Beautiful and cozy

We had a range of ages staying, and everyone Very much enjoyed their stay! We explored the area and found fun things to do, but everyone's favorite was just hanging out in the house and playing games and being with each other. It's such a fun place to build memories!

Family gathering

The historical atmosphere was charming! The house was cozy, but definitely accomodating for our family. Three generations stayed for a wedding that took place down town. The house interior was spotless! The only downfall was how hot the upstairs was (about 90 degrees outside). However there were lots of fans available for our use.

Quiet oasis

This beautiful home has everything for a group to spread out or come together for a card game or meal. We were so impressed with the quiet street very close to the busy downtown area and loved the restaurants within walking distance. Very comfortable and the charming features make this a house worth bragging about! We will return

KC Getaway

Great house. We had 7 adults and 2 small children and had plenty of room. The parking was a little difficult but we were able to squeeze 4 vehicles in the allotted area. This is perfect for those who want to dine out as there is not much counter space or oven, but we made due.

Cozy & Cute

We were in town for a baseball tournament and wanted to be centrally located for the fields. This fit the bit, however when traveling with children I prefer to feel safe over a cute spot and that was lacking here. The back alley where you park felt on the verge of criminal activity with various people lingering. Unfortunately, during our stay there as street construction happening directly in front of the house that stated in the wee hours of the morning, not ideal but we also understand out of the owners hands. The historic home is beautiful and if you enjoy staying in an off the beaten path spot, this is it.
