Blue Moon over Lafayette,La.

In all my travels i have yet to come accross a hostel like the Blue Moon Hostel in Lafayette,La. Mark and Catherine invite you in, provide you with entertainment,and can show the town through Blue Moon Tours. This is the blueprint for hostels and the standard by which all other accommodations will be judged. It's only drawback is that you can't stay here forever. After only two days at the Blue Moon i felt like i was leaving home when it came time to check out. I can't wait to go home again. -T Michael Bryan

Blue Moon Hostel
Are you are looking for an alternative to impersonal chain...

Blue Moon Saloon
In the back yard is the Blue Moon Saloon. A great place to wind down or up...

Weary Boys
During my stay the Weary Boys stopped by to play a couple rocking sets.

Moment of Zen
With all the going ons there was always a place to just relax or read.

Cade and Mario
Weary Boys Cade and Mario seem to be enjoying themselves as well.

Dont stay anywhere else. I stayed 3 days longer than I planned then came back for another 4 days. Great hosts and staff, great patrons and great music. I shall return.

I've known many people with vision, but watching the Blue Moon develop into what it is becoming is very exciting. Keep up the wonderful work!

It is my pleasure to be a close neighbor of the Blue Moon. You can see the roof of my shed in the photo of the back yard. The staff, guests, and patrons are the nicest folks you'd want to meet. Invariably, the music is top notch and represents the rich cultural gumbo of our area. Don't even think about visiting Cajun country without a visit to the Blue Moon!

The Blue moon saloon rocks. Cody and Kelly sling excellent margaritas and cool 10oz Schlitz Beer at the Saloon. Mark and Katherine are excellent hosts, and the house is populated with a healthy cast of characters. Definitely the coolest place in town.
