My husband and I had a fantastic day at the Houmas House! We had lunch at the carriage house which was excellent and the service was on point. Then, we took a tour of the beautiful gardens with winding paths and serene water features.
Afterwards, we went on the house tour with Ruby who was super knowledgeable as well as engaging as she stepped us back into the past! At the end of the day, we had cocktails at the charming turtle bar, the bar tender made a fantastic French Martini!
We felt very welcomed into the house and made to feel as if we were guests, by the entire team, which extends from the gracious owner from the beginning of our visit to the end… as Chad, the grounds manager, helped us to find a lovely driver, Dana Grayson, to get us back to our hotel, an hour away!
We highly recommend a visit to the beautiful Houmas House Estate & Gardens!

Whitewashed tour. They conveniently left out the part of all the enslaved individuals who were forced to live their lives on this property. It is privately owned by someone who lives on the property and they are paying for it by allowing tours and events here for a profit. The tour guide was great and it’s obviously a beautiful structure, but why leave out the most significant part of Louisiana plantation history? I recommend everyone looking for some real history that isn’t just a money grab to go to a state run historic site where they actually care about the truth of Louisiana history and take pride in the originality and authenticity of the structure/property.
In response to the owner/management: There shouldn’t be a separate museum/story regarding enslavement. That’s what White People did to the enslaved back then—separate them, make them, and treat them lower than, just like how the plantation owners/family were the highlight of the tour. Not trying to tell you how to run your business, but I do hope you re-do the script for the tour to include the full history of this property.

Came here to celebrate a birthday at Carriage House and get a tour of the estate and museum. It was the BEST day! The owner and his team are TOP NOTCH and took care of every request big or small that we had. The restaurant provided so many great food options I couldn't decide what I wanted to eat first...
The tour guide of the estate gave fantastic details in the life of 18 century living and showcased many historical pieces of the home during the tour.
We will ABSOLUTELY be back to celebrate and already looking forward to it.
Again, thank you to the team for making this birthday so special. We truly appreciate it.

Interesting place to see way of southern living in 18-19 centuries. Unfortunately there were no historically preserved rooms, no original furniture, and there is a little story behind the tour. I put 4 stars only for the beauty of place and gorgeous gardens. From learning perspective i would recommend to find other plantations with long history.
