Enjoy a weekend at the historic Dansereau House in Downtown Thibodaux, a mansion built in 1847 and situated near all sorts of shopping and dining. Or, opt for charming Sweet Elsa’s Bed and Breakfast, a welcoming cottage located within walking distance of local restaurants and just a mile from Nicholls State University.
A stay at the historic Bouverans bed and breakfast in Lockport will wipe away everyday stress with its nod to simpler times. Situated on the banks of Bayou Lafourche, this restored Creole cottage is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and includes a registered Live Oak on the property that is more than 300 years old. Rest your head on luxury linens, relish a gourmet breakfast, take a dip in the pool, or read a book on the veranda. In the town of Raceland, guests love Chateau on the Bayou, a cozy waterfront estate where you might just spot a lazy alligator lolling away the afternoon. Relax in a hammock, enjoy a belly-warming continental breakfast or sip a glass of wine here as the sun sets.
