Charming Cottage Near Memphis’ Best Attractions
Guest rating: 4.7 / 5
Overview
This is a privately booked cottage-style apartment set within a gated community in Midtown Memphis, offering guests an entire unit rather than shared hotel space. It blends residential comfort with proximity to the city's cultural core, making it well suited to travelers who want a home base with character rather than a standard hotel room. The property is unhosted, with the manager reachable by app messaging around the clock.
Rooms & Living Space
The unit features a queen bedroom with soft linens and generous closet space, a lounge area with a sofa and Smart TV, and a separate dining nook off the living room suited to meals or working quietly. A fireplace and balcony add character, while air conditioning and heating keep the space comfortable year-round.
Amenities
Guests have use of a full kitchen with oven, stove, and microwave, plus an in-unit washer, making the cottage practical for both short and extended stays. Additional conveniences include free Wi-Fi, cable TV, an ironing board, and free gated parking on site. The property is smoke-free and kid-friendly.
Location & Surroundings
The cottage sits in Midtown Memphis, roughly a 7-minute walk from Overton Park and 9 minutes from the bars, restaurants, and live music of Overton Square. The Memphis Brooks Museum of Art is about 11 minutes on foot, and the Memphis Zoo is around 20 minutes away. Several bus stops sit within a few hundred meters, and Downtown Memphis and Graceland are both a short drive away.
Dining Nearby
A wide range of restaurants sit within a few blocks, including Huey's Midtown for burgers, Madison Tavern and Side Street Grill for American fare, BABALU for Latin American food, Frida's Restaurante Mexicano, Memphis Pizza Cafe, Hattie B's Hot Chicken, and 富貴 Petals of a Peony for Chinese cuisine, giving guests easy walkable options for every meal.
Best for
This cottage suits couples, business travelers, and longer-stay guests who value a walkable Midtown location near Overton Park and Overton Square along with home comforts like a full kitchen, in-unit laundry, and free gated parking. It's also a solid fit for families thanks to the kid-friendly designation and separate bedroom and living areas, though guests should note the no-pets policy and quiet-hours rules.
Travel tips
Driving is the easiest way to reach Downtown Memphis, Beale Street, and Graceland, all within about a 10-15 minute drive, and free gated parking is included on site. For those without a car, MATA bus stops on Madison Avenue and Poplar Avenue are just a few minutes' walk away, and rideshares or e-scooters are readily available around Midtown. Plan an early check-in or arrival buffer since late check-out after 11:00 am incurs a fee, and keep noise down after 10 PM as the property is older and sound carries between walls.
