About this property
The Mazant: Renovated 1880s Bywater Mansion w/Pool
'The Coolest Airbnb in Louisiana' by Condé Nast Traveler (2021).
The Mazant is a historic mansion located in the Bywater arts district of New Orleans - about 1-1/2 miles from the French Quarter (30 minutes walking / 8 minutes by Uber). We have 5,000 square feet of indoor space and 9,000 square feet of outdoor space.
Our home is professionally cleaned and sanitized using properly rated disinfectant for COVID-19, as outlined by the WHO.
Over the past several years we have renovated the property, seeking to preserve historic details including 13' ceilings with plaster medallions, heart pine wood floors, cypress doors, and a 175+ year old oak tree. At the same time, we also updated the layout to more comfortably accommodate large groups:
* 18-person dining room table * Oversized living room with 75-inch television and Baldwin upright-piano * 12’ x 24’ heated pool and spa * Private yard (1/3 acre) with fire pit, six-burner propane BBQ, outdoor table, and hammocks * Super-fast WiFi (the best tier that Cox offers) * Front porch (gallery) with historic gas lamps and outdoor seating * Off-street parking for two cars and ample street parking for overflow * Viking kitchen appliances
The house has eight bedrooms with layout as follows:
Downstairs - Bedroom 1: one queen bed (semi-private bathroom - shower) - Bedroom 2: one queen bed (ensuite bathroom - shower)
Upstairs - Bedroom 3: one double bed and one single bed (ensuite bathroom - shower/tub combo) - Bedroom 4: one double bed - Bedroom 5: two twin beds - Bedroom 6: one king bed - Bedroom 7: two queen beds (semi-private bathroom - shower) and pull out sofa bed (double) - Bedroom 8: one king bed
There is another shared bathroom upstairs (near the laundry room) with a clawfoot tub-shower combo.
The caretaker’s cottage is not available for rent. Our onsite caretaker is available to handle requests/questions throughout your stay.

The Mazant couldn’t be more wonderful! It was a perfect location with many walkable restaurants nearby and the house has plenty of room for everyone. Can’t recommend enough.
Came with a large group of friends, and had the most wonderful time. House was large enough that no-one felt on top of each other. Renovation was very well done, and the decorating was very thoughtful. Loved the neighborhood as well.
Beautiful renovated property in the Bywater. Great place to stay away from the crowds and busy streets of New Orleans. Try The Joint BBQ down the street, some real nice folks in there.

Beautiful, comfortable home and gracious host!
This was the perfect house for our family gathering of 14 adults. The house was beautifully decorated and had plenty of beds and bathrooms for all of us! Jeff was the best host ever, made us feel right at home. Easy Uber rides to the quarter. We would go back in a heartbeat!
The house is beautiful, well-appointed, and in a convenient location. We were 16 people, 8 adults, and 8 kids who ranged from 4-18 years old. There was plenty of room for all of us, including an alcove of three rooms for our teenagers and loads to do, including relaxing in the pool and hot tub- even though it was January.
What a wonderful celebration at the most magicl place! Our good friends suggested Mazant after spending Thanksgiving there last fall. We were celebrating our 50 th wedding anniversary with children and grandchildren and could not have found a more perfect place. We did leave the property for a special blessing at St Louis Cathedral, a visit to the French Quarter for beignets, a little shopping and jazz music, but time at the Mazant was the best part of our stay. The pool, the side yard for badminton, the patios for enjoying homemade pizzas and a shrimp boil were amazing. The house itself is even more beautiful than the photographs. Every room functional and beautiful. Comfy beds and sofas, nice bathrooms and kitchen and formal dining spaces were all appreciated. The books, games, art and historical documentation were enjoyed by everyone!
The Mazant is unbelievable. I cannot imagine there is a better vacation home in NOLA -- It has every amenity you could want, the house is freaking gorgeous (looks exactly like it does in photos) and the property management is extremely friendly/attentive. I would recommend The Mazant to anyone visiting NOLA, especially if you have a large group.
