Decatur City Cottage

Let kids climb a wooden ladder to a secret sleeping loft under the roof of a rustic cottage. Adults can kick back and relax here, too. Share a bottle of wine on the porch, choose books and snuggle on a couch, and fall into slumber in a comfy bed. Need more space? The main house is also available and sleeps up to 10. Looks us up The Decatur City House. The Cottage is in our beautiful, gated backyard with a private entrance and lighted walkway. It is a quiet, cozy space. In the front room, there is a queen size crate and barrel sleeper sofa and a 46 inch HD flat screen TV (with Roku including Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime). 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, and a mini fridge with a freezer. There is a Keurig coffee maker with several different coffees and teas to choose from. The bathroom is stocked with clean fresh towels, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. We love our cottage and hope you will too. I look forward to welcoming you to our home. 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. Relax on one of the comfy chairs on the back porch.
