Our cottage is quiet and peaceful, on a tree lined street in a nice residential neighborhood, yet walking distance to all Decatur has to offer. Our cottage is best suited for a couple and one child. It’s a 15 minute nice walk on safe, tree-shaded sidewalks to Downtown Decatur where you will find many award winning restaurants, shops and pubs. Located only two blocks from the Marta station, one mile from Agnes Scott, 4 miles from Emory and the CDC. Keyless entry, thermostat, free Wi-Fi, Roku TV, no stairs. Check-in anytime after 3 pm. Check-out by11 am. Details will be sent closer to check-in.
The Cottage is in our backyard, with a private entrance and walkway. It is a quiet, cozy space. There is a sofa and a 46 inch HD flat screen TV (with Roku including Netflix and Hulu), and DVD player in the front room. In the back there is a very comfortable queen bed with a Sealy Posturepedic Hybrid Plush mattress and 100% Egyptian cotton sheets and quilt. There is also a single size mattress in the small loft area with a reading light perfect for an older child or small adult. The kitchen area has a small oven, cook top, microwave, toaster oven, mini fridge with freezer, a coffee maker with several different coffees and teas to choose from. The bathroom has a walk in tile shower with vanity with clean fresh towels and all essentials needed for your stay.
You have full, private use of the cottage and may feel free to relax in one of our shared spaces in the beautiful back yard. If you are traveling with children, we have a trampoline as well as a large play scape area that your children are free to enjoy. This space is shared with my family and sometimes friends.

Week to see family in Atlanta
We stayed here to visit our daughter for the week. I thought the property was great. Nice neighborhood, convenient to the town square yet out of the way. The cottage was just the right size for two. However, our check-in was odd. The manager didn't expect us and didn't act like she even had vrbo rentals. I don't know if that's a vrbo issue (she later said we were expected a day later) or not.

Quiet & Private
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The cottage was located in a private backyard. The home is at the end of a dead end street. Located neat Decatur Square and Oakhurst - many wonderful restaurants and a short drive to Atalanta’s museums, zoo etc.

Great location
We were visiting our daughter and this was a 5 minute walk through a very nice neighborhood to get to her apartment. Also an easy 10 - 15 minute walk to downtown Decatur. Cottage does tend to be a bit dark, but it was lovely sitting on the front porch listening to all the birds and the neighborhood was very quiet. As a matter of personal taste, the mattress was too soft for us, if you have back issues that could be a problem.

About the host

Hosted by Dawn Hammond

Host profile image
I am a mother of two amazing kids, I am an RN and work from home. I have lived in the city of Decatur for 15 years and I absolutely love it. I am so excited about hosting and sharing this great city with others. I enjoy gardening, reading, yoga, traveling, camping and love being a Mom. When I was younger I was a nurse in the military and had the opportunity to live in Italy. While there I traveled all over Europe and stayed in many B and B's. Those memories are some that I will treasure forever. I hope I can be as good of a host as I have had the pleasure of experiencing. I look forward to meeting you.
