My host was great! She was available for any questions I had, and very responsive. The cottage was very well appointed and made to make guests completely at home. There was some really nice, and tasteful, artwork throughout, a great bathroom and shower, and a very comfortable bed.

Immaculate, comfortably, quite new one-bedroom, in a central location in Lafayette.

We really liked it, and the landlady was friendly and accommodating. Near all kinds of stuff, yet a long block off the main drag so it was quiet.

Lafayette Guest House

Our little get away home, which we got to be close to family members whom we were visiting, far exceeded our expectations. The house was adorable and the supplies were just an added plus. Will try to stay here again, when we come for another visit.

Cutest cottage ever!

At the end of a private road, beneath a giant California oak, this retreat is a gem! Clean, comfortable and well-equipped, we especially enjoyed the patio with the scents of lavender and honeysuckle. Thank you Elly for sharing your little slice of paradise.

Hidden down a cobble stone alley, we found a gem of a cottage with a pistachio door. Spotless, cozy, convenient…we can hardly wait to return!

The Best Place!

We were visiting a family and friends and this cozy cottage was the most delightful home-away-from-home! It was super clean, supplied everyday amenities, and washer/dryer. I enjoyed sipping my Philz Iced Mint Mojito and reading my book on the back patio. I highly recommend this location and look forward to booking again soon! Cheers!
