Nottoway Plantation & Resort

We are from California and our friends recommended this place. We enjoyed the tour. Hunter was so informative. You can tell he's passionate about this place which made it more interesting for us. Thank you for the hospitality.

I have visited Nottoway several times over the years and keep coming back because I love this tour so much. Of all the plantations I've toured in Louisiana, the Nottoway "mansion" is the best! Seeing this grand building is a must do for anyone who loves architecture and history. The tour guides relay interesting history of the home and the family who had it built. The white ball room is captivating and romantic. There is a hole in one of the front columns of the house where a cannon ball from the civil war was lodged for many years before falling out. The family was approached to film scenes from "Gone With The Wind" at Nottoway, but the owners declined because of the disruption it would have caused the family and operations. I highly recommend this mansion tour!!

Brock was a most excellent tour guide. He had amusing and really interesting anecdotes--not only of the people who inhabited the Nottoway Plantation, but also of extended family, slaves, neighboring plantation life and history! We were amazed at his instant recall of facts and extensive knowledge of many of the plantations--what they are known for, where is the best preserved, artists, sculptors and architects of the day. Come with questions and more questions and lots of curiosity--the conversation just takes on a life of its own. The house is gorgeous and super impressive, but Brock really made our day w/his animated tour. His enthusiasm for plantation-everything is contagious!!!!!

Stayed here one night on our way to Florida with my husband and 5 yo daughter. We had reserved the king suite but were contacted day before that AC was not working. So we had to do the two queens instead. They let us check in early. Property and grounds were beautiful. They didn't have tours at this time. However we were able to meander through freely and were surprised that things were not roped off. It was mostly in good condition. Outdoor area needed some attention. Rose garden bushes were overgrown and looked like roses needed fertilizer as not growing well. Pool area was locked and looked small and sleepy. Loved the 100 plus year old oak trees. Many good photo opportunities and not crowded at all. There is a small one room museum which was interesting and had a lot of reading materials and a few relics. Adjacent theater movie played sound but no picture. Room itself was modern but maintained the look and elegance of the mansion. Beds were very comfy. AC kept the room cool. We had a small fridge but disappointed no microwave or tea. Just a coffee maker. Also no shampoo or conditioner. Just hand soap. We didn't ask for it though. Room was a little dirty. Found clumps of hair on the floor and a few small bugs. It was quiet outside except for loud DJ playing for wedding until around 11 pm. Sugar cane field right behind us. Could hear birds in the morning. Parking so convenient right outside and free. It seemed safe and classy crowd there. Went to restaurant for dinner. Limited menu options and no kids menu. Prices were reasonable. I had strawberry salad which was excellent. Husband had etoufee which was good. Daughter had red beans and rice and surprisingly ate some which is good for her as she's a picky eater. Sticky shrimp appetizer was more like general Tao shrimp with sweet and sour sauce. Didn't care for it. Pecan pie was best I ever had. All and all this is a real gem of a place. Surprised it's still standing after civil war and restored after several centuries. So felt like a real privilege to stay here.

The American Queen could not dock in Baton Rouge due to low water levels. Notoway was the substitute port. We toured the slave built house. Our guide was excellent. The troubling part was the resort closed in early 2020 and the deferred maintenance on the 1859 house and surrounding buildings and property is self- evident. The pond and pool are full of scum and bugs. The gift shop smells musty. The rooms are all boarded up. The tennis court is sinking. Paint is peeling everywhere. I don't see it opening again without costly repairs.

The I love you info OK Elena Elena Elena I don't know about your brother yeah I'll send you that

Unhappy in so many ways. First, when I checked in, the guy at the front desk acted like I was bothering him to check in. After giving me my key (which didn't work), he couldn't even be bothered to direct me to where the room was. I had to wander the property and ask random people to find it.Second, the room they gave me was moldy and clearly had air quality problems. I went back to the front desk and they finally put me in a room that wasn't a nightmare.Third, I asked the front desk when I checked in how to go on a tour of the big house. The guy said to just walk to the front door. So I did. The door was locked. I went back to the front desk and said the door was locked. He acted like I was inconveniencing him, once again. I went back. Eventually someone opened the door, but no one would give a tour. I just kind of wandered around the big house with no explanation of anything. Worst plantation house "tour" I've ever been on.Fourth, when I checked out I spoke to a woman who I took to be a manager. She acted like she cared, but she did nothing to help me. She wouldn't give me a refund or a discount on a future stay or anything. I'm not going back. There are so many better plantations to stay at in the area that don't treat you like this. I recommend staying at Houmas House or Oak Alley.

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT!!!! BEWARE!!! The manager, Angela, isn't qualified to operate a f%cking fryer at Popeyes, much less be in charge of one of the nicest historical plantations in the state. I was literally thrown out of my room an hour before my best friend's wedding. Had to relocate to a friend's room and sleep on a couch for my scheduled 2nd night stay, all due to piss poor management of their books and total lack of oversight from anyone with a brain. Enjoyed the cockroaches in my room.

Visited here and had a wonderful time ! Suite was clean and manager along with staff were very helpful and kind! Our tour guide Brock was excellent and gave the home so much life !

Beautiful property for tours ,dining, parties or overnight. One of the prettiest mansions in Louisiana in my opinion The staff is unbelievable helpful and let you know that you're welcome here. The restaurant serves delicious food in a beautiful setting. . Come to Nottoway you won't want to leave
