This was my first time here and it did not disappoint. The property is beautiful and well maintained. We participated in both the daytime history tour and the evening mystery tour and both were entertaining and informative. The staff were very friendly and eager it assist in any way possible. Also had dinner and brunch at their on -site restaurant and it was AMAZING! I had the best steak of my life for dinner and at brunch our server Joe, went above and beyond. We had an amazing time and I cannot wait to go back and stay in some of the other rooms.

While we didn't come across any paranormal activity while during our stay, we were quite pleased with our room - the bed was very comfortable and we had plenty of linens in our private bath. Breakfast which was provided in the morning was fantastic and wr had several options to chose from. We took the self guided tour after and enjoyed it! The pieces are antiques and it was learning about the history was fun. We didn't get to try out the restaurant but it looked good! The grounds were beautiful. Overall, we had a really good time! Service and stay were excellent!

Excellent place. We’ve stayed numerous times, and it’s always great. The Staff is incredible. In particular, Taylor, one of the managers has consistently assisted us with just about all of our stays. This trip was much different….Taylor communicated with us & had prepped for us while we navigated our way to the Myrtle’s mid snow storm, in order for us to get there safely. Upon arrival, Taylor already had our room key, food & drinks for us. This may not sound like much, but it was snowing 6-9inches in southern Louisiana, & she trekked back and forth to make sure we were all set. Taylor deserves a lot of praise & even a raise! By the far the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. (Taylor if you read this, We both thank you!) We will hopefully see you again soon! 10/10 or 5/5 — always go to the Myrtle’s for a getaway or fun / quiet experience!

We had a great scary time. Beautiful property mysterious, magical, mystical and full of history… Bread pudding is the best. Doll room is a must if you like to be scared in a really creepy way!!! Service there and the people are very top notch.

We will surely miss Ms Connie as she is retiring-awesome ghost tour guide. Stephen, in the breakfast area, goes out of his way and does a great job. Joe, server in the restaurant, was very personable and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend as your server. The ribeye steak was excellent. We did miss the hotel breakfast buffet and their homemade grits but thankful to have been given the recipe. You won’t be disappointed staying there.

Beautiful place. Be mindful that the day tour does not include any stories about the many people who lived there. I mean there’s a brief synopsis of a couple of people but that’s it, It’s a pretty quick tour that really only goes over certain artifacts and covers small area downstairs roughly 4 rooms as the upstairs is closed off due to people staying there. So if you want the entire experience book the evening tour.

Our mystery tour guide Tyler was so awesome. He was funny and knowledgeable. He knows his history and the legends well. He told great stories and answered all questions. We stayed in the Fannie Williams room, I recommend that room! It's very active and very spooky at night. I had a great time. Thank you Myrtles plantation, till we meet again!

Beautiful place. Staff is very knowledgeable and super friendly. Stayed in fanny Williams room. Tour guides were amazing. Very peaceful and restful. Not sure if haunted or not.

Stayed in Baton Rouge, and made the trip up for their evening tour. It was wonderful, very enthusiastic about property, and the spirits that live there!

This is our second time visiting the Mrytles. We did the day tour more of the history tour and then we recently did an evening tour. I love both. I was worried that being that I just recently went in October, it would be more of the same but definatly different! If your looking to here more of the ghostly happening in the property go to the evening tours. You will not get as much on the day tours. Charles was wonderful. We were lucky enough to have him on both our tours and enjoyed his knowledge about the Mrytles each time ! We will visit again !

We came with another couple to experience the haunted guest quarters called " the care takers quarters " omg so much fun, great tour, wonderful experience. The manager, tour guides, and frontdesk employees and the staff at the coffe shop, everyone who worked there went above and beyond with the customer service. I was so impressed with the hospitality we were given. Thank you for a great experience we shall return for sure Ps I think ghost took my shoes ( I forget them there )

