Authentic New Orleans

The old Creole cottage was a perfect location near the French Quarter with a true feel for old New Orleans. Betsy is the perfect thoughtful host. She made a King’s Cake for us to celebrate the Mardi Gras season and share tradition.

Can’t praise Betsy enough!

My friends stayed with Betsy while attending my daughter’s wedding….they loved everything about Chez Palmiers, especially the host, Betsy, who they absolutely raved about her every time we met up. I had the pleasure of sitting with my girlfriends by the pool, drinking and eating beignets and Thai food. What a lovely respite in the Big Easy! Thank you Betsy!!

Space to spread out and amenities!

We stayed with Betsy for three nights with our family of five and it was perfect. Easy street parking and walking distance to French quarter, very cute neighborhood. Betsy spoiled us with her freshly baked pastries every morning was something different. My husband raved about her coffee. The fridge with snacks and drinks for us was hugely helpful for travel with kids always hungry. The pool was perfect for afternoon cool off. Mabel was a sweet friend to have nearby. The beds are EXTREMELY comfy, some of the best I’ve experienced via VRBO. Having all this, three bedrooms and three bathrooms to spread out madeOur stay extremely comfortable and an excellent value. Highly recommend!!

Charming property and host!

Our family group of 3 couples stayed and loved the B&B. The 3 guest rooms are themed and very nice. The old house is very cool and there is a nice backyard with pool. Breakfast was good every morning. Betsy is a sweetheart and it was like staying with a friend!!! We will be back!!

Friends trip

We had a great time in Nola! Loved Betsy’s house. She was very nice and we loved her dogs. They were very friendly. Bourbon street was a little further away but Frenchmen street was pretty close. We had never been to that area and really enjoyed it there. We would stay here again.

Great B&B experience

This was a perfect place to stay for a weekend exploring New Orleans. Walkable to many attractions, easily accessible by road, and a little outside the most crowded areas (but not too far). Betsy was a wonderful host. We rented all three rooms for three small families, and the porch area was a great hang-out space. Thanks so much!

First time in New Orleans!

We had a lovely four night stay on New Orleans! So close to activities and within walking distance. Betsy was so very kind, welcoming, and accommodating. We had a wonderful breakfast poolside each morning. Couldn't have had a happier stay. Thank you, Betsy!

Lovely Stay!

We got away for a long overdue Girls Weekend and had the pleasure of staying in the From Russia with Love suite. So charming, better than the pictures and so spacious! We enjoyed our daily catch ups with Betsy and friendly greetings from Marge and Peggy every morning. The location was in easy walking distance from all the sites, yet far enough away to enjoy some peaceful down time. Wonderful, wonderful time!

Awesome!

We had never been to New Orleans before. We chose this B&B and we were truly impressed. Betsy, our host, made it feel like our home away from home. She was awesome! We were a group of 7 and we met down by the private pool every morning and Betsy had a nice breakfast waiting for us. We would definitely recommend!!!

The perfect poolside stay for a group!

My friends and I were a group of 9 and had a great stay here. We loved the location, and the pool was the perfect way to cool down in the heat and lounge between our explorations of the city. We booked the whole house, and as the listing described this meant privacy everywhere except the kitchen/dining room area. Betsy was incredibly responsive and helpful leading up to our stay and during. We had some dietary restrictions and she was so accommodating and am amazing baker - the continental breakfast was a highlight. We enjoyed the casual atmosphere of the bnb. The dogs are indeed present so just a flag if anyone in your party has allergies. The bnb website (chezpalmiers.com) gives a good sense of the themed rooms. This was really the perfect place for our stay - thank you for everything Betsy!

Fabulous stay in New Orleans

Betsy and Bill were perfect hosts, really enjoyed the pups too! The property was clean, the towels were extra fluffy and morning breakfast was awesome! Loved the fresh baked goods each morning, Betsy really spoiled us. The first floor suite was really great for my friend who recently had a back injury, it made it so much easier for her to get around. My husband and I had the second floor suite which was very comfortable, the bed was just the right firmness for me. A few days were warm enough to lounge by the pool, Betsy was kind enough to turn on the heater even though we would have gotten in anyway. We had the most fabulous time visiting the sights and it was all within walking distance with exception of the riverfront, but that was just a short cab ride away. Our little group can’t wait to return again!

Walking Distance to French Quarter

Fantastic Experience, As advertised Fantastic 3 bedroom with pool, 3 blocks from Port of Call, close to French Market, Bourbon and Royal, all you could ask for as a Host, both children ages 17 and 9 asked to stay longer, and forgo any future Hotels on Bourbon, in light of House and Host Betsy, as well as her dogs, my son the 9 year old wants to return to Betsy every year…….fantastic experience, Could not have enjoyed our 3 night stay any more , Pool and house clean and enjoyable……will book again in future with Betsy……. Thanks Betsy for everything …….See you soon

Great experience

We rented out all three rooms in the B&B. Our group consisted of 7 adults, family and friends. The atmosphere was very comfortable and friendly. The decor was fun to look at. We enjoyed having a pool at our disposal. Betsy was more than accommodating. She always made sure we had what we needed. There was coffee, fresh fruit and other breakfast items every morning. The location is about a 20 minute stroll to the Quarter. We did Uber a couple of times because we were dressed for fine dining. We enjoyed having Mabel and Marge, Betsy’s two basset hounds for company on occasion. She’s very clear though if you are not a dog person, she will keep them from roaming. Would definitely rent again.
