The Oak Alley Plantation is a 19th-century property with eight cottages in Vacherie, Louisiana, about a one-hour drive from New Orleans. The three-pearl property, has an cinematic atmosphere, and the exterior actually makes an appearance in the film "Interview With A Vampire." Built for a sugar baron in 1837, the Greek Revival main house and its reproduced slave quarters draws tourists for guided tours. Unfortunately, admission to the tour isn't included in room rates. The Cottages here have one or two bedrooms plus kitchenettes or full kitchens and feature traditional decor and homey, if worn, interiors. And there is a diner-style restaurant with expensive entrees where lunch and a free country breakfast is served.
