This is truly a place to relax and enjoy your surroundings. The rustic beauty and comfort were even better than we expected. There are so many birds enjoying the many feeders that K.W. keeps well stocked with seed and hummingbird nectar. We stayed in the loft, which was spacious yet cozy, and has a really comfortable bed. The little porch... More

I've stayed in B&Bs in the past but one thing I feel like is missing is an attention to detail, atmosphere, and design. This inn was amazingly detail oriented. The coloring of the rooms, from the walls to the curtains, all contributed to a soothing, calming space. It almost reminded me of a calming yoga studio, except with beautiful furniture... More

I found Shadetree on the internet and took a chance that it would be a nice place to visit while we attended a wedding. The place far exceded our expertation. The cabins were great,clean and very relaxing. You were in town but you would never know it. We just love it. K.W. is a great host and also a great... More

I really think I want to keep this to myself! The Shade Tree is simply amazing. Beautiful, comfortable, romantic, peaceful, and K.W.'s attention to detail is extraordinary. I'd say more, but I really don't want everyone to know about this gem. Too many people may visit. The other reviews say it all. It is rustic, but luxurious in it's own... More

The wonderful reviews on Trip Advisor prompted my husband and I to chose the Shadetree Inn for a weekend trip to St. Francisville. And am I glad we did! We stayed 2 nights in the "Sun Porch" suite, one of 3 on the property. The attention to detail is supurb and you will never have a nicer host than K.W.,... More

This is an awesome relaxing Inn! The owner “K.W.” provides three suites with great attention to detail in a very relaxing, wonderful atmosphere. Nights are absolutely quiet; maybe you hear a dog bark somewhere far away on the neighboring plantations. I had the so-called “Loft”, which is reached by a wooden staircase and sits on top of the main building.... More

My wife and I have been here serval times. We just went this past weekend and the weather outside was horrible and we were worried we would not have a good time, but we were wrong. As usual we just kicked back and did nothing and enjoyed the rain. When the rain stopped we went out to dinner in town... More

How to describe the Shade Tree Inn..think of an adult version of summer camp with all of the modern amenities! The proprietor and unofficial camp counselor, KW, is a very approachable and knowledgeable guy. There are many activities available on the property to occupy your time, such as bike riding, hiking, animal watching (deer, birds, etc) or the huge rope... More

We had a wonderful weekend at the Sun Porch Cottage at the Shadetree. The Shadetree is located very close to the main areas of town but sits on a little hilltop on the corner of a quiet street in the historic district. It was a relaxing, peaceful and romantic getaway. There was no check-in or check-out - the key was... More
