Host was accommodating and the house was nice! We only came back to sleep at night and the beds were some of the most comfortable ones we've slept in. Would come back again if in the area.

Yes, comfortable beds are a must! So glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you!
Very nice stay . Very clean and comfortable. If there anything bad to say, it would be if your coming in a group of cars there is no parking. So two cars tops on the drive way. I would stay here again.

Thank you for the fantastic review! Glad you found the cottage to be clean and comfortable. To be accurate, we have a full sized double driveway. Plus a tandem space. We have never had any trouble parking 2-3 cars. In addition, we also have free street parking. Much more parking than most in the area. Thanks again!
We moved our son in for school and stayed at this cute home! Lauren was awesome and the house is adorable!

Cozy, convenient, and nicely kept.
We had a wonderful stay while visiting family in Denton. The house was equipped with all things needed (coffee!) and it was very clean, updated, and cozy. Many accommodations were provided to make our stay stress free, and the location was perfect for visiting family. Highly recommended cottage. The owner was also quick in responding if needed for anything.

Thank you Ashley! Very pleased you found our cottage to be stress free, clean, updated and cozy! That is our goal. Please come back!
What a surprise!
Great location and fantastic place.
It's MUCH larger on the inside than it looks on the outside. I don't know how they did that.
Lauren is a fantastic property manager. We were well taken care of!
This cottage gets my highest recommendation!

Dreamy Cottage!
As soon as you walk in the door, it feels like you've come home to that perfect little cottage of your imagination. Charm and luxury abound!
Bedding and linens don't miss the mark - very comfortable.
My son and I stayed for one week and were completely comfortable and at home. It's also super close to the campus (walking distance) and downtown.
The owner has really gone above and beyond to make your stay relaxing - a coffee machine with coffee, a small basket of snacks, and toiletries in the bathroom.
When we come back next year, we will definitely reserve this little dream cottage!

The hosts are extremely kind, and even after multiple attempts to fix a specific issue with this property, it persisted forcing me to terminate the agreement earlier than expected. The beautifully renovated house was in the perfect location and the perfect size. However, the 3rd bedroom wasn’t usable due to a very strong mildew odor. In fact, the smell seeped into the entire area which inevitably permeated all of my bedding and clothing. I realize there’s only so much you can do with an old home, but a repair is definitely required to bring it up to a proper standard. Unless this sort of thing doesn’t bother you.

Thank you for the review Beth. Glad you appreciated our sweetly renovated home and found the location and size to be perfect! Even though no other guests have reported an odor in more than 5 years of operation, we did install a whole house carbon filter amongst other upgrades. We are happy to report that the cottage feels and smells fresh and clean! In fact, several guests who have stayed there since have been quite happy, all with 5 star reviews!
I've traveled a lot--camped under the stars, slept in train stations and in 5 star, exclusuve hotels. I know quality. Stones Throw is quality. Lauren and Doug's homes (I've also stayed at their Shiplap Cottage) include subtle details that make you feel like you're at home and pampered at the same time. It's fully modern, yet homey too. The art and furnishings are carefully designed to allow a nix of modern and antiques to work together. There is real art on the walls, games on the shelf, everything you need to cook or bake almost anything, and the beds are sooo comfy, And it's clean. Not just surface clean, really clean down to every nook and cranny. Plus they use sustainable, unscented products, so it feels really healthy to be there. Really an exceptional experience!

Such a wonderfully detailed and thoughtful review! We love it when our guests notice and appreciate the little things like the art, games, decor and kitchen supplies. And happy you enjoyed the detail cleaning and unscented products! Looking froward to your return. Thank you Amy!
Perfect location for UNT move in weekend. The cottage was well appointed and comfortable and everything from check-in to check out was simple.
Will definitely be back.

When it finally stopped raining, we walked to the square. Jupiter Coffee House was on Point!
Love the decor and all the convenient hospitable perks. Coffee, snacks, thick towels. Toiletries. Would love to come when not so wet n cold and chillax on front porch or the back yard..

About the host
Hosted by Lauren
I enjoy offering guests thoughtfully curated spaces with stylish comfortable decor. We want guests to feel the Denton vibe when they stay at our cottage.
Plus we now have a total of two charming cottages in Denton! "Shiplap Cottage" near TWU and "Stones Throw Cottage" near UNT. My husband and I are also very involved in Denton County real estate. We encourage everyone to visit the historic downtown Denton square where you will find live music, local restaurants and fun shops.
Why they chose this property
We chose this property in the highly sought-after 76201 zip code due the vibrant college atmosphere and the Historic Downtown Square which is unique, active and has numerous independent shops and restaurants. To top it all off, the craft coffee and craft beer gardens are some of the best we have found, anywhere in the USA!
What makes this property unique
This was a rare find! The cottage has beautiful natural light and a charming look and feel. I can't say this enough, but we love the easy and close proximity to UNT & TWU, as well as arguably the best downtown square in Texas--and maybe even the nation!
