    Nestled in the quaint shore side community of Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, The Trust has served as a family home for more than 150 years to only 2 families. The home had humble beginnings as a one-room structure and over the years has evolved into its current Colonial Revival Architecture. Entering from the large veranda, one steps into a bygone era of gleaming hardwood floors, elegant chandeliers, and antique furnishings. The home has been lovingly restored and modern bathrooms added throughout. The baths are supplied with Bed & Bath brand amenities and oversized thirsty towels. Come enjoy the peaceful tranquility of this small town. After a restful night sleep, come down to a full breakfast served on fine china and sterling silver by your Cajun host Hilton Eymard. Then you will be ready to experience the many activities the area has to offer.

    Trust House Rocks!!

    June 02, 2012

    We spent the night of June 1, 2012 at the Trust House. The house is enormous and each room's decor is an American history lesson. Hilton, an 87 year old man, is a wonderful host, a fabulous cook as well as historian. This unique experience should not be missed and repeated at every opportunity.

    I do agree that Hilton is a most gracious host and his colorful character and stories make for a pleasant innkeeper. In fariness, I must also say that the home was being updated because of Hurricane Katrina. The problem for my wife and I was that ... it was just a room in an old house, the freight trains blasted their horns at least 2x per night between midnight and dawn. The breakfast was the same both mornings and was nothing to impress .. you could easily duplicate it at home. Without Hilton to provide the "atmosphere" it was a boring place. The town itself can be attractive but you don't have to stay here to enjoy it. This is not a "come back" for us whatsoever. Sorry Hilton.

    Wonderful

    April 04, 2011

    Granpere' treated my husband and me like his own children. He ran around the house in his sock feet attending to our every need. I had brought my mother along and he gave her his downstairs room when we arrived and she couldn't get up the stairs. He also recommended a beautiful place for our anniversary dinner and suggested we leave Mom with him and he would feed her and entertain her. What a lovely man, home and experience. His warm rum soaked bread pudding was to die for and he surprised us with it when we came back in after a rather late night. I love this place and plan to return often.

    Memorable Anniversary Trip

    March 08, 2010

    My husband and I stayed for our 25th wedding anniversary - had a wonderful time. The gas lines in the area were down that morning, causing Hilton to go to great lengths to prepare a most fabulous breakfast for us despite the conditions. Hilton was very friendly and hospitable -- we loved hearing his stories and cannot wait to get back to visit.

    A Great Experience

    September 25, 2008

    Hilton is the most charming, lovely man. He is just a wonderful host. The eccentricities of The Trust add to the charm. He is full of great stories. The food was delicious and you can sit in the kitchen and watch him cook and listen to stories. Just like being at my Granny's house.
