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. ##### Mark H.

Dawn was such a gracious host and she made us feel very welcome and comfortable during our stay. The cabin was fully stocked with essentials (toiletries, coffee, dishware, snacks) and we watched quite a few movies on Netflix!

The stove top had only 1 of 4 burners working but the owner explained that there was a hot top in the kitchen. ##### Brita R.

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. ##### Amy H.

It was a great experience. Dawn and her family welcomed us and took care of everything. My kids enjoyed the fenced-in back yard with swingset, trampoline, zip-line...and with Lolli the bunny hopping around the entertainment never stopped. Great cottage with privacy if you are looking to be in the Decatur area. Owners make you feel like part of the family. Close to great restaurants & shopping. Fernbank Museum was great. I highly recommend this rental. Everything was easy. ##### Britt B. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### ramya s. 1 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy and Cool This quiet cottage at the end of a dead-end street was comfortable. It was simply too hot in late June (with the heat wave) to do any walking to the downtown Decatur area, but we did enjoy the neighborhood walks and parks nearby early in the morning and late evenings. The cottage is charmingly outfitted and comfortable, but there is no "laundry facility" as the listing suggests (I know Dawn is working to fix it). She was gracious enough to let us do a load of laundry in the main house as we had just arrived after 5 days of camping!Our dog was grateful for the yard and the little patio was perfect for us to hangout (when it got cool enough to after 7 PM). The main house was empty so there was plenty of privacy for us, but I wonder how that might be if it were occupied. The kitchenette is in the sleeping space, so we found lingering food smells after cooking small meals. ![The porch and stone patio that we enjoyed very much!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/702e9e0e-cf88-4d3a-b7d9-ca89058d0f77-1751381562627.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### ramya s.

It has a damp basement ordor. We walked in and instantly the ordor hit us. My family member has terrible allergies so we decided it would be best not to stay. ##### Shonda M.

Plus, other occupants of the main house parked cars in the drive way that made incredibly difficult to access the unit. Very tough for my elderly Mother. No a good set up… would not rent again…. Certainly for that amount of money. ##### Jeffery H.
