4 of us spent the long weekend in New Orleans for a birthday celebration. This cottage is truly stunning. It was so beautiful that we did not want to leave the property. The finishes and the courtyard are out of this world. This is the only place we will stay in New Orleans.

Loved this place and neighborhood! This was a beautiful rental; impeccably furnished and an oasis away from the craziness of NOLA. Very cool neighborhood that was fun to explore and gave an authentic New Orleans vibe. The owner gave detailed instructions so everything was as expected. We've stayed in lots of places in this city and rate this as our absolute favorite - we'll be back!

The conveniences of this property were first class! Our party of six enjoyed lounging in the tv-less living area and preparing meals in the fantastic kitchen. The beautiful bedrooms upstairs provided tranquil resting places for everyone. We would love to escape to this property next chance we get. For a party of six we found this to be a fantastic value and great location!!

Greatman cottage was the perfect place for a mother daughter girls weekend. The home is perfectly appointed, the directions for all the details not be more clear, and James was more than accommodating and easy to work with. His local guides and suggestions were right on. I would HIGHLY recommend this home to others. Thanks for the lovely, clean, and aesthetically pleasing abode!

Beautiful House! Very clean, spacious, and comfortable. Great décor. Pretty garden to look at. Good communication with host. Easy to get in the house. Nice location in Bywater; it’s a 15-20 minute walk to FQ. No grill outside or dining set on the patio off the kitchen. There were only two of us so one bathroom upstairs was no problem but if you have two to three couples or a big family it might be a challenge. There are no counters for to all three pedestal sinks upstairs; it’s hard to put your toiletries adjacent. There were lower small side tables but not big enough – stuff kept falling on the floor. There is a bath on the first floor with a toilet and shower but no sink/mirror in the bathroom. Nice stay.

We booked both Greatman Cottage and the adjacent duplex "The Loft at Greatman" for our family, which was in New Orleans for a wedding. Both places were beautiful and clean, and a wonderful place to come home to as busy events took place all Thanksgiving weekend. Both places had well-appointed and very nice kitchens and very pleasant living areas, with large, airy windows. There is a wonderful, private courtyard with a beautiful fountain -- a lovely place to relax -- just out the Cottage dining room french doors. The neighborhood is the Bywater, so like much of New Orleans, can be funky -- but very artsy and nice. If you know New Orleans at all you will be comfortable there! Booking the loft as well was great for our kids and grandkids -- so it was a wonderful location for all of us. Our host James we very nice and professional throughout the entire booking process, and was very accommodating to our needs. We recommend both Greatman College and the Loft very highly! One contrast between Greatman and the Loft is that the 3-bedroom Greatman has some fairly steep steps to the bedrooms, while the 2-bedroom Loft is all on one level -- so that may make a difference depending on your visitors. It was all good with us, though. We had the choice of booking at a number of other VRBOs and hotels during this stay, and visited a few of them where friends were staying. We have no doubt, though, that this was the best accomodation we could have had. We loved it.

We had a family wedding in NOLA so chose Greatman Cottage to be close for many events. Nice house with room for 6 adults and baby. Good living room, dining area and kitchen. Close to several good neighborhood restaurants and quick Uber to Marginy and French Quarter. Normally there is plenty of street parking, but workers came every day to work on house across the street so parking was limited during the day.

Our visit to NOLA was perfect in every way - the Greatmen Cottage was beautiful, comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed. The Bywater neighborhood is very cool - architecture, the delicious foods at the Bywater Bakery one block from the house, Crescent Park along the Mississippi is just three blocks away…and an easy drive to so much history, restaurants, jazz clubs and more. Jim is the consummate host - we’ll be back!

Greatmen Cottage was truly spectacular. It was like staying in a magazine. The design and furnishings were both beautiful and comfortable. My kids absolutely loved the outdoor space. It was very easy to park and really convenient to get around New Orleans. And don't sleep on Frady's and Satsuma which are right down the street.

It is a lovely home and very comfortable. Great location and we took the owner’s advice and ate at Satsuma. They have an excellent breakfast, would highly recommend them. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your lovely home.

Covid hit NOLA hard about two weeks before we were scheduled to visit this exact house in 2020 – a long planned family gathering of my children from various parts of the country. It was, of course, a huge disappointment, but happily we had a great host and worked through it. Fast forward to December 2021 and success. And as my son put it, the house was even better than the pictures depicted, and that is saying a ton! Not only do you feel like you are walking into an edition of Southern Living, but it is so comfortable and well appointed. There is a notebook onsite with thorough household instructions and excellent food, drink, and other recommendations for the immediate area – many we capitalized on. The neighborhood is awesome; tons of food and drink options, and for those who want to get in a workout in, a gym and running options (so I heard – I stuck with coffee and pastries from a local spot.) It is a terrific location to explore NOLA from and I highly recommend Greatmen Cottage!

The 17 steep stairs were difficult and the only negative.

This house was an excellent place to stay for our long weekend family trip. The home itself was immaculate and beautiful. We loved using the side yard to sit and drink coffee in before heading out each day. We also really enjoyed the neighborhood-there’s a lot of good food within short walking distance.

Everyone in our group enjoyed James' house. It is historic, comfortable, and feels like a home (vs. an investment property). The couches are plush, the bed linens and pillows are good quality, and it stocked with the things you expect but aren't always provided (lots of pots, pans, and spices in the kitchen; lots of bathroom linens). Its historic charm inside and out enhanced my enjoyment and appreciation of New Orleans. The only hesitation from 5 stars was due to our group's attempt to move the trip due to COVID. We felt it was fair to request moving our trip since we had paid a premium festival price. We were unable to work out an agreement.

This property was so beautiful and spacious and big enough even for a group of 6 if needed. Communication with the owner was very easy and the home was very well stocked and had everything we needed. A gem in a neighborhood with typically much smaller houses!

The cottage was way beyond our expectations! Beautiful decor, comfortable but elegant, well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Terrific neighborhood, we walked into the French Quarter a number of times, along Crescent Park. Though plenty to do closer by. Private, huge out door space with fountain, makes you feel like you are saying in a hotel. Not one thing I would change.

James was an incredibly thorough and attentive host. He truly thought of everything. He left plenty of material to answer all our questions and responded immediately whenever we needed something. His house is phenomenal. Everything was beautiful and clean and worked well. Would highly recommend staying at Greatmen Cottage. Perfect distance from the quarter while still having a quiet, beautiful, high quality home to come back to. Plenty of towels and sheets and very comfortable beds as well.
