About this property
Emory's Place - Close to LSU/Newly Renovated!
Kick back and relax in this calm, stylish space with open vibes.
Once you enter the home, you will be completely amazed at what you see. It is unexpected (in a good way of course)! Even though this home was built in the 1940s, your hosts have completely gutted it, opened up walls, redesigned the layout, and made use of every inch of space they could while still keeping the original bones, doors, fireplace, moulding, baseboards, windows, some of the flooring, and overall character. There is a lot of personal touches and extra cozy details from the hand painted artwork and DIY design to the many pillows and throw blankets.
1940s pier & beam home completely renovated in 2022/2023.
Beautifully landscaped in front yard. The front porch bar features plenty of seating for guests and an outdoor plug to use so you can work on your laptop, charge your phone, and sip coffee/wine. Modern bathrooms with open walk-in showers and large soaking tub, new AC & heater with Ecobee thermostat, new outdoor tankless water heater (you never run out of hot water!), new kitchen cabinetry & 10-foot quartz island with 6 barstools, built-in dining table seating, all new appliances, new flooring throughout except in 2 bedrooms, roller shades on all windows. Wall mounted 50" 4K TVs in all 3 bedrooms and 65" 4K tv in den. Extra-large wide comfy couch with tons of throw pillows. Original fireplace. Brand new Samsung front loader washer and dryer in kitchen. Open layout with lots of natural lighting. 9-foot ceilings, tons of original windows & doors, bright, and modern. Minimalist meets Scandinavian meets chic meets New Orleans style shotgun home.
Backyard was recently fenced in with a large 9-foot horizontal privacy fence and matching gate (December 2024). We plan to add a huge deck off the back door in 2025.
There is a ring doorbell camera and backyard camera monitoring the exterior of the home for safety, liability, and security purposes.
Mid City South, a neighborhood in Baton Rouge, is home to this vacation home. Mississippi River and City-Brooks Community Park reflect the area's natural beauty and area attractions include USS Kidd Veterans Memorial and 13th Gate Haunted House.

So glad we came across this little gem. We needed a place for 6 adults that was close to the river center for a Mardi Gras Ball. The house was beautiful, spacious, neat and very clean. The driveway can fit four full size vehicles. Elizabeth was great with communication. Thank you.
No doubt - this is the BEST VRBO I have ever stayed in! It is roomy, charming, and close to everything. All updated appliances and HVAC, BEAUTIFULLY furnished and so clean! Wonderful HOST and I just couldn't have asked for more, except to control the weather :) 10 stars from this visitor. So happy I found this place.
Good location for LSU events. Home was fine but it was not very clean as we had to sweep floors and there were crumbs and dried food on the counter tops. Home seemed to be a work in progress and renovations were not completed. This would have been nice to know in the description.
Overall Impression when we first got there was good. It’s a nice, newly remodeled home in a decent area.
That’s where the good stuff ends.
We were here for a youth conference and there were 7 of us. Heat in Louisiana is terrible this time of year so we we’re taking showers twice a day. There were only 8 rags and about half that many towels, which meant we were washing a load of whites twice a day. The shower stopped draining on our third evening here. There were multiple house roaches that we killed throughout the house. Garbage disposal didn’t work, not to mention there were no trash bags left in the house to take the trash out, (I did reach out about trash bags, and two were left at our door.) I wish I could leave a better review, but the owner didn’t offer to comp us anything, we were told that she wished we had reached out about each individual thing, and she would’ve sent someone out. If I had done that someone would’ve been there fixing stuff every day.
I hope the owner puts in the time and work to make this a better VRBO for the next guest.
