  This house is comparable to a wonderful bed and breakfast with character and history. The photos and information given were an accurate reflection of the property and the actual stay was much more unique with all the historic and antique artifacts throughout the house. The property was immaculate, all rooms and amenities completely function able [washer/dryer/toaster etc] The front porch and top balcony were an experience and would recommend this property, the coordinator and the location to everyone--not to mention how the coordinator [point of contact] bent over backwards to ensure our stay was just what we needed. He also provided his availability at the drop of a hat, when we needed to return for something we forgot after we had locked up the house . This house made out drive to Sacramento State University and the sleep train an easy drive for our daughters graduation from nursing school. I am thankful to have found this house at the last minute when I did.

  I brought my mom and daughter so we could visit family nearby. I wanted us to each have our own space to unwind at night and this really did the trick. We each had our own wonderful bedroom. While there isn't standard cable the netflix was more than enough for us (and I was able to use my own amazon prime streaming service too); free internet access for laptops and cell phones. A nice kitchen with full fridge. The stairs were not something my mom could go up and down often but she managed fine. All of the bedrooms and bathrooms are upstairs. Dan was very nice and helpful and I would definitely stay here again if all of us go back.

  Our stay of two weeks was lovely. Mr. Hood is the easiest person to get along with. The house is interesting and is as described on line. It is a fun and fascinating place to stay right in the heart of Sacramento. While we did not have a big event there, I can see how it would be fun to host a catered dinner for a birthday or wedding. I must mention that the owner is immediately responsive to any concerns and even brought us a few of the best tasting oranges from his own tree I have ever had. I would recommend it to anyone, especially those larger groups-the house can accommodate several people.

  Even though I had seen the pictures, it still took my breath away. I told my husband it felt as though we had managed to hide in a museum after closing. So fun dancing to the wind up phonograph player! Everyone that walked in had the same expression of shocked delight. Besides the top shelf decorating the home was very comfortable, well appointed & close to everything. I rode my bike a few blocks down to the capital & then to Old Town. I would love to stay here again. Thankyou for a wonderful, once in a lifetime experience!

  We just returned from a delightful Christmas at the J. Neeley House. The owners surprised and delighted us with Christmas decorations outside and in that made it a very memorable stay. Candles and bows, twinkling lights and a porch festooned with ribbons and luminaria made every room special. Thanks Dan! The house is great fun for guests and the kitchen very nicely equipped for entertaining. Try it if you are staying in the Sacramento area....no disappointments.

  What an incredible chance to spend some time in an historic home close to everything in Downtown Sacramento! After a few months apart for work, my wife and I met up at the J. Neely Johnson house shortly after Thanksgiving. It was everything we were hoping for, and just as advertised! Comfortable and homey while clearly an elegant Victorian. We would definitely return! I just hope the neighborhood would follow the example of the owners of the Johnson house and begin to rebuild one of Sacramento's oldest neighborhoods, and which could be one of its nicest.

  We enjoyed this property very much and the owner was very helpful and available. It was well cared for and unique (oldest home in Sacramento) with a beautiful piano (we would have loved hymnals and music books) and windup phonograph and records. Sure beat a hotel room because we could each have our own room and still enjoy together time. Comfortable beds too. Thank you, Dan!

  The owner did a good job of coordinating the key dropoff and providing general (and also specific) instructions for the place. The house itself is amazing. It is really like staying in a house from that period (except for the two TVs and the kitchen appliances). Dan also allowed us to use the guest bathroom, which has a proper shower in it. I recommend you ask for the same during your visit, as the clawtub in the master bathroom is not ideal. The house was quite clean, which is impressive given how much square footage there is to maintain. While it ain't the Fabulous 40s in terms of location, it's certainly no worse than Midtown Sac neigborhoods, and the parking in the rear makes it an extremely safe place to stay. Honestly, I would say it's probably safer than Midtown Sac overall, and the neighbors next door are really cool. For what he is charging, this place is probably the biggest bargain in the Sacramento area. I mean, if it was in the Fab 40s area, you would easily expect to pay $200 a night or more. Did I mention that you are helping to preserve a Greek Revival style Neoclassical historic home. That's another great reason to stay here. Don't give your money to some chain hotel if you can help it! In short, we will most certainly stay here whenever we visit Sacramento again (assuming it's available).

  What a beautiful home. Unbelievably furnished and with a sleep number bed! When we walked in, we felt instantly at home. Cozy, comfortable and fun. The master bedroom has a great balcony that we spent the next morning on having coffee in the crisp morning air. It was a great feeling. The master bathroom was roomy and the shower pressure was great (a big deal for me). The kitchen had everything we needed and was roomy enough to move around in. Off street parking made me more comfortable about my vehicle (I'm pretty picky about where I park her). This home was perfect for the one night stay here in Sacramento. Centrally located where we could get downtown quickly and easily. We can't wait to come stay again!!
