About this property

1882 Cottage-charming! LOCATION! Pets w/fee. Long term rates,re Springwood Inn.

Lovely 1882 historic Cottage located on the beautiful 20 acre property of Anniston Founder’s home, currently a bed & breakfast named Springwood Inn. This 1882 Cottage has its own driveway for parking and is separated from the inn, each having their own privacy. Terrific amenities include a lovely Pond surrounded by trees for Fishing or Exploring! A 9 hole Disc Golf Course! An older, yet playable Tennis court! Privacy! No crowds! Away, but close to everything! The cottage has two bedrooms, each with an antique double bed and one bedroom also has a single daybed. The cottage also has one bath, laundry room, living room with decorative fireplace, WIFI, and television, and an updated and spacious kitchen fully supplied for guest’s cooking. Beautiful furnishings, some antiques, art throughout the cottage, and all tastefully decorated, this historic cottage has great charm and much comfort. Although a cottage, the ceilings are 12 foot and except for the kitchen and laundry /bath, the floors have original heart of pine wood floors. Built by the town’s founder, Samuel Noble, for a nationally well-known landscape painter, Christopher Shearer, to live in while visiting Anniston to sketch a picture of Anniston, the cottage, has its artistic history so we consequently call this the Artist Cottage. That beautiful painting that was sketched in our Artist Cottage, can be viewed in the Calhoun County’s Alabama Room in the Library located in downtown Anniston. What a large painting this is at the size of 9’x4’. It’s beautiful! As for outside, the cottage has two porches, both front and back, there are lovely views along with lots of woods. Drive back the long, private driveway to this cottage and you can't help but feel that you have made the right choice! Such wonderful tranquility! Doggie friendly as well! $50 non-refundable pet fee per pet due upon arrival. Contact Springwood Inn in Anniston for special long term pricing. as well as government rates for long term stays. Talladega nights are priced at $425 per night with a 2 night minimum stay.

Great location to Cheaha!

Great privacy to sit out on the porch and enjoy the night sky and have it all to yourself. Owners were very responsive to any questions including where they recommend eating :) Very close to Cheaha. We enjoyed our stay

Charming Historic Cottage

We enjoyed our stay at this charming historic cottage in Anniston. The property was very private and we were even able to explore the wooded 20 acre property. Carolyn also made our little ones some delicious cookies, which our kids gobbled down in no time!

Nice just has small beds
Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024
Response from VrboOwner on 9 May 2024
We enjoyed having Melissa and her friends. The beds in both bedrooms are antique Double beds, just as it says in the description of the cottage. But the second bedroom also has a single bed. If the guests are larger people and not comfortable sleeping together in a double sized bed then one one of them might sleep in the singular daybed. The Living Room has two sofas so there are actually plenty of places to be comfortable. So happy you got to come, Melissa, as I was worried about that!

Peaceful stay.

My husband and my 3 young adult kids stayed in this beautiful 18 th century cottage over the Thanksgiving Weekend because we were visiting family that was local. There was plenty of room. Beautiful view of the mountains from the front porch. So peaceful.

Nice host, old house

Carolyn was very nice and helpful. The house is very old and needs attention.

Response from VrboOwner on 9 July 2021
I’m quite disappointed, Sean, in your response as I had given you 5 stars to be kind as I liked you. You had, in your VRBO guest sheet written that you had 2 adults and 0 children, and yet you came with 5 children. That would be 7 people to sleep in our cottage when it says clearly that we have room for 5. Old? Yes, our Cottage is old…….historic actually………..1882………….one of the oldest homes in Anniston, built by the town’s founder, Samuel Noble, for the artist who came to paint the portrait of Anniston’s landscape to both sketch his painting in and to live in. It has wonderful history and charm. And, I do believe that it is decorated to almost perfection with beautiful furnishings and art. It may be best for you to only stay in new homes as older homes cannot be without some flaws. They are no longer new. I’m sorry too that you decided to leave a day early as your son’s baseball team had lost and were then out of the tournament. You had already paid for your stay so that was between you and VRBO. I had been baking you cookies for your last night’s stay when you left early. Life goes on, but I would ask you to look more carefully at your place of stay and make sure that you don’t choose a place that you might call old. It can’t suit you. But, do please, be honest in giving the details of how many will actually be staying with you. That’s only fair to the owners.

The Artist Cottage

We truly enjoyed our stay at The Artist Cottage! It became our home “away from home” as some repairs were being made on our own home. The historic cottage is nestled in a beautiful and serene nature setting and is exactly as listed, lovingly filled with beautiful furnishings ensuring that it is keeping true to its historic nature. Carolyn and Bob were such gracious hosts and made sure that we had everything that we needed during our stay, and we were treated with simply the best homemade chocolate chip cookies! It was exactly what we were looking for.

Comfortable Cottage in Peaceful Setting

The cottage is a beautiful, well-appointed "home-away-from-home". My family stayed there during a very stressful move recently. The cottage was homey and very comfortable. We didn't want for anything. The owner's were very gracious and accommodating. We loved every minute of our time there and highly recommend it. Thank you so much Carolyn and Bob!

Candy, you are such a sweetheart. Thank you for taking time to review our cottage during your busy move. I love your positive nature. We hope you love Alabama!

About the host

Host profile image

We located from the Hilton Head area of South Carolina to be between our two grown children. We found this very unique, historic, elegant, and very beautiful property on the internet, went to see it, fell in love, and purchased it. After three years of renovations and care we decided to open the home and cottage to others to come stay as well. It's a treat!

Why they chose this property

It's privacy and beauty are hard to find elsewhere.

What makes this property unique

Privacy supreme! Beautiful surroundings of gardens, woods, and a lovely pond. Lovely interior!
