We only spent one night at the villas managed by Hawthorn Suites at the Carter Plantation, but it was a lovely facility. Actually the acreage is mostly made up of a beautiful golf course, with homesites for sale and some houses under construction. The clubhouse has a cute bar and restaurant where we were served a full breakfast which was included in our room rate of $107. Our room was part of Villa #5, we had a king bed and a huge bathroom. A bit of explanation should be listed at their website as it's confusing the way these rooms are set up. These villas each have about 7 or 8 rooms, and they share a common livingroom/diningroom/kitchen area. This is a perfect solution to families who would love to have a family reunion/vacation with lots of folks. The villas look like homes, with front and back porches, etc. Each room also has a mini frig and coffeemaker. We were in town for an event in Hammond, LA, and decided to stay here. Although it's a short drive to Hammond, we were very happy to have chosen this accomodation.
