The host was most accommodating and quick to respond. The house was decorated fabulously with up to date appliances and a 1913 feel. This was a beautiful home and a most wonderful stay!
This was a wonderful house for my family with two small children. Super cute house and very walkable to the restaurants on 4th street. A very easy bike ride or walk to McEuen park and the lake. My older kiddo (5) loved the sleeping nook and arcade, my littlest (16 months) was especially fond of the outdoor play kitchen. We brought along a baby gate as we noted the listing said there were steep stairs and it worked out great. My oldest has already requested we stay there again!
This place is super charming! A historic house with vintage and antique flair plus modern amenities, we thoroughly enjoyed every one of our 6 days here. Everything was pristinely clean and ready for us upon arrival, and we really did not want to leave.
Pros: walkable to bars/restaurants, shower pressure is fantastic, kid approved (8 and 11 yrs old), wolf range in the kitchen, comfortable seating, rocking chairs on the front porch (we sat there every night), arcade in basement, outlets and USBs everywhere for plenty of charging space, sleeping nook for kids was adorable. My 8 year old LOVED his hideout in there. Good kids books too. The pro list does not end.
Secret tip: games are in the lower cabinet in the dining room. Good games, too. Found those late in our stay but played them immediately. Forbidden Island FTW.
Diana, our host, was beyond helpful and responded within 5 minutes or sooner every time.
I have no cons, just notes for what renters can expect— the floors are creaky and squeaky and noise travels easily (didn’t take us long to get used to it). The stairs are short and steep (all part of the charm). BBQ is charcoal (stated in description we just didn’t pay attention).
10/10 would stay here again.
