About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Historic, creative, close to downtown!

Historic, creative, close to downtown! Set aside day-to-day distractions to focus on writing or to simply relax. Grab a book from the library to read on a blue velvet sofa or in the backyard with the birds under the maple and walnut trees.

The kitchen has a stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator. and the pantry is stocked with dishes, pots, and pans, and a range of utensils for cooking or baking. There are two coffee makers: a single cup Keurig and OXO for larger pots.

There are several local coffee shops nearby if you prefer an active environment. But when you're ready to lay out materials on an inspiring desk, we have two! One is walnut with lyres carved into the base and a surface inlaid with sheet music. The other is Victorian walnut with a solid pull-out surface and many drawers and compartments. In the drawers, you'll find paper and pens. Each bedroom has a desk and a view of a red brick church through the pine branches. There are several lighting options, outlets for your laptop, and free wifi.

No parties. Please do not disturb the tenants next door. They have a gentle, friendly older dog who does not bark but may pop out in the yard with her owner.

The TV in the living room that has streaming apps. The house has a security system and we live about a mile away should you need anything.

We LOVED this house. Communication was great and he was flexible with me. We love German Village so this was perfect. The neighbors were a little loud, but definitely no one's fault, and would definitely not prevent us from staying again.

Nice location, had everything we needed. Good home base for State Fair, Franklin Park Conservatory and the Irish Festival. The steps are steep to the two bedrooms. The bathroom is on the first floor. It can be tricky for folks that are physically challenged. We enjoyed the back yard also. All went well for us.

Cute and comfy

Everything was just as expected! The description of the house was spot on. Very clean, had everything you would need as far as towels, utensils, etc... Communication with the host was excellent! I am not familiar with the area, and thought the neighborhood was going to be a little more upscale/historic, but the location in proximity to what we wanted to do/see while in town was perfect! Sitting in the backyard/patio area having coffee in the morning was lovely! It was a nice stay, and the beds were very comfortable!

Cozy home near everything

We just spent two nights at this property. 4 of us were in town for a Dance Competition at the Convention Center. We were never anymore than about ten minutes from the Center and all the restaurants we wanted to visit. Less than 5 minutes from the awesome Book Loft. Plenty of parking right in front. Neighborhood was safe and quiet. The home was very clean and comfortable. Two adults and two teens had plenty of room. Literary themed with lots of classic touches throughout the home. The owner graciously included lots of amenities, such as shampoo, conditioner and soap. Communication was excellent throughout. We will return wherever we are in town again.
