Inn

The Okra Inn Iberville

Among locals it's common to hear folks say something akin to, "I came to New Orleans for a weekend 15 years ago and haven't left yet." The Okra Inn is the perfect place to find out why. 

The home is a historic camelback cottage located in the lively Mid City area on the Canal Streetcar line. There are five bedrooms for rent and we can accommodate up to 10 guests for whole home rentals or individual rooms. The Inn features 12 and 14 foot ceilings throughout, original pocket doors, beautiful crown molding, two living rooms, two dining rooms (with seating for up to 16), three and a half bathrooms, a front porch, back balcony, back patio and our own blend of artsy charm. 

Grab a cold beer and enjoy our front porch (a favorite local pastime). Hop on the streetcar and enjoy a short, quaint ride (for $1.25) to The French Quarter anytime, day or night. Or enjoy all that Mid City has to offer. We are within ONE MILE of:

More than 50(!) locally owned restaurants

More than 15 bars (including three music venues)

Five coffee shops 

Three grocery stores and two specialty markets

One very large beautiful park (City Park, which is larger than New York's Central Park!)

One art museum (The New Orleans Museum of Art)

One sculpture garden (Sydney and Walda Besthoff Garden at New Orleans Museum of Art- it's beautiful and free!)

One bayou (Bayou St John, the only one in town)

One famous beignet stand (Morning Call, Open 24/7)

One famous Italian bakery and gelato shop (Angelo Brocato's - and they bake everything in a little house next to ours, it can smell great!) 

One beloved sno-ball stand (Pandora's)

Two bike rental kiosks (one three blocks away) 

One accessible swimming pool (The Drifter Hotel)

One Hurricane Katrina Memorial 

Kayak and paddle boat rentals (On the Bayou and in City Park)

Great examples of New Orleans' famous above-ground cemeteries

*** We love pets around here! We're pet friendly when accommodations are arranged.

Lindsay Pick

Hi all! We're Lindsay and Adam. Lindsay is a born and raised (seventh generation) New Orleanian who started The Okra Inn in 2014. Formerly, I started and co-owned a wetlands educational tour company called Louisiana Lost Lands Tours--which is still running strong, taking guests into the wetlands on kayaks and motor boats to teach them about coastal erosion and show them the beauty of the coast. Now, in addition to running The Okra Inn, I am very active in the city and its surrounding areas. Adam moved to town in 2014 from Iowa because he fell in love with New Orleans. I am a former high school English teacher, over-the-road truck driver, office worker, and union organizer. We met in The Okra Inn's kitchen during a party for the Endymion parade (the large Mardi Gras parade that goes right by the Inn). We got engaged under the Eiffel Tower in the summer of 2017 during a trip through Europe. During Mardi Gras 2018, we held another party for Endymion, but this time it doubled as our wedding! We lost our sweet pup Honey last year, but Honey was an incredibly important part of The Okra Inn's history. In addition to being the best looking and most avid walker, she helped give us our big start. When Lindsay decided to adopt Honey from the Villalobos rescue center, it turned out they were featured on "Pit Bulls and Parolees," the Animal Planet show that follows Villalobos. The episode followed Honey's natural fit for a homey inn, and as a new business, we found ourselves on national television! Thanks for looking us up! If you'd like more information, shoot a message. We look forward to having you! Lindsay & Adam
