It nice, but it’s old, and with that comes old house problems. Water pump went out on Fri and no water until Sat evening. While it was the worst place I’ve stayed, I probably would not recommend it.

Response from Debbi, owner/innkeeper on Jul 12, 2019
I am so sorry for your experience. During your stay we apologized and provided you with updates of the repairs, we also tried to find other accommodations for you in the area. Given this was during the July 4th weekend and also a very popular festival, which this guest attended all day Saturday, there were no rooms available. While our B&B is older (like most), the water pump (we are on a well) was only 4 years old. Our water went out after 5AM Saturday morning as I was preparing breakfast. Bottled water was provided to take care of personal needs during the water outage. After not being able to get a professional to come out (again holiday weekend) my husband and friend worked to install a new pump and had water hours before the guest return late Saturday night. Our guests' comfort is VERY important to us. And we are proud to be able to say that in 20+ years in business, this is the first time with these issues and we worked diligently to get the matter handled given the holiday issues we occurred.

The peoperty had old southern charm and history very comfortable, room for privacy, beautiful trees and birds. Debbie and Tim were wonderful hosts also full of southern charm. Debbie cooks up a wonderful - mostly organic breakfast. I so appreciated how she catered to my vegan diet , what a treat. They both have so many stories to tell of the areas history and have lots of suggestions of things to do. We felt like family the first day - will definatly stay there again!!!!!

Thank you so much for your kind words and for staying with us. You got a lot of ground covered during your brief stay, but there are always more to uncover. And then, there is always relaxing on our balcony or in our gardens to put your thoughts to rest for a little while and just breath. Hope to see you both again!

Woodridge B&B's garden is a place of immense beauty we couldn't stop enjoying. Looking at the century old oaks one is almost transferred in a magical world.

Keeping this one on our radar
The hostess greeted us as we arrived and gave us a tour of the B&B. The room was comfortable. We loved the balcony and the view of the garden. Breakfast the next morning was a special treat! We will be back!

very old fashioned bed and breakfast
We didn`t enjoy our stay at all because this is a very old fashioned bed and breakfast. at breakfast they do not surf bagels or toast, just a special southern staff which none of the guests enjoyed. the hosts were very friendly but actually they can offset that the overall environment needs some renovation. both pool and jaquzzi were not available for use. they are adding some chemical stuff to the water at bathroom calling it "weak water"
Response from Owner on May 5, 2016
Hello – Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are very sorry that you feel this way about your stay. If I recall correctly, you traveled to us from Germany and wanted to cancel without penalty the day before your arrival. Unfortunately, we are a small property so cancellations really hurt our ability to rebook the room for another night. This is why we have a cancellation policy in place. As for your other comments, let me say that the pool is seasonal - the pool temperature was 58 degrees F when you were here in early March, but the pool area was open as well as the Jacuzzi. I wish you would have asked about the pool if you weren’t sure! We have soft water which other guests commented on at breakfast stating their skin felt very smooth. We serve a full service breakfast each morning and our proud to serve a southern breakfast native to our Louisiana roots. We do ask guests during check in if they have special food needs for us to accommodate. Thank you!

Thanks so much for the great feedback. Comfort is key here at Woodridge. Our guest rooms are completely furnished for our guests needs. And a lovely balcony overlooking the grounds and gardens allows guests to sit and relax and listen to the daily bird songs.

The Perfect B & B for a little R & R
Our stay was just wonderful. We were looking for a place to just relax and unwind for the weekend and the B and B could not have been more perfect. From the beautifully appointed room we stayed in to the massive second floor balcony we drank wine by candle-light on every evening; This picturesque, southern-styled home with it's very southern culinary cuisine at breakfast fit the bill to perfection. We will stay there again and again every chance we get. Angela and Patrick
Response from Russ on Apr 28, 2016
Thank you so much for the kind review. We agree the B&B is a wonderful place to just be! The balcony is large – 70 feet long! Plenty of room for cozy spots to be alone or gather as a group and the view of the gardens gives that ahhhh feeling. So glad Woodridge filled your getaway needs and we look forward to your return.

Mediocre Stay
The couple who own the B&B are very nice but a little too talkative. We wanted to talk to some of the other people staying at the B&B but couldn't get a word in edgewise. I'm not a picky person but the bed was very worn out with a sway in the center and I ended up with a stiff neck. The breakfast was not as good as I hoped but it was a matter of taste rather than anything the cook did.
Response from Russ on Apr 28, 2016
Sometimes we may not be the perfect fit for a guest, such as in this case. While we do have guests that enjoy both the New Orleans scene (just 35 miles away) as well as our nature paradise, these guests wanted more of a party scene for their Mardi Gras visit while our place provides the quiet haven for relaxing after a fun filled day. We wish these guests had mentioned they were uncomfortable while here, as efforts would have been made to make adjustments. After reading the review we did start questioning guests in that room to assure their comfort with no negative comments or suggestions. We also make a point to stay in each guest room on occasion to make sure the experience each guest has is a good one, we did so as soon as we could after this review as well.

