The sofa bed in the open bedroom can be converted into two twins or a king size bed. Please see more info below.

The Do Better Cottage is owned by the New River Historical Society and holds a storied past intricately linked to the story of the area and it’s prominent citizens. The house is thought to have been built in 1849 which is where historical records first indicate someone living on the property. The cottage, locally known as the “Do Better Cottage” may have gotten it’s name during this time. When it was built, it was only a small two room cottage and the name may have been since the couple who built it were to live there until they could “do better” for themselves.
The front of the home will be used for archival purposes as a part of the Wildness Road Museum which is across the street from the home. Additionally, the home will be used for various events associated with the Museum.
