House with King and Queen beds! Garfield Cottage @LSU
Beinvenue and welcome to Garfield Cottage! This quaint house is located just steps from LSU campus and along the fast-developing Nicholson corridor. Located in a diverse neighborhood on a quiet little street, this spot is a prime location for all things LSU: Tiger stadium, Bernie Moore Track, and Alex Box stadium, but also near the Varsity Theater, Cane's River Center, popular Mid City restaurants and bars and easy access to the Mississippi River levee for running and cycling enthusiasts.
Neighborhood description: Garfield Cottage is located in the Nicholson Corridor neighborhood of old south Baton Rouge, less than half a mile from LSU campus through an historic oak tree-shaded neighborhood. The neighborhood is diverse and filled with historic cottages and single family homes along with some multifamily buildings interspersed throughout. Mature live oak trees drape over the home and streets to create a beautiful and shady space.
Garfield Cottage is located about a quarter of a mile from BREC’s Magnolia Mound Colonial House and museum, close in proximity to downtown Baton Rouge with the Canes River Center, old and new state capital museums, Children’s Arts and Science museum and Planetarium, downtown nightlife and restaurants, and the beautiful levee walk. Go a little further to Baton Rouge Mid City for a variety of restaurants, bars, and activities, including the Knock Knock Museum.
What you will LOVE about Garfield Cottage: Garfield Cottage is an older home- built around 100 years ago- and maintains much of its original charm: high ceilings, original hardwood floors, and raised pier foundation; it may not be suitable for children 2 and under and is not childproof. Having said that, Garfield Cottage boasts many modern features you've come to expect: central heating and air conditioning, ceiling fans in every room, a king and queen size bed with a new and comfortable mattresses and cozy bedding, a full size and fully functional kitchen, along with clothes washer and dryer machines. There are extra blankets and pillows available plus box fans for cooling and white noise. The patio is pleasant for gathering- the table seats 6+ and there is an umbrella to block the mid day sun. From outside, you can hear the campanile ring the hours and when in season, you can hear the sounds of the famed Golden Band from Tigerland practicing for halftime shows!
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony or patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a fenced private yard.

Great place to stay in Baton Rouge! The home was clean, comfortable, and located in a quiet neighborhood. It’s in a convenient location, close to downtown and LSU. We really enjoyed our stay and will book again on our next visit!

Our rating on the Garfield Cottage and Abby Netterville
The property was very nice, and we liked it a LOT.We would stay there again rather than a hotel. It was very homey and fit our needs just right.I don't know if we will ever bowl in Baton Rouge again, but if we do, we will absolutely try to rent the cottage for our stay again.It had everything we needed and fit our need very well.My contacts with the Property Manager Abby, was very important and I got all the answers from her that were needed. An A -PLUS rating for her!! Got to go.Dave Allen

Nice and Clean Cottage
This is a great little house. The neighbors seemed nice. Pros it was clean and convenient to LSU. Cons dogs barking all night, surrounding area questionable.
Very cute and cozy old house with clean and stocked bathroom and kitchen and comfy beds Easily parked 2 vehicles, one in driveway and one in front on street side. Surprisingly quiet. Very good communication with the host. Comfortable stay for 4 adults. Would be a little cramped with 6 adults. Would definitely stay again

Surroundings alarming
The house in itself is very basic as described. There are some things available to make you comfortable, such as, extra blankets, fans, dimmable lamps. There are some things that need repair that could be harmful to little ones. For the most part very clean, but a couple of items in the kitchen need attention. Liked that the house is very close to LSU, but that means it is a very undesirable neighborhood.

Clean place, rough neighborhood
House was fine. Would be careful if female or family. Watched 2 separate dog fights happen in front of the house. Just make sure to lock the doors.

Perrrfect!
This was a few blocks from my LSU student's apartment and perfect for our stay. A nicely stocked kitchen with coffee, creamer, spices and a stick of butter was very helpful, as I picked up groceries but forgot the butter! The beds were comfortable, and the neighborhood was fairly quiet. There is a lot of light that comes through the blinds at night, so if you are used to a dark room, you might want to bring a mask. The Garfield touches were delightful!! Overall, this was a charming cottage perfect for a couple of couples max. I hope to stay here next time we visit Baton Rouge!

Little Gem
This little house on a side street was perfect for our quick stay. It was VERY clean and had all the extras we needed.
It is in a great location close to LSU, the fields, the stadium and all the action.
Abby was extremely communicative, super friendly, and she responded quickly to all inquiries.
Would most definitely recommend this little gem!

LSU visit
Overall the stay was great. Location to LSU campus is like 5min away. The owner was so nice, accommodating, knowledgeable, and we stayed in constant communication. The home is very well kept and clean. It was perfect for our family of four. The owner provided essentials just in case and that was so thoughtful. The only issues we had was the on and off of the neighbors security lights. If you are a light sleeper this is very bothersome. Besides that I would recommend the stay here. We plan on returning.

LSU campus tour and game day
You can’t get any closer to being on LSU campus than this. So close to everything 5-10 min away. Easy safe walking distance to stadium on game day. The house has everything you could want clean, comfy beds, hot shower full kitchen and a washer dryer. Also Abbey is amazing she kept us up to date with everything from pre arrival instructions to events happening over the weekend. If my son chooses LSU I’ll be staying here quite a bit!!!

The property has easy access to LSU. It was private and nice.
My husband and I traveled to Baton Rouge for our daughter and son-in-law in LSU law school. It was first time visiting Baton Rouge and we had a wonderful time. The beds were very comfortable and was nice to have the kitchen with microwave.
