About this property

Cottage Suite 4 - Accessible 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.

Cottage Suite #4 has a king bed, a kitchenette, a sleeper ottoman to accommodate a 3rd person, & a penny floor in the bath. It is ideal for guests desiring to be within walking distance of downtown.

In the Heart of Downtown Fort Payne

We loved the location of this unit, just a short walk to the quaint downtown area of Fort Payne. Was perfect for a one night stay just passing through the area. The property manager was so kind and prompt in her communication with us. We appreciated the hospitality!

Cottage in downtown area

I was very impressed with the cleanliness and amenities this rental had. It was a very neat and cozy rental with only four units in the building. When I had a question about the door code not working, the owner got in touch with me in less than 20 minutes explaining what had happened and alleviated the problem.
