Great location, tons of charm!

This place was so perfect. The bar/restaurant district just down the street was great and everything was easily accessible. The house was exactly as pictured and everything you could need is there. The owner called to make sure we got checked in and see if we needed anything. Stay here, it’s a win!

About the host

Hosted by Monte King

We lived in this home the first 2 years of marriage and even though our lives dictated we move away. We kept the house as a rental since 1982. All four of our grown children have rented it as young adults. We've had long term renters, most good and some bad. We chose not to renew the last lease agreement and reclaimed our home for other people and travelers to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

A historic and eclectic area with friendly neighbors in what historians say is Oklahoma City's first middle class neighborhood.
A vintage home in a preserved historic neighborhood built for JC Penneys good friend, Somerville Gilchrist. His first store manager in Oklahoma City. The home is largely preserved as built. Nine foot ceilings and original untouched maple woodwork. Original tile fireplace, hardwood floors and an entry room (for Rose Gilchrists baby grand piano) instead of an open front porch. As soon as you enter you will immediately feel at home.
