Host Jen was quick to reply to my concerns. She offered a resolution that, though it would have cost me quite a bit more, would have helped me out with a detail I missed in the listing. When that resolution turned out to be unavailable at the last minute, Jen helpfully reminded me that it was my mistake in the first place and honored the original charge with no further inconvenience to the host. I wasn’t able to use the reservation or be refunded, however intend to book these accommodations again when my attention to detail improves! (Thanks Jen for the good advice!) Even as a self-described new host with a recently purchased and expensive property, she is very committed to justice and it’s always so refreshing to meet someone who keeps us on our toes! Policy is policy! Five stars and thank you so much

Immaculate mowed lawn area perfect for a tent. Bucolic setting on a small farm. No picnic tables but I used my camping table and it was fine. I did see a fire ring. Bugs disappeared after sunset and temps dropped. Refreshing and relaxing overnight stay with wifi and a shower.

I enjoyed my stay at Williams. I had the place to myself for the night. It was very nice to allow my dog to run free off the leash. The summer heat in September was still in the 90s, but the outside shower came in clutch to cool off and refresh. It was the first time my dog saw a horse! I think shes mesmerized. Only downside would be the bugs. Make sure you bring some spray. I didn't realize how bad I got chewed on until a few days later. There is a train that passes by so be aware of that for anyone that's trying to completely get away from city life.

It is a great spot with beautiful scenery. It also has a little play area for kids to run around and play. It is a great spot on the bayou.

Don't use google maps to find the place. Use the mail box numbers. The best thing about this place is the feeling of security. Just across the street is a very nice neighborhood and if you keep walking you get to a huge cross on IH20. The hosts were very nice and accommodating.

2 nights at Bayou Choo Choo and Bayou Views
Bayou ChooChoo is such a unique stay! It’s in the heart of monroe, but also directly on Bayou Desiard. The dock is perfect for relaxing and fishing. Jen is thoughtful with the special details of the stay, and really makes you feel at home. The caboose is cozy, and has everything you need. I definitely plan to be back.

What an awesome place. Small, comfortable, woodsy; an actual farm! Hosts are wonderful and accommodating. I wish I was returning that way so I could stay again.
Amanda and Justin are perfect hosts. You will enjoy them and their hospitality.
Highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Bayou Choo Choo and Bayou Views
A last minute trip turned into an amazing adventure! Bayou Choo Choo was a wonderful experience. The experience starts when you round the curve and see the red caboose on the banks of the bayou. Climbing aboard transports you back to childhood. The decorations and details will melt your heart and make you chuckle in the same breath. The small space is laid out well and it feels bigger than it really is. Jen has put a lot of thought into the layout uses the small space well. There is a keurig, microwave and a fridge with freezer. The bathroom is small, but I am a big guy and had no issues. The shower feels bigger than it is. Jen was available to help answer questions and even provided some restaurant recommendations.
Although we can to watch baseball, we found our way to the Chennault museums, did some shopping and walked along the bayou. Jen was gracious and kind. We reached out to book a place to stay and feel like we made a friend.
