re: Best place to stay while in Natchitoches

Church Street Inn is downtown. There are also a ton of B&B options - Judge Porter House is nice (and right across from the KA house - LOL). The Cabin on the Cane is on the river and across the bridge from downtown. If you want something out of town, the Cane River Cottage and Guesthouse would be nice and only a short drive back in to town.

Hope this helps.
