And after reading some of these comments, while the house is not updated by today’s standards, it is still absolutely perfect. You know those houses where you just instantly feel at home? Well, this is it.

If I had the money, I’d buy it in a heartbeat and continue the B&B. The current owners actually live in the house – in the area behind the brick living room that was M’Lynn and Drum’s bedroom in the movie.

If this house were updated, it would lose its charm. Filled with antiques and history, still it lacks no modern convenience, and the bathrooms were fantastic. Best water pressure ever and the bed was the most comfortable mattress we have ever slept on.

Just got back from an amazing girls weekend at this B&B. Thanks to this blog post we found out about the house!.

The town is amazing and if you are a big fan you must arrange a tour (the B&B can do it for you) with Mrs. Lori Tate – the local who played Jackson’s mom in the film. She will take you around to all the filming locations and share her stories with you. It was wonderful!

That’s so neat that you got to meet them and stay here!

I stayed here in 2008 and wrote a letter to Robert Harling, the play/ movie author, before I arrived, hoping to meet him. While I was touring the filming sites, my cell phone rang… It was his parents, the real life Drum and M’Lynn, calling to arrange a coffee date with me! I met them here in this house and they still cry when talking about their daughter ( the real life Shelby was named Susan) it’s a true story and still so real to the family it happened to . Amazing life moment.

My sister, Nancy jo and I used to text the lines from that movie back and forth to each other. We knew it by heart. Nancy died last November. I have not yet been able to watch the movie. I may not ever be able to watch it again. But the memories are good.

I’m so glad you said you watched Steel Magnolias on Netflix– I immediately added it to my queue and watched it within the day! What a great, touching movie, and a welcoming home. Too bad I don’t have an extra $2M laying around….

Now the only thing missing is a red velvet armadillo cake in the kitchen!

How fun to take a peek inside, and see how much is the same! My Mom went to school in Natchitoches, and it’s still her favorite town in the whole world. It is quite charming!

I am so happy they didn’t change it. Before I read the post I was totally expecting it to be all updated and not even resemble the movie house. Pleasantly surprised by this one.
