Not every visit to Natchitoches begins as a getaway.

Gus Fajardo was in town for a couple of days working on a pipe organ project at Northwestern State University. When it came time to choose accommodations, the historic Judge Porter House Bed and Breakfast came highly recommended.

His review tells the rest of the story.

“This historical B&B came highly recommended. Charming, quaint and hospitable!!! This 100+ year old home was charmingly restored and sits among some of most beautiful homes in town.”

Gus's comments capture something many visitors are looking for when choosing where to stay in Natchitoches: the opportunity to experience the character of the historic city rather than simply find a room for the night.

A Location That Worked for His Visit

Although Gus was in Natchitoches for work, Judge Porter House put him close to both the university and the places he wanted to experience while he was here.

Gus wrote:

“Centrally located to the Cane river, front street restaurants & shops and the university.”

That location earned 5 out of 5 from Gus.

For a traveler working at Northwestern State University, the location provided convenient access to the university while keeping him close to Cane River and the restaurants and shops of historic Front Street.

It's a useful reminder that a stay at a historic bed and breakfast isn't limited to a romantic getaway or weekend vacation. Sometimes the reason for coming to Natchitoches is work—and the historic district can still be part of the experience.

Jackie — and Breakfasts Worth Remembering

The house and location weren't the only things Gus remembered.

His host, Jackie, made an impression as well:

“Our host, Jackie was simply delightful and accommodating.”

And then there was breakfast.

“She whipped up delicious breakfasts each morning, her cobblers were divine.”

Gus didn't simply tell other travelers about the breakfasts. Among the photographs he shared from his stay were pictures of the food he was actually served.

One of those breakfasts included a savory second course of crustless quiche with rosemary potatoes, sliced tomatoes and an English muffin.

“Judge Porter House Bed and Breakfast Is the Ticket”

Gus awarded Judge Porter House 5 stars on Google, including 5/5 for service and 5/5 for location.

Perhaps the strongest recommendation comes in the final sentence of his review:

“If you’re looking enjoy Natchitoches and are looking to stay in a historical B&B, Judge Porter House is the ticket.”

Gus also took the time to share the same review on Yelp and posted 13 photographs from his stay on both Google and Yelp.

We appreciate guests like Gus who take the time to document their experiences and share them with other travelers. His visit began with a work project at Northwestern State University, but his review shows that his experience of Natchitoches extended well beyond work.
