Great property, outstanding location!
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and found the property to be exactly as advertised. Perfectly comfortable VRBO property and the very best part is that it could not have been better located in Decatur - right near all the great shops and restaurants.

Wonderful little gem and wonderful host !
The house was so cute and amazingly close to town - close enough for my 3 and 6 year old to walk to coffee shops and restaurants ! The host Kelly was great and easy to communicate with and fixed a hiccup with the place immediately ! Couldn’t recommend this place enough!

A beautiful Decatur cottage
From the moment I walked in I felt at home. The house is in a quiet neighborhood in walking distance to some of the best restaurants in Decatur. The furnishings are updated and stylish. The host is responsive and helpful. Will stay here every time I come back.

Lovely house, great location
The house is in a lovely, quiet neighborhood that is in walking distance to a lot of the restaurants and shops in downtown Decatur. It is very clean and well maintained. The backyard and deck were particularly lovely with all the azaleas in bloom. Nice to sit out there in the mornings and listen to the birds. Kelly was very responsive and helpful.

Total Gem
The interior design of this rental was fun and fresh, and lends to a very inviting space. We stayed with our children for five days while visiting family. The host has thought of just about everything. The location is perfect, walking distance to a park, as well as shops, cafes and restaurants. We highly recommend the space and will rent again when visiting family.

Cute & Convenient!
My friend and I stayed here while we were in town for a wedding. The house is charmingly decorated and was immaculately clean. It’s also within walking distance of many cute places to eat, drink, and shop in Decatur. Kelly was a lovely host and helped us resolve a mistake we made in booking our dates without any trouble.

Fall Getaway
We went for fall break and met up with friends from the area. We were within walking distance of several restaurants and shops and were able to enjoy the annual Porchfest activities. The house was cute and comfortable! Would stay there again!

Tranquil & Spacious
Stayed for 2 nights during a work trip. I usually stay at hotels, but chose a different path this time around. The neighborhood was quiet and at walking distance to coffee and restaurants. The charming cottage was very much charming and tranquil. Ideal place to rest after a long work day.

Adorable home in GREAT location!
This place is every bit as charming as the photos, and what you can't see in the pics: super comfy beds! Quiet, restful, perfect. And the location!!! We walked constantly as it's an easy walk to cute Decatur and a lovely stroll to the cemetery. Couldn't have enjoyed our stay more. Thanks, Kelly!!!!

The home was nicely decorated for Christmas in addition to being well decorated generally. The host was responsive to any questions/requests we had. We plan to come back to this property and recommend it to family for future stays.
