A Real Home while on Vacation

I was in New Orleans for a convention and wanted a safe, place to stay for a week with lots of character. This place did not disappoint. It is exactly as depicted in the pictures with working air conditioning and very clean. The sheets and towels are high quality and the bed is a large King bed (with steps to get onto it!). Ron and Mark met us when we arrived and Ron oriented us to the area and the closest restaurants and grocery stores with a map so we never got lost. We walked all over the French Quarter, the Central Business District, and the Garden District and found many great places to eat every day - we are vegetarian and loved Mona's on Frenchmen, The Louisiana Pizza Kitchen across from The French Market, Green Goddess on Exchange Alley, Nirvana (Indian) on Market street in the Garden District, and Carmo on Julia in the Central Business District. I used the streetcar to get to the convention center or just walked there (about 30-40 minute walk) and my husband worked from the house during the day with no problems - the internet connection was great. This was a super comfortable home-away-from-home for the week and very quiet. We slept well every night and never even needed our sleeping pills! We felt like locals. I look forward to my next opportunity to visit New Orleans - there are still so many things we didn't have time to see or do.

We had a wonderful first week in NOLA and enjoyed staying in this beautiful cottage. Ron and Mark were wonderful and provided maps, lists of restaurants, and tips for NOLA. The accommodations were as pictured, clean, and comfortable. We especially enjoyed walking to dinner and the friendly local people. Everyone was very friendly and warm. We enjoyed eating at Snug Harbor, the Marigny Brassiere, and in the quarter, Fiorelle's and Deanie's Seafood, and of course, Cafe du Monde. We hope to go back soon!

We absolutely loved our stay! The house was sooooo nice and clean, the bed was SO comfortable and Mark and Ron were so helpful and welcoming! We were just blocks from the French Quarter shops and eateries, easy to walk to, without concerns of safety. I definitely look forward to staying here again, certainly a home away from home!

Thank you for providing such a beautiful place to stay during my visit to New Orleans. I appreciated the clean and eclectically decorated space as well as the peacefulness! I was welcomed by Ron and Mark with a glass of wine after travelling all day. That is hospitality! I would stay here again and highly recommend it. It was very easy to walk to the French Quarter each day and around the block from Frenchman Street and many yummy restaurants. I will dream of returning!

FANTASTIC ACCOMMODATIONS

We just returned from staying at Ron and Mark’s Creole Cottage for four nights. It has everything you could possibly want while visiting the New Orleans area. Washer/Dryer, the most comfortable bed, private garden and hot tub. It’s a very easy walking distance to everything the Quarter has to offer. Ron met us upon arrival, gave us the complete tour of the Cottage and provided a map of favorite restaurants. We LOVED Fiorellas. If you are researching for accommodations in New Orleans and want to live like a local, this is the place. We’ve been to New Orleans many times and will plan our next trip around the availability of this wonderful place. Thanks Ron and Mark for allowing us the use of your Cottage.

Our wonderful vacation in New Orleans was made all the more perfect by having this sweet, comfortable cottage to call home for 2 weeks. It is beautifully decorated & furnished & has all the extra touches that make it feel like home away from home. The location makes for easy, safe walking yet we found it to be very quiet. Ron & Mark were great & very helpful hosts who shared many wonderful tips & recommendations to help us discover the city. Thank you Ron & Mark for your warm & generous southern hospitality. We will be back. Janice & Gary Lee, Northern California

My husband and I spent nearly 3 weeks here over the Christmas holidays. We visit New Orleans 3 -4 times a year but have never found a more perfect place to stay. Ron and Mark are lovely and have created a beautiful space to share with guests. The beautiful rooms were each decorated for Christmas including a real tree and Christmas lights inside and out. This place had all the modern comforts without losing the charm and character of the age of the house and the feel of the city.

Lived up to expectations because everything is as described. We walked everywhere because it was only a few blocks. The bed was most comfortable and it was great to have so much space to stretch out in. Enjoyed every moment of our stay.
