Experience Southern Hospitality and Old World Charm in this circa 1865 Italianate Beauty! This home features traditional elegance along with modern features like ceiling fans, wi-fi and beautiful swimming pool and hot tub. We are conveniently located just one-half mile from the world famous French Quarter and in the opposite direction, just one mile from City Park which boasts 1300 acres of natural beauty along with the New Orleans Museum of Art and the Walda & Sydney Besthoff Sculpture Garden. We are serviced by the Jackson-Esplanade Bus # 91 which provides connections to all of the city's other bus and streetcar routes. Single use fare is a buck and a quarter while a 24-hour transit pass costs only three dollars for a 24-hour pass. The home has plenty of common space to enjoy and each room is outfitted with one queen bed to accommodate a maximum of two guests. Each of our two Queen Suites features a private en-suite bath and private balcony, while our three Queen Rooms have either private or semi-private access to our two hall baths, each with an antique claw-foot tub.

This is a family-run bed & breakfast which also serves as our family home. Principal innkeeper Glen Miller resides at the property and is generally available to answer questions and provide guidance for your visit to New Orleans. He is sometimes assisted by his business partner Randall Saizan, son Esnayder and daughter Randi Amelia and their mother, Maria.

This beautiful home sits on historic Esplanade Avenue, the very first boulevard that was constructed in the city as the population moved out of the confines of the original French Quarter. Esplanade Ridge was the forerunner to the Garden District.
