    We stayed here for 3 nights while visiting Lafayette. I wanted to stay in a historical home and this was pretty historical. There were several pros and cons though and I personally would not stay here again. First the pros. Breakfast was fantastic. We left too early to get breakfast the 3rd morning, but the 2 mornings we ate there it was amazing. The first day was a French toast biscuit with sausage and an egg. They had fresh preserves and orange juice out, as well as all the local accompaniments like cane syrup and Tabasco. The 2nd day they made shrimp and grits and a side of fruit with a biscuit. That was phenomenal! The rooms were gorgeous and like stepping back in time. The house was very quiet. We stayed on the 2nd floor in the Voorhies room. The balcony with the swing was neat too. Cons. These rooms had no air conditioning, and if it did it wasn't on and we were miserable. We could not sleep. I had to open the balcony doors to get air.... But then the mosquitos!!! It was awful. Water pressure in the shower is non existent. I could not wash my hair here. We highly dislike eating in a group table/ family sitting for breakfast. I ended up catching a cold and I don't know if it was because there was no airflow in the house, cramped at the breakfast table or what. Also, there are no locks on the doors! So when you leave for the day anyone could go into your room. I didn't like that at all.

    Charming and quaint. We had the large Atchafalaya room on the second floor, which included a sitting area and bedroom. Highly recommend it and staying inside the home. There was live creole band when we arrived. Beautiful touch! Do not miss the homemade breakfast served promptly at 830am. Biscuit, sweet grits, eggs!

    Born and raised in Lafayette, I was not aware this place was there. My grandparents lived on Sterling and still I did not know this was there. My sister found this place and suggested it and it was quite comfortable. We were in town for a couple days to take care of family matters. I enjoy the history surrounding the property as well as the history of Lafayette. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was great and it was good to meet people from around the world. I would recommend Mouton's Plantation and will plan to stay next time I'm in town with the dogs, because they will love it also.

    We were seeking refuge from torrential rain on I-10 and decided to stop in Lafayette for the night. I made a last minute reservation at the Mouton Plantation Bed and Breakfast where John greeted us at the door. We checked into the lovely Voorheis room on the second floor of the main house. We were too late for social hour but were serenaded by the lovey live music we heard from our room. Very talented musician! Since we had to get on the road again this morning before the 8:30am breakfast service, we missed the shrimp and grits. The table was already started and looked lovely. Fortunately we were able to get coffee for the road. This historic home in the center of Lafayette is definitely worth a stop!

    We stayed here for 2 nights, and booked Victoria room. When i trying to make the reservation, i couldn't find the square footage of the room, so i called the office to check. But it's Sunday, no one pick up the phone. So i hang up. Surprisingly, few minutes later i received a call back, and base on availability, he recommended Victoria room. I'm happy when the door opened, it's not in the main house, but it's on the ground level with a nice sized room, a lot of space and unique bed frame, the Mattress is very comfortable. We had free breakfast included in the room rate, 1st day was biscuit & gravy, freshly made. It looks delicious, but I'm reluctant to eat as I'm trying to control my carb intake. So the servant kindly cooked me one fried egg and one breakfast sausage patties. I certainly feel i can eat more, but i don't want to both him again. The host John is very nice, on our day of arrival, he took time to play several music instruments for us, and he also had a very nice voice. The 2nd day, he also made us his favorite boudin, it's actually taste better than the restaurants! We had a lovely time staying here.

    My husband chose this property based on reviews from Airbnb. Upon arrival, the overall upkeep of the property left a lot to be desired: the landscaping needed attention, the trimwork needed painting, and our assigned room was "shabby chic" - with the attention being more focused on shabby. Our room had a roach/waterbug in the bathroom, and I was awakened by water dripping in my face from a leak in the ceiling. We discovered that it was from the shower in the unit above us. The owner did respond by stating that he would seek to give us a full refund. We will be waiting.

    What a delightful place to stay. A gorgeous property & an awesome staff. Our room was the Empire room with a giant bathroom. The bed was very comfortable & the pillows were fabulous. We were served a delicious breakfast. If you want a bit of history & charm, I highly recommend this place.

The place is constructed of exclusively wood, exposed brick & old sheet metal. It had an immediate charm about it for sure and overall would be a great place for an event. We parked in the large lot on the same plot as the building. My first reaction to the place was how cool and aesthetically pleasing it is - especially for the little neighborhood it's in:/ They've got a relatively large, healthy lawn in the back with the the little bulb lights that everybody likes. There was also a stage out back but it wasn't being used when I was there. From the parking lot you take a few steps up to the floor level of the wrap around porch. As you actually enter the building you enter into the smaller of the two main chambers. There will be a bar to your immediate right and the larger, stage room to our left. Naturally there was a band playing in the larger, banquet style room. As mentioned it had a stage on the far end and also a bar with plenty of open space for seating/dancing/tom-foolery. On a quick side note, the bar had a quite expansive and modestly priced assortment of your typical offerings. I will say the bartender I had knew nothing about the local beer much less helpful wine and spirit suggestions - he was friendly though :) Another quick side note, the caterer, The Habana Club, was EXCELLENT and offered extremely delicious and authentic Cuban fare. DEFINTELY check them up if you're in the area and into that sort of thing. TL;DR Definitely worth using for a private party or trying to get into the next local event they're hosting. Until next time.. CHEERS !!!

