbeaux Best and Breakfast. It’s our home and we are happy to have you as our guest(s).
We are located at 3161 hwy 1226 in Clarence, Louisiana. Don’t follow GPS directions. They aren’t accurate.
If for some reason I’m not home when you arrive, please let yourself in. You know if you’re in the downstairs king, upstairs with the twins or have the upstairs queen with the bathroom. Come on in and get comfy.
Here are the basics:
Food:
I will make breakfast each morning or you can grab and go. I have a little coffee cart in the kitchen that has stuff you can make and take if you aren’t around for breakfast. There’s also bread for toast and fruit on the counter. Help yourself to milk and OJ in the fridge if you’re up extra early and I haven’t set it out yet. I’m usually up early though.
If you get hungry during your stay, I put some snacks in your room. There’s also food down in the pink coffee cart.
The coffee cart is open 24/7 and has tea, coffee, hot chocolate and all the fixing as well as some snacks on the bottom shelf of the cart. The table next to the cart has a coffee maker, hot water kettle, toaster and anything else you might need.
Water here is safe to drink but looks discolored due to the care iron pipes in this old house (slowly replacing them). There’s a 5 gallon water dispenser off the kitchen in the laundry room for you to use and an ice maker next to the stove.
If you can’t find what you need, let me know!
Bathroom:
Upstairs queen has a private bathroom
Everyone else uses the downstairs LSU bathroom. Towels and toiletries are in the vanity sink drawers (look for the labels).
The original clawfoot tub is what we have. We just upgraded and added the shower. We have found taking a shower in a clawfoot tub comes with some considerations. First, if we don’t use the magnets, it’s like bathing jn a ziplock bag.. the curtain likes to cling to you and there’s no room to shower. So I put magnets all along and it works well. BUT, it’s an old tub and water will escape to the outside and cause a puddle if you don’t put clips where you entered the tub. It isn’t beautiful but it is functional! Again, cast iron pipes and water cause water that looks off color and produces some sediment in the tub after your shower. Don’t worry about it.
The shower itself is really nice and it has the rain and the shower nozzle hose feature. If you don’t like looking out over the pasture when you’re showering there’s a yellow curtain you can close before you hop in the tub. But in my experience nobody’s ever out there to see in and the view from the shower can be relaxing.
Bedrooms:
There are space heaters or electric blankets if you get cold. Windows upstairs can crank open or closed IF they have a crank in the window sill. Just be gentle. They’re the original windows and are fragile. Windows are an upcoming project in this 100 year old house!
Outside:
Feel free to roam the grounds!
Hammocks under the oaks, cornhole, ladder ball, the big connect 4 game or sit on the front or back porch. Jump on the trampoline. Play in the sandbox ;) We have two outside kitties that may come to see what you’re doing.
Coffee on the porch is really peaceful and I highly recommend it.
This is the country. There will be bugs. We have spray.
Fire pit is lovely at night. If you want s’mores we can probably do that too!
Inside:
If you need office supplies or a desk, let me m know!
I’ve got a washer and dryer. Let me know if you need to do laundry. I will help you with my finicky washer.
Feel free to play any of the games I’ve put out in the dining room. There’s a jukebox and a turntable you can use! Jukebox hooks up to your Bluetooth and you can play what you like. Dance party? There’s even a gumball machine.
Hang out all you want in the living room. We have a Wii but I can’t figure out how to hook it up so if you know, let me know! I’d love help setting it up.
You can cast what you like on the TV.
Internet:
We are in the sticks and can’t get any of the popular internet packages. It’s sometimes spotty abut Nomad is the best we can do
It’s the
Verizon 94 internet
with password con7-pard-quire
No smoking or vaping inside thanks!
Finally, this old house:
Bayou Bourbeaux is 100 years old. I purchased it earlier this year and have been working on cleaning and improving it. It’s been a lot of work.
Keep in mind this is an old house. We live here and it’s not a fancy schmancy BnB like you’ll find in Natchitoches. The house has its quirks and isn’t perfect but we hope you will find it comfortable and peaceful while you’re here and we hope you will return again soon!
Gina and Parker
We have an indoor outdoor cat. We are not smokers. There’s plenty of space for you to park your boat or trailer.
