The Estate

Meander the wide woodland paths in native bayou forest
Be surrounded by bird song ....and gentle breezes under ancient live oaks

The Garden Guest House at dusk.The Garden Guest House Bed and Breakfast, a private guest house with lovely accommodations, is located outside New Orleans in Slidell, Louisiana. This B & B is a private house (circa 1905) in a serene and romantic setting amid 10 acres of bayou woodlands. Ancient live oaks, magnolias, tung oil and pine trees abound. The grounds are landscaped with huge azaleas, camellias, and gardenias.

There are many things for our guests to do in the New Orleans area, but there are many relaxing and enjoyable things that they can do without leaving the grounds of the Garden Guest House. Bird watching; wandering and exploring the meandering nature trails through the acres of woods; sitting on one of the swings or benches smelling the fragrances of honeysuckle, jasmine, or gardenias; relaxing on one of the large decks sipping wine on a moon lit night; reading a book or magazine from the B & B library while lounging in one of the living rooms with floor to ceiling glass walls; laughing around an antique table at a reunion of old friends; browsing the art galleries of the historic old town centers of Slidell and Covington.

Our landscaped perimeter looks out upon a lush pine forest.Your hosts welcome tours of the antiques and art work in the main house. Paul and Bonnie can also suggest great places to do antique shopping and wonderful restaurants in the area. Paul and Bonnie love sharing their 1800 square foot greenhouse, rose arbor, fruit trees, and hanging sculptures of exotic tropical plants. Guests who are interested in a gardening experience can learn about indigenous plants, horticultural methods, potting orchids, attachment techniques for hanging tropical plants, as well as the designing and building of a home greenhouse.

Bird watchers delight in the vast number of birds attracted to the many bird feeders carefully placed throughout the grounds and near the guest house.
