Natchitoches, Louisiana.

Witness a piece of Louisiana history being brought back to life at the Samuel Guy House. Rooms are handsomely decorated with antique and reproduction period furniture, comfortable sitting areas, ceiling fans, spacious baths with Jacuzzi tub.

Bed and Breakfast Description

The Samuel Guy House was built in 1850 by Samuel Eldridge Guy. The house was the centerpiece of a working plantation and was located in Mansfield, LA. The process of dismantling, moving and reassembling the house started in September of 2002. The newly restored house features five guest rooms, eight bathrooms, twin dining rooms, a parlor and commercial kitchen, a fifty-five foot central hallway, and fifty foot front and rear galleries.

Guest rooms are handsomely decorated with antique and reproduction period furniture, comfortable sitting areas, cable TV, spacious baths with Jacuzzi tubs and more. Enjoy a full southern style breakfast including coffee and juice, using organic herbs and fresh grown produce when available.

What makes the Guy House unique is that every piece of furniture and all the paintings are for sale. Renowned furniture craftsman, George Olivier, constructed a cypress king size bed for the Guy House. Famous folk artist, Robert Miller, has placed several of his plantation-themed paintings in the house. Local artist, Ed Kollar, has also placed several of his oil paintings, many which depict houses and present and past scenes of Natchitoches. Antique dealer, Sherry Barrett, has loaned several beautiful antique pieces to the Guy House for you to view.
