Another great Boathouse stay…

We always stay at the Boathouse by the Lake. This property, its owners and support staff are excellent hosts and good humans! They take care of you. We visit with family, as a couple, and this last time with another family. Every penny spent here is worth it, from safety of location, to ease of access to the Quarter. Highly recommended and will always be our go to NOLA home away from home.

Great boathouse!

Worked great for a family of 6 adults! We had the best time just hanging out at the boathouse while getting to enjoy the harbor and lake views. Location was very convenient to the french quarter which was also a plus. James was very communicative in case we needed anything. Thanks again for an amazing stay!!

Lakeside charm

My husband and I loved our week at the lake condo. It's a great central location and the views from the front deck are lovely: diving birds, groups of sailboats out for sailing lessons, larger sailboats and even some paragliding. The back deck was a fun snapshot of a busy marina and had very comfortable furniture. The interior was exactly as pictured and though we only used the master bed, I can see how a larger group could fit comfortably there.

Boathouse Week

We had a great week staying at this adorable boathouse. The location was extremely convenient to Southern Yacht Club where our kids were doing sailing clinic as well as shops, restaurants and grocery stores in the Lakeview neighborhood. We would definitely stay at this property again and would recommend it to friends looking for a Lakefront getaway!

Wonderful Lake Front Get Away!

The boat house is spacious and comfortable. Located in a convenient area of the NOLA Lake Front with exceptional views. The front porch is absolutely perfect for morning coffee and the back porch for afternoon cocktails. Accommodations are extremely comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. We will definitely stay here again for our next trip to the NOLA.
