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 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!

Charming and great location
Great location to restaurants in downtown Little Rock. Being pet friendly was a huge plus! Space for our small dog to walk and potty. Older home with historic charm. The 2 upstairs beds require you to walk through one to get to the other which worked out for our toddler but might be awkward for other guests. Great communication with owner and easy checkin and access etc.

This carriage house was charming and cozy. The courtyard flowers were in bloom for spring, and we enjoyed our al fresco breakfast, from a local bakery two blocks away in the heart of SoMa Little Rock.

Fabulous Vintage cottage that feels like home
Everything about this location deserves more than five stars! This area of Little Rock is enchanting and full of culture and character. From the moment we turned on the street to the time we layes down for bed, we felt comfortable and at ease. The courtyard heading into the cottage is beautiful and private. The cottage itself is loaded with charm and small details that make you feel cared for and right at home. Donna was super helpful and attentive without being intrusive. We even met her sweet as pie little pup Bear that my 3 year old little girl loved! Our only regret is that we weren’t staying longer. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us!
