## Overview

My wife and I are native south Louisianians. I grew up fishing, trawling, catching seafood, hunting and skiing in Westwego. My wife grew up near New Orleans eating poboys and beignets. 

We moved to Prairieville 20 years ago. It’s just over an hour from New Orleans and our Bayou property is very similar to what we were accustomed to in Cajun country, Westwego.

Learn more about this land:

We own 2 acres of partially secluded property on Bayou Manchac. Our place is a genuine Cajun retreat inside and out. We’re operating one short stay and one extended stay campsite and all 3 experience options at this time;. The site is on the Bayou; great for relaxing, bird and turtle watching, kayaking, etc. (There is a public boat launch if needed) Great place for adult only relaxation or for families. Grassy area with firepit for s’mores, archery equipment, etc. Scenic neighborhood for bike riding and walking. 
We’re close to Baton Rouge and LSU; also about an hour away from the New Orleans metro area. Authentic Cajun hosts lives in a unique A-frame on the property and can point you to attractions and seafood markets. We are lifelong locals with lots of knowledge of the area! We can interact with you as much or as little as you’d like. We love to cook and often share Cajun meals with our guests!. 
*Available tours for a small cost; See Experience section for details.

> Maria and Timmie were amazing hosts! They invited my daughter and me in to there home for dinner! Listened to Timmiie's stories and learned about Louisiana's culture!

Maria was quick to respond when I had questions and recommendations! I DEFINITELY stay here again!!

> We really enjoyed our week at Cajun Retreat! Maria & Timmie are gracious hosts with a beautiful property. We much prefer the waterfront view compared to most RV parks. Pull thru site made setup super easy in our 32ft motorhome It's very peaceful at night with only the sounds of owls hooting and frogs croaking down the bayou. The location is close enough to town for convenient shopping, but far away enough to be secluded from the sounds of traffic.

> The neighborhood and location is pretty beautiful and quiet. The campsite has a very nice yard by the bayou where most of the noise are birds. So peaceful. The hosts are very friendly and flexible.

> This place is fantastic! Maria and Timmie will treat you to a wonderful experience. Whether that be a crawfish boil, a boat ride on the bayou or a day out fishing and sight seeing! They were incredibly welcoming and truly amazing people! If we ever come back to Louisiana, we know where we’ll be staying!

> Maria and Timmie are one of the most wonderfull people we have met. They are very welcoming and showed us places that we would not have visited by our own. Their place is extremely quiet. If we ever come back in Louisiana, we will come back for sure.
