About this space
Hi! Our home is pet friendly with a one time pet fee of $50.00. Our cozy home is located in the heart of Harrisburg, which is know as the Gateway to the Shawnee National Forest. The home is within walking distance of some very nice downtown shops and restaurants. The Tunnel Hill Bike Path is only one block away, and the beautiful Garden of the Gods is a scenic 22 mile drive away. Come put your feet up on our screened in porch and watch the squirrels play!
The space:
This home is over 100 years old. You can expect high ceilings, and original wood accents. It is very cozy and welcoming to families. With an older home, please also expect old pipes and things like that.
Guest access:
Local restaurants and shops can easily be reached on foot. There is a bike path only a block away. Grocery and other stores having anything you may need are only a short drive away.

The yard and porches were so nice. Love the antique feel about it. Location so close to everything we needed. House was stocked with cooking seasoning and coffee, as well as snacks.

Excellent communication from Michael, answers questions promptly. The house has everything we needed and was a great location to swing from to see Garden of the Gods and Shawnee National Forest. Would definitely recommend in the area, and allowed pets. THANK YOU!

Nice older home with a beautiful backyard to sit in and visit. Comfortable to relax and an excellent collection of vinyl music to listen to. Will take this house over a hotel anytime. The atmosphere and the ability to visit at your leisure is well worth the price.

This is a huge home with plenty of space! We loved the fenced in backyard for our poodle. This home has a lot of character and felt cozy. Nice stay, close to everything.

The house has lots of room to spread out or gather together with one another. We enjoyed watching a movie on the giant TV and the sun room and screened porch were my favorite.

Charming older home with plenty of room! The purpose of our trip was to hike in the Shawnee National Forest, and the house was conveniently located to all that we wanted to do. The house is very close to town (within walking distance), but we did not do much there except for having breakfast at the Steam Cafe, which I highly recommend!
