Vacation rentals with lake access in French Quarter - CBD

We traveled to New Orleans to celebrate our son's graduation and Rachels place on the bayou was perfect! Everything was exactly as pictured. We enjoyed the gorgeous ride in with all the spanish moss covered trees and even saw a few gators. Rachel was very responsive to messages and quickly added a night for us (we just weren't ready to leave). 10/10 recommend.

Thanks for letting us stay at your place. We had a great time!

100 recommend this host and property. The pictures do not do justice to the beautiful scenery, peaceful and private location, and historic charm of this place. Stephen and his family are extremely hospitable, very welcoming, friendly and accommodating. We hope to come back again very soon!

The Purple Purch is extremely comfy with everything you need. The lake views are priceless and go on forever. We slept so good! Shannon & Aamie could not have been better hosts. So kind, thoughtful and flexible. Very attentive & responsive when we had a question. If you are looking for peace & serenity on the water away from hustle of downtown N’Orleans then this is your place. Morning coffee outside on screened deck overlooking the lake was everyone’s favorite. The huge sectional allowed all 6 of us space to chill out for a movie night! Absolutely recommend staying at this soul calming place on Lake Catherine! Just what we needed…..😍👏🙌

We loved our stay, the kids caught tons of fish off the dock and Keary was really helpful and friendly - just flat-out good people. Highly recommended!

We really enjoyed our stay at Bayou Life. The outdoor space was picturesque, relaxing and spacious. Inside the kitchen was well equipped, the bed was comfortable and we had everything we needed. Any time we had a question, Morgan replied quickly. He gave several great local recommendations. We would definitely stay here again

David and Cassondra were very gracious and set the house up for a good time. My sons fished every morning and every evening. We caught crabs in the traps daily. Plenty of tackle and bait shops nearby. It was a 25 minute drive into downtown New Orleans. So the best of both worlds. The house was stocked with spices and condiments. Really enjoyed our stay and recommend it with 5 stars ⭐️

This is the 2nd time we’ve rented this house and the only complaint I have is how hard it is to leave. Walking back into our own home after the most peaceful, perfect 3-day weekend felt like a letdown—because Sarah’s place is just that special. The house is beautifully maintained, surrounded by wildlife and nature, yet close enough to everything that you can get groceries delivered if needed. It’s the perfect balance of escape and convenience. We’re already looking forward to our next stay!

I would call us bougee travelers on a budget lol. Things we are adamant about that exceeded our exceptions: Cleanliness Safety Privacy View Comfort Location and price. This place exceeded our expectations by far. We had the best sleep in the super clean comfy beds. The views were to die for. The place was pristine and squeaky clean. Hopefully I can post a few pics as the pictures in the site do not fully reflect the awesomeness of this place. Thank you Cherish!! We have one more kid graduating from Tulane next summer and we will be back this time for at least a week!!!

This was a lovely place that absolutely fit our needs for this trip. It was well maintained and easy to find. The guest book was a great idea. It gave us ideas of local restaurants and places to visit in the area that other guests had enjoyed. We would stay here again.

I spent a week with my kids, and family, a total of 5 people and we felt comfortable. the host was very nice and gave us the basics so we did not have to work about finding supplies when we arrived late at night. the area is not close to much but we loved it because it was a calm and quite area. I would definitely visit again.

The apartment was very easy to find. There was ample parking. The host is very responsive to any questions I had.

We had a very pleasant stay on the bayou. The accommodations were very spacious and comfortable. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. I would stay here again.

So glad I found Rebecca's place. It gave me a comfortable, peaceful spot to get work done and unwind. I will definitely look to book her place again next time I'm in town to see family!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay! The location is fantastic — there’s so much to do within just a 10-minute walk. The host was incredibly responsive and kind, and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. We truly enjoyed our time there!

This was a beautiful place to stay !! Very private and peaceful, we definitely enjoyed this spot !! And Brittney was an amazing host and she responds very quickly with any questions or concerns !! Definitely recommend !!

Absolutely stunning outdoor pool area landscaping; peaceful and private. Loved the hot tub! A big bonus for our fam was the secret back yard door leading to the Abita Roasting Co restaurant. The main floor of the house is fairly accessible, just a few small stairs, for older guests that was nice. Loved the interior vault and beams in the main room. Property manager was very responsive and kind.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful Airbnb that truly exceeded my expectations. The property is located on the bayou with a beautiful walking trail, which was an absolute delight during my recovery from surgery. The cleanliness of the space was remarkable, making it a safe and comfortable environment for my needs. I was especially grateful for the recliner in the sun room, which allowed me to relax without discomfort. The hand-held showerhead was also a fantastic addition, making my post-surgery routine much easier. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better place to recover. I highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a peaceful and convenient stay. Thank you to the hosts for providing such a perfect environment for healing!

Excellent location. Not far from the city but still peaceful, with the waterway canal right out front. A major swamp tour with hotel pickup was a block down but honestly it didn't seem to impact the serenity of the location. House was clean and had everything we needed for the stay.

We loved our stay at Mike and Carol’s from the moment we arrived—Our kids shouted everything that was cool about the house. From the peaceful porch swing and sitting area, to the ARCADE console in the kids’ room, to the MASSAGE CHAIR in the primary room, we hardly wanted to leave. We booked the home for its proximity to the beach front and Old Mandeville (where my uncle lives), and it did not disappoint on location. This was the perfect place to stay as a family, and we hope it is available every year we visit. Mike and Carol were great hosts and made it truly feel like home away from home.

We had a great stay at Jayson's home. The house is very well stocked with everything you need. The layout of the house is very functional, and the deck was a great place to relax and socialize. It was so close to our planned activities. We were there for riding bikes on St. Tammany Trace and a jazz concert at the Dew Drop Jazz & Social Hall. Jayson's house is very close to the trail and is a 5–10-minute bike ride to Dew Drop.

Blume cottage is in excellent location. Old historic Mandeville is great. Accommodations were awesome. Wonderful weekend
