It's always surprising how many incredible Airbnbs in Louisiana there are. Whether you're looking for a secluded cabin in the Kisatchie or a waterfront oasis on Toledo Bend, there's truly an accommodation for everyone. These five Airbnbs each have a unique quirkiness to them that we think you'll fall in love with.

1. Chateau Jarreau in Oscar

Grab 10 of your friends and make your way over to this waterfront Airbnb in Oscar, Louisiana. Featuring plenty of floor-to-ceiling windows, this rental boasts beautiful views of the False River, especially in the primary bedroom. The owners have a pontoon boat that’s available to rent, but you are welcome to bring your own!

2. Fairytale in Folsom

A charming multi-story house surrounded by trees, with a wooden walkway leading to the entrance.

If a treehouse and a castle got together, this would be the outcome. This stunning three-bedroom Airbnb in Folsom has it all: a wrap-around deck that overlooks the river, enchanting views, a gazebo with a fire pit, and so much more. The rental sits on seven wooded acres, and as you can see, it’s a raised property, so you’ll feel like you’re in your own little enchanted world.

3. Houseboat in Monroe

A bright blue house on stilts surrounded by water, with a cloudy sky in the background.

This brand new houseboat rental sits right on the Ouachita River and has both land and boat access. You can launch your boat 100 yards away, and the property even includes a covered boat slip. Kayaks and lifejackets are available to use, too!

4. Tensas Tower in New Iberia

A riverside view featuring a modern building, dock, and lush greenery reflecting in the water.
Paul/Airbnb

Good Housekeeping Magazine voted this fabulous find as the most unique Airbnb in Louisiana, and we’d have to agree! The views of Bayou Teche are top-tier, and it’s in the perfect location to explore the area. It’s important to note that this three-story rental does not have an elevator—and there’s a narrow spiral staircase. Pack lightly!

5. Train Car in Grant Coteau

Cozy interior of a stylish tiny home with a sofa, chairs, wooden table, and modern kitchen in the background.
Owner/Airbnb

All aboard! This retro train car is one of the most unique Airbnbs in Louisiana. Inspired by Wes Anderson’s films, the interior of this adorable train car will instantly put you in a better mood.
