Cottage Suite 3 - Queen Bed Studio

Where old-world charm and boutique chic meet!

Nestled in the heart of downtown Fort Payne, The Cottage is a charming boutique hotel that boasts 4 hotel-style suites and traces its roots back to 1936. Renovated with meticulous care, this historical bungalow offers a unique blend of vintage allure and contemporary comfort.

Upon entering, guests are welcomed into the cottage lobby where the owner's son has a snack bar. Grab a snack and leave a donation to encourage his entrepreneurial spirit and support his endeavors!

The boutique hotel boasts four thoughtfully designed suites, each exuding its own personality and charm. While the decor pays homage to the historical context, it deviates from the time period, offering a refreshing and eclectic twist. The fusion of bold colors, art pieces, and unique furnishings creates a dynamic atmosphere that both surprises and delights guests.

The original walls and flooring, carefully retained during the renovation, add a touch of authenticity to the spaces. In each suite, guests can appreciate the contrast between the historical elements and the tasteful, unique decor. The result is a harmonious blend of old and new, creating an ambiance that is both cozy and sophisticated.

Step outside and unwind in the open air. Whether enjoying a morning coffee on the porch or an evening cocktail in the yard, The Cottage offers a retreat that harmonizes with the vibrant energy of downtown Fort Payne.

This boutique hotel is not just a place to stay; it's a curated experience that celebrates the history of the bungalow while embracing the contemporary spirit of modern design. Each suite tells a story of its own, offering a unique and memorable escape in the heart of a historic city.

Suite #3 (sleeps 3 total) has a queen bed, futon-style couch that folds into a twin sleeper bed to accommodate a 3rd person, a bar with stools, & a single shower. It is ideal for a small family or a few adults desiring to be within walking distance of downtown.

Great location, but have suggestions
We booked last minute and this was the cheapest option out of four properties on VRBO. We chose this property because it looked decent in the photos and we need it to be close to town. Upon arrival it was dark and it was difficult to figure out where we should park and such. We circled the block a couple of times but we finally figured it out. There was barely any description of the property in the online listing. It is listed as a cottage which makes it sound like it is a single building but it is actually a historic home that is divided into four small studio apartments. When we finally entered where we were going to be staying we were pleasantly surprised and satisfied with what we had chosen from the online listing that barely had a description. The suggestions we have are, including a sink in the bathroom for things such as brushing your teeth shaving your face washing your face washing your hands after using the bathroom, we did not feel comfortable doing those things in the kitchen sink where things such as clean dishes and food prep was happening. We decided that doing those things in the shower would just have to do. Also, we did not understand why the microwave was on the floor. There was plenty of counter space in which the microwave could have been placed or a mounted microwave could have been better, A suggestion may be placing the microwave on the counter and placing the coffee pot on top of the microwave. Although this listing says it sleeps three it does not sleep three comfortably. The futon couch was hard to sit on let alone sleep on. If you are planning to stay here bring an air mattress because you will probably have better sleep on that instead of the pull out futon couch. The bed slept just fine. Also, we stayed during a colder time of the year and there were instructions for turning the AC on but none for the heat option but we eventually figured it out. Also, we were staying three nights and there were no extra towels in the actual room that we were staying we had to go searching for things out in the lobby. Not a problem we just did not understand that is what we were supposed to do because yet again there were no clear instructions for that. Basically, we really enjoyed our stay in Fort Payne and add this “cottage “but would not stay again because of the inconvenience of not having a sink in the bathroom. This is a design flaw in which becomes a dealbreaker for us. We will look elsewhere for our next stay.
