1842 Mansion on the Bayou

Imagine staying in a 180 year old mansion on the graceful Bayou Teche. As you turn in the driveway, shrouded by ancient live oaks, you will catch your first glimpse of the Albania Mansion. She boasts eleven thousand square feet of Louisiana history within her beautiful, restored walls. Over three thousand square feet of balconies on three different floors are perfect for relaxation, bird watching, and star gazing. The mansion is decorated using period pieces but also with attention to comfort and all the necessary modern amenities. This is perfect for family getaways, girls trips, special events, and retreats. Have a cup of coffee, or a glass of wine on a balcony as you watch the egrets fly lazily down the bayou. Conveniently located in the heart of Acadiana, this area is perfect for exploring the Cajun Coast and immersing yourself in the warmth of Cajun culture. Located along the Old Spanish Trail, Albania Mansion is a short drive from tourist attractions such as Avery Island, Jefferson Island, the Atchafalaya Swamp and Lafayette. Enjoy kayak bayou tours, antiquing, and even ghost tours in nearby Franklin. Try your luck at the Cypress Bayou Casino, take an airboat tour, or visit the many plantations located within driving distance. Or choose to do absolutely nothing at all. Sit and contemplate history, experience nature, or walk beneath the cathedral of oaks. While there is much you can see and do in the area, this house is the main attraction so you may find yourself inclined to rest awhile and take it all in. We can provide all manner of cooking experiences from gumbo and jambalaya lessons to Cajun crawfish boils and fish fries. This will be an experience like no other. Come stay with us and experience something special and unique!

Mrs Barbara was absolutely a dream to work with. She was attentive to our needs surrounding my daughter's wedding. We had trouble getting into a room, and we contacted her after hours. She not only answered our call but made sure the issue was resolved promptly. Highly recommend this property if you're in the New Iberia area.

Company Retreat
This was the perfect location to hold a company retreat for 10 adults. Plenty of beds and bathrooms. The facility and grounds were beautiful and hosts went above and beyond to provide everything our team needed. Also provided catering options. Plan on re-booking in the future.
