About this property

Greenhouse Camelback in the Bywater

This recently renovated 2700 sq ft. Camelback Shotgun is an unusual out of the box Bywater Casa for the discerning Artist/Musician/film crew in residence, or short or long term travelers.
Meticulously designed by the owner/designer with 5 batches of reclaimed wood from various Louisiana locations: Lafayette, Covington, New Orleans and Natchez Mississippi as well 1600' of pine from the Hosier state of Indiana. This is a real living residence and not your typical Nola vacation rental property.

Greenhouse features a generous entry foyer, music parlor complete with Yamaha upright piano, Danelectro and Acoustic vintage amps, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, large open kitchen/grand room 800 sq ft. with 12' farm table, Verona Italian cook stove, 9' maple top island with complete pantry. The big kitchen room has 2 doors opening onto the 26' x 8' covered porch looking on to the west facing bucolic garden adorned with 6000 aged St Joe bricks and splendid church steeple views of the Marigny beyond. The kitchen space and music parlor can be made into one big space by opening up the 5' sliding barn door.

Designed with 1920's thru 50's Holophane, Dazor, Mg Wheeler and Benjamin lights, Emeco and Steelcase tanker chairs and Toledo, Lyon stools, this house is a throwback to the early days of ole American living. One of the best features of Greenhouse NOLA are it's vintage Philco, Zenith,Telefunken and Normande tube radios always tuned to the best of Nola's superb radio stations. There is a radio in each bedroom and in the kitchen. The House of Green comes with various books and music libraries and original artworks. Greenhouse's interior sheds character and charm from its carefully crafted reclaimed walls, use of vintage lighting, foundry molds and Americana artifacts throughout. There is also a sumptuous 600 CD archive of Jamaican, Brazilian, Latin, Indie, and assorted folk, blues, R&B, Jazz and Roots CD's.

This 9th Ward house is in proximity to St Roch, Crescent Park, The Marigny, Treme and The Quarter. The Bywater is infamously known for it's dive bars: Vaughn's, J&J's, BJ's, Markey's, and Bud Rips. Bacchinal and Mimi's are also close by. Greenhouse's "nom de rue" is mentioned in the 6th verse of Bob Dylan's "Tangled up in blue", and for those who are inclined to hear real good Live Music and don't want to just go to Frenchman Street, there's a large house list of the best music clubs in Nola and many recommended restaurants as well. This house uses energy efficient gas appliances, gas direct hot water heaters, mostly 60 watt bulbs or less, all dimmable and encourages a low carbon footprint for all users. There is an active train line that runs through the Bywater and Marigny neighborhoods, so beware light sleeper's. Greenhouse caters to respectful Artists and guests and is geared to longer short term visits. The pixs above should give ya a good vibe of what the house is all about, better pictures than words. Cheers and looking forward to seeing you soon.
Paz!

Mardi Gras Chill
The Greenhouse is an amazing property in a wonderful location. Mere minutes to some of the best bars and food New Orleans has to offer. Jedi is awesome to work with and has a house manager (Brooks) who makes the whole check-in process a dream.

Magical house in the Bywater
We couldn't have picked a better spot to stay for our Halloween trip to New Orleans. It rained for 3 days while we were here but we still managed to ride our bikes around and explore the beautiful city and in the downtime spend time as a group hanging around the Greenhouse listening to music, looking through the eclectic treasures in the home, and even putting together a puzzle. I have been to New Orleans many times and this time was no different than any other, I always end up feeling like I will live here one day. The Greenhouse is magnificent; a true inspiration to me as a future homeowner. Every item on the wall is placed to perfection, and each compliments the other as you find yourself getting lost staring at these incredible antiques. Jedi was more than a perfect host and touched base often about our reservation and making sure we had everything we needed for arrival. There was more than enough space for five of us, and with two floors it was easy to find peace and quiet away from the group. As was mentioned in the description of the place, and another salty reviewer noted, there is a train that passes from time to time by the property. The Bywater is one of our favorite places to stay because of this. It is a super mellow part of town, right out of earshot of the craziness of the French Quarter and partying. Instead, you do tend to hear the trains come by, but out of 5 of us staying there, not one of us would even consider this a reason not to stay here once again. I hope that we can book this property again; it was almost perfect that a tropical depression moved through for our trip because we actually spent more time inside than we usually would have. We hope to return to New Orleans again next year, and if we do, you bet, we'd love to stay here.

Would be 5 Stars if not for the TRAIN
Some of the other reviews mentioned the train, and I thought, "I've lived across the street from the train tracks before, this shouldn't be a big deal." But it was. The train is phenomenally loud, shakes the whole house, and can wake you up at any hour. You can tell this home has been lovingly remodeled and it contains a very cool curation of belongings. It's a delight to visit, but none of us got a good night's sleep.

Beautiful house! Train tracks 30 ft away & upstairs very hot
This home is absolutely beautiful, large common spaces where my friends and I can congregate and connect. It's close by and walking distance to lots of delicious restaurants as well. It's absolutely perfect when you are awake. Sadly, sleeping was not a thing as cargo trains honk loudly at all hours of the night. 2am, 4am, 5am, 6am, 7am. I didn't stare at the location map closely enough to see that the tracks were SO close to the house (on the same block) and that it is a VERY busy cargo route. I was not blind drunk during my stay in Nola and basically did not get to sleep much at all. Was my MO to be completely dead drunk each night, I might have been less bothered by this. Second, one of the bedrooms had a loft in it that was not yet ready for use, this meant that we didn't have a fan in one of the larger bedrooms upstairs which made it nearly unbearable for 2 of the guests who had to sleep in very warm rooms. Taking naps in the afternoon was not possible. The temperature climbed to close to 80 upstairs with the A/C not being able to bring it down during the day and night. I understand, it is July, it's hot and the home might not be super insulated. However, a fan was requested and there should be a fan in that room. We stayed without one. We closed curtains during the day but it didn't matter much.
