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.

A kitchenette is outfitted with a stovetop, a microwave, and a dishwasher. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

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.

This was our second stay at Emma’s Cottage, and it was every bit as perfect as the first. The house is immaculately clean—every room feels fresh, bright, and welcoming. It’s clear that a great deal of care goes into keeping this property in flawless condition.The décor is beautiful, and the cottage has everything you could possibly need: comfortable furnishings, high-quality linens, a fully equipped kitchen, and countless thoughtful touches that make it feel like home from the moment you walk in. Delicious, fresh-made doughnuts from a local bakery were waiting for us when we arrived.The host’s hospitality is truly second to none. Before our arrival, we received the entry instructions along with a warm welcome note inviting us to reach out if we needed anything at all. It’s rare to find someone so genuinely attentive and dedicated to their guests’ comfort.We can’t recommend Emma’s Cottage highly enough—if you’re visiting Montgomery, this is the place to stay. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Emma’s Cottage was the best. It was clean and quiet and so nicely put together. The beds were comfortable. And it was walking distance to good food and sites. We went to visit the Legacy sites and this was the perfect location. I would stay here again

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!

Great stay

It was a great experience. Nice neighborhood. The host was great. They had bottles of water in the refrigerator for us and cupcakes on the dining room table. The house was beautiful inside and outside. My wife has already said the next time we come to Montgomery we are going to try and get the same place. She wasn't ready to leave.

What a great experience! We had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable, towels were fluffy, and the house has such charm and has been lovingly renovated. So many unique touches. The neighborhood is beautiful, lots of old historic homes. We appreciated Apple TV. Will definitely stay again.

Beautiful quiet cottage

We loved our stop over in Emma’s cottage. It was so quiet and peaceful. The beds were comfy. There were fresh flowers and donuts waiting for us. It is precious to read about Emma’s life in the home. I just felt safe and calm there. We are porch people, so we loved the swing in front. We ate downtown, which was very close. You could walk. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for sharing with our family.

Great house, great story, such a tribute!

Emma's cottage is wonderful. Excellent neighborhood, beautiful house, perfect communication. The owner had lights on, waters in fridge, and doughnuts. Conveniently located near downtown. Close to everything we were going to. We will be back to Montgomery & Emm's cottage will be the only place we look for!

Just what we needed

Emma’s Cottage was exactly what my dad, brother and I needed as we were passing through on our way to Florida. We were only there for 10 hours, but Towanda provided a clean place on a quiet street for us. Communication was great and check-in was a breeze. The complimentary doughnuts were a nice touch as well. Thanks, Towanda!

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!

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.

Emma's Cottage was just delightful. It felt so good we wanted to stay a few more nights. The accommodations were excellent. The furnishings were wonderful. The property was well cared for with little details of comfort taken care of. Coffee maker, cream, bottled water...just extras were really exceptional. I recommend this to anyone.
