Over 165 years ago  preparations for your visit began as hand-hewn cypress logs were notched into place.  Even now, we anticipate your arrival to this most unique 3-story Creole raised cottage listed on the National Register of Historic Places, located in the heart of the National Landmark District, and winner of the Architecture Restoration Award. 

     This unique original structure(circa 1836) which features exposed cypress logs/beams, cypress siding and sills, heart pine flooring, 12 foot celings, square-head nails, and doweled-pegged studs was raised during restoration and an entire brick first floor, commonly known as an above ground cellar, built underneath. 

     Be blessed as you enjoy Southern hospitality and experience "The Blessed House" as did the cast of Steel Magnolias when during the filming of the movie in the late 1980's the house served as their dressing room.  "The Blessed House"  is located directly behind one of the most famous filming sites, M'Lynn's house, and offers a bird's eye view of the famous wedding reception site.

     An abundance of history and charm await you.  "The Blessed House" is truly a special place for special people
