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.

Perfect overnight stay

This is a beautiful cozy space, and we loved staying here! Donna was friendly and very communicative, and she makes her guests feel right at home! There are so many thoughtful touches throughout the home. I wish we could have stayed longer, but we would return in a second the next time we’re in Little Rock!

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.

What a wonderfully unique property! Donna is the hostess with the most! she has thought of everything! You will find her personable communications refreshing if you have been renting from big rental companies. And she won’t charge you extra if you’d like to check in early. Great location to downtown stuff.

Cozy and convenient

We enjoyed our three-day stay at the Carriage House. It is small but had everything we needed. We loved sitting outside in the courtyard. The gas fireplace downstairs was nice to have. There’s another one upstairs, but we just stayed downstairs. It’s a short drive or a long walk to the Clinton Library, and same for Little Rock Central High School. It’s a short walk to the South Main area that has restaurants and ice cream. Donna always responds quickly to messages and was friendly and helpful.

Everything You Could Need!

The carriage house is a delightful place to stay for your trip to Little Rock! Our host was quick to respond to inquiries, made check in and out a breeze, provided detailed instructions for wireless and television operation, and made sure we had everything we needed. She followed up by making sure that everything was in good working condition and asked if there was anything that could be improved upon. The carriage house is comfortable, charming and close to everything. It really does have everything you could need and more - even nightlights! The beds were comfortable. There is a double bed on the first floor located behind the couch on the first floor. Just a heads up, there are two bedrooms on the second floor, and you have to walk through the first bedroom to get to the one behind it. The bathroom for the second floor is located by the first bedroom, so whoever is staying in that back bedroom has to walk through the first bedroom to get there. I would most definitely stay at the carriage house again on future trips to Little Rock! It sure beats staying in a hotel and you can’t beat the price for having all the conveniences of home, an attentive host and the privacy of the fenced in courtyard - and let’s not forget unlimited Keurig coffee and tea pods! Thank you, Donna!
