About this property

Historic District North End Cottage

Have fun with the whole family at this fully remodeled cottage. Our home was built in 1936 but we updated it from top to bottom. All new furnishings throughout. The North End is known for charm, tree-lined streets and walkable to Hyde Park in a safe and warm environment. Our home is protected front and back with fencing so the kids and dogs can enjoy it too! If you like that “cottage feel” you will love staying here. While you are our guest, enjoy the whole property. Parking is easy in front of our home as well as access from the alley. We offer a pack n play, toddler floor matress and Bumbo seat for little ones. We have Vivint Smart Home to keep our home safe. Cameras are on front doorbell and backyard view to the alley. All emergency services can be obtained on the Hub just inside our front door (police, fire, medical).
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage! It was in a perfect location and felt like home. We appreciated the communication from Marlene, the snacks and drinks available upon arrival, the comfy beds, the great backyard for our dog and everything else about the home. We dropped our freshman off at BSU and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

It was spotless and had great kitchen amenities, cooked a frozen pizza on a cookie sheet, Edgar our golden doodle was very comfortable and I felt safe letting him outside.Host went out of their way to leave nice comfortable lawn chairs and an umbrella and we got to spend time outside. Neighbor very nice and quiet. Wonderful bike path. 20 minute walk to Hyde park, no problem with a stroller.

Absolutely perfect place. My family and I felt at home instantly. Clean and everything we needed. I was shocked at how spacious and safe the home felt. Absolutely beautiful neighborhood and super clean and modern home. We have two small dogs two kids and a camper. I was able to remove our pop top truck camper and safely store it in the rear driveway and park our large truck in the front. The yard perfectly manicured was pet safe for no escape. The home had toys and puzzles for the kids. My wife and I had privacy from our kids at night and wow it was perfect.
