Cozy cottage

My husband and I (in our 60s) enjoyed our weekend stay in this little house that is very nicely updated, well furnished, thoughtfully outfitted, clean and comfortable. The host was an excellent communicator and also very kind as she accommodated our need to change our travel dates due to the winter storm.

Our 10 night stay here was wonderful! The owner has thought of everything and the welcome binder was full of helpful information. Alrhough it’s small in space it was very adequate for the needs of 2 people. The bathroom is very small with little room to put your toiletries but a small stand was provided. It’s an older home but the entire house interior has been completely remodeled. We were extremely frustrated bt the lack of a number pad on the control for the tv. It was very difficult to find the networks and shows we wanted to watch in the Roku app even in the ‘Recents’ or ‘Favorites’ categories. Overall, this was an excellent place to stay for our visit to Decatur. We would definitely stay there again!

Good location and price

Overall clean and comfortable experience. Probably the time of year and environment but could use a bit more pest control for small/large insects. Host was great at communication and location was perfect for us to be able to visit family easily!

Family getaway

Pristine property and amenities. Neighborhood a bit rundown next door home particularly with cars in front yard. Otherwise, quiet and pleasant. Home provided with lots of extras. I contributed some skirt/pants hangers as there were none in closet.

About the host

Hosted by Beth Hedgecock

Host profile image
It is a pleasure for me to design comfortable spaces for others to gather and make memories. We are a small family run business so please keep in mind we do not have staff on call 24 hours for non-emergencies. We give our guests space to enjoy our home without interruption as much as possible. My husband and I work closely to design spaces under the Effortless Corporate Rental brand.

A little about me.... I love reading, family time, and strong coffee. Along with my husband, I love to travel and see the world. Mostly the little known places where we can enjoy great food and even better conversations getting to know the residents. I was born on the East Coast, grew up in the Midwest and have lived all over the world. We finally settled in North Alabama several years ago after having lived here on and off for the last 20 years.

As an experienced traveler and under the Effortless Corporate Rentals brand, my husband and I strive to bring our travel experiences to our guests, providing the needed amenities for a comfortable stay.

We are hands off hosts and give everyone their space but don't mind hearing from you should any issues arise during your stay.
