Privacy & Atmosphere

You have the entire 403 side of the duplex to yourself. As this is a classic twin cottage, you share a common wall with an adjoining unit; while we’ve prioritized privacy, you may occasionally hear normal household sounds from your neighbors.

Our location is unbeatable for those wanting to be steps from downtown. Because we are in a vibrant urban area, you will experience city sounds—including typical traffic, weekend foot traffic, and the occasional siren. To ensure a restful stay, we provide a white noise machine and complimentary earplugs.

The Legacy of Compassion
While this home was built in 1932, its story began during the Civil War. Mary Dill was the daughter of Judge Isaiah Dill. When Mary fell gravely ill as a child, Union soldiers stationed in Old Town guarded her gate for quiet and shared their rations to make her warm chicken broth to help her recover. Mary grew up to be a teacher and eventually built this very home. In honor of her legacy, we ask guests to observe quiet hours from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM to maintain the peace she so cherished.
