Bring the dog. Leave the hotel feeling behind. Quiet grounds, old-school charm, and Prattville & Millbrook just minutes away.

You pull in tired. The dog hits the ground before you've grabbed the bags. The car door shuts—and the day goes quiet. Trees overhead. Porch swing waiting. Fire pit calling your name. Suddenly, you're not managing a trip. Prattville and Millbrook are minutes away, but right here, they might as well be miles. No hotel hallway. No room-number feeling. No rush. Just an old cottage with serious character, quiet grounds, & the dangerous little thought that maybe you don't have to leave just yet.

We want you to enjoy your stay! It’s likely you won’t see me during your visit, which allows you more privacy and convenience.

However, I am here anytime you need to reach out. If you need anything or have questions, just send me a message and I’ll be quick to respond.

You may see us or our maintenance team on-site periodically for routine tasks such as mowing, pool cleaning, or maintenance.

Other Things to Note

A few important details to know before booking:

POOL: The pool is seasonal — open May 1 through September and closed October through April. Guests staying during the off-season should plan for the pool to be unavailable.

📝 Rental Agreement
Every guest is required to sign a short rental agreement after booking
This is not optional: our property insurance requires a signed agreement for each stay, and our attorneys have advised the same
It covers house rules, check-in and check-out procedures, occupancy limits, and responsibility for damage
It takes about two minutes — there is no app to download and no account or password to create
We send it after booking along with a brief check-in form, and your access details follow once both are complete

🏊 Pool Safety — please read before anyone gets in
A PARENT OR RESPONSIBLE ADULT MUST SUPERVISE CHILDREN AT THE POOL AT ALL TIMES. An older child is not a substitute for a parent
Never leave a child unattended near the water, not even for a moment. Drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death for children aged 1 to 4, and it happens quickly and quietly
If a child goes missing, check the pool first
No lifeguard is on duty. Guests swim at their own risk and assume all liability for pool use
The pool is fenced, with a self-closing, self-latching gate. Please keep the gate closed and latched, and NEVER prop it open — a gate that doesn't latch is the single most common way a child reaches the water
Life-saving equipment is at the pool: a ring buoy and a rescue hook on a pole. This is emergency equipment, not pool toys. Please make sure children understand they are not to play with it — the pole can puncture the pool liner, and damaged equipment is not there when someone actually needs it. Guests are responsible for damage caused by misuse
The pool is 4 feet deep throughout — NO DIVING
Keep children away from pool drains, pipes and other openings
No pets in the pool
No glass near the pool
Pool rules are also posted on the fence
Know the property address so you can direct emergency services if you ever need to

🏡 Shared Pool — three homes on this property
The cottage sits right beside the pool, and the pool area is SHARED with guests staying in the main house and the cabin
Please approach other guests with courtesy, and expect some activity nearby during the day
No visitors beyond the guests on your reservation
The pool is open seasonally, May 1 through September. It is not heated, so in-season water temperature depends on the weather

🏠 Open-Concept Layout
