The Guest House at Elon Cottage

Elon Cottage is a historic house located in the heart of Gibsonville [~1895], about two miles from Elon University. Our wooded lot with grassy glades is approximately 1.5 acres, yet located within two blocks of downtown Gibsonville. If you like dining, walk merely a block to Saint Jacques French Restaurant at the Burke Manor [4.5 stars], or four blocks to Kimber’s Steak House [4 stars].

Our Guest house is located behind the main house, away from the road, and has views typical of the North Carolina Midlands. It was remodeled in 2023, and has everything new on the inside – granite countertops, SS kitchen appliances, new paint, new bath fixtures, and new flooring, tile inclusive.

Beyond our really choice location, amenities include a full kitchen with equipment and utensils, washer and dryer, internet. We have nine fine hens too, so open the egg box and help yourself!

Southern hospitality at it’s best
The guest cottage was just as described and only surpassed by the warm southern hospitality of the owners. They made me feel right at home and were available anytime I needed anything. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a peaceful place to stay.

Run don’t walk to this wonderful guesthouse!!!!
My daughter and I stayed at this beautiful guest house for my sons graduation at Elon. The owners were super sweet and kind, even dropping us off for the graduation ceremony!!! It is minutes away from Elon University and I wish I knew about it four years sooner! We had a wonderful experience and I HIGHLY recommend this rental!!! No need to ever stay in a hotel when you visit your college student again!!!
