Welcome to MAISON ROUGAROUX, your own special retreat in the heart of New Orleans. We invite you to bask in the magic of the Crescent City where you will be surrounded by that quintessential New Orleans architecture and charm. Where favorite bars and restaurants are woven into the fabric of the street scenes all around our house.

Come have an exceptional New Orleans experience in our one-of-a-kind designed house that embodies the historic and the modern, so you and yours get the real NOLA flavor. Here you have more modern amenities than you would get at most hotels. This camelback style house is an ode to the historic architecture of the city, and takes every opportunity to charm you, from the plantation shutters in the master bath, to your very own flickering gas lamps hanging in front porch poised to welcome you back after an evening of revelry.

Whether you want to STAY FOR THE WEEKEND or an entire season, you’ll find no shortage of amenities in this home. Each bedroom is oversized and much larger than you will typically find with other homes or hotels in the city and two of the rooms have full size walk-in closets. Our fully equipped kitchen allows for a magnificent evening of feasting at home, where you can dine inside or out on the back gallery (porch) sipping a cocktail of your choice while being enveloped in that sweet southern air. Then go enjoy a full soak in the freestanding tub, cuddle up on the couch and take in your favorite show, or explore the New Orleans nightlife. If you want a jaunt on famous Bourbon Street, have an intimate dinner, seek out one of many master mixologists throughout the city, listen to some legendary jazz, or go find a Second Line to be part of the festivities, its only minutes away.

Our home is located in the heart of the Bywater and only a 6-8 minute ride along Chartres St to the French Quarter’s French Market or to Frenchman St. in the Marigny. There is also a world of great stuff right outside our front door here in the Bywater where you can walk to favorite local spots like Bacchanal, The Country Club or Bywater Bakery to name just a few.

If there is something you find not currently available we’d love to hear your private feedback on how we can keep growing better! And we always love when you share your 5-Star reviews and help other travelers get to know us.
