Our time in Memphis was amazing and the space was clean and nice. Rhonda was a wonderful host and available for questions and recommendations to restaurants nearby. The location was perfect, short walk to Beale Street for the best BBQ ribs and fun little bars right the corner.

Engagement Weekend
I am originally from Kansas City but Memphis is my second home. When it was time to bring my fiance to Memphis so he could finally meet long time friends and see some of my favorite places I needed a perfect place for us to stay - and The Cottage was the answer. Located near everything downtown but still tucked away for some privacy and downtime. We were able to site see, bop around town, and still get ready for two separate events with ease due to the convenience of parking and quick access to the house. Thank you again for a great stay!

A Lovely Cottage Oasis in Bustling Memphis
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wished it was longer. Our hosts couldn’t be nicer and more accommodating towards us. We were hours late due to eclipse traffic and they didn’t hesitate to wait on us for a late check-in. The cottage was outfitted with all we needed and then some. The location was so convenient to all that we wanted to see and do; we even enjoyed more attractions than planned, because of the close proximity. Thank you, Rhonda, for a perfectly wonderful pexperience!

I had the best time at the cottage. The location can't be beat. Rhonda is an amazing hostess. She even came to the train station to meet me since it was raining and still dark. If you take Amtrak the cottage is a quick walk away. Plenty of restaurants and museums all within walking distance. I will definitely be back Thank you Rhonda for a wonderful time in your amazing city.

Wonderful Memphis
Just returned from a 4 night stay in Rhonda's cottage. It has everything you need for a pleasant stay. But it is the location that makes this place special. Right across the road from where M L King was assassinated and close to Arcade restaurant where Elvis used to eat.Close to Beale Street. A visit to Graceland is a must. Many thanks to Rhonda and Ryan
