Quiet, comfortable, and spacious historic home
The Newhouse Family Inn was a perfect place for our family of 6 to gather. We especially enjoyed the well stocked kitchen - coffee and bottled water were appreciated! Books, games, DVDs, robes and slippers were a nice added touch! Quick communication with the owner made the process easy. Thanks for a great stay!

Eliminate cross house access for security
Pretty good stay, would give higher rating if there where no locked doors in the bedrooms leading to other parts of the house. Who is gonna feel safe leaving children in bedrooms like that? These same rooms are great for adults though.

Precious attention to details
The hosts thought of everything to make this place special … bottled water, hand towels and slippers, tea and oatmeal, festive decorations everywhere, spices and kitchen extras, and sweet little homey touches throughout. The host was exceptionally kind. We will definitely seek his properties out for future stays to visit family!

Enjoyed Our Stay
The history behind the house is very unique and interesting. Slippers, robes, and bottled water were a very nice touch. As well as the games and books. We were in town for the basketball tournaments going on at the New Castle high school. The house is just a short drive and fit our needs perfectly.

Plenty of space
We were visiting my younger sister who just purchased a condo in New Castle so we wanted to stay nearby. My mom traveled with me and my two kids (5 and 13). The house was perfect as my mom had her own space and we could all spread out. Everything was well stocked and the kids loved the games. My mom enjoyed the bedroom with the attached bathroom. Definitely a perfect place for future visits and big enough to bring my husband and other sister along with too. Thank you!

Exceptionally charming home, so thoughtfully prepared!
My wife, teenage son, and I have visited many Vrbo properties, but this one stands out for its charm and the property manager's attention to detail. The photos of the interior don't do it justice; every room - including the kitchen - is filled with memorabilia that seems plucked from a movie set. (The difference is that these items are authentic rather than staged.) Additionally, the host's attention to detail is wonderful - there are instructions and courtesies everywhere, down to water bottles placed on both sides of every bed. We had a wonderful stay, and look forward to returning.

Relaxing
Finding the house was very simple. John met us at the door and gave us a tour of the home. He provided some history behind the house which was really neat. The beds were very comfortable. Not one of our group of 10 had any complaints about not being able to sleep. The kitchen is very well equipped. There were breakfast supplies provided which was very much appreciated. John made certain we had everything we needed. We had plenty of everything and did not require extras. We have rented homes previously from VRBO and none have been as nice as this one. This is the first time we did not have to clean the house upon arrival. We would like to thank John and Charolette for their wonderful hospitality. We will definitely rent this home the next time we visit my husband's family.

Family Visit
The property was nice and spacious. Check in and check out were easy and the host was great. Answered all questions. Coffee supplies and bottled water along with breakfast treats if so desired. The reasons I did not give the property a 5 for cleanliness is there was some leftover items in the fridge from previous guests. It needed to be wiped out as there were some crumbs and stuff. I also wiped down one of the sinks the mirrors as they had some leftover residue on them. Over all not bad but just needed some fine details cleaned up.

A beautiful relaxing spacious antique home that feels just like home when you walk in. The owners were wonderful to communicate with and had everything ready for us. The kitchen was Stocked well with dishes and pans and the coffee bar was a special treat! We came for a funeral and having a home for everyone in the family to enjoy was comforting.
