About this property

Cottage Suite 4 - Accessible Studio

Where old-world charm and boutique chic meet!

Nestled in the heart of downtown Fort Payne, The Cottage is a charming boutique hotel that boasts 4 hotel-style suites and traces its roots back to 1936. Renovated with meticulous care, this historical bungalow offers a unique blend of vintage allure and contemporary comfort.

Upon entering, guests are welcomed into the cottage lobby where the owner's son has a snack bar. Grab a snack and leave a donation to encourage his entrepreneurial spirit and support his endeavors!

The boutique hotel boasts four thoughtfully designed suites, each exuding its own personality and charm. While the decor pays homage to the historical context, it deviates from the time period, offering a refreshing and eclectic twist. The fusion of bold colors, art pieces, and unique furnishings creates a dynamic atmosphere that both surprises and delights guests.

The original walls and flooring, carefully retained during the renovation, add a touch of authenticity to the spaces. In each suite, guests can appreciate the contrast between the historical elements and the tasteful, unique decor. The result is a harmonious blend of old and new, creating an ambiance that is both cozy and sophisticated.

Step outside and unwind in the open air. Whether enjoying a morning coffee on the porch or an evening cocktail in the yard, The Cottage offers a retreat that harmonizes with the vibrant energy of downtown Fort Payne.

This boutique hotel is not just a place to stay; it's a curated experience that celebrates the history of the bungalow while embracing the contemporary spirit of modern design. Each suite tells a story of its own, offering a unique and memorable escape in the heart of a historic city.

Cottage Suite #4 has a king bed, a kitchenette, a sleeper ottoman to accommodate a 3rd person, & a penny floor in the bath. It is ideal for guests desiring to be within walking distance of downtown.

Adorable Room, Amazing Host

The room was adorable, well-furnished, clean, and perfect for a solo traveler! The location was ideal for venturing out to explore the surrounding attractions (so much hiking! ❤️) and within walking distance to a number of shops, restaurants, and the community park. Such a lovely town. Lorene was very responsive and super friendly!

Fantastic location, beautiful cottage

Very nice, had everything we needed. May I recommend a Keurig or Walmart single cup coffee maker and decaf for those who can’t do caffeine. We usually bring our own pods when we travel. Thank you for the snacks! Bedding was so comfortable.

Nice Cottage

Centrally located in Fort Payne. Older cottage, but thats part of the charm. These units are very clean, comfortable bedding, and nicely decorated. Awesome staff, Lorene hits a home run with us again. I would prefer not to use anyone else's facilities in the future when visiting Fort Payne.

In the Heart of Downtown Fort Payne

We loved the location of this unit, just a short walk to the quaint downtown area of Fort Payne. Was perfect for a one night stay just passing through the area. The property manager was so kind and prompt in her communication with us. We appreciated the hospitality!

Fantastic little cottage perfectly located

We had a fantastic stay. For the money, this is a great rental. Just a block off the old historic downtown Ft. Payne, most everything there is in walking distance -- restaurants, antique malls, funky cool stores. And also just a few minutes drive from a number of great outdoor destinations like DeSoto Falls. The beautifully renovated property is very nicely decorated, bed is comfortable and has all the amenities you need. Owners did a great job communicating with us. Check in and out process is very easy. We will definitely be coming back.

Cottage in downtown area

I was very impressed with the cleanliness and amenities this rental had. It was a very neat and cozy rental with only four units in the building. When I had a question about the door code not working, the owner got in touch with me in less than 20 minutes explaining what had happened and alleviated the problem.

Just a couple of suggestions. 1) Remove some of the stuff that occupies shelves, so gusts have a place to put their items such as in the bathroom. 2) Coffee bar does not leave much counter space to prep items. 3) Maybe a bit better defined parking by the alley behind the house.

Nice and cozy stay

This place is what you see in the photos of nice and cozy. There is a lot of small details put into this room. I stayed by myself but I know if my wife was to come she would have liked it too but she would have preferred a Keurig coffee machine over the older traditional coffee maker. You are within walking distance to downtown Fort Payne which have some small quaint places to eat and shop in small stores. I would stay there again.
