About the host

Hosted by Anthony Raffety

Host profile image
Hi, I am Anthony! I am a father of 4 & a US Marine Corps Veteran. Along with my partner Anne, we own and operate Tartan House & Holiday House in Decatur, Illinois. We love to take professional travel photography, interior design, and sing & dance with our kids!

Why they chose this property

We looked for nearly a year for a new house and when Tartan House went on the market, we called our realtor that very day. The moment we stepped inside we fell in love. Its rich history, persevered character, and updated amenities make it a treasure as a short-term rental. Photos do not do it justice.

What makes this property unique

The high ceilings, double fireplace, massive sunroom, large bedrooms, original wood throughout.... so many details will make you never want to leave. We added all the amenities of a luxury hotel (Smart Heating & Air controls, HDTVs throughout, soap, shampoo, conditioner dispensers in every shower; memory foam beds, spa style bath towels, microfiber wash clothes, fully stocked kitchen) all while preserving its historic charm.
