    I have visited Nottoway several times over the years and keep coming back because I love this tour so much. Of all the plantations I've toured in Louisiana, the Nottoway "mansion" is the best! Seeing this grand building is a must do for anyone who loves architecture and history. The tour guides relay interesting history of the home and the family who had it built. The white ball room is captivating and romantic. There is a hole in one of the front columns of the house where a cannon ball from the civil war was lodged for many years before falling out. The family was approached to film scenes from "Gone With The Wind" at Nottoway, but the owners declined because of the disruption it would have caused the family and operations. I highly recommend this mansion tour!!

    ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT!!!! BEWARE!!! The manager, Angela, isn't qualified to operate a f%cking fryer at Popeyes, much less be in charge of one of the nicest historical plantations in the state. I was literally thrown out of my room an hour before my best friend's wedding. Had to relocate to a friend's room and sleep on a couch for my scheduled 2nd night stay, all due to piss poor management of their books and total lack of oversight from anyone with a brain. Enjoyed the cockroaches in my room.

    The American Queen could not dock in Baton Rouge due to low water levels. Notoway was the substitute port. We toured the slave built house. Our guide was excellent. The troubling part was the resort closed in early 2020 and the deferred maintenance on the 1859 house and surrounding buildings and property is self- evident. The pond and pool are full of scum and bugs. The gift shop smells musty. The rooms are all boarded up. The tennis court is sinking. Paint is peeling everywhere. I don't see it opening again without costly repairs.

    Beautiful property for tours ,dining, parties or overnight. One of the prettiest mansions in Louisiana in my opinion The staff is unbelievable helpful and let you know that you're welcome here. The restaurant serves delicious food in a beautiful setting. . Come to Nottoway you won't want to leave

    This is a beautiful, tranquil place to visit. I was in Baton Rouge for a Convention. They arranged a murder mystery dinner at the plantation for our final evening. What a creative and original idea! I loved every moment there. We first got a tour of Nottaway, and then we had dinner. The food was ok, but the murder mystery that unfolded between courses was well-written, easy to follow, and interesting. My table didn't win (although I personally guessed the killer!), but it didn't matter. It was still a fun and interactive experience. Three of the ladies at my table were local and had lost everything in the recent flood. Another lady at our table was a convention attendee from out of state and gave each of the three a gift card. Very sweet and endearing. Additionally it was the night before September 11th. This night was full of sadness, nostalgia, and heartfelt conversations, yet there was an element of fun to contribute to our experience. It was a heartwarming evening, filled with great conversation and new friends. The murder mystery reminded me of a cross between Clue and an episode of the Golden Girls. The grounds are beautifully landscaped. The mansion is in pristine condition. The furniture and art are beautiful and I would love to come back and stay here.

    Of all the Louisiana plantations we visited, Nottoway was the prettiest and most charming. It was located just outside of White Castle, a desolate town on the banks of the Mississippi, which is closer to Baton Rouge than New Orleans. Nottoway is a bright white Italianate antebellum home and sits facing the levee of the River. There are hourly tours (10% off with a AAA card) and you can spend the night there in the main house or in one of the cabins on the grounds. Nottoway has an elegant restaurant and cozy bar on the ground floor. Although I am generally not a fan of tours, our guide at Nottoway was a friendly, easy going local grandmother. She knowledgeably answered every question and when we expressed interest in going out on the upstairs balcony facing the River, she opened a big window and let us all clamber out. We learned a lot from her about the family that built the house and heard interesting anecdotes about life at Nottoway during the Civil War. If you have time for just one visit to a plantation home, I would highly recommend Nottoway over Oak Alley, St. Francis or Laura.

    This review covers only the Restaurant in the Main Plantation House. Please see my separate review for the Plantation itself. I enjoyed both Lunch and Dinner here last week and found that Dining on the enclosed patio was a special treat. The indoor dining room (and bar) are nice, but unfortunately throw off too much of a subterranean vibe, due to the lack of windows and low ceilings. At the same time, the food was consistently delicious and the service was friendly, efficient, and welcoming.

    My girlfriend, Ashley & I spent the night on Sat, April 21, 2018. We stayed in room 13 & it was absolutely gorgeous! The staff was so welcoming & was very eager to help. The brunch was top notch & the views were breathtaking! Such a relaxing spot whether its overnight or a week long getaway! Do yourself a favor & check out this gorgeous mansion & manicured property. Big thanks to Jennifer, Courtney & Mr. Bob for the wonderful hospitality! You guys ROCK! We will most definitely be back soon!!!

    " Beautiful, And Historical Experience " This historical Plantation sets on the most gorgeous grounds we have seen. It is Amazing. The Plantation is not just an historical site to visit, you can actually stay her overnight, for days, and even months, as it is also a Resort. They even have places to work out, walk, bicycle, everything. They also have a nice restaurant and a wonderful friendly staff. If you are coming to the New Orleans area of the country you have to take a side trip the White Castle, LA to see this Nottoway Plantation & Resort. It is worth it !

    This was my first time trying this place and I love it ! The Food = very tasteful , nice portions and presentation is very fancy. I ordered the crab cakes dinner portion and it was very delightful; my mom ordered bake fish w/crab cakes topped with asparagus cream sauce. The food was absolutely delicious! The customer service = absolutely wonderful ! All of the servers were extremely helpful and the atmosphere was perfect yet professional. Highly Recommended!!

    At this plantation they have a large gift shop and your choice of self guided or tour guided tours 7 days a week. The tour guides are dressed in period clothing which is always a nice touch. Depending on who you get the tour will be a little different from what I was hearing various ones speak. In my opinion the grounds and the home were nice, but I was under whelmed with how fast the tour was and for being such a large home how little you actually get to see. For the price I expected more. Needless to say I thought I was going to be more impressed with the grounds. The Houmas House plantation not that far away had nicer grounds for sure. At Nottaway there wasn't much to see besides the large home, the exterior of cabins you can rent, a cemetery, and a pool that was built for those who stay at the plantation. You can also rent out rooms in the large home, which is why I think the tour doesn't show much of the home. I'm not saying don't visit, but we ended the tour with a little disappointment. I think this was a one time visit for me.

    Christmas at Nottoway!

    See all

    Meh, glad we went, but would not book with them and cannot recommend. We decided to book and drive…read moreourselves there since it was a bit more expensive for us to drive than pay for three people to go from their office in downtown. They told us to be there 15 minutes before our tour start time and we were there 20 minutes before, but the tour guide was 10 minutes late past the start of the tour itself. We thought we were in the wrong place and tried to get in contact with the tour agency. Got voicemail the first time and it was this random woman's number, but then called the same number a minute later and a guy told us the tour operator was on his way and then needed to pick up the supplies. It seems that they should have communicated that earlier and they should have a better system in place. The launch from the boat area was into a busy area right under the freeway and our guide basically was like hangout there and wait for me. That foreshadowed the rest of the tour for us, he basically was distant from us most of the tour, either way in front or way behind and we were a total tour of four people. There was no discussion about what we would see beyond him showing us alligators. At one point we were in the deeper section and a massive log was in the way, he went over and faced the opposite direction while the four of us struggled to get our kayaks over the log. He told us to go around and we got stuck because it was more elevated on the side and just sat on his phone the entire time while we helped each other. I get we were a group coming together, but it felt like he just told us which way to go, but didn't do any real guiding. We even helped him load and unload the supplies from the kayak. I think this tour company needs to be better organized and train their guides on what they should do to become tour guides.

    I booked a private photo tour and a group kayaking tour. Both were outstanding. I got great photos…read moreand learned a lot.
