3 Epic Airbnbs in Louisiana With Pools, Hot Tubs, and Unreal Water Views

When planning a getaway, especially during the hot and humid dog days of summer, you most likely want to book one of the best water-feature Airbnbs in Louisiana. Whether a pool with a swim-up bar, a hot tub overlooking a river, or a bi-level pool complete with a jacuzzi, these are among the most luxurious and relaxing vacation homes in the state. Here's where you should book your next getaway:

1. Casa del Rio — Springfield, Louisiana

Located along the Tickfaw River, Casa del Rio may be one of the best waterfront Airbnbs in Louisiana. This four-bedroom, four-bathroom home can accommodate up to 10 guests and features a backyard that's more akin to what you'd find and experience at a high-end resort. Step outside — where I'm sure you'll spend most of your time — to take a dip in the hot tub and gaze out at the river just steps away. Better yet, spend hours in the pool, not just to cool off, but to grab a cocktail from the swim-up bar, a feature you don't find at many private home pools!

The pool also has lights and water features for extra fun. There's also a convenient outdoor kitchen, which will keep everyone happy with meals and snacks throughout the day as they enjoy all the amenities. If you own a boat, or can at least rent one, bring it along to take out on the river. If you're looking for Airbnbs with pools in Louisiana for a staycation, Casa del Rio is just one hour from both New Orleans and Baton Rouge

2. Magnificent Country Estate — Ponchatoula, Louisiana

Experience the finer things in life when you stay (and swim) in the lap of luxury at the Magnificent Country Estate in Ponchatoula, Louisiana. Its architecture is reminiscent of a French Chateau, set on 25 acres with manicured gardens and lawns — you may forget you're in Louisiana and, instead, somehow make it to a countryside estate in Normandie. The estate is also set on a lake, and although swimming is not allowed, you can swim all you want in the bi-level pool with water features overlooking it. In the outdoor space, you'll also have access to a hot tub, a kitchen, and dining. You may also use the kayaks, canoes, and a paddleboat to take out on the lake.

With five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, this home can accommodate up to 16 guests. For anyone searching for luxury Airbnbs in Louisiana for a family reunion or large group of friends, the Magnificent Country Estate is hard to beat, given its space, scenery, and high-end amenities.

3. Amite River Retreat — Springfield, Louisiana

With 100 feet of frontage along the Amite River, this three-bedroom, four-bath home provides a serene and scenic stay for up to seven guests. Surrounded by moss-covered oak and cypress trees across four surrounding acres, the home certainly feels secluded, like having your very own private retreat, whether here with your group of friends or large family. Featuring screened-in porches and spacious decks with swinging chairs, there's no shortage of places to sit outside to enjoy the fresh air and views. Not only that, but the home features a pool with a waterslide and a hot tub overlooking the river, making it one of the most scenic Airbnbs with hot tubs in Louisiana.

If you'd like to spend time out on the water, the home has a boat launch for your watercraft, or you can go fishing or swim in the river. And with its location in the Maurepas Swamp area, you'll also have access to other bodies of water, including Lake Maurepas and the Tickfaw River, when staying at the Amite River Retreat.
