Our family absolutely loved our stay at Lucky H&W Farm Bed and Breakfast. This was out first experience with HipCamp, and it was incredible! We came across Dan and Gina's farm and cabin during our search for places to stay in Shreveport, LA, which was one of the stops along our cross-country road trip for my husband and (almost) 2 year-old son's birthdays, and are so glad we did!
The cabin is cute, clean, cozy and definitely provided the perfect glamping experience for our little family. We were excited to stay here because our little one loves reading about animals in books, but had not interacted with farms animals in person due to the pandemic (and our living in a city), so we thought Lucky H&W Farm would provide the perfect opportunity for us to give him a glamping and farm experience, and it was!
We arrived several hours later than expected because of a highway closure, but Dan was friendly, welcoming, and greeted us upon arrival. He took the time to walk us to our cabin and offered to figure something out for breakfast for us, as we are vegan and the menu for meals didn't include vegan options. Because we'd arrived late, and no one was checking in after us, Dan invited us to sleep in and get well rested before we headed out on the road to our next destination. He gave us a walkthrough of the cabin, left us to rest, then dropped off a platter of fresh fruit and nuts on the porch table to kick start the day the next morning, making sure not to wake us.
As we ate breakfast on the cabin porch, our little one was eager and excited to see Dan feeding the farm animals. Dan walked some of the animals over to meet us, which was a special treat for our little one. After breakfast, Dan took time to introduce us to each animal, and shared their names and stories with us. He gave our little one food to feed the animals, and helped him feel comfortable petting them. It was such a beautiful and memorable experience!
When we were ready to head out, Dan met us at the cabin in his ATV and gave us a ride back to our car so we didn't have to carry our bags over. Unfortunately, Gina wasn't feeling well, so we didn't get to meet her, but were grateful for the hospitality and generosity that she and Dan provided. We highly recommend their HipCamp to anyone looking to stay in the area - you'll be in for a memorable experience.
