Historic French Cottage in Downtown Arcadia
A French country–style cottage nestled in the heart of downtown Arcadia, this charming retreat sits on the grounds of the John Lee & Mourning Jones House (b. 1893), a true historic landmark built by John Lee Jones, Arcadia’s first mayor and relative of General Robert E. Lee.
Whether you’re visiting for a quiet weekend getaway or discovering historic Arcadia, The Grotto Maisonnette offers a convenient stay, just steps from the charm of downtown Arcadia’s shops, restaurants, and local attractions.
Step inside your private suite, thoughtfully restored with a fully renovated kitchen, elegant bathroom, and a Queen bed on the main level. Upstairs, the cozy loft with a full-size futon provides extra space for families or small groups.
Enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine in the courtyard, surrounded by bistro lights and the warmth of a fireplace. The space also features an outdoor bar with a built-in cooler, ideal for small gatherings or simply relaxing under the stars.

We had freezing temperatures in Florida and when i found out this cottage does not have any heat I contacted the host and said we can't stay there with no heat and Pia assured me that an electric fire place was installed and there is a space heater, however the electric fire place does not heat the room and the space heater was miniature so we froze to death all night and were so miserable. Pia did refund us 100. but a full refund would have been more acceptable. Do not stay here when it's cold is all I can say. otherwise it's a cute place. Also you have to climb a latter to get up to a futon couch up in a loft area so just realize that's the second bed.
