Romantic retreats
I couldn’t think of a more perfect place for a couple’s escape. These 19th-century cottages, with their private courtyards and peaceful vibe, made me feel like I was in a love story. Whether you’re celebrating or just reconnecting, you’ll feel it here.

Historic stays
If you love history like I do, you’ll be thrilled to know Audubon himself once lived here. Surrounded by antiques and French Quarter flair, I felt like I’d stepped into another time—with all the comfort of today.

Personalized service
I was blown away by the attention to detail. Having a dedicated French Quarter Butler made everything effortless. From daily turndown to thoughtful touches, you’ll feel completely taken care of.

Luxury escapes
When I needed to unwind, I found myself floating in the heated saltwater pool or curled up in a courtyard nook with a book. The spaces here are just so peaceful, so private—you’ll feel truly pampered.

Local exploring
You’re steps from Bourbon Street, but once you’re back inside, it’s all calm. I loved being able to wander to Jackson Square, catch live jazz, and then retreat back to my quiet cottage at night.

Facilities

  • I loved the private, guest-only saltwater pool—warm, peaceful, and perfect after a day out.
  • The gardens are full of character, with wrought iron chairs where I’d sip morning coffee or evening wine.
  • The Garden House is gorgeous—I saw a couple setting up for an intimate wedding and it felt so special.
  • Housekeeping was consistent, and that nightly turndown made coming back feel even more welcoming.
  • My butler made everything easier—from restaurant tips to last-minute champagne. You’ll love having that kind of care.
  • Breakfast was a lovely ritual—fresh pastries, cheeses, fruit… simple and delicious.
  • Valet parking was smooth and worth it—especially when the Quarter is busy.

Accommodations

Antique-Furnished Cottages
I stayed in one of these suites with a semi-private courtyard and loved the mix of antique style and comfort. The soaking tub and organic bath products felt like a mini spa moment.

Garden House
If you’re traveling with a group or want more space, this is a great pick. I peeked inside—it’s got courtyard views, a kitchen, and a cozy living room setup.

I toured this one and loved the Jacuzzi tub and private courtyard—it’s ideal for couples wanting quiet luxury.

Cottage Three
Full of character with antique details and a faux fireplace. The natural light and courtyard views made this feel like a serene hideaway.

This two-story cottage has a shaded courtyard and balcony—I could picture myself sipping coffee up there every morning.

Cottage Five
It’s classic New Orleans style—antique touches, a faux fireplace, and a peaceful courtyard shared with Cottage Six. Great if you’re staying with friends.

Cottage Six
A one-bedroom that connects to Cottage Five if you need extra space. It felt private and perfect for a solo escape or couple’s weekend.

Cottage Seven
This one has history—Audubon used it as a studio. Staying here felt inspiring, surrounded by heritage and charm.

Dining

Each morning, I started the day with a fresh continental breakfast—flaky pastries, fruit, cheeses, and great coffee. You don’t need anything fancy when it’s done this well.

Events & Special Occasions

Whether it’s a wedding, vow renewal, or private party, the cottages and Garden House create the most magical setting. I saw a ceremony while I was there, and it felt like something out of a movie—bar service, courtyard lights, the works.

You’re in the perfect spot to soak in the French Quarter’s energy. I walked to Bourbon Street for live music, ducked into art galleries, and grabbed beignets near Jackson Square. When you’re done exploring, you’ll be thankful to return to your peaceful cottage haven.