Booked a one night stay here for a spooky fun experience. The daytime history tour is included with the booking. This tour was informative and interesting. We also booked the nighttime mystery tour which focuses more on the ghost stories and legends. This was super fun and interesting. These tours are executed well. Our guide was Charles both times and he did a great job! The property and main house are absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. The grounds especially- I love all the trees and water. The house has some of the original furniture and pieces and other items dating from the 1800s. We loved the experience. We stayed on a Sunday night and their restaurant closes at 2pm on Sundays. This was super disappointing. We wanted to have dinner here but since it was closed, we had to leave the property to find somewhere to eat. 2pm is so early! We stayed in the William Winters room. Nice room, spooky for sure. Bathroom was very small and I don't think I could take a shower in the tub. It looks like it's more set up for baths and I don't take baths. It was just not a shower-friendly situation. My biggest gripe is that there was no hot water. No matter how long you let the hot water run, it stayed ice cold. This made for uncomfortable washing up but since we were only there for one night, we didn't complain. The other rooms on our floor had detached bathrooms. I will take my cold water over that- I can't imagine having to use the bathroom in the middle of the night or fresh out of the shower and having to risk running into other guests. Just feels invasive for us; we are people that need our own private bathroom. The only other thing to be aware of is that you need to come prepared to entertain yourself. There's no tv or anything in the room. Literally a bed and small couch. So we basically just watched videos on our phones all night, which we don't prefer. Especially since we wore headphones so couldn't converse at the same time. I would have liked a tv to have on during the night for a little light and white noise. I slept with the lights on cuz I'm a chicken and it was a little too bright but I refused to sleep in the dark. Overall, it was a great experience. Definitely recommend staying on the property and doing both of the tours!

The property was gorgeous. The people were super nice. The tour guide was fantastic. Knowledgeable. Really good at their job. The drinks were great. We went during Christmas holidays and the place was decorated up. We also did the night time tour and it was the right amount of ambience. Totally recommend. Wanna go back.

We stayed at the Myrtle's on Halloween night and it was amazing. We had a beautiful, comfortable room and breakfast the next morning. The 1796 restaurant was a pleasant surprise and they made us feel so special. Our server Libby was outstanding and the food was amazing. Try their lasagna. We went on a ghost tour that night of the first floor of the house with Cassie, who was so knowledgeable and fun. The house is beautiful and historic and full of stories. We highly recommend staying there. Don't complain if you don't see ghosts! Just have fun!

The grounds are lovely and well maintained. The Crepe Myrtles trees are beautiful! If you are looking for a big plantation home and grounds this is not it. The historic and ghost tour are interesting and they take place in the same areas of the house, which I was a little disappointed about. I stayed in one of the cabins on the property and was far from impressed. Mold in the shower, broken tile, and a bench seat to the table that was pushed up against the wall was placed as a coffee table. Only a closet with a few hangers and no dresser drawers. There is a mini fridge that didn't cool down drinks and no coolers allowed inside the cabin and no T.V., which is fine.

Yelp
Rooms are excellent. Customer service is great. Ghost stories are a scam. Half of them are taken from movies like The Conjuring! There is no record of a Cloe in the slaves at the plantation, kids died of yellow fever not poisoning, and no one died in the 17th step. Winter got shot in the doorway and his killer later hung himself. The truth is so much better.

If you're going to the Myrtles for the ghost history, take the evening ghost tour. We went to the daytime tour and loved the history. The grounds are beautiful. Do not miss out on the Bread Pudding!

My sisters and I chose The Myrtles for our Christmas luncheon. We had brunch at 1796 Restaurant, walked the grounds and then toured the home. The food and service in the restaurant was amazing. Lauren was our tour guide and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We will definitely be back, maybe to spend the night next time!

We enjoyed our stay in the Ruffin Stirling and William Winter rooms. The grounds were very nice and the staff was amazing, very warm, friendly, and helpful. No paranormal experiences, but if you're looking for a nice place to unwind this is a great place to stay.

I brought my daughter here after we watched an episode of Sam and Colby on YouTube and realized it was only an hour drive for us! I love visiting different plantations and learning the history of them! The history is just amazing! The historic tour is very educational and interesting. Even my 13 year old enjoyed it. We also went back and did the evening mystery tour which was absolutely phenomenal! We had the same tour guide for both (Charles). He was awesome! He knows his stuff and made it so much fun! If you're in to the paranormal stuff, the evening mystery tour is for you! We will definitely be going back to stay the night in the near future!

Yelp
The grounds are beautiful and so is the home, but the history tour wasn't much history pertaining to the property. It was very shallow, we mainly learned about the furniture and the homes design. We did hear some stories about the families living in the home, but without much detail. My biggest complaint is how they didn't mention slavery, which I find disrespectful and dismissive considering this plantations history. I understand it may be a somber topic, but I personally think that's the point of a history tour. All integral history should be mentioned, not just the pleasant parts. When asked a question pertaining to slavery, our guide(who tried his best) uncomfortably answered and immediately changed the subject. I just found it odd for a plantation tour to revolve mainly around fancy home decor. I expected much more, as I went to Oak Alley the day before and had a wonderful tour which was both insightful and informative, showing both sides of history in a very matter of fact manner. I would definitely recommend Oak Alley if you're interested in history, as The Myrtle's Plantation missed the mark on using their tours to educate, rather than entertain.

