Very charming house - just the right size for our group. Traveling for a family gathering with our children and grandchild over the holidays and needed a place to sleep and eat breakfast between activities. The kitchen was thoughtfully stocked and sufficient to make an apple crisp from scratch during our stay. Beds were very comfortable. We had a winter storm during our stay. While it's an older home, the furnace plus extra blankets available made for a very lovely and cozy stay! Would absolutely come again.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this beautifully restored historic home! We appreciated the spacious floor plan, comfortable furniture, wonderful dining table with comfortable chairs and amazing hot shower! The kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed and the proximity to downtown is truly steps away! The host was very responsive, kind and detailed. We would absolutely stay again! Thank you so very much

Perfect location if you plan to wander College Avenue or attend the fine arts downtown. The backyard is charming and allowed us to sit amongst the flowers and catch up with our friends. The house was spotless and decorated nicely. We had dinner reservations at Lombardi's Steakhouse and it was only about a four/five block walk. The owner was excellent to work with and lived near by so they managed taking out the garbage and other things most VRBO properties ask the renter to do, so very cool.

Kentucky/Tennessee Family trip

It was a beautiful home set close to everything of interest. The claw foot tub was a huge bonus. All appliances and amenities were great. The only thing I would recommend is turning the front room into an actual bedroom with a bed for elderly that can’t do the stairs. Art and flowers were beautiful.
