Beautiful grounds. Very strict on timing the tour of the mansion but very well done. No photos allowed due to time constraints except for near the end when the double doors on the top balcony are opened to a magnificent view of the Oak lined laneway. Cabins and grounds are very clean. Somewhat disturbing knowing the history, but it is history. Nice shop that has the absolute best Pralines and Cream liqueur!!

Super tour! Beautiful home. One of the owners gave the tour which made it even greater because she had the knowledge of everything. I would definitely advise this tour to everyone. Loved the history of six generations. Loved all the original furniture and all their personnel belongings. Great to be up close to everything. Thanks for a great tour Susan!

WOW Exactly what I imagined when I thought of taking a tour of a plantation house. The fact that it has remained in the family for this long and is still being maintained by descendants is amazing. Seeing the family mementoes was impressive and heart-warming; I wanted to move in and stay there. Thanks to the family for sharing their world & history with us.

Loved the history of the family, and the beauty of the wood work inside the house. Our guide was fantastic. Not your usual plantation tour. She gave it more of a personal touch since she lives there and part of the family.

Wonderful home. Fantastic tour. We loved being able to learn about the history of the home, and hearing all of the little stories passed down through the family.

Looking at all of the books and my brother was very freaked out during the tour. That was very funny to watch. I learned a lot about my hometown during the tour that i did not know about.

Beautiful home. Informative tour. Granddaughter likes the convertible high chair and china. Grandson liked the office. We all loved the folk lore. Just a cool house says a Grandchild. Thank you for sharing your home.
