Emma’s Cottage

Emma’s Cottage was carefully restored, renovated, and decorated in loving memory of my grandmother, Ms. Emma L. Gould, who was simply known to me as Grandma. Every thought and detail was done with her in my mind. Her kind heart and hospitality is what made her so special.

Nice Place:)

Cute, very clean cottage. Close to downtown and Maxwell AFB. The neighborhood was nice and seemed like a safe area. The beds were comfortable but the sofa bed wasn't the best.We liked having the washer and dryer and will definitely stay there again if we ever needed to come back to town. Towanda was a great host!

Perfect for a family passing through

My husband and I and our 3 small Boys were passing through for an evening, and this was a perfect little place to tuck away for the night before we went on our way. Towanda had local from-scratch bakery cupcakes waiting for us, the fans on, and a list of local food recommendations for us. Lots of loving and sweet touches to make us feel at home!

Overnight visit to Montgomery

This lovingly renovated cottage was perfect for our trip to visit the Legacy Museum and the Memorial to Peace and Justice (the latter is literally around the corner from this home). The house is spotlessly clean, very cozy, and has two newly renovated bathrooms which made it super comfortable for two couples to share. The host sent great recommendations ahead of our visit, and we loved the hilltop location.

What a great experience! We had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable, towels were fluffy, and the house has such charm and has been lovingly renovated. So many unique touches. The neighborhood is beautiful, lots of old historic homes. We appreciated Apple TV. Will definitely stay again.

Loved Everything About The Place!

Everything about our stay was first class. The owners were terrific.... so easy to deal with, very responsive during the booking process. The house is amazing! One of the cleanest and most nicely appointed VRBO rentals we've ever seen. The neighborhood so quaint and close to restaurants and points of interest in Montgomery. We could not have asked for a nicer vacation.

Just what we needed

Emma’s Cottage was exactly what my dad, brother and I needed as we were passing through on our way to Florida. We were only there for 10 hours, but Towanda provided a clean place on a quiet street for us. Communication was great and check-in was a breeze. The complimentary doughnuts were a nice touch as well. Thanks, Towanda!

Emma's Cottage was just delightful. It felt so good we wanted to stay a few more nights. The accommodations were excellent. The furnishings were wonderful. The property was well cared for with little details of comfort taken care of. Coffee maker, cream, bottled water...just extras were really exceptional. I recommend this to anyone.

Montgomery Must

This place was even better than the online listing. The host was generous and informative. Great location. Super clean. Felt like we had been pampered by Grandma Emma herself. Super close to museums and restaurants. Can't wait for a reason to return.
