Emma’s Cottage

Emma’s Cottage was carefully restored, renovated, and decorated in loving memory of my grandmother, Ms. Emma L. Gould, who was simply known to me as Grandma. Every thought and detail was done with her in my mind. Her kind heart and hospitality is what made her so special.

We are repeat visitors to this amazing cottage. The home is immaculate, well appointed, and is located in a very quaint historic district that is convenient to restaurants and other sites of interest in Montgomery. The hosts provide thoughtful additional touches such as fresh cut flowers and cupcakes from a local bakery upon arrival. We had some family members drop by while we were there and they were so impressed with the home that they are planning their own visit. I highly recommend Emma's Cottage!!

We will be staying here next time we visit. This was the most adorable place we've ever stayed. I love the tribute to Emma. It made the home so welcoming. Every detail was thoughtful and you have a wonderful eye for decorating. The house smelled amazing and i would love to know what it was. Thank you for being such a thoughtful host.

Nice Place:)

Cute, very clean cottage. Close to downtown and Maxwell AFB. The neighborhood was nice and seemed like a safe area. The beds were comfortable but the sofa bed wasn't the best.We liked having the washer and dryer and will definitely stay there again if we ever needed to come back to town. Towanda was a great host!

Perfect for a family passing through

My husband and I and our 3 small Boys were passing through for an evening, and this was a perfect little place to tuck away for the night before we went on our way. Towanda had local from-scratch bakery cupcakes waiting for us, the fans on, and a list of local food recommendations for us. Lots of loving and sweet touches to make us feel at home!

Overnight visit to Montgomery

This lovingly renovated cottage was perfect for our trip to visit the Legacy Museum and the Memorial to Peace and Justice (the latter is literally around the corner from this home). The house is spotlessly clean, very cozy, and has two newly renovated bathrooms which made it super comfortable for two couples to share. The host sent great recommendations ahead of our visit, and we loved the hilltop location.

Loved Everything About The Place!

Everything about our stay was first class. The owners were terrific.... so easy to deal with, very responsive during the booking process. The house is amazing! One of the cleanest and most nicely appointed VRBO rentals we've ever seen. The neighborhood so quaint and close to restaurants and points of interest in Montgomery. We could not have asked for a nicer vacation.
