We were in town visiting family. The location is great. Its a quiet neighborhood with easy access to shopping, etc. For those traveling with older folks, the stairs are very steep. The kitchen had everything we needed. Although you need to bring your own wine glasses. The bathroom is very nicely done. We would recommend the home and will probably stay here again.

Great historic home near the center of Plainfield. Kitchen and bathroom were well-stocked, everything was clean, furnace worked great. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Situated in a cul-de-sac so minimal traffic noise. The host was easy to contact and extremely friendly. Easy parking off the main road. We will be coming back for sure. Highly recommended!

Delightful, cosy and welcoming retreat.

Everything that was as described, with more little touches that made our stay very comfortable and enjoyable. Lovey historic home, immaculately clean and well stocked with everything we needed for a home away from home.

Cute and clean!

I loved staying here! The historic house was clean and well appointed. I loved learning a little about the history of the house. Only a couple blocks from the nice downtown of Plainfield, we could walk to dinner at night and coffee in the morning. I highly recommend this rental!!

Small, historic home. The kitchen has quality pots and pans. Even though there were just a few, i was able to cook a turkey. And prepare a full holiday meal for the three of us.

Adorable historic house in a cute neighborhood! Although it's an older home, it's been updated and worked well for us! Also, there is some newer living room furniture than shown in the listing picture - there's 2 comfy chairs in addition to the couch, so that was a nice surprise. Note to parents: the upstairs floors creak (expected in an older home), so if you have super light-sleeper with you -especially a baby-.. might not be the best fit for you. The stairs creak quite a bit, so it's not possible to silently sneak downstairs during nap time lol - luckily our 4 year old is a heavy sleeper and didn't wake up from the noise at all. If you don't have a baby to worry about waking up, the creaking won't bother you at all. It's super cute and clean and walkable to charming downtown Plainfield. Lots of stores, restaurants, and coffee shops around, too. Weeks later, my daughter is still talking about how much she loves the "red house" and wants to go back :) Highly recommend!
