Known as the Crown Jewel of Louisiana’s River Road, Inn at Houmas House, Plantation Country is an outstanding antebellum estate, bursting with southern charm. The set location of many a film and TV show, actors such as Bette Davis and Chevy Chase have filmed here, so it may well feel more than familiar to you! When you’re not sightseeing, spend some time at leisure in the gardens, home to an ancient oak alley and year-round blooms. The dramatic and inviting Fountain Courtyard is another popular gathering place for guests. Dining at Houmas House is not just a treat, it’s an experience. Latil’s Landing Restaurant in the French House is over 230 years old with original beamed ceilings, cypress mantels, wood burning fireplaces and original wood floors. Feast on gourmet cuisine served upon Limoge china, soaking up the grand atmosphere that prevails. For less formal meals there is Cafe Burnside, serving everything from healthy salads and fried oyster po-boys to filet mignon, washed down with a mint julep perhaps or a glass of wine served from the estates very own wine cellars.

Our stay at Houmas house was excellent! We stayed in a carriage house and the rooms were updated well decorated. We ate dinner two nights at the carriage house restaurant. The food and service were great. The staff throughout the site were friendly and helpful. We went on the mansion tour and Rudy was a very knowledgeable tour guide. Really enjoyed the tour and learning the history. The garden and wild life on site were beautiful. We also enjoyed the self guided museum tour. Highly recommend a stay at Houmas House.

We stayed at Houmas House Inn for my husband's birthday. This was just such a fabulous stay all together. The Inn, the grounds, the dining options, the Turtle Bar, were all amazing. We were able to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The staff was courteous and so helpful. Already planning for next year.
Wow and Wow for a Louisiana home welcome

We have visited Houmas House many times through the many years before there was there a homestead, beautiful garden, or even the turtle bar opened. Can I say we stayed overnight and what a magical place. A place to say I am going to get away from it all and just enjoy. This is the place. The Gardens, the Home, the settings, the restaurants are all meticulous and in place to do one thing. It says welcome to my home.
The rooms were exceptional. Only warning if you do get a room by the road, well it goes with the territory and the noise did not bother us at all knowing how special the place is.
The place made us feel like family. The restaurant and staff were professional and exceptional.
Thank you... and hopefully - see you soon.

The grounds are beautiful and the number of water features on premises was very pleasing. Happy to see some of the history of a former time remains.
