Quaint and comfy home away from home

We very much enjoyed our stay. We loved the quiet, homey feel, and enjoyed sitting on the porch looking out over the beautiful yard. Leenie was very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. We were 30 minutes from almost anywhere we wanted to go in Memphis, and we really enjoyed Millington as well. Highly recommend!

Quiet and relaxing yet close to Memphis!

The property is just as relaxing & quiet as promised with not one, but two perfect porches! Leenie thought of everything to make our stay perfect! From comfy beds (the sheets are amazing!), to extra ice & chilled water ready for us-to actually taking the time to call some local restaurants so that we would know if they were open when we arrived on Easter Sunday!The home has ceiling fans throughout, a big smart TV, comfy couches, stools, and chairs. There’s even a desk where you could work if you wanted to. Leenie directed us to great local restaurants and things to do in Millington & Memphis.Thanks for letting visit if we ever visit Memphis again we will for sure stay here!

Exceptional stay

This is the perfect location to explore nearby attractions while still enjoying the privacy this cottage has to offer. The owner went above and beyond to make the stay as pleasant as possible. Some of my favorite features was the fire pit, corn hole, watching hummingbirds feast on nectar while I drank coffee on the porch swing, and the comfortable beds. Do not hesitate to book this property, you will not regret it!!!

Baseball tourney

Our high school baseball team played in a tournament close by our cottage. The location was peaceful and relaxing. Would recommend this cottage for a small family or small group of 5 or less as there is only 1 bathroom.

Long weekend with grandsons

We loved our stay at the cottage. It was perfect for us. Room for our grandsons to run off energy outside. Beautiful porches to enjoy morning coffee & relaxing in the evening. All the comforts of home, very clean inside & outside. Owners are wonderful & close by for any assistance you might need. We were close enough to all the attractions we came to visit. Highly recommend this property.

Peaceful Escape from the Big City

We spent a beautiful three nights at the Cottage in the Woods and could hardly leave. You can expect a well equipped kitchen, a thoughtfully designed space and the beautiful force of a host that is Leenie, who brought us fresh veggies from her bountiful garden and made sure we were happy and well taken care of. We so look forward to coming back soon. Thank you, Leenie and Ray!

Relaxing Trip

Went for a long weekend to check out a couple distilleries, local food and to just relax. This was the perfect place to do so. 20 minutes from downtown in a nice quiet, peaceful area. The cottage had everything you need for your stay and the property manager was awesome and easy to work with. We would definitely stay again. My favorite part was the covered patio to sit outside and drink coffee in the morning or bourbon in the evening.

The Cottage in the Woods

There is a little piece of heaven, at the end of Leenie Lane, close to Memphis, but in the quiet, safe, private beautiful country of Tennessee. The front porch is perfect for morning coffee, and back porch perfect for evening drinks. If you are a bird watcher - this is your place! Thank you Leenie and Ray for sharing your clean and private refuge

Christmas stay

The cabin was so comfy and cozy. All decorated for Christmas for us. Leenie was great. The master bed was wonderful felt brand new. If the weather would have cooperated we would have spent a lot of time out on the beautiful porches. Will definitely go back if there is the opportunity.

A great place to stay!

We had a great time at the cabin. The cabin is well stocked and cozy. The land the property sits on is beautiful, peaceful, well maintained, and private. Leenie was a fantastic host who would do anything to make sure you enjoy your trip. We were in town to see the eclipse and we were blessed with clear skies and beautiful weather to view it in. We also visited the pyramid, the Mississippi River, Beale St. and a number of museums and other attractions in Memphis. Everything is very convenient to get to from the cabin. We had a terrific time and I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a place to stay in the Memphis area.

OUR KINDA PLACE!!

Our stay at “Cottage in the Woods” was wonderful!! We hope to always book “The Cottage” when heading to Memphis. The hosts were wonderful and responsive in every way. It was great to be kinda like out in the country but able to get into Memphis in less than 30 minutes! The Cottage was clean, roomy and, comfortable. There are TWO wonderful covered porches - each with several chairs AND a swing!!! It is surrounded by fields making it seem you are out in the country!! The beds are comfortable, and the pillows and sheets are wonderfully soft. Love the open area including the kitchen, living room and a desk chair and great lighting at the far end of the living room. The laundry room is a plus, too! So …… WHAT’S NOT TO LOVE ABOUT IT?!?!? Thank you for everything, Leenie and Ray!!

Cottage in the woods

Came for a weekend getaway from indiana. From the very beginning Leenie was so kind, and accommodating. One of my favorite hosts out of any place my family and I have stayed. The location is away from the city but close enough to do things. The home was well stocked with any and all of our needs. Very quiet location. Very clean place. 5/5 stars.
