  • We just returned from a week vacation in NO. Staying at Ron and Mark's place added so much to our enjoyment. It is located close to the Quarter but adjacent to Frenchmen St. which offers the best Jazz in the city. There are also plenty of very good restaurants and bars in the neighborhood. We explored the city more like locals than tourists. This property had everything. It was a great find and I would not hesitate to rent again if it was available. (rental calendar fills up fast). We have had many good experiences while renting properties all over the world and this was certainly one of the best.

  • Just as the rest of the guests have said, Ron & Mark's Creole Cottage was great! The location is perfect for escaping the craziness of Bourbon Street, but close enough to the French Quarter (3 blocks) that you could walk everywhere. The hot tub and backyard was a very peaceful and relaxing addition that we could not have experienced if we were at a hotel. Ron was a very gracious host and left plenty of New Olreans maps, guide books, and recommendations for great places to eat and visit. He was only a phone call away when we needed anything and even recommended his neighbor as our personal cab driver for the week! The decor of the house is modern, but also gives you that old New Orleans feel. Thanks for a great week!!

  • Hi Ron & Mark, Just wanted to send a very belated but heartfelt Thank You for allowing us to stay in your truly lovely home during our visit to N.O. last week. We had such a great time getting to know your amazing city, and hope for an opportunity to return sometime in the future. It was such a pleasure to return each evening, after a long (but fun and exciting) day of sight-seeing, to relax in your beautifully-appointed home. We felt completely spoiled and pampered!!! We send our very best wishes for all your future endeavors, Marianne & Jack

  • We stayed at 1829 Creole cottage for 4 nights in May 2009. It was a great place--convenient, attractive and very roomy for two. It would be no problem for 4 people as long as you are family or close friends. Ron and Mark were very helpful and had some good suggestions, especially for restaurants. They recommended Marigny Brasserie, a few blocks away. Great food and reasonable prices -- especially compared to the French Quarter. It was so good we went back for a second time on our last night in NO. The house is located within walking distance of the Quarter and the Marigny Triangle, has ample room and pleasant surroundings, and is less expensive than a hotel. The hosts don't invade your space, but are available and cordial if you need any help or suggestions.

  • My husband and I were simply delighted when we arrived at Ron and Mark's cottage. The accommodations are so comfortable, Ron and Mark have wonderful taste and we really enjoyed our surroundings. There were lovely personal touches that Ron and Mark add to the whole experience. This was our aniversary weekend, and they delivered some wine and cheese to us, so lovely and what a great snack in the wee hours. (We are in NOLA of course). I am happy to recommend this place to friends, and already have. But have warned them that when my husband and I return to New Orleans that we have "dibs" on this place if it is avail!

  • What a great place! We've stayed at many vacation rentals here in the United States and throughout Europe and this is one of the BEST! It is lovely, comfortable and thoughtfully well appointed. It is convenient to the French Quarter,close to wonderful restaurants and jazz clubs. Mark and Ron are great hosts and very willing to offer assistance or answer questions. We will definitely be returning.

  • As Tina Turner would say, "You're simply the best. Better than all the rest..." You guys nailed it. This place is awesome. Nothing was missed. The cottage is a short walk to the quarter. Lots of restaurants deliver so if you are tired after a long day, Ron and Mark will give you some suggestions. You can kick back and relax to their great collection of music. Some of our highlights were: Pearl River Eco Tour in Slidell. Capt. Neil gives a fun tour. Stop for lunch at Turtle Landing Cafe on Hwy 60 E. A dive, but a NICE dive. Eat outside on the swamp. Mulate's for great food, music and dance. Try the blackened catfish and fried gator. WWll Museum. Need I say more? Laura and Oak Alley Plantations in Vacherie. Stop for a meal at B&C Seafood and Cajun. The owner will even show you how to eat the crawfish. Lots of good stuff to take back to the cottage. We chose New Orleans to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary not knowing any one. We left with great memories and 2 new wonderful friends. Ron and Mark. Thank you both for everything. When you get back to San Francisco look us up. We know a couple of great places to take you to lunch. Hugs, Bob and Marilyn Novato, CA

  • We spent 9 days at Pauger Street cottage and truly enjoyed our stay. We have visited NOLA every April for the past 5 or 6 years and have always stayed in the Marigny. Ron & Mark were wonderful hosts, loved the privacy & private hot tub, slept like a baby in the great bed. An all around wonderful stay. Absolutely recommend.

  • My husband and I stayed at Ron & Mark's lovely creole cottage for 2 1/2 weeks last winter and we had an absolutely fantastic time. The accommodations are delightful, the amenities are perfect and Ron & Mark are the most gracious hosts. The cottage is in a wonderful neighborhood, close to the French Quarter, the Charles Street trolly and to all the great jazz clubs on Frenchmen Street. I've been to New Orleans many times and this cottage was my favorite place to stay, It fun to ' live like a local outside the french Quarter.' Stay here, it a great experience!
