This is a little, cute house tucked in downtown Lewisburg. Bed is very comfortable, beautiful bathroom. It's very close to many restaurants, but the weather didn't allow much walking. I would definitely stay again.

We had the most wonderful stay in this well appointed cottage. Everything that you want to do in historical Lewisburg is in walking distance which was indeed what we did. During our stay we drove only twice to Hawks Knob farm and to Lost World Caverns. We are country folks that like our privacy but this cottage and location fit the bill for comfort and conveniences in a beautiful, historical, ‘coolest small town in America.’

Very cute and clean cottage house. Right in the heart of town and a 2-5min walk to several EXCELLENT local restaurants/pubs with a very cool vibe and full of friendly people. We absolutely plan on staying here again. Double car parking spot is shared but second car parking could be one block over on main street.

This cottage is beautifully decorated, with a charming mixture of antiques and modern furniture. The bedding is high end - very comfy. We loved the quiet and privacy and the fact that restaurants, etc. were 2 blocks around the corner. Outstanding from every point of view!

Excellent home in downtown Lewisburg!

We stayed here for a wedding. The home had two very nice bedrooms and one bathroom. It had great outdoor space and was recently updated. One parking spot to use while staying there. It was exactly what we needed and very fairly priced.

About the host

Hosted by anna gehrken

Host profile image
Hi there! I'm Anna and I've loved to play house my whole life! Perhaps this is why I had a wonderful career in the furniture industry. I love design, art, antiques and beautiful linens and this included monograms, a nod to my southern upbringing.

Why they chose this property

This cottage is a little unusual in that it's very private, yet very safe and right downtown!!! Once you arrive, you can enjoy a wonderful downtown Lewisburg experience just a few steps away. People often ask "how did you find this cute little spot"? The answer was that "it found me"! I went looking for a small house which we could use off season and where our son could stay while attending medical school. People loved this little "Doll house" and would knock on the door to inquire about staying here and,......as they say....the rest is history!!

What makes this property unique

As I've said already, this house is unique in many ways, but its privacy and location just can't be beat. It's like it's just a little Doll House is calling your name!
