About this property
Cottage Suite 3 - Queen Bed Studio
Where old-world charm and boutique chic meet!
Nestled in the heart of downtown Fort Payne, The Cottage is a charming boutique hotel that boasts 4 hotel-style suites and traces its roots back to 1936. Renovated with meticulous care, this historical bungalow offers a unique blend of vintage allure and contemporary comfort.
Upon entering, guests are welcomed into the cottage lobby where the owner's son has a snack bar. Grab a snack and leave a donation to encourage his entrepreneurial spirit and support his endeavors!
The boutique hotel boasts four thoughtfully designed suites, each exuding its own personality and charm. While the decor pays homage to the historical context, it deviates from the time period, offering a refreshing and eclectic twist. The fusion of bold colors, art pieces, and unique furnishings creates a dynamic atmosphere that both surprises and delights guests.
The original walls and flooring, carefully retained during the renovation, add a touch of authenticity to the spaces. In each suite, guests can appreciate the contrast between the historical elements and the tasteful, unique decor. The result is a harmonious blend of old and new, creating an ambiance that is both cozy and sophisticated.
Step outside and unwind in the open air. Whether enjoying a morning coffee on the porch or an evening cocktail in the yard, The Cottage offers a retreat that harmonizes with the vibrant energy of downtown Fort Payne.
This boutique hotel is not just a place to stay; it's a curated experience that celebrates the history of the bungalow while embracing the contemporary spirit of modern design. Each suite tells a story of its own, offering a unique and memorable escape in the heart of a historic city.
Suite #3 (sleeps 3 total) has a queen bed, futon-style couch that folds into a twin sleeper bed to accommodate a 3rd person, a bar with stools, & a single shower. It is ideal for a small family or a few adults desiring to be within walking distance of downtown.
Have a large group? You can reserve the ENTIRE COTTAGE. It sleeps a total of 11! Or check out THE HISTORIC GRAND HOUSE next door that sleeps18!
This is a non-pet property. If you need lodging that accommodates pets, check out our Industrial Apartments just two blocks away!
We have PLENTY of parking. There is parking in the front, on the side, & in the back of the property. Cottage Suite 3 is entered through our lobby where the owner's son has a snack bar.

Why they chose this property
We would love to host you!
In remodeling this cottage, we’ve gone to great lengths to preserve the character & charm from the period it was built in. The original early 1900 oak floors are throughout & many of the original wood walls have been restored.
Guests will have the entire suite with it’s own bath & kitchenette.
