1882 Carriage House In The Heart Of The City!
The Kirkwood Cottage carriage house is located 4 blocks off I-630 - just minutes from the VA Med Center, UAMS and Children's Hospitals, in the heart of the business, South Main (SoMa) and River Market districts.
The carriage house is a good choice for business travelers (in addition to fast WiFi, we have a wireless printer there as well), or couples who want a romantic getaway and it is perfect to accommodate your extended stay guests.
Stay a month or longer for just for half the normal night rate, or stay a week or more and save 10% off the daily rate. Pricing will depend upon length of stay.
We are pet friendly - we have a Yorkie named Bear, who will no doubt greet you when you enter the courtyard.
We have 6 wireless phone chargers. You might have to take your phone out of its case to charge. There is two in each bedroom and two in the living room.
We also have two Alexa dots - one downstairs by the sofa and one upstairs on the coffee station. To listen to your favorite music, just say something like: “Alexa, play classic Christmas music”. Or ask Alexa about what is the weather forecast or where the closest Mexican restaurant is. Just start out by saying “Alexa” and then what you want to know.
A private entrance through the brick courtyard (you will enter thru the privacy fence gate with digital code to enter), hand-scraped hickory floors in living room, painted wood floors upstairs and the original brick floors in entry and kitchen. Two gas log heaters, period light fixtures, and a wood-burning stove add to the historic nature of this upscale 1,470 square foot barn.
Updated features like fast WiFi and two flat panel SmartTV’s with Direct TV, HBO, free Netflix and Amazon Prime (pay-per-view is NOT included; if you choose to rent a movie, please leave payment for it), a large shower in the downstairs bathroom, another full bathroom upstairs, a full size washer and dryer, and quality mattresses in the two adjoining bedrooms ensure you the comfort you deserve.
The kitchen is furnished with a side by side refrigerator with ice maker, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, two coffee makers (12 cup and Keurig coffee maker) and self-cleaning oven. Dishes, silverware and utensils are included for your convenience, as well as thick, fluffy towels and linens. We have a second Keurig coffee maker upstairs on the coffee bar.
The enclosed courtyard has a small pond with waterfall and a gas grill, should you want to cook or entertain outdoors.
We also have a crib with changing attachment, children’s eating plates and utensils, a high chair to set on one of the dining chairs. We also have a pop up play pen in the upstairs walk in closet. Iron and ironing board is in that walk in closet too and extra blankets including baby blankets.

The owner of the property, Donna was lovely. She greeted us and made sure everything was good. The property has a lot of character and was chock full things to meet every need. Donna was very good about communicating with me.
Host is super nice! The place is very welcoming and has everything you need. I had a great stay was perfect for a quiet vacation for me my boyfriend and my dog
The carriage house was very cute and comfortable, and the host was very sweet and accommodating. The house is also in a great location - close to downtown but still in a quiet neighborhood. We would definitely stay here again!
Great place with a nice layout. The host was wonderful. She unlocked everything ahead of time as there was a storm. She was easy to reach and a great communicator The house was pet friendly. The rooms were nicely put together.
Wonderful stay. House was cozy and comfortable. Donna was a excellent host and sweet Bear was a great greeter. We certainly will be back when we have another trip to Little Rock.
Great location to see the historical sights in Little Rock. We walked to the SOMA neighborhood that was interesting and had some nice restaurants. We walked to the Governor’s home. The host was very helpful and caring.
This is a beautiful cozy space, and we loved staying here! Donna was friendly and very communicative, and she makes her guests feel right at home! There are so many thoughtful touches throughout the home. I wish we could have stayed longer, but we would return in a second the next time we’re in Little Rock!
The carriage House’s charm was its authenticity. The hostess goes out of her way to make sure you have the basics-enough blankets, clean towels and sheets, kitchen supplies—etc. twice she visited my husband and I to make sure all was okay and she brought us a basket of snacks. It was nice to have a bathroom upstairs and down, also a washer and dryer. The courtyard is pretty and creative. Our hostess was very dog friendly. There were dog dishes there for my two. My husband and I are seniors. The only drawback to staying longer were the stairs and the uneven floors which are not extreme. They are part of the historic reconstruction but a tripping hazard for older people. I would definitely recommend this rental.
Diane is a lovely host and supplies much more than you will ever need - everything you can think of it here, including spare toothbrushes! It was wonderful.The livingroom has recliners and a very cozy couch, and the beds were beyond comfortable. If we had the time, we would have stayed longer!

Why they chose this property
I bought the historic Kirkwood Cottage (circa 1882) and its carriage barn initially because it was close to work. But the historic district is full of interesting people and always has something going on.
What makes this property unique
Large open space in the heart of the city - close to everything! Plus any amenity you can think of!
