Terrell House

We had a wonderful experience. We would encourage everyone to visit and stay in this exquisite one of a kind historic home. We will definitely visit in the future. The owner and staff are extremely friendly and courteous. This turn of the century remarkable house was rehabilitated with high end amenities’, every space has been updated, and it has been modernized with beautifully appointed bathrooms and kitchens, and air conditioning. The decoration and the ambient are very sophisticated with an eclectic—historical period style with beautiful antiques, paintings, and elegant curtains. Every space is kept up in style and super, super clean. The courtyard is great space to hang out after breakfast or in the late afternoon before going to dinner. We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite home across from the large home. Our suite had a small living room, kitchenette, and a modern bathroom with white linen, large dove soap, large dove shampoo, and beautiful curtains. Our suite just is lovely, the A/C worked perfectly. The breakfasts are delicious, with 100% white linen place mats and napkins, starched and ironed, real silverware, elegant plates, glasses and goblets. We could not wait for the next day to see what our chef had in store for us for our morning meal. The location is perfect, in a quiet neighborhood without the bustle of the downtown, a unique place, not like the run of the mill cookie cutter large hotels. It is within walking distant from the bus or trolley to the French quarter, a walk to the Convention Center. We discovered a beatnik artistic style neighborhood just a walk away. In this up and coming neighborhood we enjoyed the art studios of young artists, antiques shops with wonderful pieces, and scrumptious foods in unique restaurants.

Breakfast each morning was served at a time convenient to me; fresh biscuits, eggs of all different kinds, grits, and hand cut fruit. I was so spoiled it was hard to come home. The service was outstanding; if I needed anything, someone was there in a second. When I arrived mid-evening and asked about finding a liquor store, the owner gave me a bottle of wine! I was there for a conference, it's an easy walk to the Convention Center and in the wonderful lower garden district in the Magazine St. neighborhood. I can't wait to go back. Thanks to everyone for such a wonderful stay!

Elegant, comfortable, beautifully restored home...the essence of fine Southern living. Miss Linda, the proprietor, is the consummate hostess. She and her staff are solely focused on the comfort of their guests. Wonderful food, beautifully served. The gracious period mansion and lush courtyards provide perfect indoor and outdoor living space. A short walk down Magazine St is a collection of eclectic shops to explore and friendly venues for dining. Terrell House is not just a place to sleep, it's the fabric of the New Orleans experience. Don't miss it!

My husband and I flew in in from Chicago to stay over Valentine's Day weekend. Our flight was several hours late and so we didn't get in until after 3:00 am. Linda (proprietor) woke up to welcome us and let us in. Despite the late hour she was extremely friendly and hospitable. That was pretty much reflective of the entire weekend. For starters, the house is absolutely gorgeous. We felt so decadent surrounded by antiques in this grand mansion. Everything we could possible want was provided for, from the delicious breakfast (Linda's scones are out of this world), to the waters and sodas that were replaced without charge. The location in divine, steps from St. Charles and moments from all the boutiques on Magazine St. We were able to see all the parades, but weren't disturbed by the Mardi Gras chaos. All and all, it is the most perfect place we have ever stayed. We plan on returning for next Valentine's Day!

great stay!

a genuine, exquisite, New Orleans experience.

A great part of a great vacation in New Orleans. Linda is a wonderful hostess!

We had a most memorable stay in this beautiful period home- wonderful welcome and helpful. We'll be back!

My brother and I don't always do well sharing a room, but with the 2-room set up, we had no problems, (which meant a great stay for the whole family!)!

This house is historic and beautiful. Very comfortable and quiet. The meals and hospitality are top notch!

I had a lovely stay. The highlight was breakfast- among the best I've ever had!

great stay

Linda had a flair for beauty and sophisticated interior design. She welcomes you into her home and serves a hearty and delicious breakfast on pretty linens and family silverware. It was an elegant, yet warm and friendly New Orleans experience!

Terrell House is a wonderful place to stay. I was overwhelmed at the beauty and simplicity of the house. Linda is amazing! great food, great service. we consider her the Martha Stewart of the south!

Outstanding service, food, and accommodations. I feel like I made a new best friend with the owner, Linda. She is awesome!

The Terrell house is AMAZING! Beautiful home with impeccable service. Linda doesn't miss a beat!

This house has been meticulously restored. The attention to every detail is incredible, and they made us feel so welcome! We stayed during the first weekend of JazzFest, and we loved it. We were able to walk a few short blocks to Melpomene and St. Charles to catch the streetcar to the Jazzfest. We loved the fresh flowers in our room, the courtyard, and Linda's cooking (her grits are the best ever!) is so good, that's what got us up and going in the morning! I can't think of a single negative thing to say about it! I will definitely stay at Terrell House again!

This was my first trip to New Orleans - our little group reserved rooms during the Prudential Real Estate Convention. What a blessing to feel like you were coming home at the end of a long day. Linda wouldn't let me help with the dishes, but she fed me the most heavenly breakfasts, our room beautiful - very clean and the decor was simply elegant everywhere. Enjoyed meeting other guests over breakfast and the quiet retreat in the courtyard with the fountain. Easy walk to Lefitte's BBQ. I've been recommending it to everyone and hope to be back someday. Thanks Linda !

Don't miss your chance to stay in the most elegant B&B and savor Linda's delicious breakfast buffet meals. This is one of my favorite home to visit in New Orleans every year. We just love it!

can still be found at the Terrell House. This is the most elegant B&B we've ever stayed in, and could be included in a family of exclusive listings of small inns from around the globe. This quite and safe compound is an oasis for traveler who is on the business road - like we were - or on a visit for relaxation. We want to come back and just stroll and shop on Magazine street and eat!

We loved the Terrell House. It was so comfortable and Linda is a great hostess. Breakfasts were divine. We like to walk so we walked to the French Qtr and the Garden District from the property. Those who don't like to walk may find it far from the French Quarter, but it's a quick cab ride. We'll be back for sure!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Terrell House in Feb. 07 while attending a convention. The convention center is only a 6 block walk which is closer than most hotels. Linda O'Brien is a gracious host and wonderful cook. The accommodations were tastefully furnished with many antiques and original edition books in the library. We highly recommend a stay at the Terrel House!
