Romantic Secret Cottage near downtown Carthage

This rustic, yet elegant guest house is located in the heart of Carthage.
Looking for a romantic getaway? We’ve hosted anniversary couples, honeymooners, and even a proposal! It’s also a restful stop on a trip or a great place to unwind.
Go shopping at the quaint downtown stores or just stay in the cozy house and watch movies on the big screen.
Speaking of movies, Bernie was made about a famous criminal who worked at the funeral home next door. Come explore the infamous small town!

This is built like a studio and a private bathroom, with much attention to detail! You will feel like royalty soaking in the jacuzzi tub. Get comfy and placid in the king bed, while viewing your current show on the Apple TV. Enjoy the soothing sounds of the pond fountain just outside the bedroom windows.

The kitchenette is stocked with dishes, silverware, pans, microwave, toaster, mini fridge, mini dishwasher, and even a mini waffle maker. There are bowls and waffle mix if you feel the urge to whip something up. A gas grill with utensils is just outside the door for your convenience, or you may want to order in or eat out at one of the local eateries.

If you are in need of a true getaway, let us cater and arrange delicious eats for you! We can order custom charcuterie boards and drinks for an extra fee. We will have them stocked and ready in the cottage at your arrival! Message us for details.

This property is behind a house, but the landscaping makes it feel very secluded. The parking is just a few steps away in the parking lot of the funeral home, separated by a fence. You will be welcomed by a beautifully lit, flagstone paved walkway. Feel free to enjoy the fire pit or sit at the table by the serene pond.

This cottage is close to the middle of town. You will be within walking distance of downtown.
The cottage is across the street from the courthouse and sheriff's department, next to county detention facilities, and shares a parking lot with a funeral home. However, once you enter the enchanting yard and gorgeous cottage, you will feel a hundred miles away from it all!

Pet Policy:
We love dogs and understand that people who travel with their fur babies take great care. We welcome house trained, flea-free dogs. Please do not leave your dog in the house alone unless they are in a crate.
We do not allow cats. I am sorry for any inconvenience.
We have a $50 pet fee per dog. Please let us know what type of dog(s) you are traveling with.
Thank you for understanding and following our pet policy.

There is not a washer/dryer, so the cottage is not set up for long term guests. We welcome you to enjoy it for your getaway!

This is a cozy quaint little cottage. It was the perfect getaway and the perfect place to stay. The inside of the property is maintained very well. My only disappointment was there was not water in the pond. We will definitely stay here again.

We loved the antique country cottage vibe. It was very nice. We recommend this cottage for a weekend getaway. The kitchen was clean and compact as necessary for space. Unfortunately, we didn't take any pictures.

Attention to detail

I am a total sucker for antique aesthetics and beautiful woodwork, and i was absolutely in love with y’all’s cottage! The attention to detail—from the cozy color scheme and charming decor to the thoughtful amenities and little extras for things guests might forget—was incredible. The layout is perfect, and the whole space just feels warm and inviting. There are so many unique touches both inside and out that make it feel truly special.The only reason I didn’t give full stars for the neighborhood is that most local shops and restaurants closed early on Saturday (by 2pm), which made exploring a bit tricky. But honestly, it’s not a dealbreaker at all—the cottage itself is worth every bit if you’re looking to unwind and escape the hustle of everyday life.

Great little nook!

Tucked away off the street, barely visible from any angle. It is small and quaint. Lots of vegetation and privacy. Recommended

Overnight getaway

The cottage is so cute and cozy! It was a perfect retreat from our busy days! There was only one complaint - I was looking forward to the jacuzzi bath the most, but when my husband ran the bath for me and turned on the jets, particles came rushing out of the jets and it totally grossed me out.
