This Summer, Take A Louisiana Vacation On A Floating Villa On The Atchafalaya

Sprawling out over nearly one million acres, the Atchafalaya Basin is the largest river swamp in the country. Yep, that’s right, it’s even larger than Florida’s Everglades! Swamp boat tours are one of the best ways to see this natural oasis, but for a true Cajun vacation, check out these houseboat rentals in Louisiana where you can spend a few nights immersed in the Atchafalaya!

Cypress Cove is a one-stop shop for practically all your waterfront needs. Not only is it a popular landing spot for folks to drop their boat, but there’s also a restaurant serving up delicious Cajun fare, plus a shop where you can pick up some last-minute necessities before your day on the water.

Cypress Cove offers three different houseboats that you can rent for a one-of-a-kind getaway.

Each houseboat can sleep up to six people, so whether you’ve got the entire family along for the ride or just looking for a quiet, romantic getaway, these houseboats offer plenty of space for everyone.

You’ll have all the same features that you’d find on land, except you’ll be floating on the Atchafalaya.

Don’t worry, you won’t just drift away into the abyss... you’ll be anchored to a location and you’ll have contact numbers of the owners just in case you need to reach them.

You can also rent a watercraft so you can explore the swamps on your own during the day.

Kayaks, canoes, and paddle boats are just a few of the options, and you can even rent a fishing pole and bait at the marina store!

The deck is perfect for wildlife viewing and photography...

...and in the evenings, the sunsets are just mesmerizing.

Once the sun sets, that's when the swamp really comes alive and you'll be immersed in the symphony of sounds from the swamps. Keep your eyes to the sky and you might catch a shooting star!
