Great guest cottage

This is a wonderful place to stay while visiting New Orleans. The cottage was very comfortable and well-appointed, in a quiet, safe neighbourhood. We cook most of our meals when we travel and the kitchen was great, with many essential items provided by the host. The garden is lovely and gives a very relaxing vibe. If we return to New Orleans, we will stay with Susan and Eldon again.

I’ve stayed in a lot of rentals but I’ve never seen so much care for a cottage than Susan gave this one! We felt very welcomed with her snacks, wine and even beads/masks provided for mardi gras. Cottage was clean, in a safe neighborhood and just a short drive to French Quarter which is what we wanted as we had a rental car and needed parking. I recommend this rental to anyone who wants to explore such a unique city.

Picturesque garden courtyard setting

The cottage is so nicely appointed, but the courtyard setting makes it feel like an oasis. And if that wasn't enough, the hosts are simply the best we've ever had. A personalized sign welcoming us, the fridge full of breakfast food, snacks, and a bottle of champagne with chilled glasses waiting for us! WHO DOES THAT? Answer... these hosts! And 1 more thing... the location is excellent. the fridge

Amazing! Home Away From Home! Cozy Cottage close to everything!

The landlords were very courteous, helpful and awesome! The cottage is very cozy and is surrounded by a very tranquil garden and Goldfish Pond! We were so grateful to Mrs Susan and Mr Eldon, they went out of their way to ensure our stay was great! The location of the cottage is very close to every venue you can imagine but far enough to not be crowded or bogged down with traffic. Will definitely be returning and booking again soon!

Great stay at New Orleans Guest Cottage

Located in the Lakeview community of New Orleans, the Cottage is a great central location for your exploration of New Orleans and all its amenities. We were greeted by Susan and Eldon on arrival making the check in very easy. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed for our week stay. The kitchen was stocked with many extra New Orleans treats and surprises. Cottage is quiet, private, and comfortable. Susan and Eldon are wonderful hosts with suggestions and useful guides. We had a great time and will return.

Beautiful Cottage in a Secret Garden

From the moment we stepped into this wonderful Secret Garden we fell in love. The garden area is such a beautiful, relaxing spot. From the perfect plantings to the wonderfully peaceful water features. Plus there was a private garden in the rear of the cottage just for us! The cottage was perfect! Very comfortable furnishings and lovely decor and very clean. The kitchen is fully equipped if you should want to cook. The neighborhood is very quiet. It is a nice walk straight to Lake Pontchartrain. We were surprised to see so many things in the refrigerator for our first breakfast there. It was our 40th anniversary and we were greeted with a Happy Anniversary sign as we entered the garden. Plus there was a bottle of chilled champagne in the refrigerator and bottle of wine at the dining table. Susan and Eldon were wonderful hosts. The cottage location is an easy, less than 20 minute drive into New Orleans. We are already talking about when we will return to this great area and and peaceful cottage.

The cottage was absolutely perfect for us! It was decorated so beautifully and all the special little touches made such a huge impact on our stay. All the added little touches - the coffee, tea, snacks and drinks in the fridge, the New Orleans special treats, the welcome letter from Susan and Eldon, and the beautiful outdoor areas - made this cottage the most wonderful place we have ever stayed. The bed was very comfortable, as well as the comfort of the furnishings. I could have stayed for weeks! Very easy to get to, really liked the boulevards! Great food within the area. Safe and beautiful neighborhood to walk around in and the people of New Orleans were so friendly. Loved our stay and would absolutely come back again but stay longer next time! Susan and Eldon were wonderful hosts and have an absolutely amazing place!

Just perfect!

This sweet cottage is just as portrayed in the VRBO catalog. Actually - it's better. The gardens and curving paths past beautiful tropical plantings are a bonus. The cottage itself is charming, clean, comfortable, and VERY well stocked with necessities, nice-to-haves, and yummy treats and beverages. In addition, the property is less than 20 minutes to the French Quarter and Nat'l WW II museum, the West Bank, Airport, and lots more. And, perhaps most importantly, it is safe. The owners are perfect hosts and live in a separate home on the property. If you need directions or suggestions, you can comfortably ask the hosts. We hope to return next year and we'll tell our friends and family about this wonderful property.

The best home we have booked on VRBO

I don’t even know where to start. Susan and Eldon are the most gracious hosts. They left some basic item in the fridge to make us feel welcome (juice, water, yogurt, soda, bread, eggs , and more). Then they also left us some yummy snacks to try. The home was clean and warm and inviting. And their backyard garden is like a Monet painting. When we come back to New Orleans, we will definitely booked this place again.

Delightful cottage with exemplary hosts

This adorable cottage exceeded our expectations. A welcome sign with our names greeted us and that was just the first of many surprises! Champagne, wine, cheese, pralines and more along with breakfast items and many other treats were laid our for our pleasure, A comprehensive list of local eateries was provided along with maps and informations on New Orleans sites. Check in was easy and Susan and Eldon checked in with us to see if there was anything else we needed. Because of the 100 year snow storm, our dates were changed at no charge, Susan kept us posted prior to arrival as to road conditions. What a joy to arrive at this adorable home away from home. As an artist, I loved the collection of art work and the amazing photographs. Even with the snow damage, my partner thoroughly enjoyed all the landscaping treats surrounding the cottage. We are definitely looking forward to returning to New Orleans and and staying with Susan and Eldon again.
