"A 15-acre semitropical parkland on the shore of Lake Peigneur that pairs abundant wildlife—roseate spoonbills, egrets and roaming peacocks—with historic charm centered on an 1870 Steamboat Gothic house built for actor Joseph Jefferson; the site sits atop a salt dome and tells a dramatic geological and industrial story (including a 1980 mine collapse that created a whirlpool and left a lone chimney protruding from the lake), and visitors can stay in cottages and wake to peacocks outside their windows." - Travel + Leisure Editors
