This B&B scores aesthetic points for classy rooms featuring hardwood floors, fresh white linens and four-poster beds – they're historical but attractively toned down, which is rare for Southern B&Bs. The property itself is an enormous (7000 sq ft) Georgian-style home that's one of Houma's lovelier digs.
