Houmas House and Gardens

As a fellow estate venue owner from Georgia- we came with a group to tour how they run weddings. I am jealous of their grounds and amazed all in one. Kevin and Cecily are amazing- I hope to come
Back!! - Tracy- Englund Estate

Gorgeous property and a must see if you’re driving through! Also very dog friendly, they are even allowed on the tour of the house!

It was closed the day we were passing through the area so we only got to view the grounds from the parking lot and street. It looks like a Réal beautiful building and gardens. I hope to return some day to visit

Did the mansion tour and the gardens. It was beautiful and amazing to hear the history and how it became what it was and how it is, still. Ruby was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable.

reason giving 4 stars, i was not impressed with the april 9th dinner. the prime rib was raw and did not taste good. was not worth $120 though the lunch was beautifully done. people at the front office didnt know much about what to do or where to go for the lunch. the table cloth was on the ground so when i got up my foot got tangled, pulled the cloth and dumped the flower and water everywhere twice. the duck in pecan sauce was really good. the chicken was ok. the salad had salad dressing already on it so the salad was soggy. i dont like condiments (salad dressing) so i didnt really enjoy the salad. also the destrahan plantation/houma plantation combo makes it hard to see both plantations when the last tour is at 4 and they are an hour away. the houmas plantation takes alot longer to see the gardens and tour than destrahan otherwise if destrahan had taken longer i wouldnt have been able to see both. the houmas plantation is gorgeous and the gardens are nice. there are some unsightly things in the gardens (fountains not working) few broken ornaments, some what looked like a metal trash pile in one of the ponds. the animals are a great addition. baby swans, the cats, the dogs, and peacocks were great. there are also ducks and swans in the front lawn. there were some baby swans that were just precious. overall the houmas plantation is beautiful and full of alot of really cool antiques. our tour guide got a little snappy wanting everyone to stick together but i couldnt get pictures in the rooms without people all in my pictures. i was doing my best to keep up but i paid to see everything just like everybody else did. i dropped over $200 this weekend alone at both plantations including $120 for the april 9th lunch. that doesnt include staying at nearby holiday inn for $110. i dont dress fancy and i look younger so maybe she thought it was deliberate but the people at destrahan waited for me to take pictures. i dont want a bunch of strange people in my pictures. other people's movement distorts the picture.

Great place to visit.. beautiful house full of history. This is the right place to visit if you want to know a little more about Louisiana history, specially the sucar cane plantation.

Such a wonderfully unique experience! Beautiful house and gardens! Our tour guide was fabulous! I don't remember her name but I will add her photo. We didn't realize there was a restaurant on site and had already eaten. I am sure it was great with all the people that were enjoying it. This was definitely worth the time and money! You will not be disappointed! It will take you back to another place in time!

Tour guide was AMAZING! Showed us around the house. Gave us time to take pictures, ask questions, see it all. We easily wandered and took pictures for hours!

Out of 5 plantations we visited this one stood out as being the best. The interior rooms were a showplace of furniture from the
time period. The grounds and gardens would have been worth seeing even without a tour of the "big house" We bought the combo tickets for Houmas and Destrehan. This saved us alittle but they need to be purchased on line.

Beautiful sugar cane plantation. Our tour guide was fantastic and answered all questions any of us had. I highly recommend this plantation! Very historical and beautiful site.
