1882 Carriage House In The Heart Of The City!

The Kirkwood Cottage carriage house is located 4 blocks off I-630 - just minutes from the VA Med Center, UAMS and Children's Hospitals, in the heart of the business, South Main (SoMa) and River Market districts.

The carriage house is a good choice for business travelers (in addition to fast WiFi, we have a wireless printer there as well), or couples who want a romantic getaway and it is perfect to accommodate your extended stay guests.

Stay a month or longer for just for half the normal night rate, or stay a week or more and save 10% off the daily rate. Pricing will depend upon length of stay.

We are pet friendly - we have a Yorkie named Bear, who will no doubt greet you when you enter the courtyard.

We have 6 wireless phone chargers. You might have to take your phone out of its case to charge. There is two in each bedroom and two in the living room.

We also have two Alexa dots - one downstairs by the sofa and one upstairs on the coffee station. To listen to your favorite music, just say something like: “Alexa, play classic Christmas music”. Or ask Alexa about what is the weather forecast or where the closest Mexican restaurant is. Just start out by saying “Alexa” and then what you want to know.

A private entrance through the brick courtyard (you will enter thru the privacy fence gate with digital code to enter), hand-scraped hickory floors in living room, painted wood floors upstairs and the original brick floors in entry and kitchen. Two gas log heaters, period light fixtures, and a wood-burning stove add to the historic nature of this upscale 1,470 square foot barn.

Updated features like fast WiFi and two flat panel SmartTV’s with Direct TV, HBO, free Netflix and Amazon Prime (pay-per-view is NOT included; if you choose to rent a movie, please leave payment for it), a large shower in the downstairs bathroom, another full bathroom upstairs, a full size washer and dryer, and quality mattresses in the two adjoining bedrooms ensure you the comfort you deserve.

The kitchen is furnished with a side by side refrigerator with ice maker, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, two coffee makers (12 cup and Keurig coffee maker) and self-cleaning oven. Dishes, silverware and utensils are included for your convenience, as well as thick, fluffy towels and linens. We have a second Keurig coffee maker upstairs on the coffee bar.

The enclosed courtyard has a small pond with waterfall and a gas grill, should you want to cook or entertain outdoors.

We also have a crib with changing attachment, children’s eating plates and utensils, a high chair to set on one of the dining chairs. We also have a pop up play pen in the upstairs walk in closet. Iron and ironing board is in that walk in closet too and extra blankets including baby blankets.

Automatic lighting means you never come home to a dark house.

The carriage house is located in the Governor's Mansion historic neighborhood and is great for walking or bike riding, with an active arts and entertainment district just 3 blocks away on South Main.

The River Market is quite close as well, with many restaurants, bars, shopping, and the Clinton Presidential Library. Walgreens, a grocery store and post office are just blocks away.

Two night minimum preferred but will accept single nights. Save 50% by booking a month or longer!

Owners live in the main house and is separated from the carriage house by a brick courtyard.

If you need something, call us, text us or just send us a message. We value our privacy and respect yours as well.

Everything was WONDERFUL! Donna even printed directions to our concert venue & left them on the table. The fenced courtyard was perfect for my pup! Most of all, the carriage house is absolutely charming and only a few blocks from a super cool shopping/restaurant district! Would definitely love a return visit!

Weekend trip

Adorable carriage house to stay while visiting LR. Was a fabulous location to walk to places, eat, and explore. All areas and home was very dog and kid friendly. We had everything we could need and even extra. The host was very accommodating making sure if anything was needed during our stay. Did I mention a private courtyard with a calming water feature? It was great to have with a toddler and dog and worry less. Would recommend!

Clean, Cozy and Comfortable!

During my two-month stay at Donna’s carriage house I came to regard it as home. Donna is a pleasant, welcoming and immediately responsive host. The neighborhood is wonderful, SOMA has everything you’d want—interesting shops, galleries, great restaurants, etc. The beautiful old houses gave my dog and me some very entertaining walks! Overall, I give my stay at the carriage house five enthusiastic stars!

Unique with history!

Donna is an amazing host! She thinks of everything and communication is top notch! She really cares that you are comfortable and she loves dogs so any furry family members are 100% welcome! The location and is nice and the courtyard is cute. The a/c are window units but it keeps the place cool! We were here in June in the 90’s and it was never too warm. The back bedroom may be a little warmer, we opted not to stay in that room so I can’t say for sure. I will say it’s authentic so there is cobble flooring with small lips. If you are not sure footed be aware you may have issues.
