We enjoyed our stay at this historic home for the holiday weekend. A charming home and neighborhood to walk around. A bonus was we were able to have our dog with us. Charles was great with communication. We have stayed in historic homes & hotels so we know that means not everything may be shiny & new-which we are fine with. The woodwork and charm of home make up for it. But I think some people may not understand that based on some of the property reviews. We loved having the dining room area as friends joined us for dinner two nights. My only suggestion is to have some comfy throw blankets for the living room. It was a bit chilly while there and that would have been nice. Oh and do be sure to understand no washer/drier on the property but there is a laundry service if needed. We didn’t for such a short trip. But we would definitely stay again-loved sitting on the front porch with coffee and a book looking out at the garden and with wine in evening. Very relaxing! I have a 4 star for cleanliness because discovered popcorn mess under the couch in living room-I investigated because our dog went right to it when we arrived. But I’m sure Charles will be speaking with his cleaning service. He was very apologetic. Everything else seemed clean & in order!
It was perfect for our group. We loved the house and the neighborhood!
The house was large and great for our family and the adjoining cottage was a perfect addition. Charles, our host, was really helpful, super responsive and very gracious. Super place to stay!
Great location great host highly recommend
Arriving around midnight, the front porch lighting was, in our opinion, woefully inadequate. There were loose extension cords, one under the front door mat. Many etension cords ran along baseboards. The upstairs shower floor was very slippery and downstairs shower curtain didn't enclose the tub. We were quite disappointed.
We chose this house for a family reunion and 10 of us stayed. Mostly clean and relaxing The rooms were roomy and accommodated all of our group. We had 10 stay and were able to gather around the dinner table and outside. There were many chairs and outdoor furniture. The house is on a main street, but when sitting in the yard with the large trees it's pleasant and you don't notice the traffic. The kitchen was big and plenty of room for fixing big meals and gathering. We could have used more wash cloths, plug-ins, a night light in the upstairs hall, a grab bar in the main downstairs bath, batteries were low or not working on some of the remotes. It was a great neighborhood for walking, shopping was close, and easy to access freeways and get to our family reunion events. It was a nice visit and I'd consider renting again from this host if needing room for a large group.
Beautiful and interesting house and garden. The photos online dont do justice, it's even better in person!
The home was exactly as described and the host was warm, friendly, and helpful. Would definitely stay here again!
We used this house to stay near our wedding venue and it was perfect. This is a beautiful house with lots of room, detail, and character. Charles was very responsive to our questions. We enjoyed our stay immensely and would book again.
I’m from out of state and we were looking to hold a Celebration of Life for my mom in California. I didn’t want it at a funeral home or banquet hall so I thought I could book a VRBO. And we were so fortunate to find this wonderful house that could house the the out of town guests and provide ample room for 50 people who attended the event. The setting is a beautiful garden where we had dining tables, dessert tables, and sign in table. There is also plenty of street parking. This would be a wonderful space for a small wedding, bridal shower, or any event where you would like a beautiful natural setting. Thank you so much for allowing us to honor our mom in your beautiful home and garden.
Charming home lots of character great neighborhood wonderful host
Charles was very communicative throughout the process: questions on booking, questions after booking, questions during my stay-he contacted me all throughout. He was very helpful and generous for my 50th birthday stay. I cannot thank him enough, the property was clean, spacious and had all the amenities to not have to go while cooking nightly. Thank you so much Charles, I will not hesitate to stay again if the opportunity arises!
