Best birthday get away for my husband and I. If you want to relax, get romantic, have some quiet time, and still be close enough to visit Lafayette, this is the perfect local get away. I usually like to go to Pensacola because it is about 3 hours away but so is the Cajun Mansion. The staff was exceptional. They were professional and personable without being stiff and formal. We enjoyed the romantic dinner in the wine room and every course was some of the best food I ever ate. Worth the money. That is a huge compliment coming from me as those who know me well will tell you I do some serious cooking. The breakfast was just as satisfying and would appeal to just about anyone, and there is a sweet and a savory plate. Plenty enough without being too full to enjoy the trips to the local tourists destinations. The bed was very comfortable. Lots of pillows. We stayed in the Lagniappe suite. We plan on returning.
