This Airbnb in Louisiana Is Peak Fall Vibes

I won’t lie and say fall foliage in Louisiana is quite as brilliant as New England, but the northern part of the Pelican State still puts on a good show. If you want to go on a leaf-peeping adventure, this Airbnb in Natchitoches, Louisiana, is the perfect basecamp. The beautifully restored historic Perrault House is shaded by majestic trees that come alive with autumn splendor, and it’s conveniently located near all the best places in the state to see fall foliage.

Built in 1911, the Perrault House is a piece of living history in Louisiana’s oldest town. At 4,000 square feet, the sprawling estate offers five bedrooms and four full baths. It accommodates 10 guests. Two of the bedrooms feature double beds, and the other three have a couch in addition to a king bed. 

Old-world charm is woven into every aspect of the home. Rocking chairs and a swing adorn a traditional screen porch, an antique clawfoot tub encourages deep relaxation, and a stately piano harbors memories of tunes played by previous guests. 

Modern amenities blend seamlessly with the vintage elegance. The kitchen is equipped with updated appliances, allowing you to cook meals from scratch. Custom coffee mugs bearing the home’s name are perfect for sipping your morning joe. Speaking of coffee, locally roasted beans offer a complex, nuanced flavor that surpasses that of grocery store grounds. Take your cup outside to sip the rich brew in the company of the trees, vibrant with the colors of fall. 

The living room is cozy, with ample space for everyone to spread out and relax. There’s entertainment for all ages, from books and board games to basketball goals and frisbees. A 65-inch TV offers access to several streaming services. 

Spaciousness is a common theme in The Perrault House. All the bedrooms are spacious and feature handmade cypress beds, fitted with high-end sheets, plush towels, and spa robes. Luxury toiletries encourage you to indulge in some self-care time, slowing down to mirror the introspective energy of the fall season. 

The outdoor area is lovely, with plenty of room to soak up the nice fall weather. On the porch, an outdoor dining table and chairs offer an ideal setting for enjoying meals while admiring the autumn leaves. There’s also a saltwater pool open year-round (which may not sound like a fall activity, but this is Louisiana, so it probably won’t be too cold to swim). 

When you aren't getting some well-deserved rest at the Airbnb, venture out and discover the best fall activities in Louisiana.

What do you think of this charming, historic home? It’s the ultimate fall getaway, in my book. Natchitoches is less than two hours from one of the best fall day trips in Louisiana: Homer. This quaint town boasts stunning autumn scenery and a nostalgic ambiance reminiscent of a Hallmark movie.
