About this property

Camelback Guest House

Enjoy the charm of New Orleans living in an historic Victorian Camelback, built in 1861.

Close to everything; walk 3 blocks to world famous Commander's Palace, stroll down oak and mansion lined St. Charles Ave, go antiquing on Magazine St, ride the St. Charles Streetcar down to the French Quarter or up to the Universities and Audubon Park, visit the WWII Museum, and dine at any of the myriad of restaurants that make New Orleans a foodie paradise.

This lovingly restored apartment is 3 floors and sleeps up to 4 guests. There is a private entrance with a courtyard and a second floor balcony. The kitchen has all the wares you need to cook a meal, if you ever get tired of dining out. There is one full bath on the second floor and a half bath on the ground floor. There are two bedrooms, one on the second floor and one on the third, and two sitting rooms. There is a comfortable full size sofa bed in the second floor sitting room. High quality linens and towels are provided. There is a washer and dryer on the premises. Street parking is usually easy to find. Off-street parking for one vehicle is available across the street.

THINGS TO KNOW:
Maximum occupancy is 4 guests (children included). Occupancy is strictly regulated by the City of New Orleans. Our nightly rate reflects a discount for 1 - 2 guests.

Check-in is any time after 4 pm and check-out is at 11 am. We live in another unit in the building and can be available to answer questions and give recommendations if you so desire. We are also happy to be invisible and respect your privacy.

Some Special Events and stays of 30 days or longer may require a larger refundable Security Deposit and/or additional cleaning fees, to be determined at time of booking.

Cancellation Policy:
Please be aware that there is a ‘No Cancellation’ policy in effect for Extended Stays (30+ days). All sales and deposits are final for Extended Stays. We strongly encourage guests to purchase Trip Cancellation or the more comprehensive Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) insurance from a reputable provider. As Owners of one vacation rental apartment, we cannot write off lost income from cancellations, as do large property managers or major hotel chains. If you are concerned about the possibility of a last-minute cancellation or early departure for any reason, please insure your trip. We do not issue refunds outside our cancellation policy.

Just a note for those with mobility issues: The apt is 3 stories high so there are a lot of stairs. There are 5 stairs at the entrance to the apartment. We have 12 ft ceilings so the flight of stairs to get to the 2nd floor, where the full bath is located, is longer than what is normal in most homes. Lastly, there is a flight of stairs to get to the 3rd floor bedroom. The bathrooms were added to the home well after it was built so they are small, as one would expect in a very old house. It could be uncomfortable for some guests to maneuver. Unfortunately our home is not suitable for people with limited mobility.

A signed Rental Agreement is required within 24 hours of booking.

A Photo ID is required and must match the name of the Payee.

Parties are not permitted.

Beautiful Place, Perfect Location
The location is wonderful if you want access to experience all New Orleans has to offer without staying in the craziness of the French Quarter. One minute from the trolley line, which will take you all over for peanuts, and just a short walk from tons of bars and restaurants on Magazine. The surrounding area is full of gorgeous homes to wander past as well. Corinna was wonderful: greeting us, checking us in, and offering suggestions. The place is gorgeous. Huge high ceilings, nice amount of space, comfortable beds, and nicely decorated. As long as you're okay with a few stairs (3 stories and very high ceilings) this was a perfect place to sip coffee in the morning and return to in the evening. Highly recommend.

Kind and Accommodating
We had a great experience our hosts were kind and helpful. My partner worked from the house one day and had an excellent WiFi signal. Location made it easy to get to the touristy areas as well as off the beaten path to lesser visited areas. 5 Starts!

Accomodating owner
This property was a very comfortable and safe place to stay in the Garden District. We were in town for a medical conference as well as a little fun. The house was 2 short blocks from the St. Charles Trolley which will take you right to the French Quarter for a reasonable price. It is a pleasant and safe way to get around if you do not rent a car. The owner was very accommodating and helpful. She let us store our luggage when we got into NOLA prior to our check in time as we wanted to start exploring the city without dragging our luggage around. She immediately refunded our deposit after our visit and was kind enough to send an itemized receipt so that me and my 2 travel partners could be reimbursed by our companies. Thanks for a great stay!

Wonderfully restored in great location near St Charles line
Yet again, another memorable New Orleans stay. We found the home to be very comfortable and nicely remodeled, while the character of this 150+ year old home is preserved. The home is very centrally located. It is one block off of the St Charles line, which is a great east/west transportation choice for the visitor, and fare is $1.25/$3 for an all day pass. It is a very scenic line that runs all the way from the outskirts of Loyola (to the west) to Canal Street , which starts the French Quarter. A 6 block walk towards the river puts you in the more vibrant area of Magazine Street. Great shopping, dining, and scenic Garden District walks. The area also contains the most historic cemetaries, which is a quintessential tourist activity. The home is stocked with everything you need. A very nice supply of linens and supplies. The kitchen is well stocked, although we find the massive number of eateries in New Orleans too good to pass up. A point of note: The layers of floors and stairwells add to the charm of these old properties. Since the main bedroom is accessed by the main stairwell, it will prove challenging for people who have difficulty walking or climbing stairs.

Hi Traveler! I'm Corinna Chaney and I thank you for looking at Camelback Guest House. My husband Michele and I live in one of our 4 units and take delight in sharing gems of the neighborhood and the city with our guests. It has been such a pleasure to meet so many lovely people!

What makes this property unique

Our home is an historic shotgun camelback double built in 1861. Somewhere down the line it was converted into a 4-plex but it still retains many of the architectural flourishes that make New Orleans homes so charming. We love this old house and have been slowly restoring it to its original beauty. The neighborhood is perfect for us; we're a block from the Garden District streetcar stop, walking distance to so much, and our neighbors are wonderful. We enjoy this property immensely and love to share it with our guests.
