My family stayed here for shelter before evacuating. Power was off but the one night we had in this beautiful house reminded us of how fun New Orleans normally is. We sat out on the deck overlooking the yard with lovely solar lights and torches drinking wine. Loved looking at the book of Top Ten ideas other guests have put on your cool blackboard. We vowed to come back and do every one. This is an amazing house that I would love to return to. And I will!
