About this property

The Wilder House on Whiskey Row in Prescott. Location! Location! Location!

Wilder House on Whiskey Row
Added to the National Historic Registry in 1978 and built in 1879, this historic Victorian gem is decked out with time-period-correct décor right in the heart of Prescott. Located just one block from the Courthouse Square, it’s steps away from the nightlife, shops, and dining of Whiskey Row. For nature lovers, hiking trails and a year-round creek are only 50 steps from the front door.

Renovated in 2018, the Wilder House blends classic charm with modern conveniences: all LED TVs (with Sling TV Cable), a Keurig, USB chargers, Alexa, and high-speed Wi-Fi throughout. A water softener and reverse osmosis (RO) drinking water system ensure fresh, pure water at all times—one less thing to worry about packing.

Experience living history in this 150-year-old Victorian treasure and enjoy an unforgettable stay in downtown Prescott.

Great Location and a Unique House

Location is everything and this place was super close to Whiskey Row and all the shops and restaurants you would want to go to. On top of that the house was very cool and unique. It was almost like stepping back in time but some modern day comforts!! We will definitely stay here again!

Memories of Grandma & Grandpa's House

Brought back memories of visiting my grandparents' house when I was little. Except this is updated with modern conveniences and within walking distance of all that makes downtown Prescott such a special place. Wonderful visit.

Location and charm - 8 thumbs up!

There were 4 of us that stayed here, hence the 8 thumbs. Loved the home, and location can’t be beat! Anything built in the 1800’s is gonna have some quirks, so if you don’t mind some creaky floors this place is for you. The property manager was on top of some immediate needs we had and was very responsive. Beds were very comfy too!

Birthday Celebration

My daughter wanted to go to Prescott for her birthday, enjoy the antique shops, the town square and restaurants. She loves all things old and really enjoyed the history and beauty of this historic home. It was clean and just as described. Erik was awesome, even answering silly questions for us. Great stay over all!

Beautifully restored Victorian within walking distance to Whiskey Row

7 members of my hiking club rented this lovely historic property to celebrate New Years in Prescott. It was well stocked, comfortable and had lots of hot water and heat on our snowy nights! We especially enjoyed the parlor and the photos of Tip and Mary Bacon Wilder! We hiked to the Giant Alligator Juniper Tree, saved by the Granite Mtn Hot Shots in the Doce Fire of 2013, just two weeks before 19 of them tragically perished in the Yarnell Fire.

A Place I Would Stay Again

My friends and I really enjoy the home. The location is close enough to Whiskey Row. The home is amazing. Built in the 1800's and is on the National Registry of Historical Homes. The rooms are spread out and not on top of each other. Plenty of space for our group. The owner was easy to communicate with and was quick to respond. We were here in December and it was cold outside and warm inside. I would love to be back in Prescott in the Summer and stay here again!

A more professional host & honest description of property would have made this a better stay.

Good - fantastic historical home, excellent period décor, only 2 blocks to downtown Prescott. Bad – Window air conditioning in upstairs hall does not cool the upstairs bedroom or the upstairs bathroom making the entire second floor unusable during the summer (Prescott was 100 degrees during the day & did not cool down the upstairs sufficiently at night to use the bedroom. We didn’t need a 3rd bedroom until the last night and the instructions to cool the room didn’t work. The final morning of our stay I found one of my guests sleeping on the floor because this bedroom was not usable). The icemaker in the refrigerator does not work. The advertised island in the kitchen is nonexistent. Because the house is old, some of the doors do not latch when closed. Reporting needs is through a phone number that contacts an “AI” bot that indicates it cannot contact the host when there is a problem but tries to solve the problem itself. It is not very good at doing that. Bring your own shampoo and conditioner, it is not provided. Bring extra kitchen towels if you have a longer stay as only one is provided. The host was not professional. After hosting our own VRBO for over 10 years this is the first host I have encountered who had no concern that his property had a major flaw that caused a guest to sleep on the floor but was more interested in insulting his guests. I recommend reconsidering this property, especially during summer months. It isn't worth the price!
