We stayed one night in this spectacular house and although we arrived very late the owner of the House, Tim, was very friendly and gracious with us. We felt welcome and could not stop admiring the beauty of this house. Our room was very clean and elegantly furnished with period pieces and we slept really well. In the morning Tim... More

We recently had our wedding at the Grand Bayou Noir. We cannot sing the Ellender's praises enough! Judge Ellender, his wife, Deb, and their family (staff included!) were so accomodating! We had the Judge officiate our ceremony, then went straight into a cocktail hour/reception. The reception tent was GORGEOUS. The food was lovely! The DJ was on his game! All... More

we love staying at Grand Bayou Noir. Judge Ellender is a wonderful host and chef. His breakfasts are wonderful: home grown grapefruits and satsumas, fresh eggs and peppered bacon with coarse grits, black coffee (pas jus de chaussettes mes amis), and fresh squeezed orange juice. The large room on the second floor overlooking the garden is very comfortable, quiet, and... More

We travelled to Louisiana for the last Thanksgiving holidays and happened to be in Houma on Thanksgiving day. It was not so easy to find a place to stay ! Not only did we find Grand Bayou Noir open, but we had a wonderful time there. It is a beautiful house where guests are truly welcome, from the refreshments and... More

I've stayed at the Grand Bayou Noir several times, and each time it felt more like home. The South's legendary hospitality is alive and well in the form of Tim Ellender, the owner, and his wife Debbie. Tim's breakfasts are not to be believed -- you start with a generous plate of fruit, then move on to hot breakfast: crab... More

Having lived in Houma most of my life, I have always been intrigued when I would pass this beautiful old home surrounded by huge oak trees. We decided to have a little min get away at Grand Bayou Noir. We were not disappointed!!! We rented the suit-huge bedroom, wrap around balcony, a private hot tub on the balcony and a... More

The judge, his family and staff are extremely friendly and the food I outstanding. They provided the best suggestions for dining and entertainment and knew everyone around. Kids loved to see a small gator that was hit by a car ib front of the b&b and pick oranges and grapefruit from the tree.

Incredible food, hospitable hosts, and beautiful surroundings welcome you at the GBN. Be warned: you will be treated like family*! * You'll be offered anything you need - when we arrived, a bit hungry from the travel, we were treated to a snack of Tim & Debbie's (owners) lunch leftovers, which were fantastic, though this may offend the sensibilities of...
