Step Back in Time, Stay in Comfort

Your private guest cottage shares the grounds of the Walter Lee Smith House, a Tudor Revival farmhouse built in 1926 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Mature landscaping—including shady Chinese elms and a towering Aleppo pine in the front yard—creates a rare, park-like retreat in the heart of Phoenix.

While you enjoy modern comforts—fast WiFi, keyless entry, a fully equipped kitchen, and in-unit laundry—you’ll also be surrounded by the history of North Central Phoenix. The main Tudor farmhouse is rarely used, so you’ll have the privacy of your own 800 sq. ft. cottage plus the atmosphere of a century-old estate.

For guests traveling with pets, a dog door and fenced yard make the space especially welcoming for four-legged companions.

Outdoor Space

Enjoy three patios shaded by mature trees, perfect for your morning coffee, a day of remote work, or an evening glass of wine. The Aleppo pine anchors the yard and adds a sense of permanence and calm that’s rare in Phoenix.

Guest Access & Privacy

Guests have their own entrance, private parking, and secure keyless check-in, ensuring a completely independent stay.

Location

The cottage is freeway-close and minutes from:

Uptown & Downtown Phoenix for dining, arts, and nightlife

Spring Training stadiums for baseball fans

Biltmore area for shopping and dining

Beatitudes Campus

John C. Lincoln and St. Joseph's hospitals

Desert preserves and trails for outdoor adventures

we were in AZ for a hospital stay with our daughter it was a stressful time but we were fortunate to be able to book our stay with Tracy. she was wonderful and worked with us to extend our stay in the rental as needed. A very stressful time would have been more stressful if we hadn’t booked our stay with Tracy. The house was perfect, had everything we needed and in a safe. nice neighborhood! I highly recommend this rental.

This is our second stay and has become our favorite place. We travel to phoenix to visit our daughter and we take our dog. This place is just perfect. Great location, close to our golf course and restaurants. The fenced yard is great for the dog and has options for outdoor seating that we enjoy. Always wish i could stay longer!

Loved the place!

I loved this little property. It was well laid out and decorated. For such a small place, there were a lot of discrete spaces which made it seem really spacious. The location was perfect for my needs. Communication was fast and easy. I will definitely recommend to others

It was exactly what we were looking for, close to Spring Training sites and only 15 minutes to Chase Field and downtown Phoenix. Fry's, Sprouts, Costco, and Mall close by. Cottage has all the amenities one could ask for and was very clean. Tracy and Chris were easy to reach and were very accommodating if one needed anything. I would recommend this property.

Everything in the home was perfect, down to the small details. I had everything I needed and was as comfortable as I would be in my own home. I appreciate them having me!

We had a lovely time exploring Phoenix. It was surprisingly quiet and very private, considering it was on a main road. Tracy was quick to answer any needs or problems we had. We felt the light was rather dim for reading in the living room and (the very same day) a floor lamp was waiting on our front entryway for our use when we retuned from exploring! The kitchen is well equipped with a nice eating area. It looked like it would be pleasant to eat on the private back courtyard, but alas, it was a cold week we chose to be in Phoenix! Google: "Sprouts," the organic food store nearby, for wonderful whole foods, if you like to cook. My husband has severe food allergies, so we appreciated the kitchen at this cottage. Make sure you check out the botanical gardens in the area: The Desert Botanical Garden, and the Lloyd Thompson Arboretum State Park. And of course the Heard Museum and the MIM (Musical Instruments Museum) were outstanding. We usually try to chose a place to stay that has a "sense of place" and some local character, verses just another cookie-cutter accommodation. This cottage was comfortable, very clean, and had some charm.
