Colonial Style B&B in Historic District
by Carl Burnham

Situated in the historic district by the same name, the Lost Bayou Guesthouse includes five guest rooms, 10 foot high ceilings, and a porch and deck overlook to enjoy the island breeze.

Numerous vintage photos provide a glimpse of the history of the house and the devastating 1900 storm

The Aquarium Room provides a tranquil setting to relax by a warm fire and watch television or read a book

Historic 1900 Storm Photos and Aquarium Room

Built as a residence in 1890, the house survived the 1900 storm and had a lower level added in 1906 to make it 2 1/2 story. The five guest rooms are in the upper levels of the inn, and include original exposed hardwood floors. The Aquarium Room is appointed with a comfortable sofa and chairs, with snacks, coffee, tea, and soft drinks.

The tri-level outside staircase provides a view of the backyard patio, gardens and area

Vintage clawfoot tub in the Oleander Room

The Lost Bayou Guesthouse has several interesting paintings and antiques. A painting in the bathroom of the Oleander Room is by the owner's daughter. The clawfoot tub dates to 1926, and the old mirror came from the Shamrock Hotel in Houston.
