Discover the New Longsteps Cottages at Hotel 1829 for Families and Friends

Traveling together is easier when everyone has room to breathe. A single hotel room can be charming, but families and groups of friends often need more space, more privacy, and a comfortable place to gather between outings. That is where the new Longsteps Cottages at Hotel 1829 shine.


The newest addition to Hotel 1829 includes two brand new, beautifully decorated cottages directly adjacent to the hotel. Guests can choose between a 1 bedroom cottage and a 2 bedroom cottage, depending on the size of the party and the kind of stay they want. Each cottage includes a kitchen, kitchen amenities like plates, silverware and pans, as well as a living room, televisions, air conditioning, and plenty of space to spread out.


For travelers who love the character of a hotel but want the ease of a private rental villa, Longsteps Cottages offer a flexible new way to stay.

A new way to stay beside Hotel 1829


The Longsteps Cottages are designed for guests who want the best of both worlds. They sit directly adjacent to Hotel 1829, so the hotel remains close by, with its front desk agents, concierge, houskeepers and full bar and restaurant (Lavalettes), while the cottage setting gives each group its own private space.


That setup can make a big difference during a shared trip. Mornings feel calmer when there is room for everyone to get ready. Evenings feel more relaxed when guests can gather in a living room instead of sitting on beds or meeting in a hallway. A kitchen adds even more ease, especially for longer stays or families traveling with children.


The cottages also give returning guests something new to enjoy. Hotel 1829 already has its own sense of place, and the Longsteps Cottages add another layer of comfort for travelers who want a more residential feel without being separated from the hotel experience.


Choose the cottage that fits your group


Not every trip needs the same layout. A couple may want extra space for a longer stay. A family may need separate sleeping areas. Friends traveling together may want the freedom to share common space while still having privacy.


Longsteps Cottages make that choice simple.


1 bedroom cottage

Best for groups of up to 4 guests who want extra room, or a small family that prefers a more open stay.

2 bedroom cottage

Best for families, friends, or groups of up to 7 guests who want more sleeping space and room to settle in comfortably.


The 1 bedroom option works well for guests who want a quieter, more spacious alternative to a standard room. The 2 bedroom cottage is a natural fit when the trip includes more people, more luggage, and more shared plans.


Travelers comparing cottages, villas, kitchenette options, and a two bedroom layout will appreciate that the Longsteps Cottages offer real living space with the convenience of the hotel close at hand. It also provides the security and convenience of the adjacent hotel, unlike your standard rental villa that may leaving you feel like you are stranded without any assistance or guidance.

Comforts that make travel feel easier


The appeal of Longsteps Cottages is not just that they are new. It is how they support the way people actually travel.


Each cottage includes the essentials that make a stay feel practical and comfortable:


  • A kitchen


Useful for morning coffee, snacks, simple meals, leftovers, and keeping drinks cold.


  • A living room


A real gathering space for planning the day, watching a show, playing cards, or relaxing after dinner.


  • Televisions


Helpful for quiet downtime, family movie nights, or keeping different schedules comfortable.


  • Air conditioning


A welcome comfort after a warm day out and about.


  • Space to spread out


Room for bags, beach gear, strollers, groceries, or anything else that tends to come with group travel.


These details may sound simple, but they are often what make a trip feel smooth. When guests have a kitchen and living room, the cottage becomes more than a place to sleep. It becomes a home base.


Why Longsteps Cottages work so well for families


Families often travel with more than just suitcases. There may be snacks, toys, extra clothes, chargers, books, and different sleep schedules. A cottage makes all of that easier to manage.


Parents can enjoy having a living room after children go to bed. A kitchen can make breakfast less rushed. Extra space means fewer piles of belongings in corners and fewer people stepping over each other.


The adjacent hotel setting also keeps the stay convenient. Guests can enjoy the privacy of the cottage while staying close to the atmosphere and access of Hotel 1829.


For families, that balance matters. A trip feels better when there is room for both togetherness and quiet time.




A beautiful option for longer stays


Longsteps Cottages are also a strong choice for guests who plan to stay more than a night or two. The longer the trip, the more valuable space becomes.


A kitchen helps reduce the need to eat every meal out. A living room gives the stay a daily rhythm. Air conditioning keeps the cottage comfortable between activities. Televisions offer easy downtime when the group wants a slow night in.


A beautifully decorated cottage also makes the stay feel more personal. Good design matters because guests spend real time in the space. A cottage that feels finished, warm, and cared for can turn ordinary travel moments into some of the best parts of the trip.

The takeaway for your next group trip


The new Longsteps Cottages at Hotel 1829 give families and friends a fresh, comfortable way to stay together. With a choice of 1 bedroom or 2 bedroom layouts, each cottage offers the practical comforts that make travel easier: a kitchen, living room, televisions, air conditioning, and space to settle in.


They are close to the hotel, but offer the privacy and flexibility of a cottage. That makes them a smart fit for shared trips, longer stays, and guests who want a little more room without losing the charm of Hotel 1829.


For your next family visit or getaway with friends, the Longsteps Cottages offer exactly what group travel often needs most: comfort, connection, and space to relax.
