The Cottrell Cottage
Built around 1910, you’ll go back in time when you step foot in this newly restored Dogtrot Cottage. Sitting on top of a mountain in Shirley, this is one of the few dogtrots still standing in Arkansas. The house was originally designed with open-ended passage that runs through the center of a house, flanked by two enclosed living spaces. The living room has been restored to how it would have looked in the early 1900’s. Each room in the house is themed for a different decade. The home sits on 1 acre of land with plenty of room for parking cars, ATVs, boats, etc. Two screened in porches and a large covered front porch makes it ideal for outdoor enjoyment. For an additional $35 fee, you can have private access to our riverfront land on the Middle Fork of the Little Red River about a 3.5 mile drive from the house.

This place was absolutely beautiful. From what the house looks like outside to what the house looks like inside you can tell that they put a lot of thought and... read more love in decorating the inside of the house. It was cute and informational with The history of the house on a wall to the trains that used to be going through the town on a wall. She was very quick and responsive when communicating with her. It was overall an absolute wonderful experience when I think of a perfect Airbnb this is what I think of. We felt right at home. I would definitely 10 out of 10 recommend this cute little cottage

We loved our stay! Our book club went for a reading retreat, and we had a great time. There are plenty of areas to sit and read, although we ended... read more up doing more talking than reading. Emily and Jeremy worked with our schedule and were super accommodating. They also texted to let us know about some severe weather in the area. This was my second trip to Cottrell Cottage and I will be back again!
