Very large room, full of amenities and a very comfortable bed. Not only are the grounds breathtaking, the cabin is superb. This is a hidden gem for sure. Breakfast and wine are options as added frills. We eat a plant based diet so not sure about breakfast but it's probably good. We went to Petra's for dinner and were very happy with quality of food and service. The following day we did a hike recommended in visitors book. Our favorite part of stay was sitting by the fire with the dog and two cats. This place is highly recommend if you're into nature and comfort.

KW is the owner and thinks of everything... I'm talking he had a bonfire all set up, with lighter fluid and lighter conveniently placed right next to it for whenever we desired. The kitchen is stocked with champagne flutes, wine glasses and mugs. Two of the three cabins have jacuzzis. There are mid week specials to snag a deal but also luxury packages full with wine and breakfast. This cabin is absolutely idyllic. Must stay!

The initial presentation is a nice getaway to the country plantation life. Unfortunately when…read morestaying we came to realize each cabin is infested with bugs, one being covered in ants. The "continental" breakfast is a few stale croissants in a ziplock bag and expired orange juice. Turning to a highlight of an in house jacuzzi tub, don't expect the water to stay hot long enough to reach above the jets. Our tub button broke on first use. When mentioning to staff the front desk lady told us to figure it out with a broom. Also the older lady working in the front/main house should maybe rethink working in customer service.

I booked the Cook's Cottage for a little getaway weekend retreat. I planned to relax, read, walk…read morethe grounds with my small dog, sleep in, enjoy the ambiance. I was VERY disappointed when I got inside the cottage. Friends who have stayed at Butler Greenwood told me the cottages are a little older and rustic, but the pictures online looked charming. None of them had stayed at the Cook's Cottage might I add. I wasn't expecting a pristine, modern accommodation, but this cottage was closer to disrepair than rustic. Everything needs an update/upgrade/thorough cleaning. The sofa/chair slip covers were worn, dirty, and covered with random material squares where they were ripped, two of the three lamps were broken at the top so the shades tipped over to the side, the entire cottage aside from the bathroom was carpeted in old blue office carpet with some throw rugs on top. There were various prints and blankets covering the wall, one I noticed was taped on the glass where it had cracked. Cobwebs and dust were visible on many of the old wall hangings, the fireplace tools, the top of the mantle. There were dead bugs under the bed, in a kitchen cabinet with some random large pans, the air conditioner unit was old and only got somewhat cool no matter how low I tried to set it. The mattress on the bed was hard and probably thirty years old, the pillows stained and of the caliber of what they use in hospitals, the bathroom faucet and toilet were worn down and chipped, the jacuzzi tub faucets had such low pressure I had to run the water for over an hour to fill it enough to run the jacuzzi. Everything looked and felt dirty. There's mold on the shower door, a blue metal trash can that looks like something from a 1980s grammar school cafeteria would have used, a ceiling fan that could only be run with all of the overhead lights on. I thought about leaving the first night, but the weather was bad and it was already dark. I did ask Ms. Ann Butler, the owner, if I could move to another cottage, but she said all were booked for the next day. I had the opportunity to go look inside the Dovecoat cottage before the renters arrived, and it was one hundred times nicer than the Cook's cottage. Much cleaner, more light, renovated, more updated furniture and flooring. I cannot believe she rents these two cottages for the some price (she rents any of them for $150 if only one bedroom is used). I felt like I had been tricked as my place felt like a cheap motel. An old, dirty, cheap motel while the others appeared significantly nicer, more comfortable, up to date, etc. I spent Saturday walking the grounds, tried to swim (the pool was dirty and had mold on the stairs leading in), and enjoyed sitting on the back deck reading and looking at the lovely pond view. The grounds are lovely. As long as I was outside my cottage, everything was charming, pleasant, and nice enough. I chose to make the best of it for the day and then packed my things and drove home at sunset as spending another night in that cottage was not an option. I thought about talking with the owner about it, but I cannot imagine I am the first to complain about this cottage, and I could tell by her response when I asked about moving cottages she was not concerned about customer satisfaction. I am so disappointed and felt really swindled by the misleading website pictures. I am sharing some of my own so no one else makes the same unfortunate choice. From what I'm told, Chases's Cottage, the Pond House, the Tree house, and the Dovecoat (I can vouch for this one myself) are all lovely. The place is truly worth it if you can rent one of those cottages, but you would literally be better off staying at a 2 or 3 star hotel in the area than this cottage.

