The perfect place to spend our anniversary/Valentine's Day! Rhonda was welcoming & made sure we had everything we needed, and gave some stellar restaurant suggestions! Felt like we had peace, quiet, & privacy while still being right in downtown Memphis. (Seriously, so much within walking distance!)

We have stayed in The Cottage numerous times. Perfect for a weekend in downtown Memphis. The cottage is well equipped, comfortable and convenient. It is about a 15 minute walk to the major downtown attractions including being across the street from the Civil Rights Museum. Even though we have never needed them the hosts are always available.
