"A Gem of LA Plantations"

Reviewed November 08, 2024 NEW

My husband and I stayed for two nights in one of the cabins that are set off to a private side of the 36-acre grounds. Our cabin was beautifully furnished including a king-size bed. We had complete access to the gorgeous gardens. Tours of the house and self-guided museum are an extra cost. The house tour guide told us there were many weddings held on the grounds and the season for the weddings was about to begin. A hearty buffet breakfast at one of the restaurants, the Dixie Cafe, was included. The Dixie Cafe overlooks part of the gardens. We had a delicious dinner each night at the opulent Carriage House. The owner, Kevin Kelly, was out each day during our stay on his golf cart with his two friendly dogs. He is an amicable person who hosted an election night dinner for his friends at the Carriage House. We would highly recommend at stay at Houmas House.
