5 out of 5Perfect Spring Break Getaway!
March 19, 2013
My wife and I decided to get away during her spring break and saw an advertisement fo the Lewis House and decided to try it. So glad that we did. From teh First time that I talked to CJ I knew that customer service was her strength and that the visit was going to be a good one. She even called while we were driving to wish us a safe trip! The room was very spacious and beautifully decorated and we spent alot of time looking at all of the beautiful furnishings in the other areas of the house as well as the gift items that were on display. The location was very convenient to all that we wanted to do in Ruston. We'll definitely be back.

My husband and I love to stay in bed and breakfasts and this was such a nice surprise to find in Ruston. The rooms and bathrooms are very large and VERY clean. We were treated to a hot sit down breakfast the next morning which was a nice change from the usual continental style we are used to. I will definitely stay here again.

5 out of 5My Ruston getaway...
October 23, 2012
I had come to Ruston for a meeting from Birmingham AL. I love to stay in B&Bs whenever I can and googled to find The Lewis House. I read some negative comments about the owner CJ but decided to make the reservation. I am so thankful that I did! The house is beautiful and the furnishings are true to the period. Extremely clean!! I was lucky enough to have a storm roll through and since it says you are welcome to make yourself at home, I did just that...made coffee and sat on the back porch and thoroughly enjoyed mother nature's show. When I got to meet CJ I found her a gracious host! She prepared a huge breakfast, which is served in the exquisitely furnished diningroom. I felt relaxed and cared for...CJ is very interested in making your stay the best. When in Ruston, this will be the ONLY place I stay.

August 14, 2012
This was the perfect pick for our 2 year anniversary getaway. We truly felt like it was home away from home just without all the commotion of life. We felt completely alone and private but with answers to everything we needed. Enjoyed this greatly! Cj was the greatest hostess!!
3.2 out of 5One night at The Lewis House
July 16, 2012
We spent one night at the Lewis House in Ruston while our daughter went to orientation at LaTech. The house was okay and it was good for one night. Not sure if I would have stayed another night if I would have been in Ruston for longer. The breakfast was great and Cj Browning was very nice.
5 out of 5Home Away From Home!!
June 24, 2012
Stay is work related. Home away from home! Best experience, having worked out of hotels for last 6 years! Lewis House owners go far beyond the usual duties to assure my stay is a stress free, comfortable, ultimate experience!
