Crochet House

Cajun Country


This quirky B&B is operated by Leland and Sally, two Terrebonne parish natives who are fluent Cajun French speakers; inside, you'll see Sally's art and Leland's football paraphernalia. Rooms are a little lacy, but the rate is right, there's a pool and a Jacuzzi on the prime, and your hosts are enthusiastic guides to the region.
