Lake Charles has something that appeals to every visitor: history and arts, festivals and food, outdoor adventures, and casino gaming - this exciting Louisiana city is sure to capture your heart. Located on a beautiful lake of the same name, Lake Charles has developed, while still recognizing its French Creole and Cajun roots. The beautiful historic downtown, with its stately Victorian homes, will make you feel as if you’ve stepped back in time. Accommodations are very easy to find and even feature plenty of family resorts for wholesome family fun! If you like gambling, staying in a hotel with or near a casino would also be a great choice.
However, while it remains rooted in tradition, Lake Charles is also moving into the future, with its cutting-edge casinos and inventive cuisine. Check out the following best Airbnb vacation rentals in Charming Lake Charles, Louisiana.

21. A luxury home perfect for a large group
If you’re looking to splurge a little on an Airbnb, this spacious home is well worth the extra cost. For 750 USD a night, you can book this three bedroom house for up to eight people. With a pool in the backyard that converts to a hot tub, this is the ideal location for a large group like a bachelor or bachelorette party, wedding party, or family gathering. It’s close enough to the casinos that you can see them from the windows, and also is nearby to Prien Lake Mall, with tons of stores and restaurants.
The house is located in a quiet neighborhood but has some restaurants in walking distance. Try out La Truffe Sauvage, which serves French-influenced food in a cottage, or Restaurant Calla, a gastropub, with artisanal dishes made from sustainable ingredients. This home is also a short stroll away from Walnut Grove, a premier neighborhood constructed to look like a walkable village, complete with stores, a post office, and more. It is built on the edge of an estuary where you can take a nature walk and see many kinds of birds, reptiles, and mammals.

22. An affordable home close to downtown!
This inexpensive option, in a brand new townhome, is perfect for a couple, solo traveler, or someone on a business trip. It has one bedroom and can accommodate up to three guests.

The house is easy to drive to from I-10 and you can let yourself into the home by an access code, sent by the host. It is located right down the road from the Isle of Capri Casino but costs about half of what it would cost to stay in a room there. This townhouse is on the west side of Lake Charles, so to reach the historic downtown, a car is necessary. However, right nearby is a main road, where there are multiple restaurants, fast food places, and grocery stores.

Aside from all the essentials — namely, cozy bedrooms and a well-equipped kitchen — you can find other fantastic amenities. There are two flat-screen televisions and WiFi access if you want to stream movies or shows. If you’re a gamer, you’d be delighted to discover there’s an Xbox console with a few video games.
This house is also perfect for those people who are coming to Lake Charles for work. There’s a dedicated workspace for you, and if you haven’t brought a laptop, you can use the office computer available inside.
