Let’s get started!

Imagine having your own private cottage in the French Quarter, right where the rollicking “Vieux Carré” scene spills into the famous old jazz dens of Frenchmen Street.

Located on the grounds of the stately Lanaux Mansion — itself a piece of New Orleans history — the sweetly named Sophie’s Enchanted Cottage combines all the grace and charm of a bygone era with every modern comfort you could want — wi-fi, air conditioning, a sitting area for when you need to get some work done, and a flat-screen HDTV for when you don’t.

You’ll enter the Lanaux property through a private gate off Chartres Street, and pass through your own garden courtyard — a wonderful place for relaxed coffees or cocktails — on the way to your newly renovated rooms.

Once inside, you’ll instantly start to feel at home. The former kitchen storehouse has high, airy ceilings and large windows to let in plenty of natural light. Whitewashed brick walls and tastefully rustic decor make it as homey as it is handsome.

Cottage

When you’re exhausted after a day of music, fun, and food, let the queen-size pillow-top welcome you with a good night’s rest.

Feel like sleeping in? Your private kitchenette has a microwave, coffeemaker, and fridge to hold groceries and leftovers, so breakfast is on your schedule, and the same goes for midnight snacks.
Need fresh laundry? The washer and dryer are right across the courtyard.

Everything you need is right here for you in this unique cottage rental in the French Quarter, though we imagine you won’t be spending too much time inside. After all, you’re mere steps away from the city’s best entertainment, restaurants, and bars.

Parking
New Orleans is a very walkable city. A car is generally not necessary. Our location is perfect for walking as we are right on the border that separates the French Quarter from the Faubourg Marigny and Frenchmen Street.

We are one block from the Riverfront Streetcar and several bike rental shops, as well as on the RTA (Regional Transit Authority) routes for bus service. Uber cars and taxis are easily accessible as well.

Should you decide to drive, there is often parking on Chartres Street (our side street) but it is first-come, first-serve, and it is limited to two hours. Many guests park here temporarily while they unload their bags and check in.

For longer-term parking, there are many lots within walking distance of The Lanaux Mansion. See How To Reach Us for more details.
Noise
New Orleans is known for its good times and late nights. When the City is full, guests who are light sleepers need not be disturbed as we provide a sound machine and earplugs in each room.
No Smoking
The Lanaux Mansion is a nonsmoking facility to protect the historic integrity of the property, as well as guests who may have allergies.
