The Cottage at El Adobe
This Cottage is part of the original Adobe Apartments complex which is on the City of Scottsdale Historic Register. This is one of 6 building on the property made of adobe mud bricks 11 inches thick. This Cottage is a one bedroom, one bathroom free standing unit and is located in the back of the “U” shape of building and faces the courtyard garden, pergola, 1st Avenue and Indian School Road.
This Cottage is located in the middle of Old Town Scottsdale Art District and is only 7 blocks from Fashion Square and The Waterfront District. Only a ½ of a block to Main Street and the Thursday night Art Walk. One block to the Western Museum and the free city operated trolley shuttle. Scottsdale Center for the Preforming Arts is 6 blocks away. This Cottage has a single on premise parking place, however a car is not necessary to enjoy the destinations in Old Town all within walking distance. Easy to get to the Cottage by a shuttle from Sky Harbor Airport about 10 miles away

The Cottage has been totally remodeled and is fully furnished. Heating and air condition, the bedroom has two twin beds. Living/dining area equipped with 46” flat screen TV, and Wi-Fi connection and Netflix. Twin sofa bed in living room and plenty of storage. Fully equipped kitchen, including refrigerator, dishwasher, glass flat-top stove/oven, microwave, coffee-pot, toaster, cooking utensils, dishes, cups, glasses, silverware, and utensils. This Cottage is totally barrier free ( no steps, or anything to step over, everything is on one level) including the bathroom which has a walk-in shower and stacking washer/dryer with iron and ironing board and hair dryer.

This Cottage shares a beautiful view of the center courtyard desert landscaping garden and pergola with the 3 commercial tenants on the premise.

An ideal day would start with walking across the street for breakfast or brunch at Arcadia Farm or Panera Bread, or Starbucks, then a stroll down Main Street to admire the multitude of galleries including the Western artists, fine jewelry, painting and sculpting. For lunch the famous Thai restaurant Malee’s On Main, Grimaldy’s Pizzeria, or Frank and Lupe Mexican restaurant, and other eateries just around the corner.

Wonderful Hosts & Location!
Jimmy, his wife, & his son are wonderful hosts! I was greeted in the cottage with a gift & a bowl of fruit & treats. The cottage was well supplied with the essentials. The location is superb with nearby restaurants, the Museum of the West, & the every Thursday night Artwalks on Main Street.

Home away from home
This was the best VRBO experience we have ever had. We travel quite often and this place was the most comfortable and well appointed place we have ever stayed. If you need anything at all, it is somewhere in this place for you to use. We arrived to find a fridge stocked with bottled water, a bowl filled with fresh fruit and a plate full of cookies and treats. We felt comfortable the minute we met Jimmy and even more so once he showed us his beautiful cottage. The location is prime and the cottage was immaculate and perfect for us. We will definitely be back.

Our favorite winter vacation stay
We spend a couple of weeks every winter in Scottsdale to get warm, play golf, and enjoy the arts district. We found Jimmy and Adobecottage a couple of years ago and love the place. I can't say too much: quiet, his very pleasant garden to spend sunny afternoons for reading, visits with Jimmy, and more. We will likely return for many years to come.

Delightful cottage
This rental exceeded all expectations. The cottage was immaculate, had everything one could need, and was very comfortable. The patio in the courtyard was gorgeous, and the location was perfect for walking around old town Scottsdale. The host was available for questions, and parking was right outside the cottage. Our stay was delightful.

About the host

Hosted by Jimmy Eriksson

Host profile image
Grew up in Minnesota, but just too cold most of the year. I moved here with
my business in 1983 and love the sun.
Scottsdale is a great place and the Cottage at the Adobe is a wonderful place
to stay in Old Town very quite and secure.

Why they chose this property

The 6 building are made of Adobe mud 11 inches thick that were build in 1948 . They heat and cool easily. Total restoration on all 6 buildings over the last 22 years and now they are in excellent shape.

What makes this property unique

Located in the heart of Old Town, can walk to everything. Lots of visitors here looking at our courtyard garden everyday.
