As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
There’s nothing better than escaping to the country for a few days, and I’ve found what might just be the coolest bed and breakfast in Louisiana. Splendor Farms is a beautiful farm over in Bush, Louisiana where you can get a taste of country living at its best. From horseback riding to swimming laps in a saltwater pool, this place is just incredible.
Welcome to Splendor Farms, a 75-acre farm about an hour away from New Orleans.
Splendor Farms is great for a day trip, and we’ll talk about all of the fun things to do here in a moment, but you can also spend a few nights here, too.
The bed and breakfast-style accommodations offer a few different ways to stay: two guest bedrooms, a guest cottage, and a guest bunkhouse for larger parties.

If you’ve ever been curious about horseback riding in Louisiana, Splendor Farms has got you covered.
Not only do they offer horseback riding lessons, but they also offer trail rides and arena rides. Personally, I love being around horses. During high school, I volunteered at a therapeutic riding center in Folsom and quickly fell in love with these beauties. There’s just something special about a horse’s bond with its human! If you know, you know. And if you don’t know... you’re about to!
They’ll teach you everything you need to know and pair you up with a horse that meets your skill level. You and your gentle giant will head through the woods, passing by lakes, streams, and more. Kids ages seven and up are allowed to ride on the trails and younger kids can ride in the arena.
Splendid Farms has a ton of critters you’ll want to cuddle. It’s the perfect place for an animal lover!
Enjoy an evening around the fire pit, challenge your family to a game of badminton or volleyball, or just go for a peaceful walk around the private pond. You’re also not far from the Bogue Chitto River, a great spot to go tubing in Louisiana.
One thing is certain: you’ll have a hard time leaving this picture-perfect paradise.
Visit the Splendor Farms website to book your reservation today, and be sure to follow Splendor Farms on Facebook so you never miss out on any upcoming announcements. If you do plan to go horseback riding, be sure to read the rules first! You’ll need to wear long pants and closed-toe shoes (crocs do not count). Sneakers are great, but if you really want to look the part, how about a nice pair of boots?