Awesome hidden gem in St Francisville. Great history tour, restaurant, and cabin rentals! Even if you only have time to walk around the grounds I recommend stopping... So beautiful. Very peaceful... Even though it's haunted. Lol.

Last year we stayed in the General Bradford Suite and this year we stayed in the Ruffin Sterling room. Didn't see or hear anything either time, but it was definitely a good nights sleep both times! The staff is knowledgeable and very friendly and the restaurant is awesome. We plan on staying in a different room next year!

I was so excited to visit The Myrtles Plantation for a second time. However I now advise people to avoid it because they lie and have no clue how to treat customers. I tried to complain on Tripadvisor but someone keeps complaining of my post and so far TripAdvisor Experiences keeps removing it. Also Myrtle's Plantation has resorted to trolling me on Facebook and have done their best to silence me by attempting to continue complaining about my posts in hopes Facebook will ban me. Therefore after I posted this on Facebook I am posting it here and also Google since it appears Google allows customers to post their experience and not be swayed by businesses. When I call a day in advance to inquire about early check-in (the website states early check-in is possible if the room is available), I expect to be given what I was promised and especially if I plan around what I was told. When I called, the receptionist confirmed that my suite is NOT being used the day before I arrive; therefore, if I plan to arrive at Noon on the day of check-in, the room WILL BE READY at Noon since she was aware that I would have planned for it therefore driven nearly 14 hours nonstop to get there and will need to freshen up for a tour reservation at 4PM and our dinner reservation was at 7pm. Consequently, I planned my travel properly around what I was promised, and I did arrive at Noon on the day of check-in. Upon my arrival, I was informed that my accommodation was NOT yet ready. I informed them I had been assured it WOULD be ready. I informed them that I was told my suite had been unoccupied the day before, therefore I was told I could check in at noon so me and my family could freshen up BECAUSE OF OUR TOUR RESERVATION and dinner reservation. They informed me that check-in would not be available until 3 p.m as their website states. To tip it off, the staff actually verified that the room was in fact EMPTY the night prior, but they were dogmatic and told me I cannot check in until the maids have cleaned it. I stated that was NOT what I had been informed and promised. I WAS PROMISED THE ROOM AT NOON. After sitting for two hours and witnessing up to five other parties check in and get their rooms EARLY I finally had enough and informed them I want my room as promised, and they basically told me I was a liar because early check-in is not guaranteed... Even though they agreed that I was aware that the room had not been occupied the prior night...HOW COULD I HAVE KNOWN THAT WITHOUT BEING TOLD! Why argue with me? Worst customer service ever. As a result, I had to change my dinner reservations and purchased ANOTHER nightly tour and missed my daytime tour reservations that was free. They lied to me and tricked me into paying for a nightly tour and I couldn't do the daytime tour because of our 2 hour later check-in and prior dinner arrangements. I believe they did this on purpose to soak more money out of me or they are racist.

Cool place to visit! Can't wait to see if anything creepy shows up in my pics. A huge thank YOU to Chole and Sidney for remaking my drink after I let it sit and it became watered down. They proactively remade it and had it ready for me after the tour! I miss this type of service from those of us in the service industry. Now for the tour, Rainy Days, the tour leader, was unbelievable! Her charm, personality, friendliness and knowledge came through like a shining light in this "dark" place. I do not know where her future takes her, but I would not be surprised if we see her in the entertainment field, should she be interested. She and her talents are are very special and rare! Thank YOU all at the Myrtle's

This was our first trip to Myrtles, and definitely be coming back. It was only an overnight trip, passing through to Mississippi. This is my review. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and well kept. We had plenty of time before we had to check in so we could explore. We walked the whole grounds and we're so impressed. The staff was courteous and they walk you to your room. The room we got was the Caretakers Cottage, it was small, but it fit 4 people just fine. The shower was pouring water onto the floor and my husband fixed it. It was cozy and don't expect a tv. There was none. There was a large spider crawling on my bed, but we got it out. Not the most extravagant if you are looking for luxury. The tour was ok. I was hoping to see more of the house like the upstairs but it's only for guests. Breakfast was included, just your basic cereal, eggs, and so on. Biscuits were good. Staff was very nice and attentive. Definitely worth going back and this time we will get a room inside the main house. And expect people at breakfast discussing ghosts.

