Charming 1930’s Cottage


This renovated 1930’s cottage has maintained all of its historical character after a full refurbishment. The kitchen and baths have been updated by adding all new fixtures and new energy efficient appliances. The original doors and casing have been preserved along with the window casings. Bright white painted walls accent the gray flooring. Two bedrooms with high quality queen mattress await the weary traveler. For additional sleeping accommodations, the living room features a full size sofa sleeper. The dining room displays faulted ceiling and accommodates a table for six along with a service bar. This area can double as a work space. The large screened-in front porch features a vaulted ceiling and an outdoor fan. Barn doors open to the landscaped front yard. A BBQ grill , adjacent to the front porch, awaits the chef in the family. Outdoor diners can choose between the front screened in porch or the tree shaded back deck.

Just outside and turn left either on foot or biking and you are minutes from shopping, restaurants, groceries, pubs, the library, parks, pier and those famous Fairhope sunsets.

The cottage is a great place to work remotely. The bandwidth is between 60-100 mpbs.

Perfect Stay
The cottage is adorable. It is clean, well-stocked, and tastefully decorated. We enjoyed the location as it was convenient to town, the coffee loft, and restaurants. We would definately stay again. Thank you Liz for being an oustanding host.

Fairhope stop on our 5 week road trip
We had a wonderful time at the cottage, and in Fairhope. The location has great access to all of Fairhope, by foot, bicycle and/or car. For a couple with a dog, it was perfect.

Great Little Cottage!
We enjoyed 10 days at this clean and comfy cottage. Considering the age of this home, it has been very nicely updated! Unfortunately it was quite chilly during our stay and we were not able to enjoy the screen porch or the back deck. Only downside was traffic noise from an adjacent road. We enjoyed the close proximity to downtown Fairhope and the many great restaurants. We did not experience one lousy meal; Fairhope is definitely a foodie destination!

Enjoyed our stay at the Hidden Cottage
We loved the Hidden Cottage. Felt like home. The kitchen was fully stocked. We had everything we needed for a restful and relaxing vacation. Fairhope is a great little town. We enjoyed the Farmer's market and the concert by the BaldwinPops at the park over the pier. A very welcoming community. We hope to visit again.

Cozy hideaway!
We loved our stay here! The furniture was comfy and beds were great! Everything was very clean and ready for our arrival. Check in was seamless and Liz was great and easy to get ahold of with any questions we had. The kitchen had all we needed to cook and the coffee loft was a short walk! Great location, so close to everything, and walkable neighborhood. We traveled with older dogs and the area surrounding the house felt like a new adventure for them everyday though we didn't leave the property. We weren't expecting the crazy heat (silly of us) but the AC kept up beautifully. The amount of shade that surrounded the house really helped with that too! The screened in porch was probably 15° cooler than outside and was really nice to sit on. We loved this house and our stay! Thank you Liz!

Beautiful sanctuary
We had the incredibly difficult task of going through my grandmother's apartment and clearing her things out after she passed last month. We live in Wisconsin, so it's a long drive for a sad reason. The whole time we were in Alabama was one stressful or upsetting thing after another. This lovely property provided us our one place of sanctuary to escape. It is a hidden gem and allows you a place to recover and face the next challenge. The recommendations from the host in the guest book are fantastic and the Coffee Loft got to know us very well. The whole home is decorated beautifully and the showers/ tubs are spacious, which is a nice change for us. There are plenty of towels and other niceties that you don't think about until you don't have them. Communication with the host was very clear and made everything so much easier. Check in was simple and the requests for check out were very very reasonable. We're hoping to spend some time in the area again for a less stressful reason. Thank you for giving us a little slice of peace in a whole ton of chaos!
