One of Best

Came in for the weekend. The check in was super easy. Came inside and got settled. All three rooms had queen size beds. Im a big guy and need a big mattress. All three beds were super comfy. Rooms were adequate for what I needed. This place would have worked for me if I was here for a month or just a weekend. Awesome little cottage! I was really surprised at how everything was conveniently located to the cottage. The neighborhood was super quiet and relaxed. I would definitely stay here again in the future and recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Everything was great. We were only there for about 14 hours on a stopover from our drive back home. The property was as advertised and the hosts made check-in and check-out very easy. And the property was conveniently located in the city. The home was very clean and put together well. The only minor issue was that one of the comforters had a hole in it with stains. But all else was great for our stay.

The Perfect Cottage for Competition Weekend

We were in town for a dance competition weekend. The Edinburgh Cottage was absolutely perfect for our weekend stay and close to the venue. The check in and check out process was so simple and the yard was perfect when the girls finished their full day of dance and could run of that extra energy and get some sun.

Beware, maybe a scam

There were issues from the beginning. I felt like i was house sitting cats and raccoons. The house has a bad roach problem. And they are try to get more money after i hired a cleaning service. Please beware of this property.

Dropping off our Freshman

We had a great stay at Edinburgh cottage. We stayed while dropping off our daughter for her freshman year at LSU. It was conveniently located near campus and everything else we needed. We will definitely be staying again over the next 4 years. The house was great and quite cozy! The owners were great with communication and even left this Tiger mama with lots of tissues! We look forward to another stay here.

Lovely stay!

This is the perfect place for a family vacation! The house was full of things that we needed upon arrival and we always felt safe. The owners were a text away if we ever needed anything. The beds were super comfy and there was the cutest raccoons that stayed near the house and always come out to greet you. If we ever come to Baton Rouge again, this would be our first pick at where to stay.