I went twice in two weeks time. The first was a tour of the grounds when the main house was closed to the public during the Coronavirus times then a week later with a friend who wanted to take her sister to go on the house tour when it was available a week later. Beautiful grounds. You can walk around the pond following a map detailing the history and significant aspects of the property. I was the only one out there and it was very peaceful. The home tour consists of several rooms in the ground floor. You can learn the history of the house, the people who lived there and several paranormal events that have occurred there and still happen. Someday, I'd love to stay there for the night. There are several rooms in the house and cottages available. There's also a restaurant on the property. Should be noted The Myrtles Plantation is one of the most haunted places in the United States. It's a must see! The employees and staff are very informative and helpful. Both times I had pleasant interactions with them - they have some very interesting stories to tell you.

Oh. My. Gosh. Best meal I had on my Louisiana vacation. The fried rabbit is phenomenal. Say it with me, "phenomenal!" The rabbit isn't dried out at all and the fried crust with southern gravy is exactly what you hoped for. It was so good! The Caesar salad was also unique but had the familiar notes of Caesar. The dressing was original and savory. And they didn't skimp. It was quite filling. It had delectable cornbread crumbles on top. Fresh, clean and very satisfying. The Mac n cheese was great, not the best I've ever had but I would definitely order it again! The grounds and haunted tour were very entertaining. Lots to see and hear about. Makes you wonder. I'm not sure I believed all the stories but I do bet some are true. I'm still looking back on my pictures in the haunted house. The employees can really tell a spooky tale and make you believe it. It was an overall stellar experience that I would recommend to anyone at least once! So happy we made the drive from New Orleans!!

My daughter and her friend wanted to visit a haunted house. I found this when I did internet search for most haunted places. I booked on Priceline- very easy! Not inexpensive at $250 per night per room. The grounds are beautiful. Staff is welcoming. They encouraged us to walk the property and gave map when checking in. I stayed in the new two story section and it was very nice. The girls stayed in the Crepe Myrtle cabin. It was also nice. It has a bedroom with two beds. In the den area it has a private bathroom. Both rooms were very clean and very nice, country cozy. Only issue for me was the ghosts kept me up all night. I am not joking. Supernatural sounds all around my room all night. At first goosebumps, after a while not scary, just loud. The girls had similar. We also saw a ghost for fractions of a second in the field next to the property on our late night walk. This place is really haunted. Breakfast and coffee were really good and homemade. Great way to start the day! Coffee 5 stars!!! One last thing. Keep an eye on kids. They have several open wells on the property. Wouldn't want the curious to fall in.

My sister and I are traveling in Louisiana to visit family and we had a very interesting tour today of this lovely plantation house which has experienced so much tragedy and sorrow. Our guides did an outstanding job and pointed out all the unique features of the house. We did not see any spirits thankfully ! Not sure how I would've reacted to that ! While on the property I took a look at the beautiful restaurant and it along with the lodging area looks fantastic! I highly recommend that you take the opportunity to visit this unique plantation house while in Louisiana

I've been to the Myrtles twice. We stayed in the main house the first time. There was a fuss because the toilets backed up in the carriage house rooms. The second time we stay in the carriage house. After we came back from the tour, guess what? The toilets had backed up and there was three inches of water on the floor with our luggage and my cameras. We asked for a refund from the management. She tried to say it wasn't their responsibility. Nice try. I had to let everyone know this was a regular occurrence.

Really enjoyed my visit to the Myrtles. The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly and an excellent storyteller. She made the history of the house and the people who once lived there (and maybe still do) come alive. Is it haunted? Who knows? I'm a skeptic, but the place certainly has a unique, palpable atmosphere. I went in the daytime, and there were about ten others in the tour group. I'm sure it's different alone at night! It's definitely worth visiting. I plan to go back and may even spend the night.

My friends and I rented the Coco House stand-alone building (3 beds/2 rooms, 2 bathrooms, living room and dining room) this past weekend and it was lovely. The house has a dorm sized fridge and plenty of storage space for stuff, would be better to have a kitchen/wet bar sink, but we made do. I loved the grounds and the buildings. The restaurant on site is phenomenal, the gift shop has cute stuff. We did the night time tour which is exclusively in the "main house" and a little light on the slavery history and is much more a ghost tour. We were told that the daytime tours are more history based and less ghosty.

