I can't tell you what a great place this was to stay. More than we expected!! I was traveling with 2 girlfriends, my husband and our 2 children and this place was perfect. The owners, Lisa and John were so very cool and have really done this place up right. The rooms are awesome, even cooler than the website. The... more

My boyfriend and I spent a lovely weekend at the Lookout. Lisa and John were excellent hosts, and we had a great time hanging out with them at nearby bar Vaughn's. The Bollywood room is an orientalist's delight, all leopard spots and fat bellied Buddhas. Everything about the Inn was great, and we loved staying in the Bywater. We will... more

A charming, hidden gem of an Inn in one of the most interesting and historic parts of town. Hot tub, pool, sheltered patio with trees and fenced in yard; elaborate and large rooms that are really great for themes, fun couples, or just regular groups. 2 blocks away is Vaughn's, which has some of the best local bands south of... more

First, let me say that Lisa and John - the proprietors - are fantastic. They are easily the warmest, most laid-back hosts I have encountered anywhere in my travels. They really made everyone in our party feel at home (we rented out the entire house). They were around when we needed them, disappeared when we didn't, and hung out with... more

stayed here twice in 2005 before katrina and returned for french quarter fest and the place is even better as are the gracious hosts - john and lisa. bywater is a great area to be in and only a short walk to marginy and the quarter. I will certainly stay again but I wont 3 years between visits. more

I tell you riding through New Orleans and the neighborhood leading up to the house was a little scary but don’t be swayed. It ended up being in a decent area and the house was amazing. 4 rooms with full bathrooms and each decorated to a theme. Refrigerators and microwaves were also provided so we could bring our own food.... more

Management response from
drs, owner

Actually it was 5am, and they disturbed my next-door neighbor, and he was yelling at them. I didn't make them go inside or anything, they just had to stop yelling in between the two houses. We started a new policy now, we tell parties not to yell until they get in the back yard, cause our neighbor sleeps in the...

We loved this place! We stayed for two nights in the Mardi Gras Room. The room was huge and gorgeous with an old antique-style bed, very romantic. The bathroom was a beatiful old Victorian room. It was very quiet, but so much better than a sterile chain hotel, and for a bed & breakfast type place, we loved the informality.... more

My fiancee and I absolutely loved the Lookout Inn and the Bywater neighborhood. The room was great and the grounds were fantastic. Loved the hot tub, pool and cabana area in the back. There are excellent, though not fancy, restaurants within a stone's throw, and a couple of very cool bars, Vaughn's and BJ's, less than a block away. Vaughn's... more

My wife and I stayed at the Lookout Inn for four nights for our wedding. The Lookout was outstanding in every respect. First, as others have noted, Lisa and John are terrific people. They are laid back but do everything necessary to ensure their guests' satisfaction. We liked them so much that we invited them to our wedding! Second, the... more

We've stayed here twice in the past few months -- once with our dog who got along great with theirs, and more recently just me and my mom. It's perfect. Their rooms are beautiful and comfy as can be and the back yard is so relaxing & calming with its wading pool, love birdies and Jacuzzi/shower/bar & coffee setup. Having... more
