Delightful and charming
The cottage was wonderfully furnished & comfortable. Be sure to take the plantation tour and spend time exploring the property while there. A taste of Louisiana history not to be missed. Loved it!
This place is amazing! Room is very cold and we loved that. The guy who works in the gift shop was very helpful and friendly

Fun last night in Nola!
After 5 nights near the french quarter, we decided to unwind for our last night. The corttage fit the bill. Nice and quiet, well stocked and almost like a mini adventure. The tour in the morning was informative. Great stop on our vacation!

Great Stay Filled with History
Greatly enjoyed staying at the Destrehan Plantation. As a history major, this place hit home with past history of pain and suffering within a tranquil setting.

Great little getaway
The cottage was perfect for one or two people. I just stayed one night but it was all I needed. The tour of the house was amazing! Ann was the best tour guide. Nice to have a discount tour ticket with the cottage. Very lovely stay.

Take some rest before to arrive to NOLA
The site was very nice, and we had the opportunity to visit the outdoors museum and have a guide tour the next morning before leaving .
The cabin was clean, cute, and very county- stile, but it was a pity that the furniture may not be moved, so we could not eat comfortably in the table. On the other hand, I recommend the property owners to update the pictures on the website or to paint the cabin's outsides to look better.
It was very affordable, clean, and included all of the necessities that would come with a hotel and actually a more. I would defiantly recommend and I will most defiantly stay again. You will not be disappointed!
Beautiful grounds and the house has a wonderful old fashioned feel to it. This house exceeded our expectations. Property management was so easy to work with and made the experience a breeze. Will definitely recommend to family and friends.

Cozy Home Away From HoE
We loved our stay at this little cottage! Learning it’s history was quite interesting! From the outside it looked so tiny but the space inside was more than ample! The bed was very comfortable and fridge came in handy for water. We could not have asked for a better place to stay during our trip. We enjoyed our tour of the plantation and walking the grounds. Walking the levy is enjoyable as well. I agree with a previous reviewer some rocking chairs on the porch would be lovely. Close drive to New Orleans. Recommend taking HWY 61 or 48 vs the interstate. You drive slower on the highways but with the stress and traffic of the interstate it takes the same amount of time. Property owner was very quick to get back to us with any information. Overall we HIGHLY this place to couples coming to the area.

Cozy Cottage
We were visiting to do work on area homes after Hurricane Ida. We wanted a quiet place to relax and rest. The cottage was perfect. The only thing missing were a couple of chairs on the porch. Sitting outside in the evening and enjoying the beautiful trees, listening to the frogs and watching the sunset was our favorite part of the day.

Communication with host was spot on. Very clear directions. Check in was a breeze. We got in late and they were more than helpful in giving us a later check out. We would absolutely stay here again!
