Great property and easy check-in/out process. I was in town for my HS reunion and this place worked out perfectly. Everything was top quality from the room, amenities, communication, etc. I love that the owners have renovated and repurposed a historic building, giving it new life. I highly recommend this property if you are staying in Chillicothe.

I liked everything about the property. Especially that most everything was within walking distance. The room was spacious, and very clean. I liked that there were snacks, and a small kitchenette. They had everything that you would need, stored away, in case you forget something on your trip. Mike and Jill were very nice, and i will definetely stay with them again the next time i go see my kids. 😁

We enjoyed our stay. The apartment was clean, had access to laundry facilities, exercise room was neat n clean, and the added accessories—that you would not find in a hotel—were a pleasant surprise. The ease of getting in touch with the hosts was a plus. When in the area again we will be sure look them up!!! An elevator would have been nice, but I handled the small amount of steps to get to the second floor.

Beautiful and safe

I was looking for a place to stay close to Cutright Park and couldn't have found a nicer apartment or location. We felt really safe as the Bacon Building is right across the street from the police station. Our apartment was very nice, a beautiful mix of historic and modern. We didn't have time to explore the historic downtown but will do so in the future.
