Quaint Guest Cottage

If you have ever dreamed of living in a tiny house, here’s your chance! Our small cottage is located in our beautiful backyard on a quiet street within walking distance to Truman State University. Although petite, it is delightfully decorated with family antiques and has all the desired amenities for a weekend stay. Newly renovated (foundation work with dehumidifier, new flooring, and remodeled bathroom) in 2024. Because of the size, the bed is just double (an original rope bed—made in the late 1700’s has been fitted with a double mattress). The kitchen is small but sufficient for light cooking. Please note: all the linens and towels are line dried. If you visit during prime flower season a bouquet of flowers from our garden will welcome you!

Free off-road parking
Free WiFi
NOTE: this cottage is completely smoke free. No smoking of any kind is allowed in the cottage or on the porch.

We loved this charming little cottage! Remodeled and decorated beautifully. It was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Kitchen and laundry room are an added convenience in addition to walking distance to Truman State University.

This cozy cottage is lovely! It is peaceful and well decorated with sturdy antiques and thoughtful details. The kitchen and bathroom are small but are perfect for a restful get-away. There is stunning art and a small library with interesting tittles. This was my first stay but I am already planning a return trip.

The kitchen and dining and living and bath and sleeping areas were perfect. Full size bed was very high up but they provide a step stool. Keurig coffee maker with Kcups, water and sparkling beverages in the fridge. Overall, much nicer than a local hotel or motel. Internet but no TV, a blessing.

Adorable cottage

The cottage was clean and very quaint. We stayed here for two nights and couldn’t have been more pleased with Lisa’s hospitality. The instructions were clear and the food recommendations were great. The decor was timeless, cozy, and well thought out! We would stay here again!

Quaintest Cottage Ever!

This is my favorite place to stay when visiting Kirksville. It is nestled in a quiet/safe neighborhood and walking distance to the Athletic complex on campus. It is so comfortable and relaxing to stay here. It's my last year traveling to watch college soccer; I am really going to miss this place!

This is a very cute place to stay, especially if you love antiques and history. A perfect get away for anyone wanting quiet and, perhaps, reading or study time. There is no TV, and due to the antique decor, I wouldn’t recommend this as a place for kids.

Perfect location and so cozy!

This charming cottage was the perfect place for me to spend a week while visiting my daughter, son-in-law, and grandson. I felt very much at home with everything that I could possibly need or want there for me. Great communication with the host, the listing is absolutely accurate in every way, and this property was better than I could have ever expected

Respite from City Life

This house is isolated in a quiet, tree shaded neighborhood. It's a charming venue, where I spent three stress-free days. As a singer, I particularly valued bursting into song day or night, knowing I had nobody within hearing distance to disturb! I can't wait to return.

Calm, cheerful cottage w/ everything you need

It was such a joy to stay in this VRBO. I rarely give fives when I do reviews but this cottage was excellent and I would recommend to anyone needing a place to stay in Kirksville! We had such excellent views out of every window with redbuds blooming at this time of year. The porch bench is a lovely place to sit and enjoy nature, and every detail inside is carefully placed. I would love to return!

Very quiet and clean. Front door light is too bright. Possibly add blinds or continue to encourage folks to shut it off at night.
