About Us

A little slice of Louisiana, right by the water

Kershaw's Cajun Village has been a quiet stop along East Prien Lake Road for years — a place where travelers, families, and weekend visitors come to slow down and actually enjoy being in Southwest Louisiana.

We're not a chain hotel, and we don't pretend to be. What we offer is simple: clean rooms, a friendly face at check-in, and the kind of relaxed atmosphere that makes you wish you'd found us sooner. Whether you're passing through on your way to the Texas coast or here for a festival on the bayou, we'll make sure your night's rest is comfortable and hassle-free.

Guest Stories

What people say about staying with us

We were passing through Lake Charles on a road trip and stumbled on Kershaw's. Best decision of the trip — clean, quiet, and the people running it made us feel like family.

I come to Lake Charles for work every few months, and Kershaw's is the only place I stay now. It's honest, affordable, and nobody treats you like a number here.

Brought my parents down for a weekend and they couldn't stop talking about how nice and comfortable everything was. Already planning our next visit. Merci beaucoup!
