After a long day at Maxwell AFB or downtown Montgomery, you'll drop your keys, stretch out on a king bed, and finally hear... nothing. We've made this farmhouse-inspired cottage in the Cottage Hill historic district a quiet retreat with a private entrance and a full kitchen. It's 4 minutes from Maxwell AFB and 5 from the Alabama State Capitol. 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, sleeps up to 4 with the sofa bed.
We want you to enjoy your stay! It’s likely you won’t see me during your visit, which allows you more privacy and convenience.
However, I am here anytime you need to reach out. If you need anything or have questions, just send me a message and I’ll be quick to respond.
Nestled in the oldest surviving residential area of Montgomery, The Cottage Hill historic district traces its origins back to the pre-Civil War era of the 1830's. This neighborhood encompasses 42 acres of mature trees, sidewalks, and Queen Anne homes. The Hill overlooks not only the Alabama River but also the downtown area of Montgomery. It's within walking distance of several restaurants and nightlife for the city, but placed in a quaint setting with charming and unique architecture.
You will be provided with a unique code that you can use to access the property via the electronic deadbolt.
We recently restored this cottage, so you'll find fresh paint, durable hard-surface flooring and clean, modern touches throughout. Everything is on a single level, so there are no stairs to manage with your luggage. You come and go through your own private entrance, and there is free parking on the premises. Air conditioning and heating keep you comfortable in any season. Because the cottage is only minutes from downtown, Riverwalk Stadium and Maxwell AFB, you can spend your day out and come back to a calm, comfortable place.

A few things to know before you book:
PRIMARY GUEST
The guest who books must be at least 21 years old and must stay at the apartment for the entire reservation. The primary guest is responsible for everyone in their group and any visitors.
RENTAL AGREEMENT
Every guest is required to sign a short rental agreement after booking. This is not optional: our property insurance requires a signed agreement for each stay, and our attorneys have advised the same. It covers house rules, check-in and check-out procedures, occupancy limits, and responsibility for damage. It takes about two minutes, and there is no app to download and no account or password to create. We send it after booking along with a brief check-in form, and your access details follow once both are complete.
THE APARTMENT
This apartment is one of the units in The Cottages, a small community at the corner of Herron Street and Whitman Street. Other guests may be staying in the neighboring units, but your apartment is private. 147 Whitman faces Herron Street. It is the far right unit at the end of the complex on Herron Street.
HOUSE RULES

DURING YOUR STAY
Our cleaning, maintenance, and guest-support team works hard to make your stay great. Airbnb expects guests to be considerate and respectful of hosts and everyone they meet during a stay, and we ask the same toward our team, vendors, and neighbors. Concerns are always welcome. Verbal abuse, threats, or harassment of anyone on our team will be reported to Airbnb.
Please tell us about any damage as soon as it happens so we can sort it out fairly. Please keep total people in the apartment, including daytime visitors, within the guest limit. Please leave the exterior cameras and the indoor noise monitor connected and uncovered.
Commercial photography or filming is only allowed with our written approval before your stay. Approval requires a commercial general liability policy of at least $1,000,000 naming Dreamline Suites as an additional insured. All house rules, guest limits, and parking rules still apply.

BEFORE CHECKOUT
Before you head out, please leave used dishes in the kitchen sink or dishwasher, gather used towels in the tub, put trash in the kitchen bin, take your food and belongings, and turn off the lights and A/C. Our cleaning team handles the rest.
