    wonderful old plantation-style b&b. great breakfast and hospitality. never thought i would look forward to going to Houma, bayou noir has changed my mind! i love staying there. Judge Ellender and Herbert are such wonderful hosts. worth the trip to enjoy the beautiful Carribean-style garden which grows beautiful citrus which eventually lands on your plate at breakfast. Dine at Cafe Dominique's and a drink at Bar Roussel while visiting.

    My wife and I had a wonderful time. The house, landscaping and hospitality were outstanding and completely overshot the standard.

    Stayed at Grand Bayou Noir for 3 nights in June 2011. They treated us like family from the moment we stepped out of the car! This is much more than a simple Bed and Breakfast - you'll be welcomed into the family and treated to some incredible South Louisiana cooking (for us, this included several meals in addition to the generous breakfasts.) The extra cost for the "honeymoon suite" is well worth it for the additional privacy it provides. Rooms are not maid-serviced daily, which is no problem at all if you know how to make your own bed. Would suggest this B&B to anyone looking to get a true Bayou experience!

    We escaped from our own 4 acre B & B in the wine country of northern California to search out a welcoming, relaxing B & B in southern Louisiana. We found all that and more at Grand Bayou Noir. Tim and Debbie and Herbert provided comfort, culture and cuisine worthy of return visits! Theirs is a passkey to plantation living as we imagine it. The grounds are spacious and manicured, the rooms private, the hospitality superb. Here is a B & B that puts guests first from start to finish. We left with recipes to replicate and reasons to return... Thank-you! —Jerry and Bev Stemach

    2 weeks ago my wife & I were married at Grand Bayou Noir by Tim Ellender. My wife is from Houma and our families are spread all over the states from Houston to Louisville. The New Orleans airport is only 45 minutes away & made for easy travel for most out of town guests & there are 2 hotels within a mile of the bed & breakfast that housed most of our guests. I have stayed here quite a few times since Hurricane Katrina and it gets better each time. The grounds are amazing, our wedding was in the afternoon and guests were seated in the back yard underneath the old oak trees while we stood underneath the iron gazebo structure. We had about 175 guests in attendance and the setting and food (catering is done on site) was excellent! We had some of the best brisket I have ever tasted along with gumbo, jambalaya, crab dip, coconut shrimp, etc.. The tent provided room for several tables, a band & plenty of room for dancing. Outside the tent there are areas to gather in both small or large groups. Our friends in attendance have asked us to consider an anniversary party because they had so much fun... We'll see! To anyone considering a wedding in Terrabonne Parrish, if you are looking for an outdoor wedding beneath gorgeous trees and want it to be done by someone who is used to having weddings then you should strongly consider Grand Bayou Noir. With on site catering & plenty of room for either a small or large event your expectations will be exceeded!
