Emma’s Cottage on Madison Avenue
The original Emma’s Cottage on Martha Street was carefully restored, renovated, and decorated in loving memory of my grandmother, Ms. Emma L. Gould, who was simply known to me as Grandma. Every thought and detail was done with her in my mind. Her kind heart and hospitality is what made her so special. We decided as a family to take some of the stories she shared about her childhood and things she loved so much to restore and decorate Emma’s Cottage on Madison Avenue in her honor,
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Nice house.. I love the fact that Mrs Emma Gould memory is kept alive through this house. And the Black history through the furniture and pictures was a plus. The location was great and very close to the River Park and other Historical sites. I would only say add something under the claw tub to secure so it dont shift while using it and put curtains on back door. Thanks for making my first trip to Alabama a great experience.

Absolutely beautiful home in an exceptional location! The host Towanda was an absolute gem and made us feel so welcome and cared for. She was so communicative and understanding, it made our stay completely stress free. It was the perfect home base for OTS graduation, can’t wait to come back for Squadron Officer graduation in 6 years! Can’t recommend this spot enough :)
