Jessica
Beautiful property, outstanding service, and great food!
Sam
This is a lovely plantation. When booking a room, also make sure to purchase tickets for the plantation house and museum these are not included in your stay. The restaurants and parking in the property is a long walk to your room, plan accordingly. Planning on eating onsite could be expensive, the food is ok nothing special.
Barry
If you are a light sleeper and you have a boisterous Neighbor, you might not get much sleep. We had trouble with our shower head and the staff was GREAT getting this issue resolved.
Stephanie
We loved staying at the Houmas House! Such a great experience and we loved walking through the gardens to access everything. Rich history, good food, great rooms and beautiful grounds!
Butch
Our first plantation stay. Stunning property. Beautiful architecture. Amazing staff. Delicious food.
The cottages are a bit remote from the main house, but courteous golf carts are always a phone call away.

Absolutely stunning plantation and gardens! The staff was the most helpful of any place I have ever stayed. Very relaxing environment and delicious restaurant. A REAL TREAT! Just wish we had gotten married there! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.. most amazing museum as well.
Marilyn
Very nice cabin; tastefully decorated and comfortable. The grounds are stunning and the tour of the house was excellent.
LYLA
We enjoyed our stay very much!
Janet
Perfect location for a few days touring local plantations. Beautiful well kept grounds with so many shaded sitting areas tucked away to relax and enjoy the property. My cottage was roomy, well appointed, comfortable and as a solo female traveler I felt safe. I am so glad I opted to stay here for my 3 nights in this area - it made for the perfect trip.
A full breakfast each morning in addition to a great restaurant on property - so convenient for long days of sightseeing.
One criticism breakfast cafe staff could be a little more friendly / helpful. Same experience each morning. Outside of that I experienced nothing but excellent service on property.

I have traveled all over the world and this is my favorite place.
The food is absolutely delightful! I am a chef and restaurant owner and I am completely blown away by the food!
I truly joy the entire atmosphere.The walking paths through the grounds are peaceful and gorgeous.
The cottages are beautifully decorated and clean.
If I could live here, I would. I come here 1 - 2 a year. This is my oasis away from the snowy tundra in Superior, WI.
The owner, chefs, staff, and grounds man are all personable and welcoming.
I love Houmas Plantation and can't wait to come back!

The sleeping accommodation was spacious, clean and inviting. Latil’s Landing was delicious and a delightful experience. The breakfast biscuits are to die for! The grounds were beautiful and the wildlife most entertaining!
Suzanne
Stayed here many times and it’s always perfect! Excellent service and meals at the Dixie Cafe and Carriage House too!!
JD
Clean room, excellent dining options. Very had working furry employees. Private patio not so private. Bring ear plugs if affexted by barge horn or train noise
Laura
Enjoyed our stay very much – the mansion tour was very informative
Connie
Beautiful property. Excellent in every way.
Craig
Everything was beautiful and peaceful. The bed was comfortable and the shower and soaking tub were so nice. The grounds were gorgeous. Breakfast buffet at Dixie cafe was delicious and the view out the huge windows enjoyable. The museum was great. Dinner at the Carriage House was also special. People were friendly and helpful. No crowds, quiet and serene.

Unique and Lovely Stay
What a treat! This is a place you come back to and just enjoy the grounds. Rooms are spacious and clean with beautiful landscaping surrounding and a quick walk to the on-site restaurants, gardens, and museums. Free breakfast and no pet fees were a huge plus! Would recommend trying to stay in a room that is not on River Rd if street noise bothers you. The road is quite busy and you can hear vehicles driving by at all hours.
Scott
What a fantastic stay bed was comfortable food was delicious and grounds beautiful
Michael
Our second visit to Houmas house was fabulous. We spent the night and had a fabulous dinner at the Carriage House. The food is excellent. The grounds were decorated beautifully for Christmas. It is a great place to spend time with friends. Love it!

We celebrated our anniversary at this lovely property. It was a very enjoyable experience. The grounds are beautiful. Our experience in Latil’s Landing restaurant was divine .
Kenneth
Beautiful Place
The grounds are stunning. The staff is very very friendly. The food was amazing. The only reason I gave it four stars was because there was zero water pressure in our room. The walls were thin and we could hear quite a bit from our neighbors. Other than that, we couldn’t have been happier.
Janina
Exceptional in every way. I would recommend any time and come back whenever I am in the area.
Steve
Awesome place
Amazing! Loved it! Highly recommend!

