Nestled in the tranquil Algiers neighborhood of New Orleans, Colleen's Cabin is a thoughtfully curated sanctuary that blends vintage charm with modern comfort. This 1,200-square-foot gem feels like stepping into a cherished storybook—warm, welcoming, and utterly livable.

The Heart of the Home
Bathed in morning light through generous windows, the main living space glows with chestnut -toned Pickwick Pine paneling. Dimmable vintage fixtures cast a soft, flattering light perfect for reading, creating, or simply unwinding. American antiques and carefully selected Mid-Century pieces create an atmosphere that's both nostalgic and fresh—not fussy, just inviting.

The kitchen is where Colleen's Cabin truly shines. Black and white tiled countertops provide a classic canvas, while a deep porcelain farmhouse sink anchors one wall. Opposite, an expansive pantry offers abundant storage (a rarity and a luxury). A vintage John Stuart dining table seats six comfortably—ideal for long dinners with friends or spreading out your latest project. The kitchen is fully equipped with a double-door refrigerator with ice maker, gas range, and dishwasher.

Rest & Refresh
The botanical-inspired bedroom is a peaceful haven featuring a full-size bed and an extended twin daybed—perfect for guests. The newly renovated bathroom is a spa-like retreat clad in luminous Black Italian Marble, transforming daily rituals into moments of indulgence.

A Connection to Nature
Colleen's Cabin sits on the grounds of a working hobby farm, where chickens cluck, citrus trees bloom, and seasonal vegetables flourish. Fig trees offer their sweet bounty, herbs grow abundantly, and friendly farm animals—chickens, roosters, cats, a dog, and horses—provide gentle company. It's country living with city access, offering space to wander, daydream, and breathe.

Thoughtfully Designed for Real Life
This isn't a vacation rental—it's a home designed for living, working, and creating. Central heat and air, off-street parking, high-speed WiFi, and a layout that accommodates real remote work make it ideal for writers, artists, and anyone seeking a beautiful, functional space.

The Neighborhood
A dedicated bike path at the end of the street connects you to the Algiers Ferry and downtown Gretna. Full-service grocers are nearby, and an elegant James Beard-recognized restaurant sits just half a block away. You're close to everything, yet worlds away from the noise.

Concierge Living
As your host, I bring 25 years of luxury hospitality experience to ensure your stay is seamless. I live next door and am available to answer questions, share local recommendations, or arrange cleaning and laundry services (for a fee). Fresh farm eggs, seasonal produce, and insider access to the best of New Orleans are all part of the Colleen's Cabin experience.

About This Lister

Hello, I'm Karen. I moved to New Orleans from California in 1994 and fell in love with this city's rhythm and soul. After years in the French Quarter and Bayou St. John, I discovered the quiet charm of Algiers and created this sanctuary for kindred spirits. My farm hand lives in a small apartment attached to the cabin, and I have a trusted long-term tenant across the street—we're a small, caring community.
