avis_word BUTLER GREENWOOD PLANTATION AND B&B St. Francisville

What a cozy little closer to home stay away. Definitely recommend and can't wait to return.

I have a question. Has someone new taken this plantstion over? The reviews below are nothing like our stay was. We were so excited when we got there,after recomendation from Miss Hester at the Myrtles. (Where we've stayed several times and our adult kids were there) We wanted to try something new. When we arrived, we were thrilled! The place was totally captivating, tranquil, and beautiful. 1st thing that caused us anxiety was the so callled "owner". An elderly woman. We were enjoying looking at the pond and she came running out screaming at us to come to the back porch and checkin. The backporch looked in another room with goegeous painting all around. Our adult Son took a step toward the open doorway to look and she screamed at him to stay out.We had the cooks cottage with the well in middle of floor inside, musty, moldy smelling. We finally fell asleep to be woken up by a monster crash. We flew up in bed and heard someone walking in the kitchen area, so my Husband jumped up and went to look. The crash was the door slamming shut. Someone came in while we were sleeping! It crashed again as they left! I would be thrilled to know someone else is now managing the place so we can go back and actually enjoy it?

Hôtel magnifique, très calme. Plantation jamais vendue, c’est toujours une héritière de la famille Buttler (Ann Buttler) ayant créé cette plantation qui tient ce qui est désormais un B&B. La localisation est bien, on est à 200 de la highway mais sans l'entendre et sans la voir.
Nous étions dans la Pond House.

La maison louée est vieillissante mais bien.
Par contre gros point noir sur le ménage, qui ne semble pas fait sous les lits (nous avons retrouvé 3 cafards morts).
De même, nos toilettes fuyaient et faisaient un bruit d'écoulement la nuit. L'impression est donc que c'est un peu viellot, pas forcement aussi bien entretenu que cela pourrait être (ou que c'était avant).

Mais il reste que la plantation est vraiment belle, calme, on voit les écureuils se balader le matin.

Couldn't have picked a better place to be! So quiet, peaceful, serene, just hands down gorgeous. We will be back! Thank you a for a wonderful birthday!

A beautiful place. It was as if driving into another place entirely. I fell in love with the pond House there's a particular feeling when you walk into the door. Like a warm welcome home. Me and my two-year-old enjoyed laying on the hammock as she napped either the hottest point of Summer it was perfect. I will be back for a longer stay in more exploring the grounds.

The plantation is a beautiful place. The grounds are beautiful, well kept with so many trees and rolling hills. Perfectly quiet. The cabin we stayed in was pretty old. Some people might like that but I guess I'm spoiled, I like to stay in something up to date, more modern. There were nicer cabins of course, but they were already rented. The owner is a wonderfully nice person. If you're looking to get away for a weekend, I highly recommend Butler Greenwood

The cottages are a bit dated. They need some paint and fixing. But we really enjoyed our stay at this peaceful place. We stayed in the pool pavillion, a large cottage. There was a grill so we did some barbaque and sat on the veranda of the pool pavillion. We also made friends with some friendly geese living at the plantation.

We loved our stay at Butler Greenwood. We had the pool pavilion. The kids thoroughly enjoyed having the pool to themselves. Luke the goose was a treat. He was pretty fond of my husband and seemed to enjoy sitting with him at the beautiful pond. The trees are absolutely gorgeous and it was so peaceful & relaxing. Breakfast consisted of oatmeal, croissants, juice & milk. I was hoping for a better breakfast but that's because I was comparing it to others we've experienced. Overall our stay was beautiful and I recommend it.

I recently stayed in the Cook’s Cottage at Butler-Greenwood, and it made what otherwise might have been a stressful visit to Louisiana absolute Heaven.  While traveling to St. Francisville from Baton Rouge just before dark, the alternator in my truck gave out.  Luckily, it did so within reach of a truck stop just south of St. Francisville.  I felt I needed to call the host of my accommodations for the night, Miss Anne Butler at Butler-Greenwood, to let her know what had happened and that I would be late checking in.  Not only did she drive the 10 miles south to Star Hill LA to pick me up and bring me safely to my cottage, but she made it possible for me to remain in my wonderful cottage for an additional two nights while my vehicle was repaired in town!  Now THAT’S what I call a high-quality innkeeper!  Plus, during my extended stay, I got to watch scenes from a movie being filmed inside and on the front lawn at this wonderful old home.  Miss Anne’s cottages (she has 8!) are all like home-away-from-home with a lot of living space and every amenity you could possibly need (big bed, full living room, woodburning fireplace – which I prefer over the big screen TV or WiFi which are also available, full kitchen, hot tub and shower, deck, swing, and the most beautiful grounds to wander and enjoy coffee, peace, and quiet (broken only by the occasional honk of a resident goose near the pond).  Butler-Greenwood is absolutely amazing, and I plan to return again and again (but likely in a new vehicle next time!).

The rooms are a little dated, but so comfortable and easy to locate. The owner was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area

Great place to relax and enjoy the scenery. Plenty of acreage to explore.
