Visit our two lovely, adjoining homes built circa 1870. Stroll through our 1 acre complex; see the gardens and patios — an oasis of greenery and relaxation. Serene, very quiet and private. Located conveniently near restaurants, colleges and downtown night life. Our guests step back in time yet enjoy the modern conveniences such as wireless Internet, online reservations, cable TV, and private baths. Children and pets welcome!
When you walk into Fairfield Place, you will feel as though you are miles away from anything, yet you will have all of the modern amenities of a large hotel with the added benefit of feeling like you are at home. We have many repeat customers that have been coming back for years. I think that one of our guests said it best as she walked through the front door for the third time in two months and sang, “I’M HOME”.
Awake to the sweet smell of muffins baking. Enjoy a full breakfast each morning including hot or cold cereal, fresh fruit, orange juice, coffee or tea, eggs or French toast, bacon or sausage, and fresh baked croissants or biscuits. Baked apple French toast and caramelized bacon are just a few of our specialties.
A brief history of the home: Thomas Thompson Land, a Louisiana Supreme Court Judge, who built the home in the early 1870s, married Mary Eliza Dillingham and were the proud parents of 15 children born over a 22 year period. A portion of the original land was previously part of the Thornhill Plantation. The property remained in the Land family for more than 91 years. Fairfield Place may well be one of the oldest surviving homes on the street.
