Quaint and Quirky - Must Love Trains
Dean and Joyce have spared nothing providing a great themed home with every comfort provided. Built circa 1889, and lovingly restored, this is a step back in time to when phones were something hung on a wall, and a chat meant sitting on the porch actually conversing. ... you can do that here! Be aware the house is on the rail line but you honestly get used to them and we barely noticed... they added to the charm.Awesome hosts, fabtastic property.

Incredibly inexpensive VRBO option
We had a great stay. The location/neighborhood seemed a little “suspect” but it was actually just fine.While out throwing bags one of the neighbors struck up a pleasant conversation with my son and the dog next door never made a noise.It’s definitely a 19th Century home and doesn’t offer the same modern amenities as a new location will but the price aptly reflects that.If I had one concern or ask it would be to somehow mount the shower head in the upstairs bathroom.Great location and great hosts! Thanks Deano

Cute house next to active railroad
This house has a lot to like. It is older but well maintained. House is cute. Check in and check out were very easy. It is in a good location, which is drivable to many places. Communication with the hosts went very well.I left five stars because the house was great and they can’t control the train across the street. They are honest about it being an active railroad. I looked at the reviews and most didn’t even mention the trains. The ones that did said that after a while, they didn’t even notice them. The trains aren’t very loud, but their whistles are, especially at 2:50 in the morning. Some nights there wasn’t much train traffic, but on others it was pretty consistent. The whistles are loud because the house is 196 feet away from a railroad crossing and the trains have to blow their whistles for the crossing. Each night we were there there was at least one train at 1 AM and another train at 5 a.m., sometimes more butnever less. Obviously the host can’t control that and they did say it was an active railroad so I’m not holding that against them, but folks should know that for when they book this property. If you are a heavy sleeper, that is used to lots of noise it may not bother you, but if you are expecting relative quiet or are a light sleeper, this may give you problems. Again, no complaints about the house, it’s distance to attractions, or the hosts. They were all great.

Mother's Day weekend getaway
This house was very accommodating for my family and so wonderfully pieced together! The house was absolutely comfortable and we felt right at home. Thank you so much for letting us stay at your house!

Charming old house with train theme
Everything was super smooth and easy from check in to check out. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, pots, pans, coffee, and assorted snacks.
We enjoyed our stay very much. It is in a very convenient location to everywhere we wanted to go.
One drawback to an old house, though, is that the A/C was super cool downstairs while the upstairs remained a bit too warm on a couple of the warmest days. Most of the time, though, it was my a tolerable temperature.
Would definitely stay again!

Train themed house next to the train
The historical house is train themed, has a bedroom full of train pictures and models, and another room with old train magazines. If you have young boys or are a train enthusiast, this is the house for you.
It right across the street from active train tracks, and there are multiple trains per night, which can make it hard to sleep. The bathrooms are smaller, as expected for a house of that era.
The kitchen was stocked with milk, cereal, and other breakfast foods, which was appreciated. The owner was friendly and available if we needed anything.

Fun and charming
We enjoyed this location. The host was great and the house was so well organized. They even put labels on the cupboards so you didn’t have to randomly open to find items.
The trains were a bit loud for some of the family but I didn’t mind. The charm of the place made up for the trains.