The Myrtles was a bucket list stop. It's a beautiful place. The staff are wonderful & breakfast is delicious! We stayed in the Ruffin Sterling room, which used to be the nursery. It has a "disappointments room." I have seen ghosts since I was a little girl. I wanted to experience something but also hate being startled while trying to sleep. I was a big baby, so we slept with the light on & brought a fan that would have concealed noises. But before bed, my husband saw a curtain move and I saw a small shadow peek from behind the chair he was sitting in. Not scary but cool! It just has a certain spirit's present feeling.

The Myrtles Plantation is firstly a very peaceful place for a nice getaway. We traveled from TX and this whole area in Louisiana is just so pretty, lush with green trees and bayous to boot. When at The Myrtles, one can't help but think about it's reputation as "One of America's Most Haunted Homes," which is kind of fun but in the end it's just a really nice place to walk around but also to reflect on the historical aspect of such a place, and to honor the sad events that occurred in the south during times of slavery. There's a heaviness that goes along with staying at a place like this but I made sure to keep the indentured in mind when wandering about. Back to current day, the pond sits in the middle of all the lodging. So you have the main house, the restaurant w/courtyard and the garden rooms (which looks like an apt bldg but really pretty) and the cabins surrounding the pond on one side, and then the rest of the pond is surrounded by the caretaker's cabin and a smokehouse, which looks to be just for decoration and then a pathway and a forest of trees surround the rest of the property. I really liked our house called the Coco House, which is modern and has two bedrooms, one with two queen size beds and one with a single queen size bed. Then there are two full bathrooms down the hall right across from each other, which was kind of weird but my husband and I had our own bathrooms, so that was kind of nice. His was a little creepy b/c they use those Edison bulbs and the walls have wooden paneling, so the bathroom had a red hue to it, and looked a little ghostly. Might be good to give the wooden paneling a coat or two of white paint. I stuck to the tiled bathroom with the shower/tub combo. I will say that my shower turned off by itself at one point while showering, so...bad pipes or mischievous spirits?? My husband's bathroom had a really cool walk-in shower, though I didn't try it out. I loved the photo of the Coco House (the white house w/white rocking chairs) with the sunset light shining on it. May be back, may not, but we'll always come back to Louisiana! Love this place!!

When you pull off the road and go up the long driveway, you are going back in time. It's wonderful. The check in is at the gift shop. The room jeers are beautiful and brass. The locks were installed upside down so as to keep ghosts out. But since it's one of the most haunted places in the country apparently it didn't work. I stayed in the General David Bradford suite. This is ac two room suite. The first room is a sitting room, with a couch and wardrobe and fireplace. The bedroom is a double bed that is so comfortable with a gorgeous half-canopy. I sleep like a baby. Some of the rooms are small, because back then, rooms simply were smaller. My friends stayed in one of the smaller rooms and it was also well appointed. They also have rooms another building and even guest cabins. They give tours all day at the half hour (9:30, 10:30, etc) in the evenings they have a slightly different tie at 7:00 or 8:00. They ring a bell to signify the start of the tour. I only state this because it was right outside my door. If you are staying at the hotel you get a free day tour. The grounds are gorgeous with a pond with ducks. There are birds singing in the trees and crickets singing. In the morning there is a complimentary breakfast, with things like a scone, a biscuit, grits, scrambled eggs, Baci of sausage, etc. we are outside on a brick paved garden area by crepe myrtle trees with hanging Spanish moss.

Stayed here with harvest host (for camping) and the grounds were beautiful. Bought a few things in the general store and the employees were very friendly. While we did not take the tour we walked the whole grounds. My favorite area is the pond. Bocce ball area was also very fun. I am sitting in a hammock watching the fountain and stars as I write this and it is so peaceful. A nice little gem.

Experienced the evening tour with a friend. The stories were entertaining, the guide was sweet, but she tried too hard to make us feel scared or "creeped" out. Overall, I think we would have fared better to take the free self-guided tour as you only get to see the first floor of the main house. Other guests inquired if we were going to be able to see the second floor or other buildings and we were told they are not included in the tour. The grounds are well kept, but if you plan to see any of it, make sure to come during the day prior to the evening tour, as you will not be able to see it. The property, indoors and outdoors, are very dimly lit. My friend took photos throughout the tour. There is one photo that has an "odd" figure in it and a few others that are questionable.

