Clean, convenient, affordable.

This was a nice option for our last minute trip over New Year’s Eve weekend. We felt like we had sufficient privacy, the place was clean, and conveniently close to anything to do in the Fort Payne area.

Cosy Guest Cottage-Small Town close to the Outdoors!

The cottage was so comfy and perfect for the 2 of us. It was close in town but very quiet. It was very easy to communicate with managers and we had no problems. It is a great small town and there are lots of fun things to do within a short drive. I would definately stay there again and recommend it to a couple.

Great location

Small cute cottage. It is very close to town, yet the property is private with beautiful trees and a peaceful backyard. Very safe neighborhood. Extremely clean, thanks to the awesome property manager. Wifi was excellent.

Fun romantic weekend away

The host was very easy to communicate with and had a very nice detailed information about the rental and places near by and things to do. The house was close to the downtown area but was up a quite hill and we had a very pleasant weekend away at this house. Everything was very clean and as described. The bed was comfortable and a very inviting space!

Ok for a few nights

The property was comfortable enough for a short stay but not great for more than a few days. The cooking is limited to hot plate and microwave. Hot water for the shower is iffy. It ranges for cold to scalding and no in between. There were lots of bugs as well. On a positive the owner is super nice and fairly responsive.

Fort Payne stay

In general, the house needed some upkeep and cleaning (light bulbs missing, lots of bugs, grass not mowed). However, the property owner did everything she could to help make our stay enjoyable and allowed us to stay on an adjoining property. While this property wasn't ideal for our needs, the property owner was extremely helpful to try to improve our experience.

bate and switch

We thought we were going to have privacy. I saw we were offered the big house,that we didn't know was there until two days before our trip and I was given the address. I was told we could have stayed in the main house but there was someone in the main house. The coffee pot was sticky. we only stayed Friday night and didn't go back. I thought we had a private deck and felt like we were trespassing on the main house's deck. Not the privacy we thought from the pictures.

Host did not have home ready-someone else staying there

Arrived at the property and someone was coming out of the cottage we had booked. Had no communication with host regarding any change in booking. Called host and she stated her cleaning person had cancelled, though she had not contacted me to let me know there would be a delay in check in. I had to call her to find out what was going on, why there was someone in our booked home. She told me it would be 2 hours until we could check in, offered the adjoining place, but it was not clean, either. Host offered no other arrangement but to tell me I should probably find another place to stay, then, with no offer to assist. Very unprofessional and unacceptable from someone who claimed she did this for a living.

Sweet Home Alabama

This little cottage is charmingly decorated. Though it is located in the heart of Ft Payne there is a feel of being in the country because of a wooded area across from and directly behind the unit. Ft Payne is a perfect central location to view and visit the surrounding area. We went to Scottsboro for Unclaimed Baggage and lunch at The Liberty Restaurant; made several trips to Mentone to eat at The Wildflower Cafe; drove to Buck's Pocket State Park and several more day excursions and were always with a 40 minute drive back to Ft Payne. The unit is furnished with a full sized refrigerator, a two burner hot plate, a toaster oven and coffee maker. There is ample cookware and dishware to prepare and serve simple meals. Sleeping quarters are in the loft which has ample head space to stand upright. There is a daybed rather than a sofa in the area that suffices as a living room. No cable TV is available but the wifi allows streaming of subscribed services like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. Our host was hospitable and quick to respond to any calls or text messages.
