THE HISTORY OF THIS AMAZING HOME
This elegantly decorated Creole Cottage built, “of columbage and bricked between post” circa. 1808, is one of the rarest examples of early Creole cottage architecture remaining to date. This home is in the first subdivision of New Orleans named Faubourg Marigny. The plantation was subdivided in March 16 1806. This home retains almost all of its original architectural features including; its rare Ram’s horn hinges and original latches on the French glass doors. There are also very outstanding long latches which were used to open and close the doors. The ceilings are original and are “dressed and beaded” which are rare to find intact to day. The mantels are the most distinguishing interior elements in Creole domestic architecture. Two of the mantels are box mantels in the style dating from the late 1700’s to 1810 with columns supporting a frieze having strong horizontal moldings. The floors are beautiful large plank and the original moldings are intact. This property was sold to one of the first women of color to purchase property in the United States. Madame Magdalene Baure’ purchased three lots which now form the sites of 1426 and 1434 Burgundy and of 928, 930 and 934 Kerlerec. This property now has 4 other cottages, two of which were believed to be very early barge board cottages from the early 1800’s most likely moved here at a later date. There is also a servant’s quarter at the back which is possibly one of the early buildings on the property. The main house and other cottages all have the conveniences of the modern home. This property is now a very quaint and lovely Guest House. Experience the amazing architecture very few ever get to see in a Languorous and Elegantly Decorated home constructed almost 200 years age.

Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose French Quarter
Living in Nashville TN we decided we Loved New Orleans so much that we could not stay away. Renting Hotels or Apartment once a Month was not working. So we bought our first Guest House in year 2000 in the 2300 block of Royal Street. We then decided that we very much enjoyed the experience of owning a guest house. So when the opportunity to Purchase The Kerlerec House in early 2004 so we did, and never looked back. Not to say that Katrina did not give us a major tail spin. But we persevered looked ahead. There are regular guests that have been staying at The Kerlerec Guest House since 1998 and come every year for Jazz Fest as well as for other events. These people are the reason that we love the ownership of our Guest House.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The wonderful architecture, the Ultimate Privacy You Enjoy, the Quite Neighborhood, the Relaxing Court Yards & the Comfortable feel of the Antique Furnishings, etc.

Diamond in the rough! Fun and a great value
Guest: Olivia and Pete
(Tinley Park)
Date of Stay: 12/26/11
Review Submitted: 01/02/12
We had so much fun staying here. We did not meet scott (the owner), but his assistant (wendy) and her husband were incredible. So welcoming and nice. First: For a 200 year old house, the place was spotless. And it was such a cool house, really a french quarter experience. It made me feel like a local. We stayed in the jazz club room it has a stained glass window in the bathroom and at least 12 foot ceilings. second: the best location I can imagine. Once you park, you do not have to get into your car again because everything in the french quarter is easily in walking distance. However, unlike staying anywhere else in the quarter, it is very easy to drive to. You don't have to cross bourbon street, or drive anywhere else in the super congestion. The house itself is on a very nice residential block. quiet and safe area so you can go experience the crazyness and then come back to your room and get good quiet sleep. I would say this is an especially great place to stay if you have kids. Overall, we really loved it and do plan to go back. I dont feel like my review can really capture how much we loved staying there.

Great Property For a Group

Review Submitted: 07/20/11
This property is great for a large group, especially if you rent the entire complex. The Scotts are top notch owners who definitly make sure that their customers are satisfied. We had a problem with our booking and they made sure we were taken care of. Couldn't for better people to deal with. The property's location makes it convenient enough to walk to the heart of the French Quarter should you desire but very reasonable for cab rides if you're feeling lazy. The property itself is a little rough around the egdes but in overall good shape, the interiors were all kept very clean and had all the necessary amenities. Jacuzzi is a great touch and very relaxing. There's a local grocery store with a free delivery service, definitly take advantage of it to stock up on anything you want for the house. The store is reasonably priced, especially for beer, and they deliver pretty quickly and are willing to work with you to make sure you've got everything you need. Spacious, private, good location and reasonably priced especially if you book for the offseason. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking to stay in the Big Easy.

Great location and lots of private room for guests

This is a great property - a bit dated on the outside (that happens when houses are 200 years old), but the inside has several independent rooms/suites that can accomodate a very large party. The walk to the heart of Bourbon St and the French Market is about 10 minutes - it's nice to be a few blocks away from the constant party. Scott, our host, was very informative and helped pick some local places to eat, etc.
Recommended for:Tourists without a car, girls getaway.
Kerlerec Awesome!

Review Submitted: 07/12/09
We rented the entire property for our church group, working in the 9th ward. The accommodations available through the church were not suitable for some in our group with health problems; no a.c., bunk beds, few bathrooms for the numbers, etc. I found Kerlerec and the "Scotts" who own the property were the greatest. Here are some great features: The Scotts were open and honest with the accommodations, very flexible with our ups and downs about who was coming and how many. Keep place in great shape, fixing anything that is needed House is amazing - a museum. Kitchen and common areas gave us the space and flexibility needed. Private outdoor places were great AC worked fantastic Location unbeatable. Minutes to 9th Ward and walked to French Quarter Neighborhood was amazing - all houses were old. The greatest.
