About this property

The Cottage on College Street

The Cottage is very cozy and spacious with 690 sq feet to spread out in; it is decorated with a mixture of vintage and industrial decor. Visitors will have complete privacy within the house at all times, but with our home close by, we are always happy to help should you need anything!

We are located in Downton Brandon in the Historic District. The Cottage is a guest house seated behind our home; it is a very quiet place, and it is great for working individuals, couples seeking a fun concert experience, or families participating in ball tournaments. We are approximately 10 miles from Jackson, so staying here is very convenient as well as very safe.

The house has been completely updated to include a bathroom (which also has one step up) with double vanities, a walk-in shower that includes a shaving ledge, and a washer/ dryer unit. There is a full kitchen that is well supplied for those that want to prepare meals and a bar top that accommodates 4 people. The bedroom is it's own room with closing doors for privacy; there are 2 steps going down into the bedroom. In the living room, we have a sleeper sofa along with a large 50" TV with an Amazon Fire Stick, use of our YouTube TV account (in lieu of cable), and even many DVDs to choose from if you want to go Old School! We provide all paper products, shower products and all linens. We even provide niceties such as some bottled water, coffee for the Keurig, snacks, and other small things to make it feel welcoming. We also have a small patio table outside with a wood burning fire pit for your use when the time comes.

Cute, clean and comfortable

We were in town for Easter weekend to visit family and needed a quiet place to get away from the hustle and bustle. The cottage was perfect for the two of us and our two pups. Highly recommend and we would definitely stay here again.

Great place to stay!

The cottage was absolutely perfect for us to stop on our way to our daughterā€™s house in Louisiana. Everything was clean and the owners go WAY above your average VRBO stay. We will definitely be back. The town is great and has lots of places to eat and be entertained. Highly recommended.

Quick stay

We just had a quick stay while we were passing through for the Jackson Rodeo so we were only there long enough to sleep but we had no issues while we were there. Location was perfect and seemed to be in a safe part of town. We went to the local pizza joint for dinner in downtown Brandon and we really enjoyed it.

Great property and owners will stay again.

My wife and I were traveling from East Texas to our grandson's graduation in Charlottesville, VA. We were running late and did not arrive until 10. The check in was seamless and the property description was very accurate. Worked well traveling with our doodle. Property was clean and had lots of perks like, coffee, breakfast muffins and some candy. Cute little town and the house was located in a great residential neighborhood. I encourage you to book this property on your travels.

About the host

Hosted by Monica or Steven Corley

Host profile image
Steve and I have been married since 2010, and he is a soldier and Iā€™m a retired educator. I grew up here in Brandon, and we are an integral part of our community. We have always opened our home to traveling soldiers so now we are expanding that to others.

Why they chose this property

This property is very cozy, spacious, and quiet and allows super easy access to everything you need. It is positioned behind our home in the historic district in Downtown Brandon ,and it is in a lovely area that is very safe. It is approximately 10 miles from Jackson so you have complete convenience if traveling into the city for work without the safety concerns. The Cottage is fully updated and allows for complete privacy. It includes a bedroom, fully functioning kitchen, living area with a queen sleeper sofa, and a huge TV, internet and YouTube TV , and a bathroom that has double vanities, a walk in shower with a shaving ledge, and a washer dryer combo. It is much more comfortable than a hotel, close to the airport and the interstate, the Amphitheater, the parks where ball tournaments are played, shopping, restaurants, etc.

What makes this property unique

Our guest house is larger in size than others in town, so the renter is able to feel at home here instead of being cramped up. It is much nicer than being in a hotel with such a personal touch to it!
