One night at Bois des Chenes, and probably enough. Although this place could be described as interesting and 'quirky', at the end of a 200 mile drive, you want some comfort. We were shown to our room by our host, and it was right at the top of the house. We found out afterwards, that they didn't use this room... More

They market this place as a plantation house. But if you go thinking that you'll be dissapointed. The place is a little run down and go do with a good spruce up. We stayed in the outhouse rather than the main house, large room with basic facilities. If you're looking for something swanky, this place isn't for you. However the... More

We arrived a little early, but we were warmly welcomed. The Coerte recommended a place to eat dinner, and it was very good. The room was clean. It had a little musty smell, but that was from being closed up and older. It reminded me of my grandmother's house. The hospitality was gracious, the breakfast delicious, the conversavtion interesting, and... More

This was our first visit to Louisiana (January 5-17). After booking our flight to New Orleans, we discovered that the city was hosting the BSC Championships, and would be crazy with football fever, so we decided to get out into Cajun Country. We love to stay in B&B's, but sometimes traveling with our 3 children, it isn't always possible. After... More

Bois des Chenes markets itself as a plantation home. Technically it may be, but it wasn't what I expected. Its in the middle of the city and very small. We didn't get a tour and the owners didn't communicate well on the time for breakfast so we weren't able to enjoy it. To their credit they discounted our stay for... More

Coerte, Marjorie and their son, Kim, left us with very happy memories of our time with them. Delightful accommodation, delicious breakfast (I require gluten free food and Marjorie made the most amazing breakfast for me!!) and a very interesting swamp tour in very heavy weather that normally would have cancelled the trip. I can't thank Coerte and Kim enough for... More

Coerte and Majorie were wonderful hosts. We loved the porch swin on the gallery, sitting in the sultry evening air. Everything spotlessly clean, and the big breakfast was so good! French toast, cane syrup, and cajoun sausage...wow! We started with thieir son, Kim, on the Atchafalyala Experieince tour, which was the best! Wonderful birds, a whole new ecosystem for us,... More

The rooms aren't trimmed with gold , and the aircon's a bit noisy, but in terms of being made to feel welcome, I can't think of anywhere that beats Bois des Chenes. We were welcomed like family, not paying guests. I would thoroughly recommend this B&B and their associated swamp tours are fantastic....

I found this B&B online at the last minute and luckily they had a cancellation. The hosts were exceedingly charming and accommodating - and didn't even complain about our "late nights out" exploring the local music scene. The breakfasts were delicious. We went on the swamp tour that Courte and his son operate, and were impressed at their knowledge and... More
