Lovely and truly unique
We went for a staycation for my daughter’s birthday. The staff was amazing and went above and beyond. It is a vintage space so no place for chargers per se and in winter it’s a bit cold - but they have plenty of outlets and additional heaters and the staff goes above and beyond throughout the entire stay. We loved it!

Perfect Quiet Romantic Getaway for 2
Absolutely adorable place to stay as a couple. Hubby and I drove into the city to see TSO in concert and didn’t want to drive home. This hotel is super adorable and love the original home pieces left. We will be back and hope to stay in another house/room so we can explore more.

Older Beautiful House With Great Service.
I think the best thing beside being in a gorgeous older building was the staff. Starting with the third shift guy, kitchen worker and Cameron who greeted us with a smile. He constantly asked we needed anything.
Also, I had a great conversation with a couple from Madison, Wisconsin.
