If you are visiting New Orleans this is the place to stay! Jack and Betsey made a lasting impression on us the moment we checked in; they are the most charming and caring hosts you may ever encounter. The 150 year old Creole Cottage is thoughtfully arranged and stocked with the necessities. We enjoyed the extras provided; fantastic coffee in the morning and the voodoo chips with an Abita beer during our frequent stops back at the cottage to read the book of recommendations. Our favorites were: Satsuma for juice; breakfast at Elizabeth's Restaurant for a corpse reviver #2 (the juice + cocktail combo is sure to beat any hangover) and praline bacon; and Bacchanal Wine at night, everything here was delicious and the music is great. If you are needing to liberate yourself check out THE COUNTRY CLUB. It has a different vibe depending on when you visit, we found that at night and Sunday morning were the most fun. We only left the Bywater area a few times because we were having so much fun and the people here are so nice! We spent most of our time having hour long conversations with Betsey, Jack and all of the wonderful people who live in Bywater these people really understand what community means. We are planning on staying with Betsey and Jack often!!!
