French Quarter Festival 2024

The Okra Inn was a great festival house for our group 7. Some of us ran up and down the stairs (all of the bedrooms were upstairs) and some of us climbed the stairs slowly . . . Every morning we gathered around the roomy island/bar to have fun cooking breakfast and COFFEE TOGETHER. These original NOLA houses have some stories to tell and the Okra Inn was intriguing in that way. It was colorful, clean, and comfortable, especially the rocking chairs on the front porch. The property hosts, Lindsay and Adam, were friendly and responsive. We all loved our time together at the Okra Inn. See you soon, Mercedes

Great spot for a family stay!

Amazing place

This vrbo was very cute and aesthetic. Lots of space and in a great location to access areas like Jackson Sq and Downtown NOLA. The house had a sweet southern charm and definitely lived up to New Orleans reputation. I was so thrilled with our stay and our hosts were incredibly accommodating and have a very lovely home.

Great spot for a family

In NOLA for a family reunion, staying here with other family at the Iberville location about 6 blocks (walking distance) away, Hosts very helpful and accommodating. Wonderful space allowing for both togetherness and privacy. Near streetcar, shopping for staples, and numerous eating options. We’d do it all again.

About the host

Hosted by Lindsay Pick

Hi all!

We're Lindsay, Adam, Penny and Ringo. Lindsay and Penny are fifth and sixth generation New Orleanians. Lindsay started The Okra Inn in 2014 and now it's a family business.

Adam moved to town in 2014 from Iowa because he loves the city. Adam's resume is one of the most interesting around. He is a former high school English teacher, over the road truck driver, union organizer, and relay assistant for the deaf. He enjoys reading, playing too many hours of computer games, watching sports and cooking very delicious food.

Formerly Lindsay co-owned a wetlands educational tour company called Louisiana Lost Lands Tours--which takes guests into the wetlands on kayaks and motor boats to teach them about coastal erosion and show them the beauty of the coast.

Why they chose this property

The Okra Inn isn't your average listing. It's a cozy lodge, providing a great spot for travelers to rest after exploring our amazing City. We also work with local artists to have their art on display to increase their exposure. And The Okra Inn is a work in progress- trying to figure out the logistics of becoming a greater resource to the community.

Thanks for looking us up. If you'd like more information, shoot a message.

We look forward to having you!
