Conveniently located within walking distances of all the best restaurants, activities, and park amenities that Historic Downtown Norcross has to offer, in addition to being a 10-minute drive to the Forum at Peachtree Corners. Downtown Norcross is an active downtown area with local events weekly, and the local police and fire station are nearby as well. We are only a 3-minute drive from Flint Hill and 173 Carlyle House for those attending a local wedding, and 18-minutes away from the Perimeter Chapel.
The Cozy Cottage is on a generally-quiet street behind an elementary school. Please note that Historic Norcross has trains pass through downtown frequently, and this train is 3 houses away from our home. We consider this to be part of the experience at the Crossing Collective, but have provided sound machines in every bedroom for those who are lighter sleepers.
2 gravel parking spots are available to the side of our main house, and a lighted, gravel pathway leads from the parking area to the cottage. From the Cozy Cottage, you can get to downtown Norcross in 2 minutes by car, or 5-8 minutes by foot.
The Cozy Cottage is in the back yard of our main house (the Crossing House), and shares the backyard space with the Crossing House and 1 other unit (the Magnolia Mini), which together make up the Crossing Collective. The backyard space is the only shared space on the property, and we have quiet hours between 10pm to 8am to ensure all guests have a pleasant stay and that our neighbors are happy. There is a decibel meter that will notify you via text if you reach the noise limits for our area. Please note that it does not monitor or record conversations, but simply the noise level.
About Us: At the end of 2021, we got married just down the street at Flint Hill, with a rehearsal dinner at the 173 Carlyle House, and we loved the area so much we bought this house as place to come back to when we are in town. It is our first home together and we wanted it to bless others like it has already blessed us, so we decided to renovate it and add 2 additional units in the backyard to be able to host more people in one place. When we got married in 2021, there were no options like this available to host Catherine’s family from out of town, so we wanted to create a space where sweet memories can be made for our guests. We are usually traveling for work, but Daniel’s mom, Bonnie, and cousin, Jessica, are just down the road for any needs that may arise during your stay. We hope you love our homes as much as we do; we had you in mind as we built them!
