Charming Oasis Amidst Decatur’s Beloved Parks

Summary:

Welcome to Graceful-Stays.
Experience a unique blend of comfort, style, and convenience in the heart of Decatur, Alabama. Perfect for solo voyagers or couples seeking a cozy sanctuary, our Sweet Cottage captivates with its open concept living area, rustic touches, and vast amenities, including a fully stocked kitchen and dedicated workspace. Nestled closely to major attractions and parks, unlock the magic of an unforgettable stay at our charming haven.

The Space:
Welcome to your home-away-from-home - an 800 sq ft, one-bedroom cottage, where every inch is thoughtfully designed with your relaxation and comfort in mind. You will be greeted by an open space concept which features a combination of a cozy living room, perfect for evening relaxation, and a fully-equipped kitchen where you can reveal your culinary skills. An array of appliances, including an oven, stove, microwave, refrigerator, and dishwasher, allows for effortless meal preparation. A coffee maker adds to mornings’ simplicity as you relish a quick caffeine fix to jumpstart your day.

The living area exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere, furnished with quality furniture, and a smart TV for your entertainment needs. Whether you're working remotely or simply planning your day full of adventure, the dedicated workspace is a feature you'll surely enjoy.

Take rest after a day's exploration in the comfortably designed bedroom. The chic barn door entrance gives way to the sanctuary of rest, equipped thoughtfully for a tranquil sleep. Plush bed linens and extra pillows assure you of an unruffled slumber—besides, a spacious bathroom paired with modern essentials and a luxurious tiled shower ensures that you start your day on a refreshing note.

Laundry day is made easy with a washer and dryer conveniently stationed in the bathroom. Adjustable heating and air conditioning units promise a comfortable stay whether you visit in the heat of summer or the chill of winter. Safety provisions such as the smoke alarm, fire extinguisher, and first aid kit ensure peace of mind throughout your stay.

Guest Access:
Guests will have full, exclusive access to the entire space - a charming cottage tucked away at the rear of the primary home. A back service road leads you to this private abode. Parking is hassle-free with ample space in the rear area, dedicated to guests, designed to accommodate multiple cars or even trucks with boats.

The Neighborhood:
The neighborhood is quiet. Not a busy street. Neighbors on either side of the home are nice and polite. Neighbors do have dogs and roosters in their backyards that bark and crock when they see or hear movement on the back street.

Getting Around:
There is plenty of parking in the rear next to this unit. We extended the driveway to fit multiple cars as well as trucks with boats.

Other Things to Note:
Position yourself in the quiet neighborhood of Decatur and you'll find you are within touching distance of numerous points of interest. Places such as Point Mallard Park, Cook Museum of Natural Science, and Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center beckon you to explore and discover. In addition, Delano, Wilson Morgan, and Rhodes Ferry Park are local gems that promise infinite fun and relaxation.

With the approach of spring, soak in the birth of new life around you. Perhaps a visit to the nearby parks could serve as your own personal canvas of blooming flowers and chirping birds. And as we look forward to celebrating important holidays like Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day, consider the comfort and convenience of our cottage as your holiday retreat. Enjoy BBQ grills in our backyard or prepare a homemade feast in our fully stocked kitchen.

While we can't promise waterfront views, we assure you of a quiet, comfortable stay with plenty of conveniences. Please note that while we have a lovely backyard, the entrance to the cottage is shared. Practice respect for our neighbors who have friendly pets in their backyards.

Should issues arise during your stay, a handyman and cleaning manager are just a phone call away, offering you peace of mind and unimpeded relaxation. To ensure a calm environment for all, we kindly request guests to adhere to our non-smoking, no pet policy, and refrain from hosting parties or events.

Interaction with Guests:
To offer the best guest experience, we are here for you whenever you have a need. We also provide a number to our handyman and cleaning manager if you have any maintenance or supply issues that needs attention.

Quaint and cozy

This hidden gem was cozy and quaint. Location: We're not familiar with Alabama, but the location's ideal. The directions on the driving apps didn't land us in the middle of nowhere. It was pretty easy to zip in and out of town quickly. Communication: It was fantastic. We even received a reminder of how to find the place and where to park. Arrival: Our check in process was spectacular. Our host had treats, popcorn, and water in plain sight when we first entered our place of stay. That was very thoughtful. The aesthetics and decor:This place was quite charming. I don't think our host left anything for us to want because everything was well thought out. The bedroomWe slept well from our long journey. A comfortable bed is most welcoming. There was a TV in the bedroom.The bedroom door was a farmhouse door.The lamps had a dainty look. There was an armoire that had air-mattress and iron in it (just bring some hangers).The bathroom: There's a full-size shower with a small alcove to store shampoo, soap, etcetera, but the host also has dispensers in the shower for body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. There were an ample amount of towels. They were large towels and very durable too.The faucet to the sink. That's a conversation piece. It's a standard faucet, but it looks like a waterfall. Washer/dryer: We didn't have to use it, but it was a stackable one. The host even left laundry detergent for us. The living roomWe didn't watch TV, but it was available if
