About this property

Bywater New Orleans oasis with 4 suites and cocktail pool

Located in the funky Bywater neighborhood (2 miles from the French Quarter), this OWNER OCCUPIED inn is just far enough off the beaten track to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of New Orleans without the commotion of Bourbon Street. To elaborate, my husband and I live in the front part of the house which is completely separate from the individual, private suites. We are around if our guests need anything but we also completely stay out of the way, respecting privacy, allowing you to enjoy our property.

The Lookout Inn includes FOUR individually themed, large suites, each with their own generous private bathrooms: Mardi Gras, Bollywood, Elvis and Mission. The price you see listed is for all 4 suites. Each suite is complete with a queen sized bed; 3 of the 4 suites also include sleeper sofas. (The Mardi Gras Suite does NOT have a sleeper sofa.) Suites are also complete with complimentary wifi, Directv, coffee makers and mini refrigerators.

There is NO kitchen OR indoor common area space, such as a living room or great room. The 4 suites are private and are arranged so they can each be rented independently. In ground pool, hot tub, BBQ and seating cabana are located in the lush outdoor, common area space. Street parking is available right outside the inn. It is free and there are no parking restrictions. Off-street parking is unavailable.
**Hot tub closed mid-May through mid-September

We are dog friendly, with a $40 per dog fee. Dogs must be housebroken, on regular flea prevention and non-aggressive. French Bulldogs stay for free. :)

This eclectic inn is the perfect accommodation for a couples getaway, family vacation/reunion, ladies weekends and for a convenient staycation. Responsible bachelor and bachelorette groups are welcome. Please contact us with information on your group and we will also provide you with the house rules and conditions.

Enjoy a laid back atmosphere filled with character and charm in this historic New Orleans neighborhood. Our location is approximately 2 miles from the edge of the French Quarter and about 2.5 miles to the heart of Bourbon Street, and is the perfect distance to a ride a bike into town or take the No. 88 bus which picks up three blocks away.

At The Lookout Inn, we know your vacation time is precious and we want to make it as convenient and enjoyable as possible. Let us take the planning leg work off your plate. We are happy to make restaurant reservations for your group, as well as tour reservations. We highly recommend Cajun Encounters and Gray Line Tours for a variety of city and swamp tours. Let us make your reservation. We are also happy to stock the cabana for you ahead of your visit. Order your groceries and booze from one of the many services available nowadays and we'll receive your order and set it all up! Do you love Amazon Prime as much as we do? Send us your decorations or any other celebratory items, gift bags, etc ahead of time and we can store them until you arrive. Being an owner occupied inn, we go above and beyond.

**After making a reservation with us, you will receive a payment request for the 4.45% Louisiana state sales tax that is not included in VRBO's taxes, yet we are required to pay. We appreciate your understanding.

Oasis Weekend
This is the perfect spot for a NOLA trip! I stayed here with a group of friends for a bachelorette weekend, and we had the best time! It’s conveniently located, decorated creatively, and accommodated every need we had. I would absolutely stay here again!

Cozy place away from the hustle and bustle of bourbon street
My friends and I stayed for a girls trip and we all had the most incredible time. Kelly was super communicative and friendly and willing to work with us and answer all our questions! At first glance the area doesn’t seem to be the greatest but my group and I had no issues walking around town to grab a bite to eat. Its about a 10 minute drive to bourbon street, so you wont get all the tourist noise either. There is however a train that will occasionally pass by and can get rather loud. But it so rarely happened it didnt bother any of us. The rooms were all super cute and cozy. We were all so excited to check out each other’s rooms because of the different themes. And the pool was fantastic to have after a long day of exploring. I cannot thank Kelly enough for her hospitality and would recommend to anyone and everyone to stay at her place. I’ll most definitely be coming back to New Orleans, and will definitely be staying here again if possible!

About the host

Hosted by Kelly

Host profile image
My name is Kelly Rayner and I'll be your innkeeper! The Lookout Inn is my home and your home away from home during your vacation. My heart and soul are poured into this beautiful guest house and I am dedicated to making every guests experience comfortable, enjoyable and memorable. Outside of my time at the inn, you can catch me and my husband at new local restaurants, snowball stands in the summer and walking the neighborhood with our little Florence Marie and our beloved French Bulldog, Percival Winston.

Why they chose this property

I love the 4 themes of the suites: Mardi Gras, Bollywood, Elvis and Mission. I’ve always wanted to listen to Hound Dog on a Fat Tuesday in Bollywood before I burn down the Mission.

What makes this property unique

This is an owner occupied property. My husband and I live in the front half of the inn and are available should you need anything at all. We are also completely legal and licensed to operate this inn.
We are happy to arrange tours, make reservations and more. Just ask!
