Planning our next visit

If 10 stars were available we would give Miss Tessie and her guest house all 10!! Cottage is very clean and well appointed. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the swing listening to the birds. Our only disappointment was that we had so much planned in the area that we didnt have more time to spend with Miss Tessie! We now need to plan another trip to LA just to be able to enjoy this wonderful accomdation.

Every time we visit Fairhope we stay at this property. Always 5 star! The property is beautiful and the cottages are immaculately maintained. Tessie is a wonderful host. She is a wealth of information on where to eat, things to do and the history of the area.

A small efficient cottage with plenty of cabinet and closet space. The bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed the swing and the gardens. The host (miss Tessie) was very interesting and a delight with her stories. We will be back.😍

Country Living

Tessie was a great hostess. The cottage is in a lovely country setting. Had everything we needed to be comfortable and kitchen was well supplied. Laundry also very convenient. Do be aware there is no Wi-Fi. That information is in the VRBO listing and it was my fault for missing that. We enjoyed our stay and Fairhope is a great little town to see!

Peaceful and Relaxing

If you're looking for a place to relax this is definitely the place to be. I loved sitting out on the large, covered porch. It had a small table and a swing. The inside was quaint and extremely clean. Although somewhat secluded it was only a short drive to the downtown area. The host lives next door but did not intrude on us at all. We had to invite her to sit down with us and tell her the history of the place. My husband and I have already decided to come back to the same place next year. We loved it!
