Great stay in Joseph

We had a great weekend in Joseph. The house is in a perfect location for walking around town and close to restaurants. Super cozy and comfy beds, pillows, and linens. The locally made soap was nice too. We also enjoyed the record player and records, the creek, and the outdoor seating options. Will responded quickly to questions. We recommend this property and would stay again!

Enjoyed our stay.

Not as clean & tidy as last year when we stayed. Some of the kitchen handles were sticky, we found a dirty pair of socks under the couch, otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Plenty of towels, etc. Love the location within walking distance to main part of town.Thank you for allowing us to stay in your lovely home.

Great spot in the heart of Joseph

This house has a great location right on the main street in Joseph. It’s walking distance to the shopping, restaurants, and grocery store. It’s just a quick drive to multiple trailheads into the Eagle Cap Wilderness. The game room is great for the kids, the vinyl collection was fun for the adults, and the creek behind the place added some great ambiance all hours of the day.

Delightful stay in convenient lication

This property is in town and walkable to shops, restaurants, and museums. The setting is lovely with the river flowing by the backyard. The kitchen is well equipped, There’s room for visiting, relaxing, dining, watching TV, listening to albums, and playing board games. The beds and furniture are comfortable. There’s even a game room. And the backyard has a grill and that relaxing view of the river. There’s fishing close, as well as the tram to Mount Howard. This house and the area have something for everyone!

Home away from home

We stayed a few days and it felt like home. Play room was bonus for noisy kids to play, nice backyard but lawncare was a little behind, kitchen well supplied, only one small tv, beds were comfy, plenty of towels. Great location for walking around town.

Has charm but needs TLC

Home has great location but feels like you are staying in a fixer upper instead of a vacation get away. Doors don't close properly. Mismatched light bulbs. Had wasps getting in upstairs. BBQ was filthy. Several code issues with washer/dryer in basement. Sorry can't recommend.

Excellent location

Great stay at the White House. It's an excellent location, walking distance to food & shopping. The lake & hiking trails are within biking distance. Communication with the owner was quick & ready. Very clean home. Be sure to check out the owners store 2 blocks down the street. You'll fall in love with the soap & lotion.

Jem of a place!

This home was just so fun! The details of this home really surprised me. From the antiques, (brave to have in a rental),books and feel of homie surroundings. The view was awesome! The game room would have been fun with a larger group but, we'll be back to enjoy. Fully stocked kitchen was so appreciated. This home is quaint, and inspires a desire to just relax and take it all in.
