CANCELLATION
POLICY: 72-hour notice required for cancellations;
we
keep it short so that our guests are not penalized for illnesses
or emergencies,
but
we certainly appreciate more notice than that.
For
holidays and special-event weekends like Pilgrimage or Christmas
In The Country, and for reservations of more than one cottage, we
require a one-week cancellation notice.
SMOKING
POLICY: We prefer that our guests who are smokers confine
their smoking to porches, decks or other comfortable outdoor areas.
CHILDREN
AND PETS
We
welcome children and pets if they are well enough behaved
not
to be destructive and not to disturb the other guests.
And
we do not like pets on our furniture.
WEDDINGS
We
do host small, quiet weddings on our lovely grounds and gardens
or
in the cottages for guests who are staying here.
We
permit only about 15 guests at most;
we
simply do not have the facilities for more.
Wedding
portraits for non-guests with their own photographer: $25.
Weddings
on grounds or in cottages for guests: $100.
ACTIVITIES
Now
a year-round tourist destination area, St. Francisville was the
commercial hub for the rich surrounding cotton and indigo plantations
of the antebellum period, and today many of the 19th-century structures
in the downtown Historic District are filled with quaint little
shops and restaurants.
In
the countryside, there are a number of restored plantations and
gardens open for tours: Rosedown and Audubon State Historic Sites,
The Cottage, The Myrtles, Greenwood, Catalpa (by reservation) and
Afton Villa Gardens.
There
are also wonderful recreational opportunities here in the Tunica
Hills: nature walks, birding, biking, hiking,
golfing, fishing and hunting. Guided bird walks with nationally
recognized wildlife artist Murrell Butler can be arranged.
Maps are available upon check-in showing the locations of all of
these attractions.
Want
less exertion? The local massage therapist makes house calls
to our cottages.
