Drees Haus is a charming home on the historic district walking tour of Oldenburg, a German-Catholic village in southeastern Indiana. Located on a quiet street with ample street parking, this brick cottage home, built in 1870, is an example of the town's late 19th century architectural style. Easy walking distance to restaurants, shops, grocery store, and the Catholic church.
On the ground floor the living room, kitchen, and bedroom have high ceilings, comfortable furniture, and shuttered windows for privacy. The kitchen is well stocked with a coffeemaker, tea, coffee, condiments, and staples. Enjoy the view of the garden from the kitchen, or take your coffee out to the covered patio, enhanced by the lighting and ceiling fans. A smart TV in the living room, Bluetooth, fiber-optic internet, and WiFi keep you connected. (Note: While Oldenburg generally has excellent cell coverage, ATT and T-Mobile phones are not supported.) The queen bed has, we're told, the most comfortable mattress ever. The full bathroom features a walk-in shower.
Climbing the stairs to the second floor will reward you with a cozy sitting room with games and puzzles, and a bedroom with full bed. The space is heated and cooled with a mini-split There's also a freestanding electric fireplace to add to the ambiance in the winter.
Relax outside on the covered patio, equipped with ceiling fans and lighting. Enjoy playing with your kids at the adjacent town park, or walk one or two blocks to restaurants, pubs, grocery, historic Sisters of St Francis convent, Holy Family church, antiques and walking trails.
Guests have access to the entire house with the exception of the unfinished basement. This includes two bedrooms, a full bath with walk-in shower, kitchen, living room and sitting room. A small porch off the kitchen overlooks the garden and the neighboring park.
Because VRBO does not have a maximum stay limit, and doesn't automatically charge tax for stays longer than 28 days, we no longer offer a length-of-stay discount for instant book. Please message us for details on weekly and monthly discounts.
Note that the house is not handicap accessible. There is an exterior stairway off the kitchen and two steps on the front stoop.

    Really enjoyed my stay at the Drees Haus!! The home is beautifully decorated and had everything I needed. The pictures do not give it justice. The home was very clean and quiet. Easy check in and check out. The owners were very responsive and kind when I reached out with a question. Highly recommend. Thanks so much!

    This is our 3rd straight year to stay here. We love this place, it’s quiet, Ruthie is great to work with and her place is just right for us. The little town of Oldenburg is quiet and has a neat little pub with the best breaded tenderloin sandwiches. I would highly recommend this VRBO for your stay.

    The house was perfect. The yard was beautifully landscaped and well taken care of. We enjoyed playing cards and sharing a bottle of wine on the covered patio. Oldenburg was a very clean and safe town. You can tell people take pride in their homes and community. We will definitely return.

    Since I was born I have been coming to Oldenburg several times a year to visit my family that owns the house on top of the village... but we've outgrown my grandfather's house so we booked this amazing place! We will be back year after year!!

    This house was cozy and clean and we love the way it combined a charming older style with all the modern updates like Wi-Fi and television and Outlets with USB ports to make it a very great stay. Ruthie was an excellent host, checking with us frequently to make sure everything was okay.

    Drees Haus is a charming house in Oldenburg. We loved the layout of the house and the historic pieces of furniture and pictures on the walls. We walked to the grocery for a few items we needed for breakfast and snacks. We walked to dinner at Brau Haus on Saturday night and the town was bustling. Church bells were ringing throughout the day which I loved! We were a short distance from Metamora and rented e-bikes for the day. We came back to our charming house and relaxed and watched a movie. I would highly recommend staying at Drees Haus for a relaxing get away.

    One of if not best VRBO property we have ever rented. Recommend taking hike/walk at nearby Whitewater River & Canal Historic Site in Metamora, IN. Strongly recommend this historic home in historic city of Oldenburg, IN. Thanks, Terry & Theresa.
