Bois des Chenes Bed & Breakfast

I LOVE these people. I truly do no know how anyone could go to someone’s home during Christmas dinner and insult their hosting abilities and then give them a crappy review, so whatever. But Coerte and Margie are soo awesome. The accommodations are quaint, much as you would expect an 80 year old couples home to be. This is not a shi shi Vermont B & B. This is a older couples home. Coerte truly is «the most interesting man in the world» and Margie is just about as sweet as her French toast! Love them, loved this place, LOVED the boat tour.

«We’ve got a bitch!» yelled the 84 year old patriarch of this family owned plantation after my 65 year old future-​mother-​in-​law said, «I wish you’d told me we’d be staying in the carriage house. Is there space in the main house?»
Clearly, the man was offended by our pointing out a couple small issues: his failure to warn of the full main house and the fact that one of the «two beds» we reserved was a rollaway. This is no excuse for his language, however, which was so inappropriate that I would have laughed out loud had it not been said with such spite.
Afterward, we tried to figure out what went wrong. It was Christmas Day, a day they don’t normally have guests arrive, but then why did they take our reservations? Perhaps there were family tensions outside our control? In the end, we simply don’t know, but the fact is that anything resembling hospitality could have smoothed over our relatively minor gripes. Instead, he responded to, «I wish you hadn’t called my mother that word,» with «I’m 84 years old, I can say what I want.»
As we departed (without staying), we were further confused by multiple stone-​faced recitations that «We’ve had 33,000 guests here and never a complaint.» This was confusing because both we and they know this is not the case. Indeed, a glance at Bois des Chenes’s online rebuttals to past negative reviews (see Trip Advisor) reveals this, and leads me to believe that more name-​calling is on the way for us once they see this review.
In the end, we would certainly not recommend the Bois des Chenes.