If you like staying in historic locals this is for you though! We stayed in the Governor's Suite. OMG, the opulence. And it was huge! We have never had such a large room. We've stayed in a lot of cool old places, but agreed this is by far the coolest! We agreed the pnly way we will top it is to return to Ireland, or elsewhere in Europe, and stay in a castle! I do wish the caretaker had been around, but only because I had questions about the house! The room had everything we needed though!

But that's probably because I've never been to a B&B before so I didn't know what to expect. Also the house is historic, including the interior décor. After I got past that, the experience was super cute. The house is grand and lovely. When you walk in, you just want to say, "Wow!" Honestly, the house is maintained pretty well for being super old. In addition, the bridal suite is so majestic. My husband and I didn't stay in that room but when we saw it, it was incredible! It was literally like another house. So beautiful. The bed and pillows in the room we stayed at were comfortable and smelled soooo good. Breakfast the next morning was my favorite part. My husband and I finally got to meet Linda. She is very sweet and a lovely host. The breakfast was adorable: fruit parfait, hashbrown casserole, sausage and egg croissants, fruit, bacon, and cinnamon rolls. We also got to chat and meet the other family that was staying there. It was just a nice start to our morning.

A visit to The Myrtles Plantation offers a unique blend of Southern history, architectural beauty,…read moreand just enough mystery to keep things interesting. The guided tour does a strong job of bringing the property's past to life. Set among towering oak trees and Spanish moss, the plantation itself is visually stunning, and the home's preserved interiors give an authentic glimpse into 18th- and 19th-century Louisiana life. Rainy Day our knowledgeable and engaging tour guide, was mixing well-documented history with the plantation's well-known ghost stories in a way that feels balanced rather than over-the-top. That said, expectations matter. If you're hoping for a purely historical deep dive, some of the supernatural elements may feel a bit dramatized. On the flip side, if you're looking for a full-on haunted experience, it's more subtle than theatrical. Overall, The Myrtles Plantation tour is a worthwhile stop for anyone traveling through Louisiana. It offers a memorable mix of culture, history, and atmosphere--especially for those who appreciate a good story along with their sightseeing.

The grounds of this plantation are beautiful. It was overly touristy.

Plan to take your time, walk the grounds, enjoy the views, sit on a bench and listen to nature, grab a quick or fancy meal at one of their restaurants, visit the museum.

Amazing Tour and Museum Experience…read more Houmas Plantation House is an amazing place to visit. We started our day early and had breakfast first. There's a simple American/New Orleans-style breakfast buffet with eggs, sausage, and grits, available from 8-10 a.m. The plantation opens at 9 a.m., and the first house tour starts at 9:30 a.m. The house tour lasts about an hour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. This was my second time taking the tour, and although the guides were different, they shared the same history in their own unique storytelling styles. Both were engaging and easy to follow. Don't forget to tip the tour guides--they do a great job. After the tour, we walked through the gardens in the morning. It's about a 45-minute stroll at a relaxed pace--walk, rest, and enjoy the scenery. Very peaceful. Later, we went to the Carriage House Restaurant, which has amazing food. The bar is also great--try the Houmas signature drinks, they're delicious. You can enjoy your drink inside or outside, then walk around more or relax. If one person wants to do everything--breakfast, museum and house tour, lunch at the Carriage House, and buy a few souvenirs--expect to spend around $150 or so. Overall, it was a great, peaceful experience, and I highly recommend it.
