"Our stay at Elsa's Place Bed & Breakfast was one of the highlights of our trip. It's about 40 minutes outside of New Orleans, and the drive is easy and absolutely worth it if you're looking for a peaceful, cozy place to stay away from the hustle and bustle.
From the moment we arrived, the owners made us feel so welcome. They treated us like friends rather than guests. We mentioned that we wanted to try an authentic Louisiana seafood boil, and they immediately started calling local places to see what was open for us. That level of kindness and hospitality meant so much.
The breakfast we had was incredible! We enjoyed homemade shrimp and grits, eggs, bacon, fresh scones, and the freshest fruit we've ever had. I have to mention the grapes because they were perfectly crisp (I love a good crunchy grape!). My husband Michael couldn't get enough of the homemade cookies they had available for guests, either.
One of my favorite parts of our stay was getting to sit and chat with one of the owners. She shared her inspiring story about coming from East Africa, meeting her husband, and creating this beautiful bed and breakfast. She was genuinely interested in hearing about our lives too, and even congratulated us on our journey and future plans. It felt like talking with family.
If you're visiting New Orleans and don't mind a short, easy drive, this is the place to stay. It's quiet, beautiful, comfortable, and full of genuine hospitality."
