A weekend in one of the two cottages on the property may be the most romantic and peaceful getaway in the state.

Situated on the rolling hills of West Monroe, the cabins are directly across from the vineyards. Mornings are breathtaking as you take your cup of coffee outdoors to a stunning view. The Landry's call this the "grape escape".
