Newly restored 1910 Dogtrot 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 kitchen was originally in a separate building apart from the house. But when the owners added plumbing around the middle of last century, a bathroom, kitchen, and laundry room were added to the original house. The home sits on 1 acre of land with plenty of room for parking cars, ATVs, boats, etc. You'll get views of the Ozark Mountains from almost every window. Two screened in porches and a large covered front porch makes it ideal for outdoor enjoyment.

While in Shirley, enjoy hiking, antiquing, ATV riding, kayaking and swimming/fishing.

There are two security cameras on the shed. One faces the carport and the other faces the side yard.

Amazing weekend at this historic homestead
My family stayed here for my birthday (because my hubs is awesome) and we highly enjoyed ourselves. Its obvious someone restored this place with care and put effort into making it nice for renters. There is a ton of history in the decorations and articles about the house. The setting is gorgeous, the home super clean. We loved it and will 100% stay again.

Enjoyed visiting with my brother and his wife. They are owners of the Red Rooster Vintage Store in downtown Shirley. Very quiet neighborhood! Hope to visit and stay here again. We left a small make up bag that we would like back.

Relaxing, Beautiful Home with History
Our stay in Shirley, Arkansas at the Cottrell home was a great experience. We were traveling with our dog and the large yard was perfect for him to run and explore. There are not many restaurants close, we cooked most meals in the large kitchen. The kitchen had all of the kitchen items to prepare a meal. There are three porches, two are screened in and the beautiful covered front porch. We enjoyed sitting on the porches reading and relaxing. We both felt like we were living in a time of the past when life was slow and you can just sit and enjoy the view. There are many trips you can take from Shirley, we visted Mountain View for the day and visited the Blanchard Springs Caverns and trails. Thete is a beautiful waterfall there to see. I would definitely recommed this home it was amazing. We will definitely return to stay again.
