TripAdvisor review of the Violet Hill

Posted: July 10, 2026

From: Haunted1960

View of Cane River Lake from the rear gallery at Violet Hill Bed and Breakfast in Natchitoches, Louisiana.
The rear gallery at Violet Hill Bed and Breakfast overlooks Cane River Lake and the waterfront below.

Sometimes what stands out most about a stay is a simple moment. For Haunted1960, a guest visiting from Houston, Texas, that moment was being able to step outside Violet Hill Bed and Breakfast and spend time by the river.


Stepping Outside to the River

The location along the water was at the heart of the guest’s review:


The guest described it this way: “so nice to walk out the back of the home directly on the river and have a cold adult beverage.”


That connection between the house and the river gave this stay something the guest clearly valued — an easy opportunity to step outside, sit by the water and enjoy the surroundings.


What Did the Guest Say About the Staff?

The river wasn’t the only part of Violet Hill that made an impression. Haunted1960 also singled out the people they encountered during the stay:


“The staff had nothing but smiles and made us happy.”


It’s a short statement, but an important one. A beautiful setting can be part of a getaway, but the way guests are treated can become just as memorable.


A Stay They Would Repeat

Haunted1960 began the review by saying Violet Hill B&B was “perfect for my wife and I.” The review ended with an equally clear indication of how the stay went:


“We would love to go back.”


For a review titled Relaxing on the River, those few words bring the story full circle — a stay remembered for the river, the people and the desire to return.
