Dogwood Den
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
Dogwood Den is a standalone home in Scottdale, a residential pocket of North Decatur, offering whole-house rental rather than traditional hotel rooms. The property centers on a fully-fenced, shaded pine-straw backyard designed for dogs to roam freely, paired with a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood setting. Self-check-in via keypad lock gives guests full, private access to the entire house for the duration of their stay.
Rooms
The home has three bedrooms sleeping a mix of configurations: a primary room with a king bed, a second room with a queen bed, and a third room with two single beds, making it suited to families or small groups. Bedrooms include room-darkening curtains and plush linens, and the home has one full bathroom with a combination bath/shower and premium toiletries.
Kitchen & Living Spaces
The fully-equipped kitchen includes a full-size fridge, gas stove/oven, microwave, Keurig coffee station, and other standard cooking essentials, backed by granite countertops and hardwood floors. The living area has a 55-inch Roku-enabled Smart TV with cable, and a dedicated dining area sits adjacent to the kitchen for group meals.
Outdoor Space & Amenities
A large back patio with an outdoor BBQ grill and a spacious, fully-fenced backyard are among the property's standout features, alongside a balcony, washer, ironing board, crib, free Wi-Fi, and free on-site parking. Air conditioning and heating are both provided, and the home is smoke-free throughout.
Location & Surroundings
Dogwood Den sits close to a cluster of restaurants covering Indian, Mexican, Venezuelan, Greek, barbecue, and pizza cuisine, most within a 15-20 minute walk, plus nearby breweries and cocktail lounges. The nearest bus stop (Cedar St @ Reed St) is about 288 meters away, and the home is positioned near the Stone Mountain Bike Trail, roughly 16 minutes from Stone Mountain Park and 20 minutes from Downtown Atlanta.
