About Us

Once upon a time, Cajun Lake Lodge was a working catfish farm owned by the Duke family. Some 25 plus years ago, local folks paid fifty cents for a permit to fish for those wily, whiskered, bottom-dwellers and paid thirty-one cents for the young, experienced staff to "dress" their fish to take home for the evening's dinner. Many of the well-respected gentlemen and ladies of this community fondly remember fishing here as youngsters. These friendly lake catfish served a dual purpose back when --- they were also sold to Catfish Kitchen as dinner for lots of other hungry folks!! As you stroll around our grounds in today's world, you will see evidence of those long ago days: original catfish nets, signs, scales for weighing those big ol' fish, and old farm tools. It was known as Twin Lakes then and all the locals knew exactly where this was. Everybody smiled when they knew that they were goin' fishin' at Twin Lakes.

Ummmm.....smilin', fishin', local folks havin' fun...sounded like our Cajun roots to us! We just knew that this would be the perfect Cajun place, complete with Cajun lakes and a Cajun Lake Lodge. Our lakes and our rollin' hills are just waiting to share their beauty and their secrets with you.

We bought the property five years ago, built the main house that is now our home, and began to enhance the raw, rustic beauty that was just waiting for a face lift...and waiting for you. Our four bedroom lodge was the original farmhouse on the property; our party pavilion was where all the "fish-dressin' " action took place. The lake cabin and the three-tiered decking was added later to take advantage of both that beautiful view and that great fishing experience.

Thus, we now offer our Cajun flair to enhance the fun that you will have here as you party, and as you gaze out over our pristine lakes and relax in our lodge or cabin.
