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
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.
Everything was great! Response times from host were fast. Gift shop worker and tour guides were very polite and better than the other homes we had visited!
We came down for a long weekend to go to a promo products show as we are in the promo marketing sales business and got to experience/enjoy the lovely cottage and beautiful city.
Really enjoyed our weekend stay. Plenty towels. Secure. Quiet… Easy access and convenient restaurants close by.
Will definitely try to stay here again. Thanks

We have two days in the clean, spacious, rustic cottage and will likely return some day
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.
We so enjoyed our stay! Beautiful and peaceful and we wished we would have stayed longer. We will be back.

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!
We loved the Margarite cabin on Destrahan Plantation. It is rustic, but very comfortable and the setting is fabulous. We spent hours on the tour and exploring all of the buildings that have been preserved as part of this historic site.

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.
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!

L’hébergements est spacieux, lit king confortable. Environnement calme .
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.
