A must see and stay. A delicately preserved masterpiece!!

This historical masterpiece has been exquisitely refurbished and beautifully decorated. Wowza! The house was full of beautiful built-ins and fireplaces that were original to the home. The beds were pristine and super comfy for our stay. Each bedroom designed with purpose. These was plenty of living spaces and places to sit and gather. It was great for our large family. We were able to fix a delicious meal in the kitchen because it was well stocked with the things we needed. If you are wanting eclectic historical charm… look no further. This is your spot! Thank you Mark for being so accommodating to our family. Perhaps you and my daughter, who will soon be an ISU graduate too, can collaborate on designing another great place for visitors to stay! Five stars from our family!! You have done an amazing job with this property. Thanks again! We will be back!!
