If Natchitoches is the "Mini New Orleans" of the West, then the Queen Anne is its crowning jewel. Built in 1905, this home represents the pinnacle of the Victorian Bed and Breakfast Natchitoches experience. With its iconic turrets, sprawling wrap-around porches, and intricate "gingerbread" woodwork, it offers a literal fairytale aesthetic for every guest who walks through its doors.
1905: A New Century and a Veteran’s Vision
When the Queen Anne was constructed at the turn of the century, the world was alive with the spirit of innovation. While the Wright Brothers were proving that man could fly, a veteran of the Civil War, Mr. Charles Green Sr., was laying the foundations for this grand residence.
Mr. Green’s vision for the home reflected the optimism of the early 1900s—a time of ornate beauty and social grace. While the home was later lovingly restored as an inn by the Howells, the "bones" of the property remain a tribute to the craftsmanship of the early 20th century. Every spindle on the porch and every stained-glass window tells the story of a Natchitoches that was thriving at the dawn of the modern age.
Experience an Award-Winning Victorian Bed and Breakfast Natchitoches Stay
The Queen Anne is more than just a beautiful building; it is a recognized leader in Louisiana hospitality. As a recipient of the 2026 Go Natchitoches Award for Excellence in Lodging, this property represents the standard for luxury and historical preservation.
Whether you are sipping coffee on the wrap-around porch or admiring the period-correct antiques in your suite, you are experiencing a Victorian Bed and Breakfast Natchitoches tradition that has been curated for decades. Since I took over the stewardship of this property in 2003, I have worked to ensure that the Queen Anne remains the most romantic destination in the National Landmark District.
A Storybook Escape in the National Landmark District
Guests often tell us that staying here feels like stepping into a storybook. The Queen Anne style was designed to be whimsical and asymmetrical, offering a sense of discovery in every room. From the grand entryway to the quiet corners of the gardens, the property invites you to slow down and appreciate the slower pace of 1905 life.
Located within easy walking distance of the historic downtown shops, the Queen Anne allows you to enjoy the best of Natchitoches while retreating to your own private Victorian sanctuary at the end of the day.
