2 Bedroom House in Bywater, New Orleans

Welcome to the Historic Bywater Cottage at 3149 Chartres Street! This

charming Victorian guest house, built in 1892, offers 1,200 sq ft of cozy

comfort with modern amenities. Our two-bedroom cottage comfortably sleeps 4,

with room for up to 6 adults. Relax on the bayou-style porch, surrounded by

our charming courtyard and gardens. Next, explore the best New Orleans

neighborhoods by stepping out into the vibrant Bywater, Faubourg Marigny, and

the French Quarter discovering local dining, music, and art in the heart of it

all! With off-street parking and an inspiring remote work setup, this is your

perfect New Orleans getaway!

The mystic of this true historic gem, lovingly restored in its Southern charm

with modern comforts, offers an unforgettable experience for guests. Nestled

behind a garden gate, the quaint cottage is the perfect place for a cozy

escape and near minutes from Bourbon Street shenanigans.

As you approach the cottage, the bayou-style porch welcomes you, featuring a

125-year-old pew and inviting southern rockers—a perfect spot to sip morning

coffee while taking in the quiet hum of the neighborhood. Step inside to find

high ceilings and original hardwood floors that echo the elegance of its 1892

Victorian roots. Every corner of this guest house tells a story; from the

antique furnishings to the unique pieces sourced from movie sets, including

“Interview With a Vampire” and the holiday classic “Angels Sing” starring

Harry Connick Jr. and Willie Nelson.

The property sits on the estate of the original H.H. Slawson Plantation, where

the former stables, Smitty house, and carriage grounds have transformed into

lush gardens and pavilion areas. These serene outdoor spaces are perfect for

leisurely afternoons with a book, evening gatherings, or even a unique remote

office setup. Imagine hosting virtual meetings with the charm of a Southern

Garden as your backdrop—choose from 9 different areas so your colleagues will

surely be envious, with a different picturesque backdrop each day!

Beyond the garden walls lies the vibrant Bywater neighborhood, bursting with

creativity and soul. Walk to the local cafes, shops, and venues that give

Bywater its unique character (see links

[here](https://bywatercottages.com/bywater-neighborhood/)), or wander a bit

further to the lively streets of Faubourg Marigny and the historic French

Quarter for a taste of New Orleans' famed music, food, and nightlife. After a

day exploring the city or strolling along the riverfront, return to your

private oasis. The courtyard and pavilion invite you to unwind as cicadas and

tree frogs sing you into a true New Orleans state of mind.

This cottage is not just a place to stay; it is a living piece of history.

Built on the same grounds as the estate’s original Creole cottage, constructed

between 1866 and 1868 right after the Civil War as a brothel, it is a

testament to the city’s enduring spirit. The walls have absorbed the energy of

artists, musicians, writers, and travelers from all walks of life. It

continues to inspire a new generation of creators, including jazz artist Josh

Harmon! Our home is always drawing in minds from cities like Detroit, Chicago,

Minneapolis, Atlanta, New York and Baltimore, not to mention Europe and Asia.

By choosing this cottage, you become part of its rich legacy, helping preserve

this magical space for future guests.

Additional perks include off-street parking and proximity to a host of local

attractions, from James Beard Award semi-finalist eateries like BABS formerly

known as Bywater American Bistro to the vibrant music scene at The Spotted Cat

Music Club and the experiential space JAMNOLA. Whether y'all seek a short-term

retreat or a longer stay (28 days or more), the Historic Bywater Cottage

promises an experience filled with the warmth, culture, and magic that define

New Orleans.

Summary: We loved staying here! There are 2 houses on the property, the main house with multiple units, and the house we stayed in that was completely separate and had 3 bedrooms. There was a common courtyard area with multiple seating areas and it has an artistic vibe. At night the lighting in the courtyard is beautiful. The house was clean and had everything you need for a stay. The whole property is fenced and gated including the parking which was great as well. The neighborhood was a nice surprise too. It is full of shops, restaurants, cafes, and bars. The whole neighborhood is an awesome sensory experience! We loved Elizabeth’s, Frady’s Markeys Bar, the Petite Clouet, and the Bywater Bakery. It is super dog friendly too. We had our teenage daughter with us and although.she did not get to experience the nightlife, she liked the restaurants and walking through the neighborhood and looking at homes. Crescent park was fun too and you can cross into it just a block down. You can walk almost all the way to the French Quarter through the park. Michael and Ramona were awesome hosts and gave us great advice to get the most out of the area! We will definitely be back.
