The house is just as it is pictured, very clean and centrally located. Contacted our host several times. She was quick to respond and very helpful. She also called the day before our arrival to make sure we would receive the entry number. I, and my friends, highly recommend this place.

Excellent accommodations with comfy beds, plenty of space for 7 adults to gather or have their own spaces. The pool table was a real winner and provided loads of fun and entertainment! We were impressed with the cleanliness, excellent condition of the vintage house, and all it had to offer. The home provided an added bonus to our overall experience! Highly recommended. The hosts were great communicators as well. Bravo!

Family 4th of July Weekend

My wife and I were able to host all 5 of our adult children and 2 spouses for a family gathering. Awesome house. Massive dining room table seemed to always have someone at it eating or playing games. The billiard room was a big hit as well. We even played a murder mystery game set in a mansion. Excellent host and property was very clean.

Perfect pairing of history and fun!

This 1895 historic inn blended vintage with modern convenience perfectly! Everything was well maintained, clean and inviting. Location was perfect for those that wanted to explore downtown and Canal Park without being right in the thick of it, as well as for those that wanted quick access to travel farther up the north shore. With 5 bedrooms and 5 baths it accommodated the four couples in our group easily, and having the rest of the house to ourselves was so much more intimate than staying in a hotel. Our hosts were welcoming, accommodating and responsive. We would highly recommend the Inn to anyone looking for a fun place to gather with a larger group.

We were all visiting for a family wedding. Played games, cards and saw a beautiful city. Would have been fun to find a Ouija board in the game cupboard.

Hallmark Christmas

This home has so much history and charm. We stayed in December and it was decorated ever so great with a traditional holiday vibe. We celebrated our annual family girls and kids getaway 7 adults and 6 littles. The children loved the space to play, make gingerbread cookies, play games and just make many memories. It is a short walk to the lake and we were blessed with unusually warm weather, so it made it possible for a great photo opportunity. This house was described as a scene out of a Hallmark movie by all who joined. The pictures don’t do this gem justice. Highly recommended for anyone with an appreciation for tradition, beauty, and history.

Great Multi-Family House

We had 2 families for an out-of-town wedding. The house was perfect! The front porch and pool table were put to good use as were the 5 bathrooms for 9 adults getting ready almost simultaneously. Great kitchen and dining area too. The location can’t be beat- central to everything and quiet. Note that the house is not suitable for anyone with restricted mobility- must climb steps to get inside and no bedrooms on the ground level. This is all well described in the listing, but wanted to mention here. Highly recommend!

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! The house was stunning, clean and it was so much fun to walk around and see all the little details. Gina was a great to work with.
