We were celebrating our 30th anniversary and we had narrowed our seach down to St.Francisville, but didn't know which B&B we would chose. After much research and visiting some of the sites, we chose Butler-Greenwood-we made the right choice.
The owner was very cordial, warm and hospitable. She opened her many acres up to all the visitors to freely roam the grounds which were very peaceful and breath-taking with the pond, ducks, cats, peacock and many other animals roaming the land
freely.
It was truly a renewing and enriching experience for my husband and I. It truly nourished us both physically and spiritual to take on another 30 years!

I've stayed here twice, once alone and a second time with other female writers. I found the owner to be warm and knowledgeable, and we found out about a lot of local sights through her (and when I came with the group, she talked to us a lot about writing books). The tour of the house was fantastic; so much original furniture etc. and all from her 7 or 8 generations of (the same) family. That alone is unique. Each cottage had it's own decorations, and they all faced a lovely pond. The grounds with the hanging moss were comforting and "realistic" for what I imagined the southern plantation properies to look like. it's close enough to drive down to New Orleans and spend a day and night (overnight) there,and yet get back to small town treasures (and antiques).

Great plantation home to visit and relax in old ante bellum atmosphere. The home is full of family history still owned by the original family name of Butler. The tour is well worth it and you might just feel the spirits of the past walking with you. The owner is very knowledgeable of it's history and pleasant to talk with. The cottages are located in the rear of the home and offer a sense of intimate privacy for your special event or just a weekend get-a-way. Early morning walks on the grounds are very pleasant and serene. Sitting under the restored gazebo or the oaks will give you a sense of peace. After visiting ButlerGreenwood you will look forward to coming back real soon. This is truly God's country. A truly enjoyable place to visit.

This is one of vey few plantations still occupied by members of the original family, and the furnishings in the main house are fabulous, original and well kept. There is most certainly not plastic all over everything, only in one room with an 1850 carpet. You can tell the furnishings here didn't all just come from the nearest antique shop or interior decorator. The B&B is in individual well-equipped cottages, very peaceful and quiet and unique. Heartily recommend it. Since there's just one staff member in the main house, patience may sometimes run thin, but for tourists who are interested, the tour given here is one of the best.
