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!

About the host

Hosted by Rhonda Harris

I've spent 2 years renovating this wonderful 1925 property in the Historic South Main Arts District. I live in the front building and am available anytime. I'm excited to be able to welcome guests, answer questions and help make your stay a great experience.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with the history and charm of the South Main Historic Arts District as well as the buildings that line the street. When I got an opportunity to buy this 2 building property, I jumped at the chance. I'm looking forward to sharing The Cottage with my guests and know they will fall in love with this area as I did.

What makes this property unique

There is so much to do in downtown Memphis with easy access to all shops, restaurants and events. The Cottage is on the Main Street Trolley line, so driving isn't necessary.
