Great location. Comfortable beds and bedding. Stove was somewhat difficult to figure out. Some of the pans in the kitchen need to be replaced. Couches in the TV area are not very comfortable and there is not enough to accommodate seating for 8. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Newport estate

The house was wonderful the new renovations to the key areas of the house were great Plenty of room to relax and find a little privacy inside the house if you needed it. Kimberly was great to deal with And I would certainly recommend That you reserve the house for yourself on your next visit Or upcoming visit

This historic home is conveniently located for a Newport visit. It is spacious with lots of rooms for relaxing or gathering. It is climate controlled, clean, and light filled with old shutters for privacy. A great kitchen where we enjoyed morning coffee and setting out our snacks or light meals. Each bedroom is blissfully decorated with antiques and comfortable beds. The property is private and quiet after shopping, dining, touring and celebrations in beautiful Newport.

Loved the Gilded Age Charm! Well-appointed and comfortable home!

Fabulous restoration of an impressive home yet a true feeling of warmth and comfort. My family loved staying here and enjoying the charm and elegance of years gone by with modern and high-end conveniences. Even the bedding was top notch! We were staying in Middletown for a family wedding and Kimberly could not have been more accommodating. Highly recommend this property for a large family like mine or a girls weekend.

Amazing host and property

I can’t thank Kimberly enough for being one of the best hosts I’ve ever had on vrbo. The house and property was amazing. The house was super clean and just as described. Kimberly was more then accommodating and very helpful. The beds were very comfortable which I was very happy with as most other rentals lack in that area. Would highly recommend this to anyone.

Comfortable accommodations & Gilded Glamour combined!

We had the best girls weekend at Elmhyrst. The check-in property was seamless and the house was the best of both worlds, clean and up to date but also beautifully restored to its orginal character. We had so much fun pretending like we had gone back in time (while still feeling comfortable with central air during a heat wave!). Kimberly was very responsive and attentive and the experience was fantastic. I’ve already recommended it to several friends!

Fantastic girls weekend!

We had a wonderful summer weekend at this beautiful property! The history of the house and intricate details are fascinating and they did a great job refinishing this gem recently. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. We had to contact Kim for a small issue and she responded immediately. I would definitely book this property again in the future!
