    This is a great house. Historical, distinctive, clean, and decorated exquisitely for the holidays, this unique house was suprisingly quiet for being near a street. The bedrooms were large and hang-out areas were all over: multiple sitting rooms, a balcony, and a wrap-around porch. The robes were a nice touch as well. The place is easy to find (you can't miss it) and is convenently located right on a bus line. Thanks for a comfortable, fun stay!

    This was a wonderful place to stay for our son’s CU graduation. There were 6 of us total. The house is wonderfully decorated with the most beautiful flower arrangements and other special touches (too many to list). The hosts were so helpful and responsive. This was a top notch property! We loved it!
