TripAdvisor reviews of the Violet Hill Bed and Breakfast

What is it really like to stay at Violet Hill Bed and Breakfast in Natchitoches, Louisiana? Two recent guests answered that question in their own way. Becky F. wrote about a comfortable stay, an outstanding breakfast, the convenience of walking to the historic district, and the beauty of Cane River. Another guest, Haunted1960, focused on something a little different—the ability to walk out the back of Violet Hill, head down to the river, relax with a drink, and simply enjoy being there. Their experiences were different, but together they tell a much bigger story about a stay at Violet Hill, one of the four historic inns in the Natchitoches Bed & Breakfast Collection.


Stay Close to the Heart of Historic Natchitoches

One of the things Becky F. appreciated about staying at Violet Hill was its location. She described being able to walk to the historic district, putting the shops, restaurants, and attractions of downtown Natchitoches within easy reach. The streetscape pictured here is less than one block from Violet Hill’s front door—a good illustration of just how close a stay at the inn puts guests to the heart of historic Natchitoches.

From the Back of Violet Hill to Cane River

The experience changes when guests walk out the back of Violet Hill. Haunted1960 specifically mentioned being able to go directly from the bed and breakfast to the river, where they could sit back and enjoy a cold adult beverage. That simple detail says a great deal about the experience: downtown Natchitoches is close by in one direction, while Cane River is waiting just outside in the other.

A Comfortable Place to Call Home

A great location matters, but so does the place guests return to at the end of the day. Becky F. specifically mentioned the comfort of her stay at Violet Hill. Guest rooms such as the Arthur Coble Room reflect the historic character of the house while providing the comfortable accommodations guests expect during a Natchitoches getaway.

Breakfast Is Part of the Violet Hill Experience

Breakfast was another highlight of Becky F.’s stay, and at Violet Hill it is more than simply a meal. Guests gather in the dining room each morning, where the tables are set and breakfast is served as part of the bed-and-breakfast experience. It is one of those details that distinguishes staying at a full-service bed and breakfast from simply finding a place to sleep.

And Then There Is Cane River

Both guests came back to Cane River when describing their stays. Becky F. mentioned enjoying the river as part of her visit, while Haunted1960 described walking down from Violet Hill and relaxing beside the water with a drink. From the rear veranda, guests have a view directly across Cane River Lake—a setting that is not separate from the Violet Hill experience, but very much a part of it.

Guests Becky F. and Haunted1960 noticed different things during their stays, but together their experiences paint a remarkably complete picture of Violet Hill: a comfortable historic bed and breakfast close to downtown Natchitoches, breakfast served each morning, welcoming hospitality, and Cane River just outside the back door.
