About this property

1882 Carriage House In The Heart Of The City!

The Kirkwood Cottage carriage house is located 4 blocks off I-630 - just minutes from the VA Med Center, UAMS and Children's Hospitals, in the heart of the business, South Main (SoMa) and River Market districts.

The carriage house is a good choice for business travelers (in addition to fast WiFi, we have a wireless printer there as well), or couples who want a romantic getaway and it is perfect to accommodate your extended stay guests.

Stay a month or longer for just for half the normal night rate, or stay a week or more and save 10% off the daily rate. Pricing will depend upon length of stay.

We are pet friendly - we have a Yorkie named Bear, who will no doubt greet you when you enter the courtyard.

We have 6 wireless phone chargers. You might have to take your phone out of its case to charge. There is two in each bedroom and two in the living room.

We also have two Alexa dots - one downstairs by the sofa and one upstairs on the coffee station. To listen to your favorite music, just say something like: “Alexa, play classic Christmas music”. Or ask Alexa about what is the weather forecast or where the closest Mexican restaurant is. Just start out by saying “Alexa” and then what you want to know.

A private entrance through the brick courtyard (you will enter thru the privacy fence gate with digital code to enter), hand-scraped hickory floors in living room, painted wood floors upstairs and the original brick floors in entry and kitchen. Two gas log heaters, period light fixtures, and a wood-burning stove add to the historic nature of this upscale 1,470 square foot barn.

Updated features like fast WiFi and two flat panel SmartTV’s with Direct TV, HBO, free Netflix and Amazon Prime (pay-per-view is NOT included; if you choose to rent a movie, please leave payment for it), a large shower in the downstairs bathroom, another full bathroom upstairs, a full size washer and dryer, and quality mattresses in the two adjoining bedrooms ensure you the comfort you deserve.

The kitchen is furnished with a side by side refrigerator with ice maker, dishwasher, microwave, toaster oven, two coffee makers (12 cup and Keurig coffee maker) and self-cleaning oven. Dishes, silverware and utensils are included for your convenience, as well as thick, fluffy towels and linens. We have a second Keurig coffee maker upstairs on the coffee bar.

The enclosed courtyard has a small pond with waterfall and a gas grill, should you want to cook or entertain outdoors.

We also have a crib with changing attachment, children’s eating plates and utensils, a high chair to set on one of the dining chairs. We also have a pop up play men in the upstairs walk in closet. Iron and ironing board is in that walk in closet too and extra blankets including baby blankets.

Automatic lighting means you never come home to a dark house.

The carriage house is located in the Governor's Mansion historic neighborhood and is great for walking or bike riding, with an active arts and entertainment district just 3 blocks away on South Main.

The River Market is quite close as well, with many restaurants, bars, shopping, and the Clinton Presidential Library. Walgreens, a grocery store and post office are just blocks away.

Two night minimum preferred but will accept single nights. Save 50% by booking a month or longer!

Owners live in the main house and is separated from the carriage house by a brick courtyard.

If you need something, call us, text us or just ring the doorbell at our courtyard door. We value our privacy and respect others as well.

Stephen P., Redcliffe, Near Brisbane, Australia

Very comfortable and very well appointed.
Staying at The Carriage House was an experience we were glad we had. From the moment we entered the cool air-conditioned house, we were at home. The property is very well appointed and Donna had taken care of all of our needs. The rooms were large, clean and comfortable. the beds gave a good nights sleep in a cool surrounding. We wanted nothing. The neighbourhood was quiet and friendly and we were able to walk into Little Rock without a fuss. The property, along with Donnas hospitality, has to be experienced to get the full majesty of the home and appreciate the effort she has put in. Thanks Donna, it was a nice experience and we wish yourself and your husband well for the future.

Cute, boho carriage house was lots of fun!
My husband and I enjoyed our visit with our Little Rock family while we were in town for a medical appointment. Donna is so helpful and responsive! The place is adorably eccentric, with all the supplies we could possibly need to be comfortable. Thanks, Donna!

Why they chose this property

I bought the historic Kirkwood Cottage (circa 1882) and its carriage barn initially because it was close to work. But the historic district is full of interesting people and always has something going on.

What makes this property unique

Large open space in the heart of the city - close to everything! Plus any amenity you can think of!
