### Historic French Cottage in Downtown Arcadia

A French country–style cottage nestled in the heart of downtown Arcadia, this charming retreat sits on the grounds of the John Lee & Mourning Jones House (b. 1893), a true historic landmark built by John Lee Jones, Arcadia’s first mayor and relative of General Robert E. Lee.  
  
Whether you’re visiting for a quiet weekend getaway or discovering historic Arcadia, The Grotto Maisonnette offers a convenient stay, just steps from the charm of downtown Arcadia’s shops, restaurants, and local attractions.  
  
Step inside your private suite, thoughtfully restored with a fully renovated kitchen, elegant bathroom, and a Queen bed on the main level. Upstairs, the cozy loft with a full-size futon provides extra space for families or small groups.  
  
Enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine in the courtyard, surrounded by bistro lights and the warmth of a fireplace. The space also features an outdoor bar with a built-in cooler, ideal for small gatherings or simply relaxing under the stars.
