One of Best

Came in for the weekend. The check in was super easy. Came inside and got settled. All three rooms had queen size beds. Im a big guy and need a big mattress. All three beds were super comfy. Rooms were adequate for what I needed. This place would have worked for me if I was here for a month or just a weekend. Awesome little cottage! I was really surprised at how everything was conveniently located to the cottage. The neighborhood was super quiet and relaxed. I would definitely stay here again in the future and recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Dropping off our Freshman

We had a great stay at Edinburgh cottage. We stayed while dropping off our daughter for her freshman year at LSU. It was conveniently located near campus and everything else we needed. We will definitely be staying again over the next 4 years. The house was great and quite cozy! The owners were great with communication and even left this Tiger mama with lots of tissues! We look forward to another stay here.

Beautiful Cottage For a Nice Getaway

This cottage was perfect for my family who were down in Baton Rouge for our son’s travel baseball game. The location is close to everything you could possibly need or want to do. I was impressed with the inside of this cottage. Very clean and well kept inside and out. The neighborhood is very quite and doesn’t have much traffic. If you’re ever in Baton Rouge and need a place to stay, give this place a try. You won’t be disappointed!!

Beware, maybe a scam

There were issues from the beginning. I felt like i was house sitting cats and raccoons. The house has a bad roach problem. And they are try to get more money after i hired a cleaning service. Please beware of this property.

Everything was great. We were only there for about 14 hours on a stopover from our drive back home. The property was as advertised and the hosts made check-in and check-out very easy. And the property was conveniently located in the city. The home was very clean and put together well. The only minor issue was that one of the comforters had a hole in it with stains. But all else was great for our stay.

The Perfect Cottage for Competition Weekend

We were in town for a dance competition weekend. The Edinburgh Cottage was absolutely perfect for our weekend stay and close to the venue. The check in and check out process was so simple and the yard was perfect when the girls finished their full day of dance and could run of that extra energy and get some sun.

Lovely stay!

This is the perfect place for a family vacation! The house was full of things that we needed upon arrival and we always felt safe. The owners were a text away if we ever needed anything. The beds were super comfy and there was the cutest raccoons that stayed near the house and always come out to greet you. If we ever come to Baton Rouge again, this would be our first pick at where to stay.

Cute house, attentive host, not set-up for long stay and needs a little attention

The house is cute, and the hosts were very attentive to my needs. The location is quite convenient, nearby Walmart and Sprouts. It was amazing to have a full size W/D at my disposal since I stayed in the house for the entire month of January. I love the fact that the host allowed me to bring my little dog so I didn’t have to be in an unfamiliar state alone and it was only a slight inconvenience that the large backyard was not fully fenced. The kitchen is well stocked with the things you would need to cook a meal and there were a few provisions to get me started - paper towels, and tissue in the bathroom. 2 suggestions: add a small dresser and and a vacuum. Having to live out of my suitcase because there are absolutely no drawers anywhere, was a bummer. Because I travel frequently for work and stay in rental units I think it’s only fair to mention a couple of things I struggled with… The sofa in the living room was dirty to the point that I put both a sheet and a blanket over it to feel comfortable sitting on it - only TV in the house is in living room. Although I am a cat lover, to walk in, and discover that I was expected to feed three cats each day was a little strange; some may find this charming. The frequent train whistle should be mentioned for anyone planning to work from the location. Kitchen faucet needs new gasket to keep water from running all over the beautiful wood countertops. Kitchen needs pest control services, not atypical for wet climates though.
