From the time I arrived...back door open so I went snooping...until I left two wonderful nights later, this was a great vacation. The house is old (so ENJOY that) but very, very beautiful. I could have spent both days doing nothing but looking at the various antiques. Angie was a dream from reservations to arrival to dinner to breakfast! Keith... More

Nice plantation home to visit if you are taking a bayou plantation tour. Madewood is not as fancy as some of the river plantations, but it is representative of the style. Make Madewood part of a bayou tour down historic Bayou Lafourche which starts at Donaldsonville where it comes off the Mississippi River all the way to the Gulf of... More

We got on a boat at the Jean LaFitte Library in Thibodaux, and rode the bayou to the Plantation. Oh my, what a treat! This is one of the most beautiful places in southeast Louisiana, and is in my parish. Take a boat. See Madewood! You will not regret it!

Madewood is what you dream about when you dream about plantations and is my favorite plantation in the South. It is the traditional white wood with Ionic columns on the front of the mansion and Doric columns on the rear. There is also a guest house and a cemetery. We stayed in the downstairs bedroom with the original Mallard furniture... More

Spent one night at Madewood in the Mystery Lady Room. The home was beautiful, our rooms were clean and our beds very comfortable. Breakfast and Dinner were both excellent, both served one course at a time, plantation style. More coffee and conversation on the balcony overlooking the back lawn after breakfast was very relaxing and pleasant. The owner Keith extremely... More

Dee M My first visit to Madewood was Oct. 2000. I was in love with this beautiful B&B. My daughters accompanied me to revist and were blown over by the beauty of the home, the excellent food, and the experience of going back in time to plantation life as it was so long ago. Keith Marshall, the current owner, was... More

Beautiful Grounds and a great place to party. Way off the beaten path and the staff is a bit stuffy at best!

Note, I'm reviewing Madewood as an "attraction," not as a bed and breakfast. We did not stay here. We were on a bit of a plantation tour through Louisiana and went out of our way to visit Madewood. We pulled into the driveway, and rang the bell, as instructed by the sign. We were informed by the woman that they... More

My husband and I stayed at the Madewood in January. We were grateful for the warm welcome and the flexibility regarding our late arrival. The hosts were attentive throughout our stay. We were the only guests at the mansion the particular weekend we stayed, and we loved the experience. We also enjoyed the history, the breakfasts and dinner, and the... More
