A must stay!

Staying there was above what we expected! My husband and our son stayed there because were in the area to drop our son off at Ft Gregg Adams for Ait. The base is almost a straight line from the property which made it very convenient On the outside of the property it’s very unassuming, but the inside was filled with antiques, original wood beams and the property is full with history. Decorated to the era. Being in the historical district of Petersburg was very fitting. Nightly we heard passing cars that had very loud bumping music but aside from that the neighborhood was cute and friendly. Now the host Kim, what a sweetheart of a man. He responds quickly to your needs and he went above and beyond anyone or anywhere we have ever stayed. He shared a guide book he has been putting together which was very helpful and we did many things on it and his recommendations for restaurants were spot on. If you are ever in the area of Petersburg, doing the historical suggestions on his list is a must. So much civil war history in the area. Do not pass up this amazing place. We definitely will be back. Thank you Kim for your hospitality and sharing your beautiful home with us.