The property in the gardens were breathtaking. Rooms were very nicely appointed and clean. The breakfast was awesome, and the service and staff was very accommodating. One area for improvement is the Wi-Fi. It was absolutely terrible.
John
Can't recommend it enough!
The Inn is a great place and we thought it looked lovely on the website -- but it exceeded all our expectations when we actually stayed: beautiful decor, fantastic setting, spotlessly clean and the food on site is great too. To say nothing of the house tour, bar, friendly and helpful people working there... a really fantastic place to stay
Nancy
Nestled alongbthe Mississippi, this planration house, its harden, cottages and restaurant are a true oasis.

Verified traveler
Great room and service only complaint would be water pressure in shower
Mark
Loved the room. The only problem is that our room was right next to the road. Traffic started at 5 am. It is their cheapest room but to much money for the noise so early in the morning.
Dennis
Beautiful grounds
Lance
This historical plantation is so awesome! Loved every minute of our stay.
kristy
grounds are beautiful. The staff are very helpful, and the history is amazing.
I did not like the fact that they seem to have erased the fact of servants and slaves on the plantation.

Gaye
The property is beautiful and unique. The Inn was great as were the restaurants. The entire ambience is relaxing and special. Some of the processes could use improvement such as Check In - why have to call ahead and then be asked \"you're coming tonight? Before 8??\" Not exactly a warm welcome first impression. Upon arrival, where is check in anyway?? Dark, no sign as to check in location. Dark walk to the Inn. Dinner reservations made far in advance. Was stopped and questioned in an unfriendly manner as we walked to restaurant as to whether we had reservations like we were trespassing - said it was to \"let the restaurant know we were coming\" Got to restaurant - were asked if we had reservations. So all that gestapo business still didn't inform the restaurant we were walking over. Same attitude with home tour. Booked a specific date and time 10 days ahead. Then were told we \"might not be able to go on the tour as the line had formed\". What??? we milled around 10 min ahead of tour time. People walked up that day and then you want to boot us? No good instruction on tour process. (House tour should be included in an Inn stay). Point is - we felt talked to like kindergartens where the \"processes\" were concerned. These items are easily remedied with better training of staff in Client Services. Otherwise, a wonderful stay! Love the animals!
Ed
What a beautiful location and accomodations were extremely nice. Not too fond of the swarms of mosquitos but i grew up in Louisiana and they are to be expected. Staff was very helpful and the complimentary breakfast was awesome. The best creamy grits ive ever had!
Ron
The garden and house are beautiful, although there are signs of neglect associated with the facilities. Stayed in unit 1A. The inside was very clean and nicely furnished. Issue is units 1A to 3A and 2A to 3A front river road and the traffic is very very loud during the day and night. Tried to get a room change but they had no units available. Couple other items; Requested a lift to dinner (service provided to pick you up at your room and take you to their restaurant) never showed up (they said he was busy). Although the food was very good, service at the Carriage House was poor (did not seem to care).

Great day trip or Overnight
Houmas House is a fantastic activity. The grounds are well maintained, the restaurants are outstanding, the Inn at Houmas are excellent with the exception of road noises. We were given a room next to River Road. Vehicle noise were loud.

Great place to go relax and unwind. Great food , and the turtle bar an excellent place to have some drinks and get to know other people.
Kerry
Loved it
It was amazing. Very friendly staff. The grounds were beautifully peaceful. We toured the house with Rudy who was delightful. Loved that it is privately owned by someone committed to keeping history alive. Would recommend to anyone looking for that extra touch.
Saulene
The place was amazing! Surrounded by amazingly beautiful gardens, silent at night, clean and comfortable room. Absolutely worth a visit!
Suzanne
Our 2nd Stay At This Gorgeous Property!
Our 2nd stay here and it’s perfection! Room was comfy, clean and everything you want for a restful sleep. The on-site restaurants are fabulous! We had the buffet breakfast 2 mornings at the Dixie Cafe and dinner at the Carriage House - all 5-star experiences. Highly recommend!
Gary
the service was phenomenal.
the only thing i could suggest is to have a small refrigerator in the room for people who have to keep medication cold.

