What You Get
The Fairfax House
In view of the historic Bayou Teche, across a manicured emerald lawn, and down a path lined with century-old oak trees and bamboo stalks stands The Fairfax House. Built in 1852 by one John Barrett Murphy for his daughter Martha, the former sugarcane plantation remained a family home for decades—until it was transformed into an elegant country inn. The current owners have restored the property, preserving 19th-century elements such as impressive gardens and a gently curved, floating central staircase. But they've also added modern amenities such as jacuzzi tubs (each room has its own attached bath) and wi-fi.
Inside The Fairfax House's six ornately appointed rooms, antique furnishings and luxury linens complement antique artwork from around the globe. Wide plantation-style shutters filter let natural light sneak in throughout the day, and many rooms offer access to the home's two levels of wide, rocker-equipped porches. Guests gather in the communal living room or the dining room, where the staff serves a Creole-style breakfast each morning. Once their bellies are full, they might head out to a nearby spa or wander past some of the City of Franklin's early-19th-century buildings that have made it onto the National Register of Historic Places—about 420 in all, making Franklin an extremely affordable housing market for ghosts.
A historic inn makes it feel as though you’ve traveled back in time a few generations, especially if the innkeeper goes by the name Great Great Grandma. Enjoy old-fashioned hospitality with this Groupon.
