Home away from Home

We stayed at this adorable cottage for a family wedding. Location was perfect - just 2 blocks from my brother's home! Perfect location for walking into Decatur, my brother's "local" The Thinking Man and if needed short walk to the MARTA station. The home was as pictured - we made use of the front porch, back porch and the fire pit. Truly felt like our home away from home for the long weekend. Enjoyed chatting with Nike & Keith and we all loved the rock n roll decor too! We will definitely stay here next time we're in Decatur.

Great space for couples weekend!

We wanted some place cozy for a couples weekend to come down for the Peach Bowl. This house was perfect for our needs. Our hosts were in touch with us throughout the day on check in day and even left lights on for us since we were arriving after dark. We would definitely stay here again!

It was great!

The house is very cute and in a lovely neighborhood convenient to everything we wanted to do in Atlanta. Everything has been perfectly restored with great attention to detail. There is a patio with a grill and fire pit table which was perfect for sitting outside in the evenings. The hosts were wonderful, and so accommodating when we wanted to add another night to our stay.

Great place to stay

My fiancé and I, along with the other couple who stayed really enjoyed our stay. Perfect place for 4 people. The home was very clean and comfortable. The host were great with providing us detailed information regarding our stay. Neighborhood is quiet and kept us away from traffic as we traveled to and from the ATL area. The one thing I’d mention is the patio set was worn,although I could tell it was due to just normal wear from the weather so couldn’t sit out and enjoy the beautiful firepit but I will definitely stay here again for sure!!

Perfect City Getaway

Your Hampshire Street Home was the perfect in-town getaway for us to celebrate our 15th anniversary! The house was perfect! The warm details could not go unnoticed - gift upon arrival, nice note from the owner/manager, a fully furnished cooks kitchen, fluffy towels, soft and comfy bed linens. Our plans did not let us enjoy the quaint front porch and rockers or fire pit, we must make more time to relax and enjoy next time. Morning coffee is a must and you had every detail covered - selection, creamer, sweater-what a treat! Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Spectacular stay in the heart of Decatur

This was by far the best vacation home we've ever had the pleasure to visit. Everything in the home looks brand new and sparkling, and Kevin and Nike have appointed it so beautifully. From the film and musical decor to the modern/rustic style and appliances and fixtures, the home was a visual treat! And we had everything we needed, in easy-to-find spots. Even checking in and checking out was seamless. It was quite cold during our stay, so we did not get to enjoy the front porch or back patio, but they are as inviting and cool as they look in the pictures. If we visit the Atlanta area again before we buy our permanent home there, we will book this beautiful vacation home!

College friends attending funeral

We were a bit loud the first night on the front porch. Our mistake! We weren’t thinking clearly as we have been preparing for a funeral and emotions were all over the place. We stayed up a bit late drinking wine on the front porch. Would’ve greatly appreciated the details of checkin prior to day of. I was flying in and since late check in I decided I could only take a carryon because I wasn’t sure if I would be wandering around Decatur with a rolling bag for a couple of hours. Nike was super friendly and tried to get WiFi fixed while we were there but we were too busy to accommodate person to come back later as we were not going to be home. Not sure if the issue got fixed while we stayed there but there was an attempt. No wifi was no big deal for two nights. Thank you for sharing your little cottage.ac unit was loud every time it kicked on if you slept in back room. Other than that cute little bungalow. Coffee was fabulous and the little snack with water bottles was appreciated!

Great place to stay convenient to Decatur

We stayed here to attend our daughter's wedding. House was very nice and right next to downtown Decatur. The only downside was that metal barstools are not that comfortable after a while. Otherwise, the decor was perfect for an arts focused theme.
