Wonderful stay! Felt very nice and safe for my puppies I had with me. After being in the car for a while they enjoyed the fenced in yard very much. The neighbors were all personable and friendly. Took some suggestions on places to eat and visit from the guidebook provided. Really appreciated the little amenities as well!

My friend and I absolutely loved our stay in Decatur this past weekend. We came for a mini-writing retreat, and the cottage was perfectly cozy despite the plunging temperatures outside. We each especially loved all of the thoughtful details the hosts had around the house like their silicone sponge and the un-paper towels and even the swing in the yard that we nearly missed! Plus, there were so many amenities within walking distance and the neighborhood is charming, quiet, and lovely.

The pillows and bed were great. I really like the attention to using cloth instead of paper. It would be nice to have cloth napkins in addition to the cloth paper towels. It was easy to check in and nice to touch base with the owners.

Cute cottage that was a great place to stay for a couple of days while in Atlanta. The hosts were very nice and the rooms were clean. There are no paper towels or napkins for environmental reasons - there are plenty of cloth reusable towels but just know before you go if that’s not for you. Overall very pleased with our stay.

This property felt like home, perhaps even better!! I'm always a bit hesitant to stay at rental homes, especially after having a very negative experience with an another popular home rental company in Atlanta during Covid with a filthy rental when I had to go be with my daughter to care for her after emergency ankle surgery while she was in college. Not only was the unit disgusting, receiving prior complaints from other guests, but the other company did nothing to help. Thankfully, I had nothing to worry about with this beautiful East Lake Cottage. It was spotless, looking and smelling clean. It had everything I needed.There are two churches on the opposite side of the street. I was there on Easter weekend. There was a large funeral at one of the churches. I was unable to park right in front of the home during the funeral, but I still found convenient parking. Every other time I came back, I found parking right up front. The neighborhood is very quiet and I felt safe the entire time. Very cute area. I would definitely recommend and come back. Don't hesitate to rent this property.

Cute cottage in a great area

The house is a little older and had the charm that was perfect for us. The closed in backyard was just what we needed for our dog. I loved sitting on the front porch with my morning coffee and just taking a much needed breath. The owners were great about getting back to me super quick on questions I had.
