Step Back in Time, Stay in Comfort
Your private guest cottage shares the grounds of the Walter Lee Smith House, a Tudor Revival farmhouse built in 1926 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Mature landscaping—including shady Chinese elms and a towering Aleppo pine in the front yard—creates a rare, park-like retreat in the heart of Phoenix.
While you enjoy modern comforts—fast WiFi, keyless entry, a fully equipped kitchen, and in-unit laundry—you’ll also be surrounded by the history of North Central Phoenix. The main Tudor farmhouse is rarely used, so you’ll have the privacy of your own 800 sq. ft. cottage plus the atmosphere of a century-old estate.
For guests traveling with pets, a dog door and fenced yard make the space especially welcoming for four-legged companions.
Outdoor Space
Enjoy three patios shaded by mature trees, perfect for your morning coffee, a day of remote work, or an evening glass of wine. The Aleppo pine anchors the yard and adds a sense of permanence and calm that’s rare in Phoenix.
Guest Access & Privacy
Guests have their own entrance, private parking, and secure keyless check-in, ensuring a completely independent stay.
Location
The cottage is freeway-close and minutes from:
Uptown & Downtown Phoenix for dining, arts, and nightlife
Spring Training stadiums for baseball fans
Biltmore area for shopping and dining
Beatitudes Campus
John C. Lincoln and St. Joseph's hospitals
Desert preserves and trails for outdoor adventures
