About this property

The Victorian Secret - St. Peter House - Downtown, Entire House! New Reno!

Sitting in the heart of downtown New Iberia, this beautiful, historic Victorian home was built in 1897. It has three bedrooms, and will easily sleep eight people with two queen beds, two twin beds, and a queen sized sleeper sofa. It also has a full kitchen, a separate dining area with seating for six, and music room/parlor. We invite you to enjoy the sounds of New Iberia while enjoying coffee on the front porch or playing the antique piano in the music room.

Situated next door to St. Peter's Catholic Church and three blocks away from the historic Shadows on the Teche, this house is steps away from everything downtown New Iberia has to offer -- festivals, dining, shopping, coffee, nightlife, and even parades. It is also a short drive away from Avery Island, Jefferson Island, and all the beauty that surrounds Acadiana.

If you're visiting New Iberia for a wedding, class reunion, the Sugar Cane Festival, the World Championship Gumbo Cookoff, or just a weekend getaway, we invite you to enjoy the convenience of our home. Special weekly and monthly rates are available upon request. Please note that the rental is for the downstairs unit only.

Perfect Girls’ Getaway

Our group of ladies thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the St. Peter House. This beautiful Victorian home has been renovated nicely, providing all the amenities our group needed. The location was perfect for us as we explored all New Iberia and its surrounding areas has to offer. The hosts were extremely kind and easy to communicate with. We would definitely return if we return to the area.

Fun visit to the old south

We came down to spend a couple days in Louisiana. The house was convenient, easy to find and perfect for our group. Had everything we needed and it’s definitely in the heart of Cajun country.

Needs Better Functionality

The property is super clean and the host is very responsive to questions and immediate concerns. There was plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, shampoos/conditioners, bath wash, laundry products, and cleaning supplies. The new bathroom/laundry room was nicely lit with a good shower and pleasant decor. While the property is very convenient to Main Street restaurants/shops, it is also quite noisy (noise from the close street traffic, from the bar around the corner, and from frequent trains that whistle and whistle, from the fan in the bathroom with a tub which is so noisy it sounds like a plane taking off). The property sleeps 8, but does not function well for more than 4 people. For example, there is not a sitting/living area where more than 4 people can gather at one time to talk or watch TV.; there were only 4 forks, 3 white wine glasses, 2 red wine glasses; also the tub in the bathroom without a shower was not used by anyone because of the noise and poor lighting, so coordinating shower time was an issue). Lighting in the bathroom with a tub was so poor you could not put on makeup there (only a dim ceiling light). There were no reading lights by any of the beds. The house has a pleasant "staying at grandma's" feel to it, but it needs less big pieces of furniture and less space taken up by bedding, decorative items, and items that have been left behind as renovation projects were completed AND more space for guests to gather and store their belongings.

Awesome !!

The house is beautiful & well maintained. It had everything we needed and even more. The owners are easy to reach & give us restaurant suggestion for breakfast which was greatly appreciated. Due to the location close to the road & the train tracks it is a little noisy but it isn’t disturbing at all Overall our stay was fabulous, ‘’Laisser le bon temps rouler’’

We had a great stay at a historic property

We found ourselves in the heart of downtown New Iberia. We could not have had a better location to have as home base. Within walking distance of shops and vendors and no more than half an hour away from swamp tours and Avery Island. The property owners were very friendly and very welcoming. Overall would make the trip again, thanks for a great stay.
