Very few places bring this much peace to my soul, like Labelle Rivière B&B has done the last 2 days.

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.

I highly doubt many people are coming down this way, but if you do, & you get a chance, stay here. It's quiet and full of history, the good and the ugly, but without a doubt, a must visit. The attic used to contain hundreds of artifacts and history pieces but the owner sold all of it unfortunately... I remember finding out Santa wasn't real here, haha, having an Easter egg hunt with my classmates, and there are always used to be tons of weddings taking place here :) if you get a chance to check out the bowling lane please do! It's very interesting

EXCUSE ME. WHERE IS THE LOVE BUTTON?…read more This is my favorite hotel in the whole state! I stay at hotels pretty regularly in New Orleans (which is known for having wonderful boutique hotels and B&B's) and the Fairfax tops them all. Cheryl always is friendly and courteous every time I come there! There are only SIX rooms in this plantation house built in 1852 but they are six magically captivating rooms! Rates are reasonable and of course come with breakfast (and free wifi). I usually can get the Fairfax or Murphy Suite for $169/ngt. The other four rooms are very comfortable as well. There is also a bar area with tables and chairs next to the lobby. The city of Franklin is a very peaceful and charming town with lots of character. New Iberia is only 25 miles away if you want to make a day trip to a bigger city with more shopping/dining options. This is my escape from all the noise and traffic I usually am encountering in the French Quarter. A beautiful and romantic place to stay away from it all. I really recommend the Fairfax House to anyone seeking a different kind of stay than your usual modern chain hotels.

She gave me a quick tour of the property on the way to my cabin - we passed 8 shotgun houses nestled underneath a canopy of pine and trees. 100 years old - each one - but equipped with chilly central air, warm water, beautiful furnishings. Crickets were singing its praises. I was the only one on the property - she'd warned me - but didn't realize what that would mean until I arrived. Tucked down a rock road, just off Highway 22, I would indeed be alone in my cottage in the woods - but felt quite safe. Slept great. Heading to the Coffee House for my breakfast (included).

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.
