The Romantic Louisiana Getaway That’s Perfect For A Chilly Weekend

Here at Only In Louisiana, we've covered dozens of awesome getaways, ranging from haunted bed and breakfasts to treetop Airbnbs. If you're looking for a place to spend a romantic getaway, you can't go wrong with a cabin rental at Chicot State Park.

Located in the tiny town of Ville Platte, Chicot State Park is one of the most beautiful state parks in Louisiana.

Clocking in at 6,400 acres, it’s the largest state park in the state, and is unique in that it’s also home to the Louisiana State Arboretum, the oldest state-supported arboretum in the United States.

For nature lovers, there's no better spot.

Tons of wildlife, ample fishing opportunities, and some of the most stunning scenery in the state... sounds dreamy, right?

There are several rentals available at the park.

Primitive campsites and RV hook-ups are standard, but if you're looking for something in-between, consider renting one of their Tentrr sites, where you can glamp in style.

Of course, for the ultimate getaway, rent one of their waterfront cabins.

These cabins are built right over the lake, and you'll have mesmerizing views of the water from your new living room.

Each cabin comes with the basics, so all you'll need to bring is yourself and some food and you're ready for a wonderfully romantic weekend.

During the day, spend some time walking the trails.

The main trail completely encircles the lake and offers some truly enchanting views of the swamps and marsh you're surrounded by.

You can also rent a kayak and set off on your own adventure!

Kayaking is a great way to see the lake from an entirely new perspective. The kayak trail is well marked, just keep in mind that bigger boats are allowed on the lake, so be careful if you're crossing from one side to the others.

After your day of exploring the sights, retire back to your cabin where you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the warmth of a campfire.

On a chilly evening, there's just nothing better.
