The cottage at Fourth and Elm

The Cottage at Fourth and Elm is located in the historic district of Downtown Washington only four short blocks from the AmTrak Train Station and walking distance to many shops, bars, and restaurants. The home was built around 1860. The first floor consists of a spacious living room addition built in 1925 with a fireplace and cable TV, a half bath, a full service kitchen with a breakfast nook, and dining room that seats up to eight people. The second level consists of three large bedrooms and two full bathrooms. There is also a stair lift for those needing assistance getting up and down the stairs. The home has original woodworking and spacious 12-foot ceilings throughout. The home also has a large screened in porch and a two-car covered carport. It’s a great setup for outdoor activities.

This home comfortably sleeps 6 with one king and two queen-size beds in the bedrooms.

Birthday Celebration
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. We had an amazing time. The house is more than stocked with whatever you need. The hosts responded promptly with any questions. The beds were very comfortable and the house was very clean and decorated for Christmas. We loved it. Our daughter has MS so the stair climber was such a blessing as she has a hard time with stairs. Thank you so much!

The house was simply beautiful. It was a plus having the chair loft for our coach to get up and down stairs. If pur group stays small for our next competition in the area we will definitely book again.

Charming Cottage
Our family stayed in this charming cottage while in town for a family wedding. It was comfortable and felt like a home away from home. They’re was also a Fall Festival going on so we were welcomed by live music, fantastic food and people.

Girls Weekend!
A great house, very well kept, and updated. Very impressed with the cleanliness! Tripped a breaker when a hair dryer and the window units upstairs were running, so ventured downstairs to fix - even the basement was clean, based on the age of the house! Located across the street is a lunch/brunch shop and a great patio for live music at the Swallows Nest. Fantastic location to all the downtown shops and eateries! Would recommend and plan to stay again! Thank you for a great place for our long weekend!

Best Place To Stay!
We stayed for an entire month, Debbie and her husband were both gracious host. They made sure we were taken care of and went above and beyond go meet our needs. The house is beautiful and everyone who visited us made comments on how nice the place was. We had a graduation in St. Louis and the house accomadated all our guests and conveniently located for St. Louis activities. It's literally in downtown Washington which is wonderful place, a short walk to the river, restaurants and nightlife. Would definitely stay here again!
