About this property

Historic, Upscale Cottage Professionally Designed For Comfort

Hermanor Cottage was built in the 1830's and is a fine example of New Orleans Creole architecture. A beautiful, spacious front porch added in the early 1900's is both a welcoming feature and a wonderful place to sit with a cool drink and watch the quaint neighborhood go by. The location of Hermanor Cottage is both convenient and a bit off the beaten path. We are a few short blocks from the superb music, food and fun on FRENCHMEN STREET and only slightly further from the world-renowned FRENCH QUARTER. If you choose to arrive by car there is adequate parking on the street. The streetcar is close by and UBER arrives very quickly.
Our cottage apartment is professionally decorated in the traditional New Orleans style with original art and vintage pieces. The living room is charming and comfortable with a full size click clack sofa bed and a 40' HD TV. The front room is furnished with a vintage oak table that can serve as a desk or a dining spot. The fully furnished ,spacious kitchen has been recently renovated and has all new SS appliances. A round table seats 2 and a decorative fireplace add lots of quaint charm. Pick up some groceries at the nearby full grocery store and easily prepare a dinner at home. A beautiful new food hall is just a few blocks away for eat in or take out ethnic food choices.
Our unique Marigny (pronounced Mare-i-nee) neighborhood has much to offer. Some of our favorite places are MIMI'S IN THE MARIGNY for great craft drinks and tapas, THE FRANKLIN for fine bistro fare, the newly renovated HOTEL PETER AND PAUL for romantic drinks and dining and RUBY SLIPPER for fabulous breakfasts. And did I mention the James Beard award winning restaurant THE AMERICAN BISTRO.All are just a block or two from the cottage. Several venues for live music are close by on the newly developed ST. CLAUDE corridor and include ALLWAYS LOUNGE, CAFE ISTANBUL, and SIBERIA.
My husband is a concierge and tour reservationist. We live right next door and are always available for fun, creative activity suggestions, restaurant recommendations and general hospitality. We guarantee a good time will be had by all at Hermanor Cottage! New Orleans Short Term Rental Permit #20-RSTR-32600, #21-OSTR-21677 ( 2023 )

amazing place in Marigny

My daughter and visited in January looking for a getaway from upstate NY winter. The weather was unusually cold, but our host Sara made up for it with her warmth and hospitality. The place is fabulous. Beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable, with unique NOLA charm, and lots of amenities. The neighborhood is ideally located for walking, with the French Quarter a five minute walk in one direction and the "real people" Bywater neighborhood a five minute walk in the other. The location is quiet and safe, but also has plenty of life, with restaurants, cafes, bakeries, and shops right nearby. Parking onstreet was plentiful and easy. Sara's responses were prompt and very helpful. She even found and happily returned some AirPods I had left behind. Will absolutely stay here again the next time we visit. Thanks Sara!

Beautiful house in great neighborhood

We stayed 3 nights in this home and loved it. The owners were very communicative and kind and even allowed us to stay longer than checkout time when they had no new guests arriving. The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. The location was perfect for us as we wanted to be in a safe neighborhood, outside of the Quarter, but close enough to venture out. We would definitely stay here again.

Sarah and Tom’s cottage is even better than pictured!, Wonderfully comfortable and very quiet while being within easy walking distance of the French Market and the French Quarter. They were the perfect hosts. They responded quickly to questions, helped with arranging tours and made us feel at home. We would highly recommend staying at the Upscale Cottage and hope we can return someday!!

This is the cutest place in a nice neighborhood within walking distance to many of the things we wanted to see--the host was amazing and very thoughtful and helpful. This was my first foray into Vrbo, and I would stay here again in a heartbeat, and I'd highly recommend it for anyone else.

Lovely Cottage

My husband and I went to New Orleans to attend a wedding and stayed at this lovely cottage. Our host, Sara, was so welcoming and helpful. The cottage is a perfect place to stay, beautifully decorated, cozy, and super clean. The location is in a quiet, charming neighborhood and is an easy walking distance to the French Quarter and several great restaurants. I highly recommend staying here.

What one would imagine a rental would be in NOLA

This is a truly great place and neighborhood to stay in. And the owners show a lot of pride and attentiveness. We did not have lack or need for any amenity that was not provided. Too bad the weather was a bit chilly, otherwise the fantastic backyard would have been a great place to enjoy while having a glass of wine.

Lions/Saints Weekend

Wow! This property is amazing! It is exactly what my husband and I were looking for when we booked. The check-in process was easy. The cottage was clean, spacious, and cozy. Sara even had a Christmas tree set up in the front room! The neighborhood is walkable, safe, and has plenty of bars and restaurants. There is a supermarket nearby where we purchased some items to cook at the cottage since there is a full kitchen within the unit. Additionally, the backyard patio space is awesome! I sat outside each morning and enjoyed the plants, water feature, and some coffee/pre-game beverages. If we ever return to New Orleans, I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful property, charming neighborhood

Sara and Tom have furnished and decorated a lovely traditional New Orleans "shotgun" flat. Beautifully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay; close enough to the French Quarter and WWII museum to be convenient (a $7 uber ride in most cases) but a quiet neighborhood so none of the craziness. Our hosts and neighbors were very friendly and we found welcoming neighborhood eateries in walking distance, although we could have cooked for ourselves in the fully equipped kitchen. Just terrific.

Sara has this adorable shotgun set up so perfectly. Everything you need at your fingertips! Beautiful courtyard and fantastic location that is totally walkable to the French Quarter, Jackson Square, and all of the historical locations! If I could give a 20 star rating I would!

Quiet neighborhood away from all the craziness

Can't say enough about our stay! Our "house"--a Creole shotgun house-- was beautiful!!! Very nicely decorated with lovely art. Nice courtyard in back although we really didn't use it because we were never there! Easy walk to the French Quarter and Mississippi River. Frenchman Street nearby. Super quiet neighborhood with narrow one way streets; trees, potted plants and Halloween decorations. Little cafes and restaurants nearby. Sara and her husband were very helpful and great hosts. We enjoyed our stay immensely!

This was the best VRBO

The location of this property couldn't be better and the people of this neighbor hood are very friendly. The cottage was perfect, clean, uncluttered and comfortable. Enjoyed having coffee on the front porch in the morning and wine in the courtyard in the evening. The host are wonderful and very knowledgeable about New Orleans. If we go back to New Orleans we will definitely stay here again. Don't forget to visit the Bakery on the corner of Dauphine and Frenchman, the French pastry is amazing!

We loved our stay! The property is even more lovely than the posting and my wife took lots of interior pictures to take home and copy their style. Sara was very quick to respond to any questions we had but also respected our privacy. There’s a great coffee shop and grocery store close by and the location is great for enjoying the music spots on Frenchman St. We did lots of walking! We will definitely be back - enjoy!

About the host

Hosted by Sara Hauge

Host profile image
My husband and I have been visiting New Orleans for over 20 years. In 2013 we were finally able to fulfill our dream of moving here permanently from Minneapolis. We love the weather and the diversity of the colorful culture. We purchased a double shotgun cottage so we can share our love of this city with family ,friends and you!

Why they chose this property

We finally chose to live in the Faubourg Marigny neighborhood because it is so interesting and eclectic and yet close to the French Quarter and the Frenchmen St. excitement.

What makes this property unique

Our cottage is unique because it has so many years of history that have not been erased by modern renovations. It is comfortable to modern standards yet maintains it's historic beauty and authenticity.
