Bed and Breakfast Description

Built around 1870/1880 and known as the "Boudier" house, the center portion of the structure - a circa 1810 two-room bousillage (adobe mud and moss) is the oldest historic structure in town along with the "City Hotel". The abandoned and boarded up home was bought and restored in the mid 1990's. Upon completion, the state historical and preservation department approved its nomination and placed it on the National Register of Historic Places.

The inn consists of four guestrooms, each with its own private bath, antique furnishings and direct access to the porch overlooking the gardens and bayou. Each guestroom has high ceilings, old cypress long leaf pinewood floors, original artworks and was decorated by famous Louisianan designers.


Relax in the glassed-in sun porch, stroll in the lush landscaped gardens or read the daily paper in the rattan rocking chairs in the gazebo. Complimentary beverages and daily maid service are provided with a personal touch. General tour information is available. Upon request, our manager can create a tailored tour to meet your personal needs.

Maison des Amis is the perfect get-a-way for a romantic and stress-free weekend. You’ll feel like you’re in another world and return home rejuvenated.
