We stayed here for 2 nights. We arrived on December 31, 2013. We came to watch the New Years Eve fireworks. We were not disappointed.
John and Kathy provide wine and snacks every afternoon. This makes it so the guests can meet and get to know one another. Much better than briefly saying hello.
We recommend this B&B and will come back again.
The only thing that was not perfect is the pillows. So bring your own.

Room tip: We were in the Magnolia room. If it had been warmer we could have enjoyed the balcony.

We recently spent two nights in Natchitoches experiencing the Festival of Lights and we had a lovely stay. John and Kathy who own the inn were very lovely relaxed people who made us feel so welcome, and location wise it was great to be able to walk into town rather than drive. There were freshly baked cookies put out everyday and wine available in the evenings. We were on the third floor in a lovely room with an enormous bathroom but if you are slightly older you might not want to do the stairs from the second to third floor. Definitely a wonderful place to stay.

My significant other and I just spent two nights at the Sweet Cane Inn to see the Festival of Lights and explore the historic district.

We stayed in the Lily room on the third floor which is a unique L-shaped room on the side of the house. Since it's set off to the side, you don't get any street noise from Washington, but can still look out on it directly from the bathroom window. There are also three windows to give you lots of light on the side of the house. The room was clean and the linens smelled fresh and were soft and comfortable. The bed was a little soft for me and my 6'6 SO didn't quite fit on the bed but those are not really complaints, just observations. I enjoyed the shower, there's no tub but that's perfect for me, and the Gilchrist and Soames toiletries. I appreciated the stocked fridge (water and soda) but it is right next to the bed and can make a jarring noise when the refrigeration kicks on and off. I would also suggest a few hangers in the close. Since we brought our own we were okay.

The house itself is very large with a nice sitting room on the third floor and two large rooms on the first floor. There's a wide front porch too. Breakfast is served in a nice little dining room with tea, coffee, juices, yogurt and cereal everyday. In addition to the continental offerings eggs, bacon, sausage, strawberry crepes, pancakes and mini quiches may also be offered. You can have breakfast at any time between 8-10am so you don't have to get up and rush down to eat. At 4pm wine and delicious chocolate chip cookies are offered. Snag one for a late after dinner snack!

John and Kathy were great hosts. John had a lot of great stories about the area. We also ate at his restaurant and if you are a guest at the Inn you get a free appetizer or dessert. Try the cornbread étouffée it's delicious. I also have to confess that upon check-out I forgot to return the room key and found it later in my luggage. When we called the B&B, John was so kind about the issue letting us know it happens and told us just to send it back through the mail. This level of hospitality extended beyond our stay and I'm very appreciative.

The location is absolutely perfect for walking to the historic district and was very convenient for seeing the fireworks on Saturday night. You can park right at the B&B and walk down to the shops and restaurants. I highly recommend the Sweet Cane Inn as it's casual hosts and quiet rooms, plus ideal location make it perfect for a visit to Natchitoches.

Room tip: The Lily room is on the side of the house and on the third floor so it's very quiet as long as you don't mind walking up a few extra flights of stairs and you don't want/need a tub (shower only).

My wife and I had a wonderful time in Natchitoches staying at the elegant Sweet Cane Inn. It was our second time at the inn and it was perfect. Great rooms, we recommend the Magnolia Suite. The breakfast was delicious! John and Kathy are so friendly and accommodating. It was the best place to stay for City of Lights because Front street is only a block away. We're already anticipating our next visit!

When visiting Louisiane the tourist office showed us the way to Natchitoches. The oldest town in the state.
The staff of the local tourist office provided us a warm welcome and phoned a couple of B&B to stay.
We went to the Sweet Cane in and fell in love with the place.
The owners John and Kathy are great and warm people who realy understand hospitality.
Great victorian vibe, super cosy rooms and freshly prepared breakfast by John and staff.
The location is near downtown so its is easy to walk around. John and kathy also own a restaurant which is called Maglieaux's. The old name Antoons still appears on websites.
Maglieaux's is Tops as well and worthwile a visit.
Oh did I mention the happy hour every day with free wine and cookies..

This is the place to stay in Natchitoches, -nag-ge-tosh and we wish John and Kathy all the best in their new adventures.
You guys Rock!
