Very nice the new owner has done wonders with this place. Cant wait until the landscaping he's investing in matures. That was really my only gripe. The tour was fun. More

After 20 years of marriage a man has to really try hard to impress. Choosing to stay at the Bocage for our 20th anniversary has not only impressed my beautiful wife, I truly believe she has already made reservations for our 21st. The mansion and abundant antiques are wonderful and great for pictures. What really made our stay so special... More

Lovely plantation home filled with furniture, glassware, pictures, dishes, and fixtures that would have been used in the early 1800's. Owner Dr. Marion Rundell has devoted time and money to renovate this magnificant home that laid dormant for several decades to its now unique beauty and splendor. Our guide was very helpful and welcomed our comments. It is a bed... More

The owner gave my tour. He was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the plantation. I would love to stay in it as a bed and breakfast or as a wedding reception. Definitely worth while to visit this plantation! More

We did not stay at the plantation (we live nearby) but stopped in to take the tour. I went with my mother and sister, and all three of us have taken plantation tours along River Road (Nottoway, Houmas House, etc.) and thoroughly enjoyed them. Bocage was by far the worst plantation tour, and one of the worst tours in general... More

My husband and I were on a cross country road trip and stopped by Bocage Plantation. We were so impressed we could not stop talking about it. A man named Brian was taking care of the plantation at the time and he was truly the nicest guy. He helped us with our luggage, prepared us hor d'ouvres and drinks, and... More

My husband and I recently celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. I had a glimpse of Bocage in May when I took a group of 16 visitors from France (plus their host families) on a tour there, but this was the first time my husband went. The furnishings are absolutely beautiful and the staff is extremely helpful, very accommodating, and know... More

We arrived after dark and were greeted by a wonderful staff and the sparkling glow of the chandeliers. The pictures on the web sight do not capture the complete elegance of the property. The antique furnishings and house and staff capture the elegance of the 1800'.s Igors oatmeal is not to be missed. We stayed in the red room and... More
