602 Louisa St, Unit B, New Orleans, LA 70117

Bywater Cottage 600 Louisa St Unit B Street is a historic landmark leased by the month with a minimum 28-day rate. The original cottage was built directly after the Civil War from 1866 through 1868 when completed. The estate's two-bedroom guest suite are the original rear parlor rooms for the purported brothel until 1892. The Guest suite's history can be seen in the elaborate brick fireplaces dated 1870 and the old heart pine Wainscott. This Italianate Creole home boasts high ceilings with race memorabilia juxtaposed with an 1870 armoire and side table, crown moldings, magnificent brickwork, and fine furnishings. The original H.H. Slawson Plantation's stables and carriage grounds are now our gardens and pavilion area for leisure outdoor time or a comfy remote work office. Your zoom colleagues will be jealous! This Southern home includes all the modern comforts with updated appliances and amenities. Walk to the local Bywater venues or be adventurous and head to the Faubourg Marigny or French Quarter. After a day of touring the city or walking the riverfront return to your guest home to allow yourself a shaded retreat in the courtyard or pavilion. In the evenings enjoy the courtyards and gardens while cicadas and tree frogs and a glass of wine lull you into the New Orleans state of mind! Historic preservation evokes charm and elegance throughout the property. Furnishings have been acquired from movie sets such as AMC new series Interview with a Vampire and the Christmas production starring Harry Connick Jr and Willie Nelson rocking away the hours. Our charm is locked into the mortar from actors and actresses, musicians, writers, athletes, and everyday joe and Jane who have laid the foundation for our guest cottages! The next generation of magic is coming to life with artists in residence who work remotely bringing the BYwater fantastic new minds to the draw of the South! Artists and Remote workers are swayed away from Netherlands, Japan, Germany, Norway, England, and of course Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis, Atlanta, and Baltimore. Without all of your patronage, we would not be able to preserve this amazing space. *Nearest Commercial Airport: Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (~17 miles away) *Mid to Long Term Rental Only - Please inquire if interested in staying 28 days or longer.
