Customer Reviews
Probably the best plantation in all Louisiana. The tunnel view of live oak trees is simply amazing! The house is very nice along with the cabins. Lots of history at this place. Also, check out the gift shop which has treats and souvenirs.
The 250 year old live oak lined lane rivals the opulent plantation house in magnificence! Many furnature pieces are original. The dining room's ceiling fan is remarkable. Great photo opportunities from the second floor wrap around verandah. The slave quarters cabins are filled with artifacts and vital interpretive information. Property has a gracious restaurant and fun gift shop. Try the complementy moonshine samples!
You've seen the pictures, you've seen it in movies, you have an expectation of what it will be. When you get there it holds up and is just overwhelmingly interesting! I highly recommend a visit to this plantation! Take the guided tour. It's informative and interesting. Well worth the entrance fee! Photographers's note: most people think to get that iconic picture they need a wide angle shot. Stand far back in the lane between the trees and actually zoom in a bit and you will get the compressed shot I'm sharing here. Enjoy!
