My husband and I spent 2 nights at Casa Pelican and can't wait to return. Karen was the perfect host who's place feels like home. Her communication is top notch. Our flight was delayed arriving to New Orleans and she kindly let us know she was heading to bed, but where to find a key. We were greeted by Gumbo the cat, king cake and a path of notes to find our room. We slept like babies in a bed that felt like we were in a cloud. Breakfast each morning was AMAZING!! Karen is a very talented chef and great conversationalist and we enjoyed having her with us while we devoured her spinach omelettes, buttermilk pancakes, bacon, andouille sausage ...yum!
