Bayou Oaks is a stunning vacation rental located between the City of Opelousas, Louisiana, known as the Zydeco Capital of the World, and Leonville, a small town located right on the Bayou Teche. The rental sits on a 10-acre private lake that includes kayaks, pedal boats as well as fishing poles. The spacious house can sleep 12 with two bedrooms and pull-out beds in the living room. There’s plenty to do inside with a foosball table, smart TV, Wi-Fi, and fully stocked kitchen. When you’re ready to disconnect, there’s a screened-in porch, where you can relax and enjoy the gorgeous waterfront view. With a walkway leading over the water and between moss-strewn cypress trees, the floating seating area is perfect for entertaining and family gatherings.

This hidden gem is located along a secluded private driveway, but is still less than 10 minutes from Interstate-49 and only 15 minutes from Bayou Teche Brewing, a microbrewery with delicious wood-fired pizza, and The Little Big Cup, one of the most popular restaurants in Acadiana.
