About this property

Charming Family Cottage | Sleeps 8

  • Love the feel of an old historic home, but with all the modern-day conveniences? If so, then this charming and recently restored 80-year-old cottage is the one for you!

    Upon walking in the back door just off the driveway, you will be welcomed into a warm entry way where our guest booklet is located. We hope that this booklet will help to answer any further questions you may have during your stay! Once inside, guests will find the original tongue-and-groove in multiple rooms, as well as many of the larger baseboards, doors, and antique knobs! To the right is your laundry room and to the left is an all-new kitchen for all of your cooking needs, including a coffee bar that's perfect for any coffee lover!

    After exiting the kitchen, you will enter a spacious dining area with a table that offers plenty of seating for all, as well as an antique desk perfect for a cozy workspace. Behind the door off of the dining area is a gorgeous powder room which sits beside the main bathroom and its original cast iron tub.

    Just up the stairs is a cozy reading nook area and two guest bedrooms. The left upstairs bedroom features 2 twin beds and a giant beanbag. The right bedroom is equally as cozy and has a spacious queen bed ready for any tired guests.

    Back down the stairs and continuing through the dining area, sits a beautiful living room with a brand-new gas fireplace, smart tv, and a vintage game console that offers fun for all ages! Off the living room is the beautiful front porch, perfect for your morning coffee.

    The primary bedroom off of the living room features a luxurious king bed, walk-in closet, and your own smart tv. Through the master you will find your own en suite bathroom complete with an oversized shower with a rain shower head.

    This charming and historic home has seen a huge facelift over the past few years. These updates include; all new paint, a new roof, new windows, and new flooring throughout making it completely warm and inviting. The backyard is perfect for kids and families of all ages to grill out, BBQ, and enjoy a relaxing fire with cherished friends and loved ones.

Beautiful and very comfortable! We would stay again.

This was the perfect house for us to stay in for our grandson's wedding at the Trinity Chapel in historic downtown Dayton. Not only is it just a few minutes from the chapel, it is beautiful and very comfortable. With a king size bed and 2 full bathrooms adjacent to the living area downstairs, it had everything we needed. It also has 2 upstairs bedrooms (no bathroom) that would work for older children or grandchildren though we didn’t need them for this trip. I appreciated that the rear entrance to the house was convenient and there was only one step up into the house. It is a short drive to Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain and we would stay there again when we come up to visit family. Checking in and out was easy with very good communication from the owners. Thank you!

Time at Bryan Hill Cottage

My time at Bryan Hill Cottage was delightful! It has a charming and cozy feel that is perfect for a relaxing get away! The home was fully stocked for my stay along with a variety of coffees and teas. The arcade gaming table in the living room was so fun to play and a super cool feature in the home. The owners were lovely, I was very thankful for my stay!

Cute and Quaint

Absolutely loved the vibe of this house. It was perfect for the three of us, but could have easily handled 3 couples or 6 close friends. Seemed to also be good for a couple kiddos and a couple. Very clean. Owners were wonderful and friendly and very communicative. Cute and quaint place to come “home” to after a long day.

Very homey.

I have no complains at all about staying here. The place reminds me of my grandparents house. The house is very comfortable and quite. My wife loved the older look of things and the house also being 80 percent original structure with modern fixtures. It was an enjoyable stay and i would certainly stay here again. It is in a good area with access to anything you need. Kyle and Anne have thought of just about everything to make your stay pleasant.

Charming

This house is adorable! The decor is 10/10, but the small details really add to your stay. They provide quality toiletries, laundry detergent, and good toilet paper(not the cheap stuff). They have nice towels and bedding and have hotel style locks on the bedroom doors. Everything you need for the fire pit is in the garage. The property is well lit at night for safety and convenience.

Perfect for Weekend Getaway

We visited the area for a festival and picked this location since it was in-town and close to the festival. We stayed with some friends, and it worked out perfectly. This property was clean and clearly renovated. The furniture was tasteful and not cluttered (just what you needed for your visit). The AC worked well and the rainfall shower in the master bathroom was too relaxing (spent too much time in there). We did not use all the facilities available, because we were out most of the time (the kitchen, laundry, or firepit), but everything was top notch and had things like pods/equipment ready if needed. The beds were comfortable, and the bedding was of good quality. Not much more I can say but this is a 5-star rental for a few friends or families with children.

Dreamy cottage

We have traveled over the years and have visited lots of rental properties. I must say that this would be at the very top of our list. This cottage has been revamped into a beautiful welcoming venue for anyone to stay in. It’s in the heart of Dayton Tennessee. Access to everywhere you want to be in that area. It’s perfectly allocated with everything you would need for a short term or long-term stay. The owners are quick to respond and are transparent about all costs. The property is meticulously cleaned, organized, and outfitted for any visit you might have. The amenities that they offer for grilling or preparing a meal in the kitchen are second to none. The decor is very charming as well as contemporary. Lots of personal touches everywhere that make it feel like a second home while you’re on vacation..

Amazing House With Everything you need in Dayton

We absolutely loved everything about this property and our stay here, we were there for 4 nights. Its newly renovated and in great shape. Large back yard for our small dog to use. Easy to find and access. Its very close to the heart of downtown Dayton. All in all, there is probably nothing close to this level of personal property for rent in the Dayton area, I would always choose to stay here when I return if its available, and if you are debating between two choices I can tell you right now, pick this home! What I enjoyed the most was all of the excellent thoughtful touches throughout the home. It was very clear that someone took the time to think through everything and chose lovely amenities, like high quality tea bags, curated quality soaps and self care items, abundant laundry pods, and so many great fluffy towels! The kitchen was fully equipped with pot holders, towels, and utensils. My husband especially enjoyed the powerful AC unit and all the ceiling fans! We both loved the extremely comfortable bed and cozy linens and warm duvet/comforter. And the shower with the rain head is perfection. Every time a thought of something I needed occurred to me, it was already there and available! The house is also lovingly decorated and the theme is modern amenities but cozy farmhouse country, they captured it perfectly. Thank you to the hosts for making our stay so comfortable and enjoyable, the trip would not have been as fun without this home.
