Madewood tour

Woodburn, Oregon

Madewood is a beautiful house. I had a lovely personal tour of this house. I was supposed to stay at the house originally but our stay was cancelled because of circumstances out of anyone's control. The staff was accomodating however and arranged for me to stay elsewhere and gave me a complimentary tour of the beautiful house. I was excited to still be able to see this gem and walk through the areas Beguiled was filmed. Some live oaks are nearby the house as well lending for exceptional ambiance.

Will never forget the experience!

Hong Kong

Amazing splendid house with a great atmosphere. We were just 4 to spend the night there and got the house just for ourselves. Amazing! We stated the evening with a cheese and cocktail (wine) start then had dinner in the amazing dining room and finished with a brandy in the men’s room. Unforgettable evening! In the morning the hostess brought us some coffee we could enjoy on the front balcony of the house, definitively a travel in time. I strongly recommend the stay in Madewood, it is so authentic!

Southern Hospitality Done Right!

Houston, Texas

If you are looking for a vintage Southern Plantation to home base an adventure or a romantic getaway or host a genteel event- the Madewood Plantation House is perfect. It is the 2nd largest plantation house in Louisiana, not commercialized , quiet, and set in the countryside. The location - just a few miles from Thibodeau is ideal because it allows for the serenity of the country side but quick access to roads leading to other plantations & sightseeing venues. It’s about an hour from New Orleans & 45 minutes from Baton Rouge. The house has 28 rooms with varying bed configurations (most up stairs). You would need to be able to climb 2 flights ( there is at least one bedroom downstairs) - all are in-suite. Breakfast & a 5- course dinner are included- truly outstanding meals. Angie is the manager & chef- her meals outshine other 5 star restaurants!! Wine & cheese are served nightly at 6:00 & dinner at 6:30. Coffee is brought to your room ( the weather was great so we had ours on the back porch) at 8:00 & breakfast is served at 8:30. Angie is also a wealth of knowledge of where to go & what to see. Keith Marshall, owner lives on the property & had breakfast with my sister & me the first morning- great talker. My sister & I made the trip here from Houston to celebrate our birthdays (we’re twins). We wanted to be spoiled & Madewood House exceeded my expectations!!!

Good lunch experience

Morristown, Tennessee

We had a group of 8 and visited Madewood for lunch and a tour. I didn't realize it would be a private lunch just for our group, which was a nice surprise. The food was good and the tour was enjoyable. We learned Beyonce had filmed a music video here and the movie "The Beguiled" was also filmed here. The day we visited it was cold outside, so we did not have a chance to tour the grounds.

Unique

Sydney, Australia

Four of us stayed here in the main house. Yes, the place is really old, but that’s what we came for. It felt like such a privilege to sleep in the four poster bed, eat breakfast and dinner at the grand dining table, sit (carefully) on the Beyoncé chair and Saunders about the place. A bit like sneaking behind the velvet ropes in s museum and actually using all the artifacts. Dinner and breakfast are served at set times because all guests dine together at one table in the dining room ( which is lovely and very social) This wouldn’t work if people arrived at different times. We thought it was very reasonably priced,too.
