That “cabin” is a bit dramatic.

I’m not knocking the entire development. It looks like it might be a fun place to take the kids for a quick getaway. But not if those are the sleeping accommodations.

I have to assume the cabins will be new builds.


Last time I drove by, there were cabins already on site. I assume the place shut down before they were ever rented out.

They already have one available on AirBnB

I laughed because I thought that was a rando pic of some shack. Then I clicked the link and saw it really is their promotional picture for "Book a Cabin, Camp site or Glamp Site".

Or you’re being purposefully obtuse. There’s a wide range between the metal shed and the actual cabin rental post. The majority of us live in the middle.

I could be mistaken, but it looks to me like they're using some of the old structures from when the alligator tours were in operation. Wish they'd do something with the actual bar.

Does anyone know what this place originally was 100 years ago? I remember renting canoes there back in the early 90's before it grew into the big business with the tour boats. We used to canoe out to Spanish Lake and back. There was another launch into a canal on Hwy 74 and you could get to Spanish Lake that way also.

I believe it happended in February, 1699 and his first landing occurred on Ship Island in what is now the state of Mississippi and actually stepped onto the coastal land three days latter near present day Biloxi.

March 25, 1699 - Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville

I ran mostly east, like yesterday afternoon: I must have made today 7 leagues and 50 portages over trees and log rafts; and we came on and spent the night at a landing where we found 6 pirogues. Here two small streams unite with this one, one from the north-northwest and the other from the southeast, making it half again bigger and twice as wide.
... The place where I am is one of the prettiest spots I have seen, fine level ground, beautiful woods, clear and bare of canes; but the whole country becomes inundated to a depth of 5 to 6 feet during high water...

Not worth a hoot without the Alligator Bar on the Ascension Parish side of the bayou.