The hype of the tour is Mystery tour. Seems fun and who wouldn't want to see a ghost floating around? Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. She was dressed for the part. She was in the gift shop earlier and was a little snappy when she asked what we need. We were told not to touch the furniture or sit on it. We had a few in the tour group that did just that. Lighting is very dim in certain parts of the rooms. We were only allowed into all the downstairs because they use the upstairs as a bed & breakfast.

" The Haunted House Plantation " We traveled to St. Francisville Louisiana to visit the famous Haunted House at the Myrtles Plantation. We were met by Jacklyn our tour guide for the 1800's Haunted House. Jacklyn was one of the best tour guides I have ever seen. She was so animated, funny, historical, and believable, as she took us room by room and told us about everything that is in the Haunted House. She was so interesting. The Myrtles Plantation house was a nice place to visit mainly because of Jacklyn's educational tour. They are about to open a new Bed & Breakfast at the Myrtle Plantation soon. We did see some Ghost images !

Really excited to go here and hear all the spooky tales. -Grounds: are BEAUTIFUL -Parking : gravel with a nice sized lot -Bathrooms : near the parking before you enter around the main houses -Price : for a tour was $15 reasonable - they are also a bed n breakfast we want to return to experience the food and stay the night - gift shop is by the main house it's also were you can check in for ur tour Can't wait to return for the stay and sadly for another tour : as sweet as our tour guide was , she wasn't as advanced as the other lady that was giving a tour , it was a very quick, cut to the chase kind of tour not something that went into depth or good understanding of the spirits in the house (I'm sure she will get better with time , she was sweet just young) ** also wish we did do a moment of silence for the spirts (it was mentioned after the fact we should do a moment of silence but we didn't)

The property here is stunning. We were visiting from California and drove 2 hours to do a tour here. I definitely recommend buying your tickets beforehand and give yourself plenty of time to drive out here if you are staying in NOLA. We called ahead as we were running late and they kindly moved us to a later tour. The staff was very welcoming and accommodating to us. The tour was informational but you only tour the lower level of the main building. I would've loved to tour more of the property with the help of a tour guide. It was only $30 for 2 so it was a steal. If I make it out to LA in the future I definitely want to stay here and spend more time on the property. Also, we had some creepy happenings on our tour so definitely do it if you are a paranormal believer.

After so much anticipation, we finally made it to the Myrtles. Not for an overnight stay as we hoped but we did the day tour. It was nice. The house was nice. The tour consisted a lot of telling us about the pieces throughout the house, such as the furniture, walls, windows, etc. There was a bit of history given, including the story of Chloe. Honestly, I was a bit disappointed. There wasn't enough information available in my opinion. I also expected there to be more "eerie" stories of supernatural occurrences but it was vaguely mentioned. The tour only goes through the bottom portion of the house which consists of the foyer, bedroom, ladies room, gentleman's parlor, dining room and game room. Upstairs is for guest of the house. If you stay overnight, the day tour is included along with a southern breakfast. The rates range from about $170 to over $400. There are also night tours. The day tour was maybe 30 minutes. Outside is nice. There is a beautiful pond area. There are also cabins I'm assuming is for visitors staying overnight. The restaurant is very good from what I've heard but we arrived right after it closed (2 pm). I think it reopens at 5. There is a gift shop with some jewelry, glazed pecans and other items. Its not overcrowded with cheap souvenirs but there isn't a large selection despite the nice size. We paid $15 an adult and $12 a child. I feel like that is reasonable because it is interesting. Personally, I just had high hopes and it fell a little flat. I would still recommend visiting.

I've always been fascinated with the supernatural and I've seen so many documentaries and movies based on The Myrtles Plantation. This place is truly remarkable and I can sense someone was following us as we tour the beautiful sprawling mansion. I definitely recommend checking this place out and even booking a room for the night, if you're not too scared.

Wife and I went for a spooky anniversary trip. We both found it very educational and enjoyable to tour the grounds. The night tour was definitely worth it. Our tour guide, Rain, made it much better with personal experience stories. We will be returning at some point and maybe to stay the night.

We love the Myrtles! It had always been on my bucket list. We've done a evening tour in the past but this time we did a private tour and stayed the night in the house(Fannie Williams Room). The service was amazing and very hospitable. The tour guides are always knowledgeable and fun.
