About this cottage rental
Our cottage is quiet and peaceful, on a tree lined street in a nice residential neighborhood, yet walking distance to all Decatur has to offer. Our cottage is best suited for a couple and one child. It’s a 15 minute nice walk on safe, tree-shaded sidewalks to Downtown Decatur where you will find many award winning restaurants, shops and pubs. Located only two blocks from the Marta station, one mile from Agnes Scott, 4 miles from Emory and the CDC. Keyless entry, thermostat, free Wi-Fi, Roku TV, no stairs. Check-in anytime after 3 pm. Check-out by11 am. Details will be sent closer to check-in.
The Cottage is in our backyard, with a private entrance and walkway. It is a quiet, cozy space. There is a sofa and a 46 inch HD flat screen TV (with Roku including Netflix and Hulu), and DVD player in the front room. In the back there is a very comfortable queen bed with a Sealy Posturepedic Hybrid Plush mattress and 100% Egyptian cotton sheets and quilt. There is also a single size mattress in the small loft area with a reading light perfect for an older child or small adult. The kitchen area has a small oven, cook top, microwave, toaster oven, mini fridge with freezer, a coffee maker with several different coffees and teas to choose from. The bathroom has a walk in tile shower with vanity with clean fresh towels and all essentials needed for your stay.
You have full, private use of the cottage and may feel free to relax in one of our shared spaces in the beautiful back yard. If you are traveling with children, we have a trampoline as well as a large play scape area that your children are free to enjoy. This space is shared with my family and sometimes friends.

The cottage is in close proximity to Downtown Decatur and had everything we needed. It’s in a quiet, nice neighborhood !
Dawn was great with communication and a real pleasure to speak to. The cottage is a definite when we return to Atlanta.

Overall ok, but ac units coming on and going off all night kept my family awake.
Plus, other occupants of the main house parked cars in the drive way that made incredibly difficult to access the unit. Very tough for my elderly Mother. No a good set up… would not rent again…. Certainly for that amount of money.

This was the perfect landing spot for my daughter and I as we visited family. We loved the neighborhood and the cottage was perfect for the two of us.

We stayed here to visit our daughter for the week. I thought the property was great. Nice neighborhood, convenient to the town square yet out of the way. The cottage was just the right size for two. However, our check-in was odd. The manager didn't expect us and didn't act like she even had vrbo rentals. I don't know if that's a vrbo issue (she later said we were expected a day later) or not.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The cottage was located in a private backyard. The home is at the end of a dead end street. Located neat Decatur Square and Oakhurst - many wonderful restaurants and a short drive to Atalanta’s museums, zoo etc.

We were visiting our daughter and this was a 5 minute walk through a very nice neighborhood to get to her apartment. Also an easy 10 - 15 minute walk to downtown Decatur. Cottage does tend to be a bit dark, but it was lovely sitting on the front porch listening to all the birds and the neighborhood was very quiet.
As a matter of personal taste, the mattress was too soft for us, if you have back issues that could be a problem.

This little cabin is in Dawn's back yard. The beds are cozy, the place is clean and had everything we needed for our short stay. We will definitely book again when we come to visit our daughter. Our little dog Darla was intrigued by Biscuit and Cocoa! Can't wait till they get to reunite ❤

We enjoyed our stay. Dawn was welcoming & easily available if we needed, and the little cottage is a cute tiny house with all the amenities we needed. And with a larger bathroom & nicer shower than most tiny houses can boast! We look forward to another visit.

Though I was having an issue with a different VRBO listing simultaneously Dawn was responsive to me about the issue and supportive. I appreciate her hospitality very much and would be happy to stay there again! The trampoline was awesome for our eight-year-old as well.

What a nice little oasis just blocks from downtown Decatur. After parking, you step through the portico and open a door into the backyard and there you see the accommodations! A nicely laid stone path guides you to the front door of the cabin. Once inside you find everything is laid out perfectly, even a small kitchen should you choose to cook. The bathroom is nice, large shower, separate water closet, and a nice sink and vanity. The bed was super comfortable and the towels so soft!! We enjoyed our stay and trying out different restaurants downtown.

Cabin is cute as a button, but not 5 star, maybe 3. There was food in the fridge from previous people. There were very large Palmetto bugs inside and some ants in the loft. It had obviously not been cleaned between visitors except maybe bed linens. Not much lighting. And to get to it you have to squeeze through the owners cars. I nearly fell the first day trying to get around the cars on uneven ground. I booked it for myself and my two boys thinking they would love the trampoline in the picture. But they didn’t feel comfortable using it since the owners dogs came at us one day when trying to get to the cabin and the next day she stops us and says “I thought it was just you staying here” right in front of them. They thought she was unhappy they were there. The reservation clearly said 3 of us. We were only staying temporarily while we found somewhere to stay longer. When my youngest woke up screaming in the middle of the night because a 2 inch palmetto bug was in the bed we decided to find a local hotel to finish our stay. It was just too rustic for our taste.

This was our second trip to the cottage. Our daughter lives a few miles away and this is the perfect place. It is clean cozy and dog friendly.

Location was great. My only compliant is we're not use to window a/c and it was noisy right next to the bed. Also went to make a cocktail and the ice trays were empty of ice in the freezer.

My husband and I stayed with our doggy and we had a wonderful stay. Cottage is adorable and the yard is perfect for dogs or kids to run around in. Dawn is very easy to talk to and communication was fabulous. No complaints!!

We enjoyed our stay at the Decatur City Cottage. It's a small, cozy little place that reminded us of staying at a cabin in the woods. The location can't be beat which makes it even more perfect - 1 mile from Agnes Scott, downtown Decatur, etc.. - and it's a very nice and safe neighborhood.
