"Enjoyed the Tour, Restaurant, and Inn"

Reviewed April 19, 2025 NEW

We stayed the night at Houmas House in a cottage, and were able to get the first tour the next morning. It was expertly guided by Susanna and we were able to ask as many questions as we liked. The tour was almost an hour-long. The furnishings of the house are 40% original and the rest are quite unique and are of the period. The owner has taken meticulous care in arranging all the rooms. I liked it that we could take pictures inside the house. The night we stayed at the inn, we ate dinner at the restaurant which I would recommend. Afterwards, walking back to our cottage, we strolled through the lighted gardens complete with many water fountains.
