Quaint Guest Cottage

Our small cottage is located in our beautiful backyard on a quiet street within walking distance to Truman State University. Although petite, it is delightfully decorated with family antiques and has all the desired amenities for a weekend stay. Because of the size, the bed is just double (an original rope bed—- made in the late 1700’s has been fitted with a double mattress). Please note: all the linens and towels are line dried.

Free off-road parking
Free WiFi
NOTE: this cottage is completely smoke free. No smoking of any kind is allowed in the cottage or on the porch.

This house is isolated in a quiet, tree shaded neighborhood. It's a charming venue, where I spent three stress-free days. As a singer, I particularly valued bursting into song day or night, knowing I had nobody within hearing distance to disturb! I can't wait to return.

My husband and I stayed 3 nights. It was a very nice, quiet neighborhood. It was close to my family’s home. We loved the furniture in the cottage. We were both comfortable there.

Unfortunate surprise
Adorable cottage but immediately upon entering, smell of damp, musty, mildew permeates everything in every room!! Kept windows open on 40 degree night & left the next AM. Lisa apologized for "old-house odors" (her words) & refunded what she could. I feel awful giving this review because one can tell she trys really hard but the smell resulted in early cancellation. I hope she can fix that.

Calm, cheerful cottage w/ everything you need
It was such a joy to stay in this VRBO. I rarely give fives when I do reviews but this cottage was excellent and I would recommend to anyone needing a place to stay in Kirksville! We had such excellent views out of every window with redbuds blooming at this time of year. The porch bench is a lovely place to sit and enjoy nature, and every detail inside is carefully placed. I would love to return!

Tranquility
This cottage is beautiful. So peaceful. Great wifi connection. Perfect place for a mom visiting her Truman State daughter. Easily walk to campus. Everything was perfect. Only thing to be aware is that the cottage works best for shorter people. I am 5'3" so no problems for me. My husband is 6'2" and he might not have done well in the cottage. I would stay here again. Just wish I would have found this sooner.

Cute country bungalow! It was perfect for what we needed for the weekend.
If you are wanting a quiet weekend this is ideal. No TV but wifi available. Country Farmhouse style that you simply feel at home.
