Born in De Ridder, LA and raised in Houston, TX, Chris Cagle is an American Country Music Artist. He moved to Nashville in 1994. While in Nashville, the struggling Artist held down several jobs: nanny, waiter, prep chef, and golf caddy, among many others. During that time, he signed a publishing deal with Caliber Music. He had his first song, “I Breathe In, I Breathe Out,” cut by David Kersh within 8 months of signing his deal, but he wanted more. He wanted to be an Artist. That dream came true in 2000 when he signed to Virgin Records.

Cagle co-wrote and co-produced his debut Gold record, Play It Loud, which produced a top 10 single, “My Love Goes On & On”, a top 5 single “Laredo” and the #1 single, “I Breathe In, I Breathe Out”. His self-titled sophomore project debuted at #1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart and is certified Gold, as well as yielding two Top 5 singles: “What A Beautiful Day” and “Chicks Dig It”. Cagle penned additional albums that brought more success with hits like “Miss Me Baby,” What Kinda Gone”, “Got My Country On”, “Let There Be Cowgirls” and “Country By The Grace Of God”.

The Space

At Rent It Like A Saint, we don’t just offer a place to crash—we offer a home-away-from-home experience with a Louisiana flair. Like the Saints on game day, our accommodations are all about high performance. We’re talking top-notch, immaculate spaces with everything you need for a seamless stay. No matter if you’re a work crew on the move, a displaced homeowner, a medical traveler, or just looking for some R&R, we’ve got the charm and comfort to make you feel right at home, Louisiana style.

This home is definitely worth the money. After our long trip, it was refreshing to find the home, what appeared to be, professionally cleaned. Rent it like a Saint team were friendly and quick to respond if I had a concern. They provided everything needed for our extended stay. They also provided items for our pets. The home is in a great location and close to many restaurants and activities. I highly recommend this home.

No detail was forgotten here! From the extra laundry pods to the interactive touchscreen showing us amenities, helping me to remember the checkout procedures (which were blessedly simple ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ for that alone!)

Clearly labeled all kitchen supplies, plenty of plush pillows, bedding, throw blankets. The kids were fascinated by the electric fireplace 😂

Can’t think of one thing that was lacking in this property or the management of it.