Originally the event was suppose to be held here but it was changed by the management team due to maintenance. Assistant Beth Maitland embodied the most disrespectful, undermining, distasteful, unprofessional, unpleasant, and harassing behavior. She stayed the whole time at the event and expressed these nasty behaviors. I have never experienced this event before. I will never recommend anyone to book here or work an event connected to this establishment. I and all of the guests did not feel welcome. Everyone was uncomfortable and had horrible stories to say about Beth's behavior. I strongly believe it was due to discrimination. I have proof of everything I am stating. An example; As I was preparing dishes, Beth grabbed a piece of bacon out of a wrapped pan without my permission. The sense of empowerment and entitlement allowed her to perform in these ways. I am a professional first who owns a catering company. This is not how you conduct busines.. This is beyond sad and disgusting.

I tried to book tickets but found that the website said "sales ended." It may be a long shot, but I gave them a call to see if I could get tickets. By this point, it was 4pm the day before the show. Daisy answered the phone and told me there were still a few seats and actually opened the sales so I could purchase tickets. That was impressive to me. We got there early and were welcomed warmly by costumed employees. The actors were already in character. The bartender went above and beyond to keep us happy, even recommending a place within walking distance where we could continue the evening after the show. The decor was very nice. We didn't figure out whodunnit (the team who did got cool prizes) but really had a great evening and would definitely recommend the facility and the murder mystery to anyone looking for a fun evening.

We figured the housekeeper was catching up on The Bold and the Beautiful. We were wrong. The housekeeping staff laid a carefully constructed trap by leaving the TV on LIfetime.

Instead, we got sucked into the vortex of trash television and the convenience of drinking beer from your bed. A shameful portion of our weekend was spent guzzling hazy IPAs from Parish and ridiculing life choices made by the actors on Marrying Millions. My husband and I had a blast!

Growing up, my…read moreparents were fond of them, so they've been a part of most vacations, and many of them tend to blend into one another. Vermilionville, however, stood out as one of the best, and is a memory I'll hang onto for a while. The attendants in period garb were friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer our questions. The woman with her spinning wheel even gave us a demonstration. She had taught herself to spin whilst working there and explained the excessive amount of hours it took to finish even one sweater. She also made it possible for me to try the bread pudding I'd been eyeing on the restaurant menu; she warned me they were closing in just 15 minutes so we rushed over and put our order in. Now, I'm not sure if their restaurant has its own yelp page so I'll just review it here. That pudding was the most delicious, most perfect bread pudding I've ever had, and I've tried quite a lot from some of the best places in NOLA. The top was crisply caramelized, and the center was a buttery custard infused with vanilla and cinnamon--an aromatic taste sensation. The server brought me two containers to go (an extra as I'd only asked for one!) and I was so excited to try it, I devoured the first one while wandering between the houses. There were some rather beautiful little homes, furnished with accurate historic decor, and I appreciated that we were able to look at things on our own, at our own pace, free from having to follow a guide. We visited on a day it was set to storm, but we were able to see most of the buildings before the sky opened up on us. We foolishly forgot to bring umbrellas of any kind, so we ended up darting between structures, and eventually taking refuge in the old church while the worst of the rain passed. It was atmospheric and memorable. We found some charming animals in a little barn--a donkey and two sheep and we said hello. There were even mushrooms, and among them we found a single chanterelle, so keep an eye out, fellow mushroom hunters! Lastly, you must leave adequate time to check out the gift shop. They have something for everyone, and much of it made by local artisans! I would recommend Vermilionville to anyone with an appreciation for southern history.

The picture was after we ate half, so you get plenty of food. Every thing we ordered was perfectly seasoned. The bread pudding with praline sauce was wonderful (also not pictured). We would definitely recommend the restaurant as its own destination! The restaurant hours are 11am-2pm and the historical views are available 10am-4pm. Enjoy!

Make a photo wall and invest in a 360 camera with quirky accessories. The wait time on the candles is ridiculous -we were told 3 days- most people don't have days to wait and paying $12 per candle to ship is ridiculous when you've already paid $50. My whole party was from out of town (1hr+ drive) and it's not realistic to think they should come back in town for a candle. I don't think currently how it is I would recommend anyone todo this activity - it's not very entertaining for this amount of money. The staff was lovely overall and the place was very clean. The gift shop is a mini Fluerty girl store ( kinda pricey) . The website needs to be updated to reflect current info- one staff member seemed to be a lil frustrated with our questions.
