Thank you so much for your kind words. You are definitely welcome back anytime. Thanks again, Mark
The cottage is wonderful. It is cozy, nicely decorated, and conveniently located. We walked to a downtown restaurant on our first evening and enjoyed a very nice meal. Our host, Mark, was fantastic. He provided proactive messages, great local information, was easy to reach, replied to communications quickly, and even stocked the kitchen with breakfast items. We could not ask for a better experience.
The property was really cute. The best were very comfortable and the location was so convenient. Really close to a lot of restaurants and COFFEE. No tvs in the bedrooms was a bummer. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.
Mark was super accommodating and our stay was full of pleasant surprises surpassing what was mentioned in the listing. It was a quick (read: potentially stressful) trip for me and my 2 kiddos and I can honestly say that these little supports took a huge load off. We will definitely stay here again!
This was a trip for work and I couldnt have asked for a better stay! Very clean home with a very attentive host. Check in and out was super easy and everything you need for a comfortable stay is right there.

Great host. Excellent communication. Clean house with a fully stocked kitchen and bathroom. Nicely decorated, comfy bed, lots of space. The internet was good, and we appreciated being so close to the school. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. The only downside was that we like to watch tv in bed before we go to sleep and neither bedroom had a tv in it. Good tv in the living room.
Mark, the host, is great. The communication, the breakfast, the house. It’s perfect for our needs. This was our second time in as many years and will be booking for next year soon.
The cottage was very cute and cozy. Kitchen had plenty of cookware, utensils etc. It was clean, beds were VERY comfortable!!! Mark was very helpful and pleasant to communicate with. I highly recommend staying here and will definitely be booking next time Im up there.
This was a great place to enjoy with a family or 2-3 couples!!
Yard is great for summer party's for birthdays, and anniversaries.
Host is incredible and very helpful!!
We had a great experience with Mark and loved staying at the Haworth Cottage! It was the perfect location for catching up with our Millikin student and enjoying downtown Decatur. Communication and accessibility were excellent and our stay was much better than a hotel. We are eager to visit again!
Great location. Central to most everything. It would have been nice to have known about the stairs. Cute little cottage with all the essentials. We enjoyed our stay.
