The Library of Ivy and Ellie Downtown Greensboro Whole House
Discover a delightful escape at The Library of Ivy and Ellie, a lovingly restored 1949 cottage nestled in Greensboro’s charming Idlewood neighborhood. This curated short-term rental in Greensboro, NC, is a heartfelt tribute to my daughters, Ivy and Ellie—my proudest (and sassiest) creations. Whether you’re a creative soul, a traveler, or someone seeking a cozy haven for work or reflection, this eco-friendly cottage welcomes you with open arms. Think of it as staying with your coolest, most sustainable aunt—complete with a big Smart TV for movie nights and a vibe that’s equal parts whimsical and warm.
About Your Greensboro NC Short-Term Rental
This two-bedroom, one-bath treasure blends vintage charm with modern comforts, all tied together with a passion for green living. At The Library of Ivy and Ellie, we’re proud to support Greensboro’s local community—partnering with gems like Simply Organized and Clean for housekeeping, Go Forth Pest Control for eco-friendly pest solutions, and local shops like Red Collection and Reconsidered Goods for unique décor. It’s non-corporate, sustainable, and oh-so-Greensboro.
Main Features of This Cozy Cottage Rental in Greensboro, NC
Two Bedrooms: Drift off on queen-sized memory foam beds draped in 100% cotton linens, with pillow options aplenty, ceiling fans, closets, and lamps. No screens here—just sweet, uninterrupted dreams.
Bathroom: A tiled retreat with a shower (handheld sprayer included), tile floor, toilet, and sink—simple, stylish, and perfect for your shower serenades.
Kitchen: A fully renovated beauty featuring honeycomb tile floors and a backsplash handcrafted by Greensboro’s own TL Lineberry (yes, of Wristband fame!). Equipped with a Samsung stainless steel range, stainless Hisense fridge, stainless dishwasher, custom cabinets, and vintage glassware, it’s a chef’s dream with a nostalgic twist.
Living Space: The heart of this Greensboro short-term rental, boasting a big Smart TV (streaming only—no cable!) for cozy movie nights or binge-watching marathons. Pair it with the vintage Sony shelf system (Doppler adapter included) and dive into Ivy and Ellie’s CD collection—Wendover-approved tunes guaranteed!
Back Porch: A tiny covered porch at the backdoor painted by Ellie two years ago—a sweet splash of family creativity.
Backyard: Unfenced and open, with a seasonal garden shared across our four Wendover homes. Frolic sustainably and soak in the outdoor vibes!
Off-Street Parking: Pull up out back and step right into the kitchen. Moving truck? Park on Grayland St. and enjoy a quick yard stroll.
Laundry Access: A stacking washer and ventless dryer tucked in the hall closet—empty the condensation into the shower, clear the lint filter, and leave the washer door cracked to keep it fresh. Easy and breezy!
