WowiZowi goes to the Guidry Estate in Luisiana.

We sure found out why Innkeepers Lyn and Ken Guidry named their Louisiana bed and breakfast 'Maison D' Memoire', because this place will surely make for some amazing memories, indeed. Thier huge, multi-acre grounds are gorgeously landscaped complete with a private lake with a bridge crossing over it, and many gardens. We told Ken he should put in a golf course around the lake as there is so much open area of fresh mown lawns.

We strolled around the lake and crossed the bridge at sunset and the sweet smell of the many trees filled the air... we sat there on the bridge, such a romantic place to be.

It's the porches that we really loved, every cottage has it's own where you can sit and have your breakfast, prepared fresh daily by Lyn herself, and gaze across the grounds. Or just sit there and enjoy a quiet glass of wine in the evening... so nice!


Along with the really cool porches, the cottages are large and comfortable with kitchens in every one. Below is the Autumn Cottage kitchen, very large with everything you'd need. All the windows have views of the gardens, lawns, forest and lake. So relaxing!



We really enjoyed getting to know Ken and Lyn, whom we met for the first time at a PAII conference at Disneyland in California. Maison D' Memoire in Rayne, Luisiana, a very special place with very special Innkeepers, Lyn and Ken, we so look forward to a time to visit them without our camera gear and just enjoy the place and the innkeepers.
