City Cottage on Main St in North Georgia

Constructed in 1929, this home maintains all of its beautiful architectural elements of the original build. Ten foot ceilings, beautiful plaster details, transom windows, walnut and French doors. Endless interesting elements that are largely unknown in modern buildings.

Plenty of room to get lost in this old home occupied by the city elder, Justice of the Peace, Mr. Campbell’s family for 74 years. History abounds, and many people have been married here in front of the fireplace.

Guests love the sunroom that serves as a library and additional sleeping space with a fold out sleeper sofa. The huge living and dining room open into one another to gather with friends and family.

Guest bedrooms feature high quality beds with 100% cotton sheets and ample pillows and blankets. The master bedroom features a king sized premium Serta Black mattress that is luxurious! The master has an en suite bathroom that is in need of a refresh, but is clean and well equipped.

The furnishings throughout are unique and quality to enhance the experience.

There is a breakfast room for a quiet morning coffee or meal to seat four people.
The kitchen features a huge farmhouse sink original to the house. The cabinets and layout of the kitchen are original too. Every utensil is available for your cooking adventures. The huge walk-in pantry includes spices and staples for your use. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking and serving. Calphalon cookware is available so no sacrifices are made.
A large dining room seats 8 people.

Guests also love the massive covered patio that overlooks the backyard. A ceiling fan helps keep the air moving on hot days. You will enjoy the abundance of plants and flowers to be found on the patio. There is also a gas grill and a two burner cooker (please make arrangements in advance so I can have this available). I also have massive cook pots if you want to do a seafood boil. I have added a tv with an antenna so you can watch local football. There is also a DVD player if you want to rent a movie or keep the kids entertained.
For chilly nights, I have added a heater to eliminate the chill so you can hang out on the patio under the colorful lights.
Guests love sitting in the swing and watching the wildlife and enjoying the big backyard.
You are also walking distance to downtown. You can walk to downtown and have dinner or attend any of the Lafayette events.

Please take the time to enjoy the yard and explore the abundance of plants and wildlife. Listed with the National Wildlife Federation as a Certified Wildlife Habitat.
I am available for garden tours if that is of interest.

Under two massive oak trees there is a fire pit for your use and an aged shed is the backdrop for your time in the garden.

Guests have commented that this location is a convenient jumping off point for many destinations in the area.

Fantastic house and host
My two buddies and I stayed at the Cottage while day hiking a section of the Pinhoti Trail. The 3 bedroom 2 Bath was perfect for our crew.Cottage has a fine kitchen with a great set of cookware, generously supplied coffee station, and an assortment of spices.Around back is a huge yard with space to park vehicles off street and a large outdoor covered patio. There’s tables and seating for a large family to enjoy.After our daily hikes lasting from four to six hours, we were drawn to the large back patio to relax and enjoy the afternoons. We were surprised at how much time we spent in this outdoor living area.Highly recommend this house and host!

Fun, historic home!
Needed a place to stay for a friend’s wedding and found this VRBO offering. Lovely historic home that has been well-maintained. Minus a few appliance/TV updates, it truly feels like you’re stepping into a time machine and going back 100+ years. Yet, everything is both functional and quite comfortable. Bed in the master bedroom was super comfortable! Only had one minor issue with a TV remote and it was quickly resolved by the owner. Excellent WiFi as well. Over 100 mbps both up and down. Wish we could have stayed longer and are actively considering booking again in the future to come back and take advantage of the nearby hiking trails.

This seems to be a historic home which still has the charm. May seem dated to some, but that is a personal preference. Our stay was short but pleasant. Janet, the host and Oliver (her large poodle) were very friendly and welcoming. Beds were comfy, and all our needs were accommodated.

Pleasant Stay in History Rich Home
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this historic cottage. We were in town for a family reunion and this home provided sufficient room for five adults and three children. The accommodations were well appointed and had everything we needed for the weekend. The historical architecture was amazing with soaring ceilings and spacious rooms. It was centrally located to all of our activities and places to eat. Janet was amazing. She was responsive to any questions we had prior to our arrival and addressed any questions we had once we got there. If we ever have to stay in Lafayette again, we would absolutely choose this location!

Holiday Stay
My husband and I stayed at this charming home over the Christmas holiday so that we could visit my daughter and her husband who live close to LaFayette. The house was extremely clean and exactly what you would expect from a home built at that time period. We absolutely loved it! The beds were so comfortable. The host was very accommodating and easy to communicate with when we needed. We will be staying here again and would recommend to anyone wanting a nice, clean and comfortable place to stay that is close to Chattanooga but quiet and relaxing.

Very cool historic home with dreamy outdoor sitting
The house was really neat and had nice size bedrooms, living room and dining room. I really loved the coffee table and nook and the windows with clear glass that you could see outside in. The outdoor sitting area in the back was absolutely dreamy with plants and a soothing water feature. The largest bed was soft though the other beds were more firm so depending on what you prefer there were choices. I also loved that I could close the gates which was very helpful when we were outside given the home is on a main road in this small town. There was a salon across the street and the small downtown nearby. My daughter got married in Ringgold at Flat Duck and this house was about 22 minutes and just a few turns away. The owner stayed in an apartment in the back so we were mindful not to block the driveway or leave the gate closed, and while she was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate she was invisible throughout our 3 night stay. I would absolutely stay here again and my only regret is that we were running around so much that we did not get to spend more time hanging out at the historic property.

This home is perfect!
When my family snd I traveled LaFayette to visit family, we were excited to stay at this beautiful vintage home. It is located in a quiet residential area in downtown LaFayette. The home is filled with beautiful antiques, spa quality bed and bath products. Soft comfortable beds and fluffy towels. Three bedrooms with additional sleeping space in living room and sunroom. Formal dining room as well as a breakfast nook. Kitchen is well stocked with spices, utensils, pots and pans, and silverware. Rear covered patio and large backyard are an oasis for relaxation. Patio is huge with large potted plants, a fountain, and an assortment of comfortable seating including a swing, loungers, and table with chairs. Brightly colored pillows and cushions add a cozy touch. The backyard is a natural habitat for birds, squirrels, chipmunks, and a groundhog. The property owner was very accommodating and respectful of privacy. She was quickly available to answer questions/ provide assistance with any issues. This home is perfect , and I look forward to enjoying this home again when I return to LaFayette.
