We're so grateful to have met Adrienne and Bill and to have had the opportunity to stay at their home for two nights. My husband and I were on our "babymoon" (relaxing vacation before our second baby's due) and wanted to stay in the quiet Garden District. I've always admired the gorgeous old homes in the area and was pleased to find one we could "live" in. A & B were such warm and hospitable hosts, and their 130yr old mansion was equally as inviting. I'm an architecture and history nerd, so this place was a dream. :) A also gave us great info on the house and area recommendations. The home is very easily walkable to the streetcar line, Commander's Palace, Magazine St, and historic or celebrity homes you would learn about on a Garden district tour.
We stayed in the Red Room, which was cozy and historically decorated with added quirks and charm. Comfy bed, good water pressure in the clawfoot tub/shower, private fridge and laundry were nice bonuses. A & B provided us with a fan to help cool our room (I'm pregnant and get hot!).
I loved floating in their pool in back - perfect water temp to cool off in the NOLA humidity, and it was nice to get visits from A & B's two friendly outdoor dogs. They do have indoor cats, which I'm allergic to, but we never saw them nor could my allergies even sense them.
I've shared photos of the beautiful home and a lot of friends are now hoping to stay at the PB Mansion next time they're in town. My husband and I are on our third consecutive year visiting NOLA, and definitely plan to stay with A & B again in the annual trips to come!
