Claiborne Historic Mansion Historic Getaways

Just 6 blocks from the French Quarter, this Victorian mansion is the perfect place for groups looking to stay right near the action. Rest up in this newly-restored home before you hit the town again. Featuring original hardwood floors, memory foam mattresses, antique furniture and a full set of amenities (smart tv, full kitchen, washer dryer), this beauty has everything you need to spend a luxurious weekend in New Orleans!

Entrance is through the front. Street/driveway parking available. A second, separate unit is attached to the back of the house.

A lot of action in this neighborhood. Second lines and gatherings often spring up out of nowhere and will enhance your experience of New Orleans traditions. At times it can be noisy.

This is a bustling street that hosts a large walking celebration most Sundays. It's filled with street vendors, food, drinks and was started years ago to celebrate New Orleans Saint's WINS! We encourage you to join in on the fun! There is the potential for loud noise during :)

Ubers and Lyfts are highly recommended.

Amazing House

I recently stayed at a fantastic VRBO in New Orleans with family & friends, and it was an unforgettable experience! The property was beautifully maintained, perfectly located near vibrant hotspots, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Beautiful and clean

This house was gorgeous and very clean! The property manager responded quickly and clearly to any of our questions. We were able to park two cars in the gated driveway. We used Lyft and Uber to get around. We had a blast! Can’t wait to go back!

Gorgeous Home

The house was beautiful and worked great for our group of 9. The only downside was the neighborhood. It was right next to the freeway and was in a very bad area of town. Very noisy at night making it hard to sleep well. Other than that we had a visit

Mardi Gras 50th birthday

We stayed 3/2-3/5 for my hubs 50th birthday. The house was fantastic. So much space and personality. The only issue was the outside noise. We didn’t go to NOLA to sleep so it wasn’t much of an issue. We walked to the festivities with no issues. The house was great! We’d definitely stay here again!

The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and the house was clean. The staff was very helpful and assisted us quickly in regards to parking. The neighborhood was loud in the evening- both traffic and people. We will use this service if we return to visit.

Ten family members stayed for a long weekend to attend our daughter's wedding. The house was clean, the kitchen equipped, and the neighborhood convenient. It's an architecturally interesting old house. We enjoyed being able to walk to many activities and restaurants. We would definitely stay there again.

What a great time we had!

The Claiborne house was super cool for us to rest our heads after long days & nights in NOLA. It is old so you need to get comfy with the traffic noise outside, but that was just a small point for us. We had 6 gents that could get comfortable, spread out, most having their own room. The beds we comfortable and everything was as advertised. The property owners were very communicative and clear, which made everything easy.

Beautiful historic home

This is a gorgeous home. It is situated in the historic Treme neighborhood. Be aware that there is a lot of activity on Sundays around the location. It is bussling and noisy, but usually calms down by 11:00 pm. The upstairs can get warm, but is comfortable enough. You do have a great parking space by the house with a gate.

laissez les bon temps rouler

We thoroughly enjoyed our Mardi Gras vacation at this rental property! Nestled in a vibrant, urban neighborhood, conveniently located close to the expressway, this beautiful and spacious property met all of the quintessential needs. Plenty of bathrooms and space to stretch out for all 8 of our guests. We were even greeted with a charcuterie and a king cake upon arrival. We thoroughly enjoyed the privacy of the front porch which was enclosed by a magical wall of bamboo. This is the perfect place for a large group who wants an authentic New Orleans experience.

Cool spot

Older historic property with plenty of room, and it is close to the quarter. We had no problem walking over or taking rideshares to where we wanted to go. Something to note - Bring a white noise machine. The highway does get pretty noisy, and it seemed like people liked to use the main road outside to race in the evening. We brought a white noise machine with us and that helped drown out the noise immensely.

