About this property

French Quarter - New Orleans Charm in the Mountain

The Space:

Welcome to French Quarter Inn, where the soul of New Orleans meets the serenity of Lookout Mountain. This grand estate offers a refined escape for up to 28 guests—perfect for multi-generational families, reunions, milestone celebrations, and group getaways. With over 5,000 square feet of stylish comfort and luxury finishes, every detail of this mountain retreat invites relaxation, connection, and elevated living.



Step through the double doors into a bright, open-concept living area, where warm hardwoods, soaring ceilings, and custom-built bookcases frame the elegant stone fireplace. The chef's kitchen boasts high-end appliances, granite finishes, and generous counter space, making it a dream for group meals and entertaining. Multiple dining areas and a welcoming lounge flow effortlessly together, creating an ideal space for family game nights, shared meals, and meaningful moments.



Each of the six bedrooms is thoughtfully appointed with comfortable seating, stylish décor, and privacy in mind—offering everyone their own personal haven. The spacious master suite features a fireplace, spa-inspired bath, and its own screened-in porch for a truly indulgent retreat. Upstairs, the loft provides entertainment for all ages with a poker table, board games, and a dedicated snack and beverage bar.



Outside, the magic continues. Enjoy sunset views from the stunning bluffside courtyard, soak in the custom sunken mini pool/hot tub, or gather around the outdoor fireplace beneath twinkling lights. The screened porch—with a swing bed, fireplace, and dining table—offers the perfect setting to unwind after a day of adventure. Whether lounging in the cliffside double bed or gathered for an outdoor meal, every corner of French Quarter Inn is crafted to bring people together.



We’re excited to announce an upcoming enhancement to French Quarter: a thoughtfully designed playroom and gym combo being added to the garage space. This dynamic, shared area will blend fun and fitness, featuring a custom rock climbing wall, treehouse with a spiral slide, and an air hockey table alongside premium fitness equipment, including a Peloton bike, treadmill, and Tonal gym. We are also adding an out-of-this-world movie room. The photos in our listing are AI-generated to provide a look into the space once it is completed; some features may vary. Designed to appeal to both kids and adults, this one-of-a-kind space will elevate the guest experience and is scheduled for completion by March 2026.

Unique Stays was promptly responsive to various concerns we had. The house is incredible! There were plenty of rooms for our family of 11. It was fun to have a pool table, multiple fire places, lots of room for our four grandchildren to play and more. The large table in the dining area was big enough that we could all sit together for meals. There were several nearby playgrounds to which we could take our grandkids. We found a good church 20 minutes away in Ft. Payne. And there were lots of beautiful areas to hike. The views from the house and the in-ground hot tub were especially enjoyable with the cold weather. All in all, we had a grand time. We’re thankful to God for the blessing of staying in this great place.

The bunkbeds were unable to be utilized because they are in need of repair. They are unstable and wobbly. Neither Ice Maker operated and the fridge filter needed to be changed causing an alarm to sound consistently. The trash bins were full, and we had to haul off our garbage upon departure. The twin trundle beds are in need of repair, so it resulted in our guests sleeping on the mattress on the floor since the bunkbeds were also not usable. The home was clean and had great amenities and charm, but I feel that some attention should be put placed on some of the sleeping arrangements so that the space may accommodate the number of guests it advertises. There were water spots on the hall bath ceiling from old water leaks that have not been repaired and the 2nd bedroom on first level had some water stains on the rug. There was also a piece of wood missing from that room's window seal. The back door to the patio didn't secure and a stray dog was able to force himself into the space, even though the back door was in the locked position. Overall, the stay was pleasing but some attention to a good inspection of the items mentioned would make this property more enjoyable.
