About this property
Cottage Suite 4 - Accessible Studio
Where old-world charm and boutique chic meet!
Nestled in the heart of downtown Fort Payne, The Cottage is a charming boutique hotel that boasts 4 hotel-style suites and traces its roots back to 1936. Renovated with meticulous care, this historical bungalow offers a unique blend of vintage allure and contemporary comfort.
Upon entering, guests are welcomed into the cottage lobby where the owner's son has a snack bar. Grab a snack and leave a donation to encourage his entrepreneurial spirit and support his endeavors!
The boutique hotel boasts four thoughtfully designed suites, each exuding its own personality and charm. While the decor pays homage to the historical context, it deviates from the time period, offering a refreshing and eclectic twist. The fusion of bold colors, art pieces, and unique furnishings creates a dynamic atmosphere that both surprises and delights guests.
The original walls and flooring, carefully retained during the renovation, add a touch of authenticity to the spaces. In each suite, guests can appreciate the contrast between the historical elements and the tasteful, unique decor. The result is a harmonious blend of old and new, creating an ambiance that is both cozy and sophisticated.
Step outside and unwind in the open air. Whether enjoying a morning coffee on the porch or an evening cocktail in the yard, The Cottage offers a retreat that harmonizes with the vibrant energy of downtown Fort Payne.
This boutique hotel is not just a place to stay; it's a curated experience that celebrates the history of the bungalow while embracing the contemporary spirit of modern design. Each suite tells a story of its own, offering a unique and memorable escape in the heart of a historic city.
Cottage Suite #4 has a king bed, a kitchenette, a sleeper ottoman to accommodate a 3rd person, & a penny floor in the bath. It is ideal for guests desiring to be within walking distance of downtown.
Have a large group? You can reserve the ENTIRE COTTAGE! Or check out THE HISTORIC GRAND HOUSE next door that sleeps18!
This is a non-pet property. If you need lodging that accommodates pets, check out our Industrial Apartments just two blocks away!

Hosted by Lorene Anderson
We are entrepreneurs who are always looking for our next project. We met & married in Auburn, AL, where we lived until 2013. We now call Fort Payne home!
- Bryan has a master’s degree in education and spent 10 years of his career teaching high school and junior college students. He played football in high school & college. He loves public speaking, golf, watching documentaries, leading & challenging men, playing guitar & Dr. Pepper. He's "the world's best dad" our 5 kids say! He is also currently the youth pastor at First Methodist Church in Fort Payne.
- Claire has a bachelor’s degree in Building Science & has spent the better part of the last 12 years growing their family of 7. She moved to NYC at age 18 to study architecture. She loves traveling & going on adventures with the kids! She's an organizer, a huge fan of Dr. Pimple Popper, thrift stores, singing/songwriting, coffee, big salads & creatively making money.
We love what we do with hosting.
