Otherworldly experience of revived historic home/grounds

Published on Jan, 2025

Included lunch had hearty, plentiful selections. Grounds were beautiful and decor inside home period appropriate, unique and fine quality. Our driver Rene kept us entertained. House tour guide missed some details like sculptures of Lincoln on chair soon after worked on Mount Rushmore. Wonderful experience.

Magnificent! Must do!

Published on Jan, 2025

This was a magnificent trip! Beautiful house and grounds! Schedule enough time to view in light and dark. The grounds are magical at night. Can’t say enough positive things about this trip. Skip Oak Alley if only doing one or other!

Magical Christmas Anniversary

Published on Jan, 2025

We visited for our anniversary. Everything was beautifully decorated for Christmas. We ate supper at the Carriage House restaurant. It was very good. Stayed in one of the cottages. It was a lovely room.

OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE...Our 2 teenage grands loved it too!

Published on Jan, 2025

We loved this experience at Houmas House Plantation. Our two grands (teenagers) had a blast too! Well worth the price and time invested in the tour and spending time roaming the grounds afterward.

The tour & gardens were so worth it and if you are a movie buff, 'Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte' was filmed here which the tour guide pointed out.
