  • We loved the house. It had plenty of room for the 6 people in our party. Easy walking distance to the streetcar and nice to have Charlie's right across the street.

  • This place is awesome. So much more than what we expected. You could basically take your clothes and toiletries and just move in cause it has everything you would ever need. And it is decorated beautifully. Every room has a flat screen TV. The kitchen is loaded with anything and everything you need. All you need to provide is food and drink. Everything has been so well thought out and I will never stay anywhere else as long as this is an option. You have made me a customer for life. We loved everything about it. Thank you for helping make our trip to your beautiful city even better. I give it five stars. Just perfect!!!

  • Wow! We are so glad we found the Dryades House. It's been so beautifully remodeled and decorated (we especially loved all the New Orleans photos & touches). It's also in a great and safe location (close to the streetcar and we loved the folks at Charley's). Val & Renee were prompt and professional and we are looking forward to coming back again.

  • The house was just beautiful and so comfortable! Four of us vacationed there and each one of us had our own (3)flat panel TV at night. Location is wonderful right in the beautiful Garden District. We rented a car and it was great. Charlie's Steak House is right across the street and well worth dinner (opens at 5pm). I have already recommended this house to a co-worker and we intend to stay again on our next trip to NO!!! Thanks for a great time!

  • The Dryades House was a perfect choice for our family to stay at while we attended a wedding. It was bargain priced for our 7 family members. Inside, everything was immaculate and well maintained, with many nice touches such as coffee, a nice landscaping, and bathroom treats. It's vintage NO architecture, one side of an old (I think, 1912) double shotgun--living room, bedroom 1, bath, bedroom 2, and kitchen-- so a it offers a little less privacy than some, but also some authentic NO home living style from that period. It's also very centrally located. Our group made walking trips to Magazine Street and St. Charles, where a streetcar can conveniently be picked up to go downtown.

  • We had a great time in New Orleans and the Dryades House was perfect. What a beautiful home! Charlie's Steak House across the street was a wonderful place to have a drink and dinner. The St. Charles trolley was walking distance and got us where we wanted to go. Thanks for helping us to have a relaxing and memorable vacation.

  • Staying at The Dryades House was wonderful! It was a joy to relax on the front porch with the soothing sound of the fountain next door. The rooms were spacious. The lighting was great. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and perfect when I cooked dinner for 8. Also, it was neat to have a classic steakhouse (We ate there and loved it) across the street. I plan to stay here again.

  • We enjoyed the Dryades House at Mardis Gras 2009. It is the perfect location to take in the Uptown parades--only three blocks off most parade routes! This is a spectacular "shotgun" style New Orleans home with high ceilings and decorative fireplaces in nearly every room. The front porch is a great place to sit with a cup of New Orleans coffee and warm yourself in the sun. The interior rooms are richly decorated with elegant floor-to-ceiling curtains and fine linens. The kitchen is completely set for cooking, cabinets full of dishes and glassware. No detail has been overlooked, including a complete spice rack. I loved the high kitchen table and large refrigerator. There is plenty of closet space and nice fluffy towels in the bathroom. We brought two children on this trip, and the arrangement of the bedrooms allowed privacy to children and adults alike. The children loved the flat screen TV sets in each room! This is a great vacation rental for families or friends.