We are Repeat Customers
My wife and I stayed there for the Sugar Bowl for the second time. It is convenient to the City and not too far to drive. Plus it is a very nice, safe place to stay!
Response from Russ on Apr 27, 2016
This is the best compliment anyone can give – a repeat stay and sharing that compliment in the review. Thank you so much. Look forward to your next trip...I know your team will be back at the Sugar Bowl soon!

Thanks for taking the time to review. We love hearing that guests want to return and will recommend us to others. We heard you about the Wifi and are happy to report that we upgraded our Wifi and our equipment and have very good reception. We now offer Netflix in several guest rooms so guests can view their favorite shows at their leisure or catch a movie in the comfort of their room. Hope to see you again in the future.

A beautiful weekend get away
Had a very wonderful stay. The owners made you feel like family. Breakfast was as good as it gets. First the organic fruits and then the most fabulous blueberry french toast. The second day we had another gourmet breakfast, poached pear, then quiche and fresh biscuits. The nicely decorated rooms were very comfortable and clean. A beautiful weekend get away within a short driving distance to New Orleans.
Response from owner on Nov 28, 2018
Thank you for the review and for pointing out that New Orleans is an easy drive. We are fortunate to have nature at our door, small town charms nearby, and both New Orleans (to our south) and the Mississippi Gulf Coast (to our east) both aprox. 30 minutes away. Lots to enjoy, and a quiet place to return to relax!

Pleasant
A pleasant B & B with extremely nice hostess and host, excellent gourmet breakfasts. My room had access to a nice balcony looking out into a lovely live oak tree, a very pleasant place to sit. The room was nice but could have been scrubbed a bit cleaner. Location was fine, a bit close to the freeway, but secluded enough.
Response from owner on Nov 28, 2018
Thank you for the review. Guests seem to enjoy our large, 70 foot balcony overlooking the private gardens and canopied by the 100+ year old Live Oaks. We are sorry you felt the cleanliness was lacking as we try to keep things tip top. We have stepped up our cleaning another notch. As far as location, we suggest that guests review the location map to assure they are selecting an accommodation that meets their needs.

Beautiful Place
The owners were a wealth of information about the local area and NOLA. The food was 5 star quality and made to suit. The site offered a hot tub, pool and beautiful wedding reception facilities.
Response from owner on Nov 28, 2018
We love the area in which we live and love to share ideas of how to enjoy your visit. The area is rich in nature with walking trails, a 26+mile rails to trails path, take in the water view either by a swamp tour or by getting up close and personal in kayaks. We will help you find the way to enjoy nature at your pace. Of course New Orleans is only 30+/- minutes away. Or enjoy the gulf beaches also ~30 minutes away. Or enjoy nearby small town charms.

B&B in the woods
This facility is a delightful re-model of an old school. It is a bit hard to find, I would highly recommend daylight or you are in for an adventure. The family running the B&B is delightful and wonderful to talk with. by the time we left, I wanted to go in the kitchen and swap recipes. The setting is peaceful and green, in a better suburb of Slidell.
Response from owner on Nov 28, 2018
Our B&B is a replica of an old plantation and was once a private school. GPS has far improved guests finding us but being only 1 turn off the interstate, it isn't that difficult to find. Of course we always are available if you need assistance in finding us; our phone number is provided when you book.

Accommodating owners and amazing breakfast
The owner were accommodating and it was nice to stay in an older style house. The breakfast was great and way better than the Marriott. Everything was homegrown, even down to the honey and jams.

Great escape
We enjoyed the hospitality and breakfast. The hosts were friendly and accommodating. We had a choice of staying in a city hotel in New Orleans or at this B&B and we are gad we selected the B&B, it was worth the 30 minute drive from the city.
Response from owner on Nov 28, 2018
Thank you! Many enjoy a little peace and quiet when they travel and our little quiet cove is a perfect spot to relax after a fun filled day of site seeing in the city, but it also is close by lovely nature trails or to enjoy the water by boat or kayak...either alone or by tour. We look forward to assisting our guests make their site seeing plans. Just ask!

Woodridge B&B in Pearl River-A real pearl!
This is an ideal B&B to visit If you are going to be in New Orleans area especially during Mardi Gras. Very close to the city and convenient for the surrounding area. This place has lots of southern charm and is spacious in both the grounds and the rooms. The innkeepers are wonderful and accommodating in every aspect. I highly recommend this B&B...
Response from owner on Nov 28, 2018
Thank you! Many find a stay here to be the quiet reprieve after a action packed day. New Orleans during Mardi Gras and other major event periods can be rather loud. Fun to partake but the need to truly relax can not be fulfilled in much of the city. With only 5 guest rooms and in an area we call our quiet haven, our guests find this to be a great place to relax and refresh. - And we are only 35 miles to the French Quarter.....
