Timeless Beauty: Historic MTR Cottage Garden, Seville Square Neighborhood

Welcome to the MTR Cottage and gardens, a historic and charming hideaway that's basically the best place to be in the Seville Historic District of Downtown Pensacola (we may be slightly biased). Experience the best of downtown living at MTR Cottage - we're within easy walking distance of all the top restaurants, shops, museums, art galleries, and parks - close enough to the happenings for convenience but far enough away for a much-needed respite. Plus, quick and convenient access to the beach. Feeling outdoorsy? Step onto the back porch and courtyard. Surrounded by a small orchard of orange trees and a serene fountain, you'll feel like you're a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The place is in honor of Mary Turner Rule, a remarkable leader, visionary and local preservationist.

We are committed to offering a private experience for guests. You get the whole cottage and yard to yourself, with no one else to cramp your style. You'll be just a quick stroll from Seville Square, museums, parks, and breweries, but if you'd rather kick back at home, the back porch is perfect for outdoor dining and enjoying the view of the courtyard and fountain. The cottage gardens provide a tranquil oasis for weary travelers to relax, recharge, and replenish. It's the best of both worlds - close to all the hot spots in town, but also a peaceful hideaway.

The cottage has a simple, graceful design, with all the comforts you need for a restful stay. It's ideal for executives, professionals, and wedding-related stays, providing a luxurious "getting ready" space for bridal parties. A private bedroom separate from the living spaces makes the house a great place to entertain company.

Extended stay travelers! You're in luck because we've got some special deals just for you. We want you to feel right at home, so we're offering discounted rates to make your trip more affordable. Don't be shy, stay a while!

Stay at the MTR Cottage, and experience the history and charm of downtown Pensacola for yourself.

NEIGHBORHOOD:

We are located in the vibrant and historic neighborhood of Seville Square, located in the heart of Downtown Pensacola. This lively area is home to a variety of events, including the Greater Gulfcoast Arts Festival, the Pensacola Jazz Fest, and the Pensacola Seafood Festival, drawing thousands of visitors each year.

But Seville Square is more than just a place for festivals and events. Located just steps from museums, parks, dining, breweries, and retail, there's always something to do in this neighborhood. And with its convenient location just 8 miles north of Pensacola Beach and a short drive to Bruce Beach on Pensacola Bay, you'll have easy access to all the best that the area has to offer.

As a history buff, you'll love the rich history of this neighborhood. Seville Square was originally an 1752 outpost known as San Miguel, and when the British took control of Pensacola, it was laid out as a public square by Elias Dunford in 1764. When the Spanish regained control in 1813, it was designated a public plaza and named for Seville, Spain. Today, the Seville Square Historic District spans more than 100 acres in the urban core of downtown, with a mix of housing types and a focus on beauty and a sense of place.

So if you're looking for a short term cottage rental in a vibrant and historic neighborhood with plenty to see and do, look no further than Seville Square.

Guest have use of the entire cottage, garden and courtyard.

TRANSIT:

If you feel like stretching your legs, MTR Cottage is in a neighborhood where you can walk to all the hot spots. But if you're feeling wild, there are all sorts of rentals available, like bikes (including e-bikes and e-scooters) and Segways to add some excitement to your travels. Or, if you're feeling daring, you can try out the less-than-user-friendly public buses. Or you can always just call an Uber or Lyft and let someone else do the driving.
