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.

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!

We decided to stop by and look at the place. We really liked the place and made plans to come back. Fast forward about 5 wks after that initial finding and a small group of us are headed back out to the B&B. Some stayed at the Barrow House itself while me and a friend stayed across the street at Printer's House. We had a private bath and parlor. Also had a kitchen that was available to us. The Barrow House was the most comfortable and enjoyable bed and breakfast experience that I have had in recent years. The rooms are very large and clean. It has the cozy feeling of staying in someone's home but guests also have complete privacy. Shirley and Chris are wonderful and really know how to run a B&B (which isn't easy). St Francisville is one of the most charming cities in Louisiana. The Barrow House is a great asset to this unique city.

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 Saint Restaurant & Bar is located within the St. Francisville Inn…read more My Wife and I eat here at least once or twice a year, which began in 2024. It is easily in our top 5 favorite restaurants. It would also be within the top 3 or 5 best restaurants we've eaten at. I think it has gotten better since we started visiting, which is saying a lot. The restaurant is now getting recognized by Michelin and was recently added to their Michelin Guide. I will have to see if I can locate additional photos I have taken over the years. We have been at this point, June 2026, about five times. Every time we go the food and service is 10/10. We always start with the Baguette, Bisque and Sensation Salad. If I had to choose one dish to order it would be the Bisque. I could make a meal out of it with the Baguette. It is one of the 10 best bites of food I have ever had. It's the best thing on the menu in my opinion and luckily it's a main stay. As far main dishes go we have had varieties of their steak, pane'd veal, pork chop, pasta and fish. All were amazing. When it comes to desserts we typically get the flourless Chocolate Torte (when available) and the cheesecake.

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.
