The Inn at Houmas House Estate

A wonderful plantation house to visit (privately owned and filled with stories) and a great inn to stay in as well. A tip - make sure to make dinner reservations when you book as there are two restaurants on site and they get booked up. One is fine dining in the old French part of the house and the other is in a beautiful room called the Carriage House.

grounds are beautiful. The staff are very helpful, and the history is amazing. I did not like the fact that they seem to have erased the fact of servants and slaves on the plantation.

The property is beautiful and unique. The Inn was great as were the restaurants. The entire ambience is relaxing and special. Some of the processes could use improvement such as Check In - why have to call ahead and then be asked "you're coming tonight? Before 8??" Not exactly a warm welcome first impression. Upon arrival, where is check in anyway?? Dark, no sign as to check in location. Dark walk to the Inn. Dinner reservations made far in advance. Was stopped and questioned in an unfriendly manner as we walked to restaurant as to whether we had reservations like we were trespassing - said it was to "let the restaurant know we were coming" Got to restaurant - were asked if we had reservations. So all that gestapo business still didn't inform the restaurant we were walking over. Same attitude with home tour. Booked a specific date and time 10 days ahead. Then were told we "might not be able to go on the tour as the line had formed". What??? we milled around 10 min ahead of tour time. People walked up that day and then you want to boot us? No good instruction on tour process. (House tour should be included in an Inn stay). Point is - we felt talked to like kindergartens where the "processes" were concerned. These items are easily remedied with better training of staff in Client Services. Otherwise, a wonderful stay! Love the animals!

Another fabulous two nights stay. Great dinner at the Carriage House. Everything was top notch.

I LOVE HOUMAS house it’s so beautiful & breathtaking the staff & tourist are so FRIENDLY !!!! Plus the Food is DELICIOUS, free Breakfast was awesome the BEST !!! Then the carriage house was & always is DELICIOUS & FANCY !!! The Boutique or Gift Shop has the MOST UNIQUE & amazing gifts plus the WAX MUSEUM is INCREDIBLE & VERY INTERESTING the history is the most informative & enjoyable stuff to read about & also look at we loved OUR stay & we will DEFINITELY GO BACK & STAY again !!!

Loved the room. The only problem is that our room was right next to the road. Traffic started at 5 am. It is their cheapest room but to much money for the noise so early in the morning.

What a beautiful location and accomodations were extremely nice. Not too fond of the swarms of mosquitos but i grew up in Louisiana and they are to be expected. Staff was very helpful and the complimentary breakfast was awesome. The best creamy grits ive ever had!

The garden and house are beautiful, although there are signs of neglect associated with the facilities. Stayed in unit 1A. The inside was very clean and nicely furnished. Issue is units 1A to 3A and 2A to 3A front river road and the traffic is very very loud during the day and night. Tried to get a room change but they had no units available. Couple other items; Requested a lift to dinner (service provided to pick you up at your room and take you to their restaurant) never showed up (they said he was busy). Although the food was very good, service at the Carriage House was poor (did not seem to care).

Great room and service only complaint would be water pressure in shower
