Less than two (2) miles off Interstate 20, just behind "Salvation's Cross" in Rayville, LA...
Our home was built by Mr. J. L. and Mrs. Gladys Keys in the 1970's. Mrs. Gladys used to work for my Grandmother at the local ladies dress shop. She and her husband often brought us fresh vegetables they raised on their "little piece of heaven." They had no children and all these years later, their idea of heaven became ours to take care of now. We are so blessed here at Payne Lane Farms.
You can safely camp in your travel trailer minutes off of I-20 on our wooded, rural lot minutes from town, convenience stores, food, and even dump stations.
The front orchard provides a refuge of shade and privacy while also allowing you to see everything around you. Rayville, Louisiana has great history and heritage and some fun artifacts to explore if you have an adventurous spirit. Good people and family owned businesses if services are needed while enroute-traveling.

Host Jen was quick to reply to my concerns. She offered a resolution that, though it would have cost me quite a bit more, would have helped me out with a detail I missed in the listing. When that resolution turned out to be unavailable at the last minute, Jen helpfully reminded me that it was my mistake in the first place and honored the original charge with no further inconvenience to the host. I wasn’t able to use the reservation or be refunded, however intend to book these accommodations again when my attention to detail improves! (Thanks Jen for the good advice!) Even as a self-described new host with a recently purchased and expensive property, she is very committed to justice and it’s always so refreshing to meet someone who keeps us on our toes! Policy is policy! Five stars and thank you so much

I enjoyed my stay at Williams. I had the place to myself for the night. It was very nice to allow my dog to run free off the leash. The summer heat in September was still in the 90s, but the outside shower came in clutch to cool off and refresh. It was the first time my dog saw a horse! I think shes mesmerized. Only downside would be the bugs. Make sure you bring some spray. I didn't realize how bad I got chewed on until a few days later. There is a train that passes by so be aware of that for anyone that's trying to completely get away from city life.

Don't use google maps to find the place. Use the mail box numbers. The best thing about this place is the feeling of security. Just across the street is a very nice neighborhood and if you keep walking you get to a huge cross on IH20. The hosts were very nice and accommodating.

Weekend Trip to Bayou Choo Choo and Bayou Views
A last minute trip turned into an amazing adventure! Bayou Choo Choo was a wonderful experience. The experience starts when you round the curve and see the red caboose on the banks of the bayou. Climbing aboard transports you back to childhood. The decorations and details will melt your heart and make you chuckle in the same breath. The small space is laid out well and it feels bigger than it really is. Jen has put a lot of thought into the layout uses the small space well. There is a keurig, microwave and a fridge with freezer. The bathroom is small, but I am a big guy and had no issues. The shower feels bigger than it is. Jen was available to help answer questions and even provided some restaurant recommendations.
Although we can to watch baseball, we found our way to the Chennault museums, did some shopping and walked along the bayou. Jen was gracious and kind. We reached out to book a place to stay and feel like we made a friend.

Bring along the kiddos, who will play all day at the playgrounds or in the expansive swimming complex. Kids and adults will enjoy fishing for freshwater fish in Big Slough Lake, hiking on the hard-packed nature trail, or searching for wildlife in the park’s secluded hidden corners.
