Other things to note
This one-of-a-kind 3/2 cottage has everything you need for your getaway—and personal design touches throughout. Owner lived in Africa for over twenty years and many of his design pieces are on display here. Hardwood and bamboo floors on first floor; new carpet in bedroom upstairs. Eco-friendly HVAC system. Master bath has 100-year-old Zanzibar a handpainted tiles in double shower and a Shona sculpture. Guest bathroom has Malawi hand-painted tile in the shower and a Malawi hand-painted vessel sink. Hand-carved Congo chest in family room. New Keurig coffee maker also available in the kitchen, along with new microwave - all you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay in the Decatur/Atlanta area.
We have granola bars and coffee/tea available for your breakfast. The kitchen is fully outfitted and available for your use. You might hear the faint whistle of a train going by late at night from the old Atlanta rail system — or a barred owl outside our window. Owners are both artists and enjoy the peace and serenity of this home. Some of Mark’s photos are on display throughout the home, and copies of Stacia’s novels are on the antique Dutch chest by the fireplace. You’re welcome to read any other book in our home, as well — we just ask that you leave it here when you depart!

About the host

Hosted by Mark Pelletier

Host profile image
I have lived and worked southern and eastern Africa and most of my adult life. Renovating and decorating this home has been an important part of that journey. My wife, a novelist, and I live in a small creekside cabin in the north Georgia mountain. We enjoy reading, hiking, good coffee, and spending time with family and friends. I am always available for questions and suggestions from guests.