Stunning home and beautiful property, ideal for group gathering
Everything about our stay at the Mazant was top-notch. Communication, cleanliness, design and detail all exceeded expectations. It is a truly stunning property and was ideal for a friend weekend gathering. Will certainly recommend to others.
The house was perfect for a large group. There was plenty of room for everyone. The house is amazing with historical charm! The host was very responsive and gave great recommendations for local places to shop and eat. It’s just a few blocks from local transportation which makes it easy to get around town.
We have rented many houses for our large group and this house is one of the best we have stayed in!!
We loved this house so much!! The pool and hot tub were amazing after a long day of walking. The house has amazing art and we loved all of the history posted around. Location is great not far from Bourbon St just a few minutes drive. Thank you for sharing your home.
The Mazant is a beautiful and charming property that is the perfect space for a large group.
We stayed in mid-July 2021 with a group of 12 adults, most of us friends from college. While the weather was hot and steamy, all it took was a dip in the beautiful pool to cool off. It got cool enough in the evening that the hot tub was also a hit.
The inside of the house is stunning and tastefully decorated. 8 different bedrooms meant that each couple had their own space, there were more than enough bathrooms so that no one was ever waiting, and there were so many different places to congregate that it never felt like we were on top of each other. The kitchen was perfect for cooking for a large group.
Bywater is a vibrant neighborhood with many great bars and restaurants in addition to what the Quarter has to offer.
Jeff was a great host—responsive and clear in communicating.
I highly recommend The Mazant—you will be glad that you chose to stay at this property!
My family and I had an amazing stay at The Mazant. Such a beautiful home. Every detail was thought of and more and it was well worth every penny spent. I highly recommend staying there.
170yr old house that has been refurnished very well. Great for large groups. Centrally located and within walking distance to several eating establishments. On the edge of a ‘nice’ neighborhood just be sure to go towards the river when walking. Quite a little oasis in itself. Beds were great even for xxl people. (We were all former college football players). Very little parking and we had decide to use Uber for transportation. Excellent property management, very responsive and helpful. Amenities were not lacking. Well stocked kitchen in regards to dishes and tools. Most bedrooms are on 2nd level so not conducive to people with mobility issues. We would stay there again.
This house is just amazing it is way better in person! The house is well kept and clean, I love that the kitchen was well stocked and had just about everything I need it. The house was spacious and the bedrooms and bathrooms were great as well it was the perfect amount of space for me and my party of 10. Jeff is an awesome host he responded and answered my questions in a timely fashion. The house manger Kevin was just so sweet and nice and answered any questions I had during my stay. Also they just added a pool and jacuzzi in the yard. We were able to use the jacuzzi which was a perfect add on to the stay. Overall this house is great I will be booking this house again!
Beautiful property - full of southern hospitality!
Jeffrey was the most accommodating host! Immediately responsive to questions and so very thoughtful! Home is stunning! I only wish we could have stayed longer! I hope to return one day to see the new pool and hot tub! Outdoor living area is perfect for entertaining!
The house was absolutely gorgeous. The pictures online don't do it justice honestly. The beds and couch were very comfortable. Kitchen was easy more stocked with pots, utensils, spices, etc. than we thought it would be. We had a very big group (16 people) so we were concerned it could get a little sticky if people wanted to take a nap or watch tv and other ppl still wanted to party but the house is so big this was never an issue. If you are looking for a place that gives you the historic feel and vibe of new orleans this is it.
This property couldn’t have been more perfect! From the first second that we stepped in, we were in awe. From the decor, to the size, to the multiple outdoor spaces, and extra touches...everything was perfection. 12 of us stayed here for 4 nights and we were still discovering things the last days. The owners do a great job of making sure guests have everything they need, including bug spray, extra towels and wash clothes, coffee and more. I’ve stayed in many properties in Nola but this one by far tool the cake. Can’t wait to come back again.