Decided not to stay due to location

We ended up leaving immediately and staying at a nearby hotel due to the location shown in the map on VRBO being different from the actual location. On the map it shows up as 3 blocks south of I10, in reality its backed up against I10 at overpass. We stayed elsewhere due to concerns for safety of our car and selves. I understand this is not the fault of the owner but instead due to the way VRBO shows the location on their map. However, this makes a huge difference and led to us not staying. The listing does state that it is near overpass.

Amazing time

We had a great experience staying here. Lauren and Nichole were amazing. They were super helpful from the day we booked to the day we checked out. They let me mail shirts to their office so that I didn’t have to fly down with them and they even went the extra mile neatly hanging them up in preparation for my friends and I before we arrived. We asked about early check in and they worked with me to make sure we had a place to put our bags and when we were short a bed they helped us out with an additional room. The house was also located in a great location and it was a manageable walk each night from the house to the heart of the French quarter and a quick cab ride to restaurants and parades. I feel like we couldn’t have asked for more from the house and 1000% couldn’t have asked for more from our hosts. We would definitely stay here again. 10 out of 10! -Kevin

Excellent Stay in NoLa!

Property was as listed, beautiful architecture, well appointed. Everything we needed. About a 15/20 min stroll to the French Quarter down Esplanade and all it has to offer, easy and quick to get an Uber if you don't feel like walking. On and Off I-10 is easy access, grocery store only a couple blocks away and little convenience store steps away. One note ... this is NEW ORLEANS! Not a Disney version or Jimmy Buffett Margaritaville version. It's the real deal with all that comes with it (and the better for it). The smells, sounds and sights are what makes NO so interesting. Will def stay here again the next time we get back. Cheers!

Bachelor Party

It was our first time in NOLA and I couldn’t imagine a a more suitable place to stay. The house has all your basic needs including A/C! It’s a 20 min walk to bourbon but we just called a cheap Uber there and back. We had no issues with the neighborhood.

Satisfied with our stay

Overall, we had a good stay at this house. The house is a beautiful old house that has been newly renovated. It has lots of comfortable beds and plenty of space. For the negatives: -This house wasn’t advertised as a duplex but there is another rental that is connected to this property (there is a door off the kitchen that is closed off). The people in the other rental were so loud and since it’s an old house noise travels easily- most of us didn’t sleep well Saturday night because of this. -Although this house had a security system, it didn’t feel like it was in the safest part of town. We ubered everywhere and were careful so it all ended up fine, but just be aware of that. -The downstairs bathroom’s shower goes from very hot to very cold and doesn’t have an in between temperature. This took some getting used to but everyone managed just fine. Overall, the check in and check out process was easy and the location was a short uber ride to everywhere we wanted to go, so we enjoyed our stay.

Not a good neighborhood

Understanding that the house is over 100 years old, I can live with floors squeaking and being uneven. The owner put effort in updating the bathrooms and kitchen but did nothing about the other rooms. Electricity went on and off for several hours at a time for no apparent reason. I did not spend thousands of dollars to get a home like this. Most of all, location, location, location...this is NOT. I can accept the fact that it's next to the highway but I cannot accept the fact that it's in a bad neighborhood. Even though the manager told us that it's because it's mardi gras, there was drag racing every night. The area is not not safe to walk out at night. and there were cops around all the time. I've lived in NYC and worked in dangerous areas so I know what a hood looks like. I would not walk to the areas they mentioned that are close by. It took me a long time to stop getting mad about the quality and location of the home, especially because I paid thousands of dollars to stay there. Truly disappointed in the home and location.

Weekend in NOLA

This home was the perfect size for our group of ten. Loved the southern charm of this older home ❤️ We all had our own bedrooms with tons of space except for one bedroom was on the smaller side. The bathrooms and Kitchen were nicely updated! The only issue we had was one bedroom light kept coming on if we had the ceiling fan on (really annoying when you are sound asleep). There was also quite a bit of highway noise if you were sleeping in the front two bedrooms. Not too far of a walk to the French Quarter during the day and a short Uber ride home at night.