Houmas house always amazing and well maintained property
Anita
It had beautiful gardens. The room initially did not have a shower cap. I asked for one at the desk and was told they did not have any. Upon leaving I found a cap.
The food was very good. One restaurant only had a 5 course dinner option. My spouse and I shared one dinner since I weigh 82 lbs. and fill up very quickly. I also forgot my luggage and they could not offer me even a tooth brush. .

it was great thanks for the golf cart transportation for us older folks.
John
This property is amazing with luxury detail to everything. The decor is French colonial and the gardens are recreations of Versailles. The beds are exceptionally comfortable and the bathroom modern with a large shower. No detail has been overlooked. The thing I enjoyed most was the River Road Museum which comprehensively covers the history of the area. I was amazed to see the death mask of Napoleon there. If anything was lacking it was the buffet breakfast but all buffets to me are in enjoyable. I will be back. It’s a great way to show visitors the opulence of the plantation owners achieved through free, slave labor. Hats off to the creators of Houmas House and it’s restoration.
Suzanne
Outstanding Experience and Stay
Could not have been a better stay and experience-cabin was lovely, food was outstanding and the gardens and seeing Houmas House itself were well worth our trip.
Franklin
2nd day stay
Unable to find 1/2 and 1/2 for coffee during breakfast. Otherwise everything was better than expected and the views were worth the 2nd day stay.
Thomas
Very nice - great accommodations.
The surroundings are a bit touristy / gardens a bit tacky. Dinner could have been better - and very disappointed in the restaurant staff allowing a very large group of individuals to stand blocking the exit talking in very loud voices without masks. They should have been asked to move outside to continue their conversation or asked to return to their table.

Danielle
Houmas House provides a unique experience, but the room was minuscule with just one double bed . The truck traffic on River Road kept me awake from 4am onward. Try to request a room as far away from the road as is possible. The meal at Carriage House was outstanding.
pam
Lovely surroundings
Guest cabins are brand new and nice, though small. Guests are at the mercy of the guy with the golf cart; cabins are not close enough to walk to house tours or dining. They excel at being an event venue; gardens are really incredible, food at carriage house was delicious. Not a place you would normally visit except for a wedding or to tour Houmas house
Marcia
Highly recommend Houmas House.
Truly amazing property. Everything you could ask for. Comfortable well appointed rooms, set on 38 acres of beautiful gardens with fountains and artwork, a plantation mansion, 3 restaurants, a bar, gift shop and a museum. Plus, they have a golf cart shuttle service to ferry you around if you wish. Friendly staff. Mansion tour included with your stay.
Brian
Beautiful property and buildings. Impressive collection of arts and antiques in the big house.

The property is lovely, every detail has been saved and exposed for you to admire. A lot of history in the main building. Newer areas have been added keeping harmony. The owner is such good man, we got our drinks at the bar on the house.

Weekend Getaway
Our stay was a one nite weekend getaway and it was everything we hoped. Grounds were wonderful, our tour guide and tour were very informational and we learned alot about the plantations history and how it came to be so grand. Gardens and grounds were extensive. The restaurant was EXCELLENT, the food was great and the service was wonderful.
Verified traveler
Our stay was disappointing. The check in staff was unfriendly and we did not get the King sized bed we had reserved. She begrudgingly gave us museum tickets instead. We were not offered golf cart transportation to our room, which was offered in our last visit. When we went to the bar, the bartender seemed confused and the hostess at the restaurant was just rude when we said we didn’t have reservations - it was like we were bothering her - and the restaurant was not even half full. Our wait staff was the first welcome we received and she did a great job. The food was very good and the room was lovely. Our first visit was so wonderful we know that it can be much better than it was - it is all about making people feel like welcome and valued visitors. Most of this staff did not do that.

We arrived late in the evening and had trouble finding check in. The facility needs specific signage. Otherwise, WOW! We had a great stay, fantastic breakfast and a kind and helpful staff who all spoke highly of the owner. My 15 and 11 year old boys loved the experience. We loved all that the B&B had to offer. Thanks so much.

This place isn't really run as a hotel thats charges $250 per night. It exists as a tourist attraction with rooms. Dinner was pretty dreadful. Crab claws were rock hard in batter. Shrimp and Aubergine dish slathered in horrible sauce and the prawns tasteless and undercooked and almost certainly frozen. We went into dine at 8.15 and the feeling was they wanted to get us out asap. The entrees arrived before we were even half way through crab starters! Breakfast similarly poor. Eggs benedict again smothered with some horrible cream spinach sauce. It completely suffocated the hollandaise sauce. The whole place needs to work out if wants to be a top hotel and ask if laminated menus play a part in that. It is such a shame because the buildings and dining room are impressive. My recommendation is do the tour of the plantation house and spend your money staying somewhere else. We arrived to check in pretty late and struggled to work out that reception is really the counter in the gift shop. Sums up the whole experience of Houmas House
