The Rex House is a three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home that has been renovated while preserving its original charm and many historic design features. Each bedroom includes a queen bed and en-suite bathroom. The master suite offers a sectional that converts to a full-size bed, a seating/sleeping area, and a Juliet balcony. The home also features a contemporary chef’s kitchen, an open dining area that seats eight, and additional seating for three at the peninsula.
Located just seven minutes from LSU and within walking distance of downtown Baton Rouge’s dining, entertainment, and nightlife, this restored home is ready to welcome new stories, memories, and laughter for you and your family.

Built circa 1850 and recently updated in 2018, the Rex House is a contributing property in the Historic Beauregard Town District. Its designation was completed in collaboration with the U.S. Department of the Interior and the Louisiana Department of Historic Preservation. Originally constructed as a four-room, one-story home without a kitchen or bathrooms, it was expanded around 1910 to add a kitchen with Victorian accents.

Today, the three original downstairs rooms and wood floors have been preserved, along with the handcrafted staircase and two upstairs rooms, including the spacious master suite.

EV charging is available outside the house.

    Great location and within walking distance to a lot of the downtown district. We went for the USBC open bowling championship. Less than a 5 minute walk to the convention center. Home was beautiful and well kept. If you are visiting Baton Rouge this home checks all the boxes.

    The house was in great condition and the pictures honestly don't do it justice. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, while the kitchen was well appointed. The house was walking distance to the River Center where we were bowling in the national tournament, while also being close to many great restaurants in the mid city area. Overall, it was an excellent option for 3 couples with 2 young children. We'd happily stay again.

    Stayed here for USBC Nationals. Very spacious, yet cozy, old timey house. Walking distance to the bowling center (drive there - parking out front on street of center is free if you’re lucky enough to get a spot, get locker, leave balls).Slept 7 comfortably. 3 couples & a tag along.Quiet neighborhood.It’s an old house, so when the A/C runs, it’s cold, when it’s not running, it feels warm. Not a complaint at all.Plenty of bathrooms. Fantastic showers.Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Due to Hurricane Helene, we pivoted and needed to arrive early and Elyse was amazing and accommodating as always. This has become our home away from home and secretly hope the secret never gets out about how awesome it is. Thanks again for another lovely stay!!

    Our stay at The Historic Rex House was perfect! Elyse, the owner was incredibly responsive throughout the whole process. She even brought over a large gumbo pot for us to use during our stay! The home itself is beautifully renovated and furnished, well stocked and immaculate. Very comfortable for my family’s trip to Baton Rouge for an LSU football game weekend! Highly recommend this awesome historic property.
