First time in New Orleans!

We had a lovely four night stay on New Orleans! So close to activities and within walking distance. Betsy was so very kind, welcoming, and accommodating. We had a wonderful breakfast poolside each morning. Couldn't have had a happier stay. Thank you, Betsy!

Charming property and host!

Our family group of 3 couples stayed and loved the B&B. The 3 guest rooms are themed and very nice. The old house is very cool and there is a nice backyard with pool. Breakfast was good every morning. Betsy is a sweetheart and it was like staying with a friend!!! We will be back!!

Friends trip

We had a great time in Nola! Loved Betsy’s house. She was very nice and we loved her dogs. They were very friendly. Bourbon street was a little further away but Frenchmen street was pretty close. We had never been to that area and really enjoyed it there. We would stay here again.
